Alexander Wedding 11/30/24

We had the most amazing experience at Cottonwood Barn at Seward Farms! From start to finish, everything about the venue made our wedding day truly magical. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. The barn itself is absolutely stunning—rustic charm paired with beautiful, well-kept grounds that created the perfect backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. Every detail, from the lighting to the landscaping, was picture-perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day! Highly recommend to any couple looking for a beautiful and seamless wedding venue.

Wedding Reception

Cottonwood Barn is what dreams are made of! My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception here. The staff is nothing short of amazing and professional. They communicate quickly and efficiently to answer any questions that you have. They went above and beyond to make their day amazing. The venue is stunning and the outside views are equally amazing for pictures. We couldn’t be more happy that we chose Cottonwood Barn for their special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
