District 5 Schoolhouse

ur decorations came from it and looked exactly how I dreamed it would! We also loved having the space beginning at 9am. We were able to decorate and get ready without any travel anxiety of having to wait for doors to open. We also hired one of the team members, Christine, to do chalk art for us and it was AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

onderful time. Thank you, Sarah!

you could imagine (cost saving special…let’s be honest) Do yourself a favor and book with this venue. I assure you, you will be happy you did.

The pay it forward closet was amazing!

o worry about renting much of anything to fill the space! Tables, chairs and linens are included in the rental price and so is access to their 'Pay it Forward' closet which is full of donated decor pieces from previous brides! The venue owner Sarah was quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the planning process and offered great suggestions to help with flow and setup. She has a team of staff that set up the space and manage vendor setup if you don't have a coordinator. If you're looking for something other than a barn venue for your wedding, check District 5 out, I guarantee you'll fall in love with it!

space. She is super detail-oriented and very quick to respond to any questions I had about the venue. She has so many well-organized resources as well, from decor to borrow to a list of vendors who have worked with the venue before. Another plus, there are few restrictions on which vendors can be brought in which enabled us to work with whatever caterers, DJs, bartenders we wanted (and helped keep costs down!). If you want a classy & cozy venue that offers flexibility and support, definitely would recommend!

thly without her and her teams help. Our family and friends had so many compliments for the venue and staff as well. They noticed little things throughout the event that Sarah addressed swiftly and seamlessly to keep things going smoothly. One of these things was good communication with the dj and other vendors. We loved being able to have our ceremony outside but then had our reception inside with the a/c and it was all at one location. The value here is unbeatable in our opinion. The loan closet is fantastic and we were able to have our friends and family help with things (like my aunt made the desserts and we were able to bring that in whereas other venues would not let us do that) which helped us keep our wedding affordable. There was plenty of parking and places to get ready the day of the wedding. We climbed the bell tower to take first look photos and this is an experience we will never forget. Our decision to have our special day at District 5 Schoolhouse is one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding- we cannot recommend them enough!

recommend District 5 Schoolhouse!

ing stage as well as the day of. The venue is stunning and had everything we were looking for. The bell tower for our first look was especially cool. We would hands down recommend this venue anyone else!

t to bring a bunch of stuff up. She was very easy going and made sure everything was what we wanted. Our families loved the outdoor games and bonfire at night. There was someone there the entire night and made sure everything ran smoothly. We could not have done it without them! Would 100% recommend!!

get married to one another). Don't overlook this hidden gem. Although the venue itself is fantastic, the best thing about this venue is actually the venue's owner, Sarah. She is incredibly nice and she really wants to get every detail of your wedding perfect. She is willing to spend a lot of time making your event magical. She also provided a lot of insight to my wife and I, we found her advice very useful. Sarah is very organized and even gives you a blueprint and timeline of your event just to make sure that no detail is overlooked. She is both reasonable and flexible. Sarah also puts your needs first and if there is any way that she can accommodate your request, she is more than happy to do so. Personally, we had a couple unusual requests for Sarah, but she was able to fulfill our needs perfectly. She will also respond to your needs quickly (especially anything that comes up on the wedding day) and she takes care of so many small things that might have otherwise been overlooked. She takes so much stress off of the engaged couple and planning the wedding would have been a lot harder without her. We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and we really loved getting to know her over our engagement. If I had looked into 200 more venues before deciding on District 5 Schoolhouse, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Sarah would still be the person that I would most want to do business with. District 5 Schoolhouse is also all-inclusive, so you save a ton of money on decorations. We were surprised at a lot of the things that were part of the package, like firewood for the firepit nearby and the yard games for cocktail hour. The venue also takes care of all of the setup work for everything and you get the venue to yourself (some venues give you a single room and you share common areas). It was also nice that we didn't have to worry about excessive rules and red tape that you may get at some other venues, just a few common sense things like no open flames in the building (it is historical). There is plenty of parking as well. One of the nicest features is also the bridal and groomsmen lounges. These are extra spacious rooms for you to get ready in the morning. Both are themed appropriately and the bridal lounge has a bunch of chairs and mirrors for prep work (similar to a beauty salon). This was absolutely amazing. If you want to book a venue based on value, look no further than District 5 Schoolhouse because the rates are very reasonable and Sarah still does not skimp out on amenities. It would be hard to find more value from a commercial venue. This venue is very charming and I would say it is the perfect size for small or medium size weddings (up to 100 people). The venue would still work and you would still have a fantastic time with guest counts from 100 to 200 though. You are missing out if you don't at least give this venue a tour. They are free and you might just find a venue that you will fall in love with (like we did).

with hardwood floors, chalkboards, original trim and pocket doors you will not be disappointed! Outside of that, the team at District 5 is really what will make your day special. Sarah and her team were incredible, rolling with all the COVID-19 and weather changes she was responsive and helpful throughout it all. She worked with all our vendors to answer questions and directed them day of. Sarah's kindness towards us will never be forgotten, we truly feel so lucky to have gotten married here.
