Stout’s Serenity Acres

This past weekend I had the pleasure of officiating my little sister’s wedding at this location. Overall, I was very impressed with the staff and with the location itself, but I was taken a bit by surprise when I first arrived.
As it turns out, the property is literally the home of the staff. It is run by a husband and wife crew, along with relatives who pitch in to get the entire property ready for their events. They provide several packages at varying prices, and leave the option to use their home as a backup in the event of bad weather. Most of the food is made on-​site, again by the family.
My sister and her fiancé had chosen a sunset wedding, so we started the event with dinner, a choice of baked chicken (huge portions) or BBQ ribs, along with some pastas, potatoes, salad, bread, and corn. We learned later that the BBQ was prepared by a local restaurant, which was ok because the ribs were fantastic!
The ceremony itself was simple but elegant, with chairs set up and decorated in the wedding party’s colors, as well as candles and some tree decorations to complete the backdrop.
Afterward, cake was provided again by a local business owner, and it was also fantastic! Champagne was also provided as well as glassware.
Finally, we were treated to a small, yet pleasant fireworks display that kept the kids entertained.
The staff was great, very helpful and never in the way. Even the young boy who was there helping was very courteous and helpful to the guests. The owner is also a certified minister, in case your party does not have someone to officiate the event.
I would recommend anyone looking for a reasonably priced outdoor venue to take a look at Stouts’ Serenity Acres! The staff is amazing and very friendly. The location is beautiful and well kept, with plenty of spots for your photographer to take great photos!
