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!

Spectacular Wedding Venue!

We had an amazing experience using Pond View as our wedding venue! Planning can get stressful at times, but Barb and Randy made it so easy for us. They allowed us to come out several times throughout the year to see the space and make plans. The property itself is beautiful and the barn is absolutely stunning. There are so many unique places for wedding photos, you can choose where to have your ceremony on site, AND they have a lot of decorations available for you to use if you would like.

On top of that, Barb and Randy go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is as perfect as it can be. We had some issues with rain leading up to our wedding, and they kept an eye on the weather report all week long to make sure we knew what all of our options were as the day got close. They were on site all weekend long and were more than happy to help with anything. They even stepped in to help the caterers when our dinner went long and they had to pack up and leave before we were finished!

I would highly recommend Pond View to anybody looking for a rustic and romantic venue for their wedding!
