The Ditschler’s wedding weekend

Mark and the venue were amazing! He was so helpful and accommodating. Mark was very transparent with pricing and met all of our budget needs. The space was beautifully maintained. So many amazing options to make it unique and our own. The Barn at French Mountain is such a fabulous place for a wedding! We fell in love the second we saw it and loved it more and more each time we stopped by to meet with Mark. All of our guests loved all of the details Mark helped us add to our wedding like our special voice recordings. From the moment we met Mark 14 months ago until the day after the wedding when we were cleaning up, Mark was there to support us every step of the way. We would recommend The Barn at French Mountain and Mark 1000 times over!!

Absolutely Perfect!!

We had such a wonderful experience.Mark was so accommodating and easy to work with. It was such a relief to have Mark helping with the planning, set up and day of coordination. We decided on a small microwedding and I thought I would lose the idea of having a coordinator to help with the details but I was pleasantly surprised with how attentive Mark was. The venue was perfect and we could not have asked for more. I could not recommend The Barn at French Mountain or Mark enough.

Literally amazing look no further for a venue!

Our wedding at The Barn at French Mountain was more than we could have hoped for. The venue itself is breathtaking and basically comes pre-decorated, so all you need to do is add your own personal touch. There’s no need to buy a million string lights because they’ve already got you covered. The space is huge, gorgeous, and so well designed. Everyone was raving about how beautiful it was all night.The layout is perfect as is, but it’s also flexible, so you can customize it however you want. And then there’s Mark. I’ve known him since my family moved to the area in 2012 and have even worked with him DJ events as an emcee and party motivator. From seeing how he operates back then and through the years, I knew he’d be the one to do my wedding someday, and I’m so happy it worked out that by the time I got married, he happened to have our dream venue!! Mark is incredible to work with. He listens, he cares, and he makes everything feel easy. He never pushes you to do something just because it’s tradition. Instead, he gives thoughtful suggestions, explains pros and cons, and helps you bring your vision to life. He will do whatever it takes to make your day exactly how you want it. He’ll think of things you hadn’t even thought of!! If you’re looking for a stunning venue and a coordinator who truly goes above and beyond, The Barn at French Mountain is the place. WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW AWESOME IT WAS LOL SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

Perfect epic wedding

We had our wedding at the barn at French mountain at the end of August. The venue was beautiful and so affordable. We had mark help us with so much from the beginning of planning until the end of the wedding. He made the process so easy and stress free. Was always around to answer questions quickly and throughly. He wasn’t just our venue manager, he was our officiant, our host, and helped coordinate with catering and helped our photographer. He did it all with a smile and we are so grateful for him. The venue also had so many locations to have the ceremony and many locations for photo opportunities. We also used there DJ mike, who did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor, taking request and making it such a fun night! They also have a caterer JJ who was also amazing and made the whole experience easy. Allowed us to taste test food for not only our wedding day but also for our rehearsal dinner. He made it so easy to choose how we wanted our tables set up along with choosing linens. The whole staff and crew took weight off our shoulders and made the wedding planning process so easy and we would recommend to anyone and everyone not only for weddings but any event and we can’t thank them enough for helping make our perfect epic wedding.

10/10 Experience!

We had the most incredible wedding day, and we are beyond grateful to both our amazing officiant, Mark, and our stunning venue, the Barn at French Mountain.
Despite a change in original plans, Mark was absolutely exceptional. From our very first conversation, he made us feel comfortable and truly listened to our vision for our special day. He took time out of his busy weekend, where he was also putting on an entire music festival, to create a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and full of warmth. So many of our guests told us how meaningful and memorable the ceremony was. We truly appreciate Mark for his thoughtful words and calming presence.
The Barn at French Mountain was everything we hoped for and more. The rustic charm, beautiful mountain backdrop, and cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting for our celebration. The caterer, John, was incredibly accommodating and attentive, making the day itself run flawlessly. The entire venue felt magical, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.
We are so grateful to both Mark and the staff at the Barn at French Mountain for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. Highly, highly recommend!

August Wedding, Mark is Great! 😌

My wife and I got married in August. Mark did an amazing job from answering back our email after email and answering all questions that came up, being flexible with meetings for us to see the venue as well as setting up for the big day, and down to helping solve small problems that came about on the day of. (I forgot my flower petals and lost my flower girl) and I pushed back the start time a little so he’s very flexible on what I was asking or needed. He also did a beautiful job with the arch and had used the flower that were left from a previous wedding. He was so great being attentive to our needs in the early hours before the ceremony. After the ceremony before we took off to do photos before meeting our guests he met us with the golf cart and our drinks! Was an absolutely stunning day i couldn’t have asked for better!

Wedding of our dreams

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more thanks to Mark, his incredible team & the gorgeous barn! Started with easy appointment making, letting us come and set up days prior on our days off & great communication. Mark going above and beyond to make sure the heat worked, being our officant, our planner & helping us pick Epic our DJ with Mike and Jacque, absolutely incredible! The ceremony was a dream come true, my dad's voice recording who is no longer with us made it extra special thanks to Mark & our Djs! So many moments throughout the night that made it special from the DJs added cannons, they made sure we had one big group photo which I wouldnt have thought of but am so grateful for. Can't forget to mention the beautiful wooden peice Mark made us with our names and wedding date! But What I loved the most was the recording of the night that I had no idea was even happening, before the night was over Mark and our DJ crew sat us down surrounded by loved ones and showed us the recap video of the night they had put together & had me in absolute tears it was so beautiful!😭 The venue itself is just gorgeous and with our Christmas lights and trees it really came together absolutely perfect. I am beyond thrilled that we went with Mark's suggestion on EPIC for our DJ I couldn't have dreamt of a better night, everyone was happy, dancing & all the special suprises were just incredible If you are planning your wedding I HIGHLY recommend using Mark All we do is Epic, Mike & Jacque you will not regret it!

A Dream Wedding Come True!

To start,
The setting of this venue is absolutely amazing! From the beautiful mountain view’s to the western town setting, this venue has a vibe that simply no others can ever match. It’s extremely neat, well organized and its staff is above all the best. Mark is the head organizer and helped us greatly start to finish. No matter what crazy ideas we came up with he made sure to let a dream become a reality without hesitation. Katelin was also a big help during the wedding day when it came to organizing. This venue has almost everything you would need on site from bunkhouse rental for bridal party and couples, the saloon for a awesome rehearsal dinner to just a huge amount of space for people to spread out and be comfortable. If anyone is looking for a modern western wedding be sure to check this place out. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you very much!
