Best venue ever

Where to even start---The Barn at Glistening Pond is the most incredible venue, and their team is second to none. We reached out in Summer of 2019 for a September 2020 wedding--which we then had to postpone because of the C-word and Denise never batted an eye. As our new date, of October 17, got closer Denise was super helpful and attentive to all of our questions and requests. And this was all before the wedding even happened. On WEDDING DAY, Denise and her team were on top of EVERYTHING, making sure the day went smoothly from the first moment of setting up. At night, DJ took over as venue coordinator and he continued to ensure that our day and night went as amazing as possible (he even pulled out all the stop and managed to produce a showstopping double rainbow)! NOW, let's talk about the venue. STUNNING--SIMPLY STUNNING, and they have everything that you could possibly need to decorate the barn to make it just as you want. Run, don't walk to the Barn at Glistening Pond. I promise you will not be disappointed.

The Perfect Evening

I don't know what to say about this place that hasn't already been said. The property is beautiful, the ceremony and reception barns are amazing, and the staff are just so easy to work with. They really make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. Anything that you might need for a beautiful rustic style wedding can be borrowed from their storage on site. All of our guests raved about how amazing the venue was. I can't recommend this place enough.

June 2021 wedding

The barn is the best venue ever! My guests all said it was the prettiest venue they've seen. There is space for a huge dance floor and outdoor spaces to hang out for anyone who does not want to dance. We even had space for yard games! DJ, Denise, and Michelle were absolutely amazing, sweetest people ever! They all were so helpful before, during, and after the wedding. Highly recommend the barn!!
