We’ve been together since our teens, married in our twenties and just celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary! If there’s one thing we’ve learned through the years, it’s that “Soul mates aren’t found. They’re formed in the trenches of marriage”.

We never set out to be venue owners. God had placed it within our journey. We own a tree farm, growing trees, shrubs and grasses and we have a herd of cattle. Chad had his eye on the beautiful piece of land the venue now sits on. It has a field of “in ground” magnolia trees that is now part of our inventory for our tree farm business (Legacy Farms and Ornamentals, LLC). Someone who was building a pole barn for us at the time, asked if we had considered building a venue since it was such a beautiful piece of property. That was a seed planted, and our minds were filled with what the venue would be. We began looking into barn venues, as well as the details involved in building one. Through much research and many conversations with key people (including God), it wasn’t long and we were on a plane to Texas to look at an event barn (and ended up looking at two). We came back with a vision for the property and the barn is just part of it!

Legacy is not just what you leave behind, but it’s really about what you set in motion during your lifetime, that will live on through the people you impart it to. As your lives are about to become one, know that how you live your lives, truly matters! It’s not just about people remembering you years from now. It’s about the effect your life actions will continue to have on others 50, 75 and even 100 years (or more) down the road. It’s about YOUR future generations! And it’s not only about your children and grandchildren, but the world they will live in! It’s our desire to help nurture a legacy that includes strong marriages and family ties.
