Congratulations to the winners in the 2024 Best of Johnson County Wedding categories!
Best Wedding Venue: Serendipity Farm & Vine
Serendipity Farm and Vine is located in Stilwell, nestled amongst beautiful landscape of trees and grape vines and three rustic elegant, renovated barns. Serendipity is known for its attention to detail, beautifully renovated barns, attentive staff, fun events and delicious wine and food. We have three barns on property one is a wine and coffee tasting room (green barn), a She Shed (red barn) and a wedding & event venue space (brown barn).
Our first wedding was July 2020, it was very special. Since then we have had so many couples get engaged and get married here. Its wonderful to see couples come back and want to do another event such as a baby shower or an anniversary, or even just enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee at the same place they were married. We love to be a part of those special days!
