I was able to have my wedding reception at The Red Shed in June of 2019. The Lubbers family was a joy to work with. They truly care about their clients and want them to have the best wedding ever! They helped me out so much with set up, take down, almost all of my decorations, and more. I would recommend this venue a thousand times! I got so much wonderful feedback about the venue from TONS of guests and family! I could not have chosen a better place or people to work with for my husband and my big day!

I give the highest rating possible to the Red Shed. Everyone from Rick, Ashley, Emma, and Jill could not have been more helpful. If you are looking for a place to hold your wedding reception where you get nothing but the highest quality assistance and a great venue I would definitely recommend the red shed. Our daughters reception on July 7 there was nothing short of perfection and I thank all of those people from the red shed for their help. The red shed provided much in decoration to make our daughter's wedding beautiful. At the end of the night we asked what do we need to do they said
