From the reviews
Our wedding day was absolutely incredible. The venue was everything we ever dreamed it could be; whimsical, green, lush, expansive and versatile. Everything was well kept from the cottage where we got ready, to the grounds, greenhouse and reception tent.
The property is stunning from every angle. So much opportunity for incredible wedding photos! Photo: @garnetdahlia Venue: @historicshadylane Planning: @tarynblakeevents @d_teamtbe Catering: @farmacycafeandcatering Florals: @wild.
From the moment we first toured Historic Shady Lane, my now-husband and I knew we had found the venue of our dreams ✨✨ The estate is a true vision of beauty, with perfectly kept grounds and an array of stunning ceremony locations.
Historic Shady Lane was a dream come true for our wedding venue! It was everything we could have hoped it would be and more!! The bridal and groom suite were the perfect spot for us to get ready the morning of our wedding. We were even able to have our dog Maggie with us all day which made it that much more special.
Getting married at Historic Shady Lane LLC
Historic Shady Lane LLC comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
