History and Purpose
Simple Pleasures began with a passion for preserving the simple joys of yesterday — classic cars, retro décor, good food, and great company. Over time, that passion evolved into something more: a space where guests could step back in time, slow down, and truly savor the moment.
We didn’t set out to build a wedding venue — we set out to build a place that made people feel something. Whether you’re exchanging vows in front of our picturesque waterfall, sharing your first dance under vintage lights, or arriving in one of our iconic convertibles, every moment here is designed to feel personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
Founders Ken and Elaine Miner
