Beautiful Wedding Venue

This barn is so beautiful! We will forever be able to look back on our wedding photos and be amazed at how amazing our wedding was in this barn!

First off, I’m not the kind of person to leave bad reviews. I have worked in retail for 4 years and I understand the frustrations of dealing with upset customers but my experience has been absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. I rented their barn for my wedding on 8/11/2018. From the get go I was having problems with miscommunication with the staff. First, I was told and given information to rent the Cooper Barn for $1500 for 3 days. They reserved my day and I just had to send them a deposit. My deposit didn’t make it to them until after the first of the year and they decided that I would have to pay the new year price of $2000, even though all of my communication about renting was prior to 2018. I let it go when they informed me that I would be receiving a $500 refund when the barn was cleaned and returned to them in clean condition, which we did and I have video proof of cleanliness (which we left cleaner than the way we received it). Now, they are saying I never paid the refundable $500 even though I have a receipt that states I paid my balance. I have been emailing the chair head, Mike Baughn, I he said he would get back to me after talking to the board, which was over 2 weeks ago and I have heard nothing. The place is beautiful and my wedding was gorgeous but I don’t recommend coming here unless you want to deal with a head ache.

Got the feeling the event planner was "too good" to be there and that she had better things she could be doing.
