Fairytale Wedding

A day that we will remember forever and ever. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding. Barnes Place is an absolutely beautiful venue to have a wedding and the staff is so sweet and so helpful. They help with everything down to the little things you wouldn’t even think of. Our wedding went so smoothly and everything about the ceremony and reception were flawless because of the venue staff. They even mail your marriage license for you so you don’t have to worry about it. We had the most magical fairytale wedding because of the venue, and the owner Paula, and all of her wonderful staff made it the most perfect wedding that we will cherish forever and ever. I highly recommend starting your forever with your best friend at this venue!

Dream Venue, Dream Staff, Obsessed!

I can't say enough good things about Barnes Place! When we started our wedding venue search we mentioned Barnes Place in passing and reached out for a tour - we had NO idea what we were in for. The venue is absolutely STUNNING! Paula gave us a really great tour and explained the updates they had done during covid lockdown - I knew we were in good hands! We booked the following week! Paula and her staff are truly amazing! Paula was always quick to answer any questions and communicated very clearly. She has documents and planning advice that help immensely during the planning process! We asked Paula everything and you truly can't put a price tag on her expertise and professionalism. We opted for the decorator and had Kristin, I am beyond glad we did! Kristin was so friendly and did a beautiful job setting up for our big day! I truly had no stress on my wedding day (5/21/21) - Paula, Kristin & Ernie had answers for every question and handled everything so smoothly! The venue truly is a dream - I am still getting comments on how beautiful the venue is and how everything was so well executed! I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Barnes Place to anyone!

Totally Worth it

It was absolutely everything we could ask for. Kristin our decorator did absolutely amazing and it looked so beautiful. The only thing I wish could have been different is the food portions, I wish they would have left food out for people to get seconds later in the evening.

Outstanding and Magical

Paula and her staff helped my husband and I design the wedding we dreamed about. Every detail was accounted for and her staff took care of everything. I enjoyed every minute of my wedding day because Paula and her staff had taken care of every detail ahead of time. Paula's list of vendors and contacts also connected us with exceptional service providers to make the day truly magical. Paula grows and develops her facility regularly as well; when we first booked the ceremony space, receiving area, and deck did not exist. Those were designed to support couples planning in new ways. Talk about a team dedicated to excellence.

Magical Experience

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and working with Paula was the best experience we could have asked for. She was so helpful for us and lead us in the right direction. The place looked magical when we arrived on the day of the wedding and we are truly blessed to have had the opportunity to wed at Barnes' Place!!

Paul, Ernie and Staff make the wedding planning and wedding day the most fun and relaxing experiece I could have ever asked for as a Mother of the Bride! Professionsl, thorough and gorgeous venue for a complete package.
Paula helped us cross every T and dot every I twice and made sure all details were covered and followed through as my daughter and son-in-law had wished. They made the day stress free and completely enjoyable for the families, wedding party and guests.
The venue is georgous and adds so much natural beauty to the day in itsself. Mandy worked well with the florist to make the venue looked so beautiful!

Helpful, Gracious, Stunning

Paula and the team at the Barnes Place were phenomenal to work with. We gave her only a month’s notice and literally every single detail fell into place. The option to have a venue that has virtually any decor item for use is something I would recommend to any Bride! I wasn’t saddled with hundreds of votives or thousands of flowers, which was a tremendous blessing!! The one thing to mind is bringing your own plates, flatware, and cups, but we didn’t have too much of any of that leftover! The option for choosing your own caterer, too, helped us save THOUSANDS compared to other venues. I recommend this venue beyond what all of this amounts to express!

Barne’s Place made our wedding perfect

The venue was perfect for our wedding day! It gave our guests the option of being indoors or outdoors (which is important during a pandemic!). This allowed our guests to do their own thing and enjoy themselves longer. The entire property was beautiful and picture-perfect, always something new to explore or see. Paula was great to work with as she acted as not only our venue coordinator but at times wedding planner. She had great recommendations and made sure everything was perfect for our wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
