Amazing venue with an amazing team!

The Barn at Bennett Flats is an incredible venue! As a DIY bride, I was very worried how I was going to be able to set up everything, make sure the day was running properly, and still enjoy myself -- In comes Jessica! My husband and I knew from the second we met Jessica for a tour, that this is the place we wanted to get married! She was so helpful every time I had a silly question throughout the year of planning. She helped with so many small details on Saturday, that all I had to do was sit back and get married. The entire BBF staff is amazing & helped make our wedding day so special!!! We cannot thank them enough. We wish we could relive this day over and over again!

We had our reception and wedding at this venue. Everything was perfect!

Lauren and Jessica are amazing to work with and they will make sure that everything runs smoothly! The barn house is perfect for the bridesmaids to hang out and get ready in for the wedding. The venue itself is gorgeous and was perfect for our special day. Amazing staff and a beautiful place! Our day couldn’t have been more perfect because of them!

The most perfect day!

So thankful to the Barn at Bennett Flats for creating a perfect day! Everyone was so great to work with, and the wedding went perfectly. It also rained and so the entire wedding had to be moved inside. The transition from ceremony to reception went very well! So thankful we chose this venue!

10/10 Recommend


We loved having our wedding reception at the barn! Lauren was so helpful from the day we walked through to the day of the wedding. We could not have picked a better spot. The views are amazing and the barn is so beautiful on its own that you hardly need any other decorations. Would recommend it to anyone!

The Perfect Location

We are so thankful we decided to choose The Barn. From quick responses to checking in multiple times on the day of the wedding, Lauren and Jessica made sure we had everything we needed. They also provide succulents that make the cutest wedding favors. The Barn was the perfect venue! The Barn House and the groom’s cabin were amazing and made it so much easier to get everyone ready and have our wedding party close by. We are grateful that this venue is close by and so affordable!

Absolutely Perfect!

I recently rented the house at the Barn at Bennett Flats for our Varsity Cheerleader sleep over. I had 22 girls spend the night. There was so much room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The girls stated that they felt like they had been treated to a spa retreat! Everything was perfect from the patio, to the kitchen, to the luxurious bathrooms. All 22 cheerleaders had space to get ready for school the next morning! We definitely will do this again at this location! Thank you for such a wonderful time and helping us make treasured memories.
