As my title says, I never thought I would get married in a barn and I certainly didn’t expect the wedding to be my dream. Karen and Cross Keys Barn both exceeded my expectations and made my dream wedding come true.

We had opted for a micro wedding of 60 people or less. That gave us 10 hours at the venue on Saturday. We also opted to have 4 hours of decorating the day before. Those 4 hours on Friday were necessary. Our wedding coordinator didn’t come to the rehearsal (had another wedding) and we would have been absolutely lost if it weren’t for Karen. She stepped in multiple times to help us with the ceremony and if it weren’t for her, it wouldn’t have been flawless like it was.

I cannot say enough about this venue. It’s beautiful and has all the lighting, tables, seats, and fans you could need. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Karen. Thank you for helping us create our dream come true!

My husband and I got married at Cross Keys Barn on October 1, 2022. The barn is absolutely beautiful! Everything was clean and fresh and the grounds were kept and maintained extremely well. The barn offers a beautiful view of the Massanutten peak. It rained on our wedding day, but there were two backup locations for the ceremony that we were prepared for and still offered a cute and cozy vibe. It was a pleasure working with Karen over the past year. She was very informative and offered a lot of ideas and suggestions for things we hadn’t even thought about (we weren’t working with a wedding planner, so we were new to all of this!). You can tell Karen has been in the business for a while and is passionate about what she does. During the rehearsal and ceremony Karen and her husband were extremely helpful with the setup and ensuring that we had everything we needed. Karen even shared her own pictures that she had taken during the ceremony with us, which was really nice! From the beginning, Karen was clear with her expectations of us and our guests. As with anywhere, there are certain rules that must be followed and this is for the protection of the venue and its licenses. We had no problems with her expectations and appreciated her transparency. The night went off with no problems - maybe a reminder here and there of certain rules, but my husband and I along with all of our guests had a great time! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a barn vibe with a nice view. The price was reasonable and Karen allowed us to come by anytime we needed during the planning process if we needed to get another look (we just needed to coordinate a time with her, of course). Some family members even stopped by unannounced a few times, and Karen welcomed them in to take a look around! We can’t wait to return to the venue in the future to take some family photos with the view!

This venue is absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a rustic/barn wedding this is your place. Both the inside and outside are beautiful and make for a beautiful wedding. The venue owners are very responsive, professional and were so helpful day of. I couldn't recommend this location enough!
