The owners have done a phenomenal job renovating this church. It’s the perfect space for hosting a variety of events. I created a custom floral mural in one of the rooms, and Natalie and Michael were wonderful to work for.

We have been up to Adaumont Farm over and over again for private events, weddings, and other gatherings. The consistency of how well things are run is exceptional. On site crews including planners, building managers, all the way down to the groundskeepers all have the same vision - to make sure everybody's experience is incredible. It's hard to run a venue. It's really hard to run a venue well. It's almost unheard of to have a venue run extremely well consistently, week after week. This is the diamond standard for us!

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.
