Want it to be perfect? Go with 1932!

I’ve had this venue booked for two years, as soon as I toured it I knew we were done searching. A stunning venue accompanied by an experienced team of professionals who never make you feel like a bother for having 1000 questions, I felt like I had a team holding my hand the whole time. Lori is responsive, incredibly helpful and intelligent, and knows exactly how to make your day one that you and your guests love! Hannah, our day of coordinator through 1932 was available all day, checked in on us regularly, and had the day running smooth as butter. You cannot go wrong with 1932 barn, and I’m so grateful for everyone!

best night ever

We had our wedding at 1932 Barn in May, and it was magical. Our priority was to gather all of our favorite people in the same place, and to throw a huge party, but we didn't give much thought to the details. When we went into the planning process, we didn't have any interest in flowers, table settings, etc. Lori and her team filled in ALL of the blanks for us. The entire process and night was coordinated seamlessly (my guests kept commenting on how efficient the buffet line was and how much they liked having name tags on their cocktail glasses), allowing us to focus on each other and our guests.

Also, the venue is stunning. We had obviously visited to check it out initially, but were blown away when we arrived for our wedding. The venue is located on a working farm, so there were animals out at sunset (which our guests loved). For decorations, 1932 Barn has artificial florals which they'll arrange and clean up for you. I loved that this kept the entire event relatively low-waste.

I could go on forever- it truly was the best night. I'm sad it's over (maybe we'll come back for our 50th anniversary-lol). Thank you so much Lori & team!

Rustic, Beautiful Barn Venue with GREAT people!!

I cannot say enough great things about the 1932 Barn as a wedding venue! Leading up to the wedding, the team was there to answer any question that I had and would go above and beyond in checking to make sure I was on track with planning. They even include decor and design in their cost which was so helpful because I didn't even know where to start!

The day of our wedding it poured rain all morning. Hannah and Margo kept me posted on the plan and continuously checked the radar to see when the rain would let up. The rain stopped right before our ceremony and the venue team went out and wiped off all the seating and left umbrellas close in case it started again. To me, that meant the world. They knew people pick their venue to try to be outside and were willing to do all they could to get us out there. It ended up not raining the remainder of the night so everything was perfect:)

Overall, our day was perfect in every way and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing and our guests are still talking about how perfect everything was which is all thanks to the venue team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Not to mention they work to help us as photographers to ensure that we have everything we need to capture all our perfect shots. The venue is BEAUTIFUL with endless possibilities for photos.

From the second I drove up to this location I was IN LOVE and not just with the property. Lori and her family are amazing, warm, welcoming people. They truly love serving people and it shows with their generosity. I have worked with many venue owners and Lori is by far my favorite. She is so accommodating and willing to do anything to please her couples. Plus they have a design center where you get to pick out your decore. It's like a real live Pinterest.
