Great venue, wonderful owners

Pond View is an amazing wedding venue. The location and set up are stunning, the price is extremely reasonable for the value, but what really makes it stand out is the owners Barb and Randy. They are so sweet and helpful, and they know how to make their venue everything you want it to be. They are incredibly flexible, generous, and understanding during the stresses of planning the wedding. We would recommend Pond View to anyone looking for a place to hold their perfect day!

Best Day Ever with the Best People

Pond View Barn was everything we had wanted in a venue! The venue owners are super accommodating and so kind! They treated us like we were one of their own and did not have to worry about anything leading up to our special day. They asked questions ahead of time and helped take everything down at the end of the night. Besides the gorgeous venue and kind people, I loved that they had all of the tables and chairs there, and plenty of decorations/table clothes so we didn’t really have to bring a whole lot. Pond View will forever hold a special place in my heart!❤️

Pond View Barn!

Randy and Barb were amazing to work with at Pond View Barn. Their remodeled barn and acreage are nothing short of amazing! My husband and I couldn't thank Pond View Barn enough for the wonderful location and friendly and welcoming atmosphere! They're truly great at what they do! The sweetest edition to Pond View Barn is their new pup, Sammy. She's a true sweetheart and you'll fall in love with her!

Incredible place for a significant event

Barb and Randy are amazing. What a gorgeous property they have and how incredible that they are willing, through hard work, to share this space with others. Our son was married at Pond View Barn and we had the most excellent experience. The grounds are amazing, not only the natural beauty, but the facilities are superb! We especially enjoyed the area for the bride and her people to get ready for the big day. Barb and Randy could not be more accommodating and helpful in all regards while maintaining a chill and cheery, can-do, attitude. They really know their audience and are there to provide a beautiful experience for you. We were so pleased with our time spent on their lovely property.

Randy and Barb were rockstars!

Great to work with and helped with set up and tear down. Lots of behind the scenes work to help everything run smooth. Super easy to work with and make our vision become reality. The have lots of options to do lots of different and unique things. Laid back and not as strict as a lot of the other wedding venues. Very rustic and county / outdoors feel.

Best wedding venue

Barb and Randy own the venue and they are the sweetest people. They are very helpful with any questions I had and allowed me to go to the venue a month prior to figure out how I was going to set up tables. The bridal suite so nice and spacious. They have golf carts to take guests to the ceremony location and the barn which was very nice especially for my grandma. Multiple guests have told me how pretty the venue was since our wedding. I would highly recommend!

Barb and Randy are awesome hosts and very willing to work with whatever you want. The venue is beautiful!!! Great to have the place on Friday too!

Barb and Randy were very flexible when we needed to adjust a couple things in order to wait out rain to have our outdoor ceremony. They had towels ready to wipe down chairs and helped give the bride exactly what she wanted for an outdoor ceremony on a day that the weather didn't cooperate as well! The venue had many beautiful things already in place to make decorating so much easier. Having the day on Friday to get ready made the wedding day less stressful and more enjoyable. The place where the girls got ready was beautiful, spacious and a great gathering spot for the bride and her girls. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding!
