Perfectly magical wedding venue

We loved everything about this venue and setting for our mountain wedding. We used the Pavilion location and opted for DIY decorations. The venue was beautifully rustic and perfect for our intimate wedding party. The staff were very helpful and professional. We visit often and will be back again soon!

November 30, 2019 Wedding

We chose to hold our ceremony and reception at the Barn at Lydia and I do not regret it one bit! Up until a couple of days out, we had planned on having our ceremony outside in the field then have the reception in the barn. However, the weather forecast was calling for rain through the day, so, we decided to have both events in the barn. I admit, I was skeptical at first about it, but the barn had ample room to have the aisle, tables, the bar and cocktail area, music, the wedding party, and chairs for the immediate family to sit up front, plus some! My mother decided to rent out the guest house directly in front of the barn for us girls to stay at the night before the wedding, for the guys to meet and get ready at, and for Tyler and I to come back to after the final send off. That was a great idea! The girls and I had breakfast in the kitchen of the barn the morning of, finished the little details, and headed to the upstairs area of the barn (the game room) and got ready up there. It worked out perfectly because I entered from the hall, and the opening of the barn door was the dramatic touch that added to the day. Tiffany was so great to work with from the day we decided on the barn to the big day itself. I would definitely recommend Lydia’s to anyone I know.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
