The barn could not possibly have been more perfect for our needs. We had about 130 people at our wedding and the venue accommodated us perfectly. We did the ceremony outside at 5:30pm, with the reception immediately following indoors. The pond and fountain at sunset was a lovely backdrop, visible through the wall of glass doors.

Jodi was AWESOME. She's super easy to get a hold of by phone or email, a pleasure to talk with, and incredibly helpful, thorough, and flexible. She made our rain-plan really easy, and we very nearly needed it (it stopped raining about 20 minutes before the ceremony).

One note: the sound system is not great here. This is probably our fault; we didn't hire a DJ for our wedding because we were aiming for simplicity and low-budget, so we made our own playlist and plugged in a laptop to the barn's sound system. The volume was not nearly as loud as we would have liked it to be for the dancing/party atmosphere we were going for later in the reception. If I had to do it over again, the ONLY thing I'd change is that we'd hire a DJ primarily for the speakers he or she would bring with.

If you are planning a smaller wedding max 150 people, this is a beautiful place to have the wedding and reception. We were able to have the wedding outside, Michael and his crew were so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly.

A classmate recommended the Amelita Mirolo Barn to me, and it ended up being perfect for our summer wedding. I love that it is so unique- a barn in the middle of a city- and that we could personalize it so much with our decor. We had about 85 guests, and it was just the right amount of room for the tables, dance floor, and a photobooth inside. It was so nice to have the side barn doors open during the first part of our reception, too, since it was a gorgeous day. The guests really enjoyed walking around the park and hanging out on the patios thoughout the evening. We had our ceremony outside on the patio under the arch, which is beautiful with the fountain in the background.

Additionally, every single person I spoke with from the staff was very friendly and helpful. Michael answered numerous questions for me over the course of our planning, and was always nice and responsive. Jodi was the main person we worked with when we were actually at the barn (planning the layout, decorating, and then the actual wedding) and she was the best! Everything was easy and ran smoothly from start to finish. We decorated the barn the evening before the wedding, and Jodi and her colleague (Brian, I think?) were both really nice, calm, and happy to answer questions and do whatever they could to help us, even rearranging items in the fridges so we could store iced tea in one of them. It was really a great experience to have our wedding at the Amelita Mirolo Barn and I highly recommend it!
