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!

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.
