had this to say:
The PERFECT venue for parties and get togethers. Al and Amelia make everything so simple and easy. The venue is so historic and beautiful that there isn’t need to decorate further unless you want to. We just had our Silver Anniversary Vow Renewal and we had a wonderful time! From the gorgeous outdoor area, to have our vows, to the fire pits and sound system for the music and microphone. It was a very special night. Our out of towners easily stayed across the street at the Literary Hotel which is a gorgeous boutique hotel. They even had lots of decor we could use right there—from signs and table numbers to plates and wine glasses so we didn’t have to provide them ourselves.

My wife and I just had our wedding here and could not have asked for a better place for our big day! Al was incredibly kind and easy to work with – a truly delightful host and a wonderful help in solving last minute problems. The venue itself was GORGEOUS and absolutely perfect for our party size and theme. The Hay Loft space was perfect for us as we got ready and made a great place for people to retreat to for a few minutes of quiet during the festivities. I’ll add photos once the photographer is done editing them, but I absolutely can’t recommend this place highly enough!

My spouse and I got married and had our reception at the Palmer House Stable. It is a beautiful, intimate space, and I simply cannot stress enough how amazing the owner (Al) is to work with. You cannot go wrong booking your event at the Palmer House Stable. Schedule your tour today—you won’t regret it!
