“Ron and Susan Jacobson are absolutely the best to work with. They were so accommodating and helpful with every aspect of the wedding and reception.
They have a variety of locations to choose from to have your ceremony from an apple orchard to a rustic barn setting, a huge walnut tree and more! Their property is beautiful! We had the reception inside the rustic barn that was beautifully decorated!”
