vered to the bridal staff.
We stayed at the house the night before. For the price of what you get, you won’t find anything in comparison.
I would get married all over again (but I won’t) at Hawks Point Acres. Nothing but literal perfection.
I had many guests state they literally gasped when the doors open as they saw my father standing there, waiting to walk down the aisle.
Thank you Missy and staff, we appreciate everything you’ve done for us and helped with!
Huge shout out to Bailey J, she was absolutely awesome and such a huge help!
Working with Missy and her team at Hawks Point Acres was amazing! The venue is absolutely beautiful and I love that she provides the opportunity to stay in the farmhouse overnight....
When we saw that option, we jumped right on it! It allowed us to get items there the day before and not have to worry about scrambling to get things there the day of. The farmhouse provided as space to get ready and our hairstylist and makeup artist both loved the fact that there were salon chairs in the room! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding or host any event, it’s affordable and well worth it! Thank you so much Missy for opening your venue to Josh and I, we thoroughly enjoyed our day!
This place is so beyond beautiful! Even though on my wedding day it was rainy and stormy, the ceremony inside was perfect. They went above and beyond to make sure all of my decorat...

io was an amazing touch that allowed us to have more indoor space in the barn for tables and dancing. We loved having decor available to us at the venue that we could incorporate into our vision for how everything should look. The farmhouse was the perfect place to get ready and made life easy for our hairstylist and makeup artist. We’re so glad we chose Hawks Point!
Hawks Point Acres made our wedding day that much more magical! From the beautiful venue to the helpful staff our experience with Hawks Point was wonderful. Having the options for a...
n outdoor ceremony and a semi-indoor reception was the perfect for what we were wanting. With the rain storm that came in halfway through our reception it was nice to be able to have our guests be inside the barn while still enjoying the barn. The staff also was kind to help guests with umbrellas to their cars and help clean up in the downpour.
We WILL recommend Hawks Point Acres to all our friends and family for future events.

re able to have our ceremony and reception at one location. They also have a farmhouse on the property where you can get ready the day of your wedding. We loved everything about our big day and can’t thank Missy enough for all of her help!
The venue is so perfect on it's own that I was able to keep the décor at a minimum. The grounds are beautiful for an outdoor wedding - the farmhouse was awesome for myself and my ...
party to get ready. Missy and her staff were very attentive and wonderful to work with. There were perfect areas to set up the social hour, buffet and the bar along with the DJ. The Best!
This was an amazing and beautiful venue for our wedding day. Missy was super helpful throughout the past year in making sure we had our liquor license, answering any questions I ha...
d, and making sure everything ran smoothly on wedding day. She went above and beyond what we expected and even had very helpful information on how to obtain our liquor license and when to do so. The venue coordinators were very helpful on wedding day and during set up the day before and overall the experience was amazing. I can’t wait to see the photos from my photographer! The venue was also very clean, well maintained, and so many cute spots for photos.
I LOVED everything about this place. The cottage, the scenic photoshoot opportunities, the man caves, the chandeliers. The staff was super helpful and on top of it. Missy was the b...

Very professional and the most amazing night of our lives we would recommend to anyone
I was a 2020 engaged bride who planned our wedding for May 2021! While covid was the obvious stressor, about 6 months prior to our big day I got notification that there were new ow...
ners... Out of the blue. However, Missy, one of the new owners, was very helpful and ensured me that things would be fabulous! And they were! I booked the Barn & bridal house/grooms garage from 11-11 Saturday and the barn Friday from 5-7.

sts also told us how nice the venue was and how perfect the wedding turned out to be! Our original wedding date had to be postponed due to COVID and the owner accommodated the change in plans with no problem. I highly recommend The Barn at Hawks Point!
I had always envisioned getting married outside and by a barn. This was a dream come true for me. My family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the venue and the owners were eas...

azing outdoor space. Not only did The Barn provide us with the best wedding venue, the customer service was top notch, too. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy, but the staff was so helpful during the whole process that made this bride feel relieved. We highly recommend The Barn at Hawks Point for your wedding!
This barn is everything you're looking for: you can have more time or less, whatever you need and so if saving money is important to you this is great. Beautiful property!
Everything was perfect!
Can I say this venue is perfect? Cause it is. Staff were so communicative and friendly. Anytime I had a question or wanted to visit the venue before my wedding they were available....
The venue itself is stunning and you don’t have to spend a ton of money on decor. They don’t force you to use a list of their preferred vendors which is nice but they do have recommendations if wanted. Tables and chairs are set up for the event which is nice to not have to hassle with. They also allow rental the night before your wedding which allowed us to have everything set up for the next day as well as go through our rehearsal. Thank you Barn at Hawks Point for making our day so memorable !
What a great place to get married! It’s so beautiful and quiet around the area. Perfect rustic barn wedding. The price was perfect for what we were looking for. Once a bonus note, ...
a lot of barns don’t have HVAC for heat and AC and they do. As well as actual bathrooms, including a special bathroom for a bride to have plenty of room.
Hawks Point was perfect! We really wanted an outdoor space that was naturally beautiful, and from the first visit we knew that this was the place for our special day. Their assista...
nce on the day of the wedding was very helpful because there was someone right there to answer any questions we had. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice!
Such a beautiful property!!!! The staff was amazing. Very profession and attentive!
This is a hidden gem in Madison County! Perfect!
There are so many wedding venues to choose from, but we never thought twice when we chose Hawks Point. Great from beginning to end!
So glad we found this venue! The property and barn is stunning and has all the conveniences you could ask for. Great experience!
Our daughter's wedding reception was flawless at the Barn at Hawks Point. The entire property and facilities were clean and well maintained. There was ample parking, and someone ...
from the organization was always on site if we had questions. Karen and her staff are very organized and pay attention to all the details. She had a list of reputable vendors that we could use if we didn't already have someone scheduled, or if one of our vendors backed out. I have been to a few weddings and receptions at other barn types of facilities, and this was by far the best. It didn't smell musty and dirty as others did. The big doors open up, and we had a nice breeze the whole evening.
There are so many details to worry about when planning a wedding. Don't hesitate to work with Karen and her staff at the Barn at Hawks Point. They take care of the details so you can, check one of the biggest items off your list and not even worry about whether or not the venue will be nice and clean. Their calendar fills up quickly, so plan ahead. You won't regret having your celebration here!
This venue is AMAZING. Your guests will be comfortable with the indoor restrooms and plumbing, climate control, gorgeous pergola, convenient parking. The grounds gorgeous. ...
Your guests will remember your event for years to come.
This is a really unusual wedding venue, but also very comfortable and classy.
The property was very pretty.
First off let me start by saying the grounds are beautiful and definitely a great setting for a smaller wedding like ours. We had 80 people are felt like it was the perfect size fo...
r our event.
I do have a few "cons" I would like to share....
1). You can only visit the property one date per month (always on a Sunday) for 1 hour. At the beginning this was fine, but as it got closer to the wedding date, there are so many small details to take into account that 1 hour, once a month is not ideal for this. The Sunday TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING, my mother and I were practically pushed out because we had reached our hour limit. The mother and daughter team running this take their time very seriously (not really caring about the people who are spending quite a bit of money to rent this) and are only concerned with closing up shop at their exact specified time, not a moment after.
2). They don't open the gates early, EVER. If you have an appointment at 1:00 on a Sunday, don't show up until 1:05. They won't open the gates a few minutes before. Almost every time I or my family went there, we were sitting outside the gate until the exact time. I find this extremely unprofessional and not a great way to do business.
3). On the day of my wedding, the coordinator who was supposed to be on site was no where to be found. As we were setting up, we had several questions, but couldn't find anyone to answer them. Again, very unprofessional. The person on site should be visible in case a question needs answered. I should not have to go searching the property to find the staff.
4). If you want to schedule your rehearsal the night before, you will pay extra. They have all rehearsals scheduled for the Thursday before. Again, not ideal if you have out of town people as part of your wedding party.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the level of service we received and if I had to do it over again, I would not choose to have my wedding here. The grounds are beautiful, but there aren't enough positives to outweigh these negatives.
The Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding! The outside ceremony site options are gorgeous and such an easy walk to the reception barn. The Barn is absolutely beautiful inside ...
and out and offers so many decorations, a fire pit, and outdoor area to play games/dance/etc. The owners answered my countless emails quickly and with so much patience and were so kind every time we went to visit! The price is also so much better than anywhere else we looked at! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our perfect day.
Beautiful day if with all the rain! I wouldn’t change a thing ❤️
They helped provide us our dream wedding. The barn is absolutely beautiful. The staff is so outgoing and positive. They really show concern for what you are wanting. They give so ...
many options and have decorations you can use. so many positive things I can say about this venue.
Absolutely beautiful venue!!! Great crew to work with. They were super helpful the day of the wedding with set up. A/C made a HUGE difference for our day. Would suggest it in a hea...
rtbeat to any bride to be!
Hope they put up more hanging room for brides/bridesmaids dresses (only one hook in bridal suite) And I wish they had a refrigerator for catering leftovers, we weren’t able to keep our leftovers unless we had a fridge to keep cool.
The barn is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly and extremely helpful with everything about your day!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Barn on July 14th and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting! Staff is super at communication and answering any questions...
quickly. It was in the mid 90s and super hot the day of but the barn stayed relatively cool with the doors shut. We had so many compliments on how pretty the barn and property are and we were happy to find this place!
This is a gorgeous barn and property, with several different packages to choose from. Compared to most of the barns we've seen, Hawks Point is quite reasonably priced and includes...
A/C, indoor bathrooms and lots of other things. This is a gem!
The event was beautiful! They have a lot of restrictions (e.g. events must end early, no hard alcohol, they don’t recycle, must use their caterer options only one of which was wedd...
ing appropriate, etc.) and they offer event add-on services for a fee AFTER you sign the contract (e.g. event coordinator, chair moving, 1/2 day rental fee to rehearse the night before, etc.), which is really frustrating, but I’d recommend the location. Gentlemen’s quarters were very nice, as was the bridal suite (albeit SMALL for all the women, dresses & coming & going event staff that needed to fit). The on-duty staff and security were very nice and helpful.
All in all, we got wonderful feedback from our family and friends on the beautiful location. It’s a lovely newer barn and was the perfect setting for our small autumn wedding (fits 125, I think). Our pictures will be stunning thanks to the surroundings.
Love this venue. It is beautifully maintained and landscaped. Very helpful staff and well run.
