My cousin Elizabeth was married here on 7-31-21 and the wedding was incredible due in large part to the venue being at The Old Homestead. On my way to the location, my GPS acted up a little trying to find it but really there's no way you can miss it with the huge parking lot out in front of the building. It was an impressive venue that hosted appx. 100 guests. There was space enough for dancing and the caterers set up tables on the deck for dinner. Located in a secluded area of Crockett which was a big plus since it kept the surrounding noise to a minimum. The bright and sunny day along with the beautiful garden all came together nicely to give a Summer vibe to the wedding. And the bride and groom couldn't have been happier with their dream wedding at such a memorable location.
