Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged our son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner at Blackwoods and I cannot say enough about what a positive experience it was. The room was spacious (we had close to 51 people) and the staff was kind, professional and available to help with anything we needed. We had a buffet style dinner and our guests commented on the prime rib, saying it was "the best they ever had." Blackwoods staff made the start of our wedding weekend such an enjoyable experience. They easily accommodated us with our "slide show" presentation of the bride and groom and our musical guest which we brought in for dinner music. I would highly recommend them and thank them for the great experience.

Agate Acres Farm & Events is an incredible wedding venue that I highly recommend! Their communication style is fast, friendly, and incredibly helpful - they were a joy to work with every step of the way. The quality of their work and the value they provide is truly timeless, free-spirited, and perfectly captures the essence of the northwoods. They provided a unique and stunning space for any special day, and are so kind and accommodating to all of the vendors we worked with. Agate Acres is deeply plugged into the local community and partners with so many small businesses in the area, which adds to the genuine, authentic feel of the venue. As a photographer, I can say that this is hands down one of my favorite spaces to capture weddings - the field, red barn, landscaping, and river running through the property make it an absolute dream location with endless potential.
