Great venue and Ruth and her employees were fantastic!

Ruth and her employees did an amazing job on my wedding day! They set everything up and even gave me suggestions on where to put all the decorations I brought! They cleaned up everything as well. The food was delicious! Also she provided a vendor list, which helped me pick all my vendors! I highly recommend going to The Barn at Boone’s Dam for your special day!

The Perfect Place!

My husband and I could not have had a better experience at the Barn at Boones Dam. We have been to both my sisters and sister-in-laws weddings here, and never once had a poor experience. Ruth made sure our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish, and Pat’s cooking had our guests going back for thirds. Our friends and family raved about the venue and how accommodating the space and staff were. We ended the night dancing outside, and could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our love!!

Perfect Venue ✨

My husband and I had a perfect wedding at the Barn at Boones Dam. We booked this venue two years out. Our family and friends loved how accommodating the venue is. We had gorgeous weather during the day for the ceremony and dinner. We enjoyed our evening dancing inside of the barn along with dessert. The pizza truck is a beautiful essential to the property. Pat is an amazing cook and everyone LOVED the food. Ruth is so sweet and honest. She helped with so many details. Communication and services 10/10!!! We are still in awe of our wedding and can’t wait to be back in the summer for my brother’s and future sister-in- laws wedding!

Beautiful Wedding Day!

Ruth and her entire team at the Barn at Boone’s Dam made our wedding day what we imagined and more! Ruth is truly amazing, from all the emails and sit down meetings, helping us decide what the best and latest trends were, to the day of, sending the bridesmaids off down the aisle and keeping the groomsmen out of trouble! She made our day run so smooth! The food and cupcakes were so delicious! Highly highly recommend, Ruth and Patrick, and the Barn at Boone’s Dam!

Not a Hitch while getting Hitched!

My wife and I cannot begin to thank Ruth and her staff enough for the perfect day they gave us. The venue was pristine, and every detail we discussed with Ruth prior to the fact went off so smoothly. The food is AMAZING. Ruth's communication, calm demeanor, and experience helped my wife and I get through any stress we felt, and we will always be grateful for the memories they gave us!

Wedding, Reception, Rehersal Dinner Venue

11/4/23 Bride here! We had our rehearsal dinner as well as our wedding ceremony and reception all at the venue location and we could not have been more pleased with the accommodation's and overall outcome of all events! The owner Ruth and her husband are not only both chefs, but Ruth was awesome to work with, especially if you appreciate someone who is able to keep the show running smoothly while the Bride slightly delays the ceremony due to a small panic attack! Her and the staff took incredible care of myself/Groom, both Bride/Groom parties and all of the guests through all 3 events! Planning was a breeze and she truly makes your vision come to life! The best part about this venue is that it’s already gorgeous as is, and we felt that we did not have to focus heavily on additional decor; Ruth worked with us closely to ensure our theme and colors perfectly tied together with the natural beauty of the venue; I felt so comfortable with Ruth that I gave her full reigns on any additional decor we brought, for her to place where it looked best, and she delivered flawlessly. We continue to received tons of compliments on the food, dessert, venue, overall service and more! Highly recommend as a venue that adapts to all your needs and brings your vision to life!
