 This venue is a hidden gem. If you are looking for an outdoor party venue full of natural beauty and with easy access off of I5 this is it. The grounds are well maintained by the family who have also used the timber off the property to build benches, tables, a bar, etc. which adds to the charming natural atmosphere. We had over 100 hundred guests at our daughter's wedding party and there was plenty of room to walk around, play games, dance, eat drink and be merry. This was at the end of July this year when the weather was crazy hot , but due to all the trees on the property it remained cool. The owners are wonderful to work with and very quick to respond. We would definitely ask to rent this beautiful venue again. 

My now husband and I had picked a venue for our wedding, and then the venue unfortunately fell through. My mom was searching for us and found Weddings Down by the Pond. Upon arrival I knew it was the one. I even asked them if I could live there, it’s my dream place :).  Emily and her Father were so accommodating, from our first meeting to the end of our wedding. They helped us so much and made it so perfect for us. The benches, logs, tables, chairs, lights  and cake area were all provided for us. Such a blessing. We even had a photo opp with a bench that fit perfect in between. They are such nice people and I would get married there again and again. I highly recommend them. The venue is absolutely beautiful and needs hardly anything to make it your own. If you’re dreaming of a fairytale wedding or classic outdoor wedding this is you place. The bridal suite is on site and so very cute. Tons of places to have your ceremony or reception. 

All the wood and everything you see if hand crafted by them. They’re AMAZING. Planning to have our one year or ten year celebration there.

Down by the pond was our life saver of a wedding venue.  What I thought was my dream venue went up for sale before our wedding date and we had to go and find another just a few months away before we said our I do's. Talk about stress!!  

Then we found a jewel tucked away in Battleground, Down by the pond not only had our date but also gave us several options as to how to host our ceremony. As avid outdoor lovers we chose a place tucked amongst their trees. It was beyond magical.  Emily and her folks all worked so hard to make sure everything was just perfect and ready to go. They had just the perfect dance floor, a gorgeous head table and so many little details. We got married in August and they even had a water mister!! Definitely came in handy that day.!  

The lost cause bar had everything as well (minus the actual drinks of course) that we needed as well to keep all of our guest hydrated. The most beautiful set up for a cake table. Fire tables, cocktail tables, several arbors to choose from and so much more. They really have thought about so much to make it easier on a soon to be couple.  

Endless possibilities as well for all my little details to be incorporated on their venue as well. They took away all of our stresses and made dreams become a reality. 

I could on for hours about every little perfect detail from the first walk thru to the last handshake.  

Down by the pond saved us from a nightmare and gave us our fairy tale.  

Do yourself a favor and just do a quick walk thru at Down by the pond in Battleground and see the vision of your dream wedding become a reality .
