Stunning Venue, amazing service

Mary (the owner of Bowood barn) is AMAZING!! She is so dedicated to her brides and felt like family throughout the entire planning process. We had to deal with COVID and military changes and she was SO accommodating every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better venue. Bowood is so stunning on its own and Mary is open to all idea for decorations. She even offered to make some custom decorations for us. The venue comes with tables, chairs (reception and ceremony), as well as a built in bar with running water, and SO MANY DECORATIONS that she has been gifted from past weddings. She has everything including lanterns, mason jars, yard games, faux flowers, slabs of wood for centerpieces, signs, metal tubs, a claw foot bathtub and SO MUCH MORE. There is now a beautiful donut wall which goes along with her dark wood farmhouse table. Mary made sure the venue was clean and all the tables and chairs were lined up exactly where I wanted them when I came to decorate the day before my wedding: ** BONUS** you get the venue for the whole weekend which makes decorating and setting up/cleaning up so easy. She even helped put up decoration where I wanted them and drapery along the rafters. She was a delight to work with and had so many fun ideas. She was available throughout the entire planning process and the day of. She made sure they bathrooms were cleaned and the grounds surrounding Bowood perfect. I could not have asked for a better, more accommodating venue. Please book this venue, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing!

We just got married on 09-05-2020, and it was the best day we could ever ask for! The venue was so nice and the owner/staff were the best, most easiest people to work with! Definitely someone you grow a lifelong relationship with and not just a one time experience and forget about it. We couldnt have asked for any better out of our experience!!!

Our daughter's wedding at Bowood Barn

We selected Bowood Barn for our daughter’s wedding. A beautiful venue for a country wedding. Loved everything about Bowood Farm. The "Bridal Suite" was a great place for the girls to get ready. The "Barn" was enjoyed by the men to prepare. All the guest were very complimentary of the decorations and location where we had drinks and hor'dourves/food. The Arbor was beautiful for the Ceremony and later the Dance was in the Barn. Best of all, we had a gorgeous wedding in June with a small shower and beautiful rainbow. I highly recommend this facility, Jenna provided us the best service and recommendations. They are very accommodating and devoted to making your special day perfect.

Spectacular, wonderful, awesome, beautiful, amazing people, everything one would want and more!
I just got married there Saturday and there really are not enough words to explain just how beautiful it really was, I mean the barn and place itself is great, but when you add your own touch to it, its jaw dropping!
Mary and Micha are wonderful people and will bend over backwards to help you in any way they can.
this is the best place to have your wedding, trust me I looked for about a year, and soon as I went down the driveway I knew this was the place.
My husband and I highly recommend this venue for your wedding, hands down
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
