The Dream Venue/Team
I cannot say enough great things about the venue and staff at Sherwood Forest. From the very first day through the wedding they were so responsive and absolutely amazing to work with. Dory and Sandy alleviated so much stress during our planning and execution through the wedding and made our dream day a reality! We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Wedding Magic
Dory and the rest of the staff were wonderful to work with at Sherwood Forest! I fell in love with the space the moment we toured it! They work with you on creating your vision for your wedding and they did a gorgeous job on ours! They were also very helpful with any questions we had and went above and beyond to include everything we were hoping for!

The perfect venue for the perfect day!
Sherwood Forest was a dream to work with and I am so happy I had my wedding there. Throughout the last year, they were wonderfully accommodating when I wanted to meet or had questions. They were always very responsive to my emails and was so fun to work with. Sandy and Dory have such an amazing collection of vintage decor and had great ideas and made the space look better than I ever could have imagined. Even when other aspects of wedding planning were stressing me out, a meeting with or visit to Sherwood Forest always reenergized me and got me excited for the big day. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride looking for a unique, gorgeous, and accommodating venue! Thank you Sherwood Forest staff for all that you did!
