- CChristina H16/08/2024The Butternut Tree: Perfect Wedding VenueThe Butternut Tree: Perfect Wedding VenueWe got married at The Butternut Tree earlier this year, and could not have asked for a better experience. From the first tour of the venue (stunning), to the menu tasting (possibly the second best day of my year), to the wedding itself (so incredible and stress free), the team took care of us. Samantha was extremely responsive to any emails, and she and the rest of the team handled all set up and take down, following exactly what I had asked for.We got married at The Butternut Tree earlier this year, and could not have asked for a better experience.
