Once in a lifetime experience!

Once in a lifetime kind of day and it was 100% thanks to Kari, her family, staff, and amazing vendors! My Husband and I couldn't have had a more perfect day. Kari goes above and beyond in every sense of the phrase. The venue is a dream! So many photo location spots, beautifully kept, clean, and so many options for different set ups! I will continue to recommend Best View Barn to everyone I know and love.

Exceeded any expectation I thought I had

I’m not entirely sure where to start with this review because everything exceeded any expectation I had in my head for my wedding. We had looked at one location prior to pulling up to the Best View Barn. I vividly remember looking at my, then fiancé, and before the van stopped, we knew then! [we booked it that week!] Just the property itself sold us, but then we met Kari and we knew we had easily found our venue! The owners, the staff, the views, everything was just perfect. The rolling hills, the immaculately cut grass lines, the landscaping [AND THEIR NEW WATERFALL!], the windmills on the backdrop mountains – picture perfect, and not to mention the perfect Red Barn! The inside is beautiful and the bathrooms were huge! They kept the rustic look and feel while making it manageable for all guests – we really loved how they didn’t remodel and “redo” the inside to make it more modern – part of what sold us was the original barn look! Our guests (and even those that just saw pictures online) continue to ask where this venue is and for their website. I recommend this place to everyone I talk too – I just wish we could hold another event there someday! I hope others choose this venue, because trust me, it will exceed all of your expectations. The price was definitely reasonable at first glance – then with all of the help from Kari and her family – it was well worth it. Let me also add in, they offer a small price to clean up for you! All we had to do was pick it up the next day, that alone took so much stress off of us!! Kari was very upfront with the rules of the property, which we loved – and was ALWAYS willing to answer my weird questions, over the 20 months we planned this! She was there for us and we could tell – she wanted us to have the perfect day – which is exactly what we had. Kari’s husband and father were equally amazing and friendly, and the bartenders were so friendly – I felt like they were there as guests – as did my guests! Everyone was comfortable with each other, communicative, and honest – what else could you ask for? We had no idea how to plan or what to even ask – Kari helped us achieve the perfect wedding day that we will never forget. We’re so happy with everything and are so lucky to have left with new friends!

Wedding Day

Best View Barn’s name says it all! The view and the venue itself is truly beautiful. Kari was super helpful throughout all the various stages of planning (and postponing and re-planning) a wedding! I had a million and one questions throughout the process and she was quick to respond with an answer; always putting my mind at ease.

The morning of the wedding she was a life saver! She was running around all over the place to make sure we had everything we needed and tying up all the loose ends! She ensured me she would handle everything and that’s exactly what she did! Our wedding day day was the the best day ever! 💕

Such a beautiful venue

Best view barn is hands down one of the most beautiful venues in CNY! All the planning was super smooth and easy and Kari was always helpful and quick to respond to any question. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her the day of the wedding! Everything went so smooth and she was there to help with any little (and big) thing all day long!

Best View Barn for the Best Day Ever!

Getting married at Best View Barn was the absolute best decision we made when it came to our wedding. We knew before even taking a tour that Best View Barn was it, and I’m so glad we were able to have the best day of our lives at such a beautiful setting. Everything I could have dreamed of came true, and Kari made every step of the process, especially the wedding day, absolutely perfect. Kari was wonderful to work with, and everyone involved in the wedding agreed. She made sure to accommodate every request, was a great communicator throughout the process, and helped to put my mind at ease so I could just get married without worrying about a single thing. Being able to trust that she would make everything run smoothly was essential when getting married in a pandemic, and she helped to make it the best day ever even though it looked different than what we originally planned. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else, and I would highly recommend Best View Barn if you’re looked for a classic, elegant barn setting for your wedding day.

There is a reason why this place is called THE BEST VIEW!

My husband and I got married in July of 2019. This has taken us so long to write because we have wayyy too many amazing things to say about this venue. First, we could have not asked for a better wedding coordinator. Kari is absolutely amazing! She responded promptly to our many emails, gave great advice on other vendors, kept me more calm on the big day, and made sure everything was set up beautifully. Her and her family have done so many beautiful upgrades to the barn and are still continuing to do this! This was the first barn that we looked at when searching for the right place. We knew right away that this was where we had to have it. One of the main reasons why we chose the Best View was that they had a plan B. Growing up in Central New York we knew that there would be a big chance of the weather not cooperating. We just so happened to be that lucky couple that got rain throughout our day. Thankfully, the Best View has an entire separate room of the barn to hold a ceremony. It was the last thing I had wanted to do, but I am so happy that we did it inside! 1: It ended up down-pouring during the ceremony 2: It was stunning inside (our pictures prove it). If you are looking for a rustic wedding in the Central New York area, you will not regret going with The Best View Barn. You will not regret it!!

Magical. Stunning. Breathtaking.

From the moment we meet Kari we knew we were in good hands. Kari is very precise, there are no surprises with her! Her organizational skills are exceptional. My questions were answered almost immediately. Kari's communication skills are personable and professional. Our day was perfect! Nick and I have been together 8 years this year. We have two beautiful children 6 & 2. We are so happy that our babies were able to witness such a magical day filled with so much love. The venue is breathtaking, our guests still rave about it! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! Our wedding day will forever be one of our favorites! A huge thanks to Kari and her family for all of their hard work!

Love,

Jerrica & Nicholas Williams

The best!

This is the first review I’ve EVER written - because Kari and her crew 100% deserve it. I was the typical nervous-about-everything/million questions bride and Kari calmed my nerves every step of the way (she is extremely organized!). The barn is just the cherry on top; the bridal suite, balcony for extra tables, large deck and the impressive lawn make for a really nice flow. HIGHLY recommend !!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
