Erin S. Married on 10/01/2022Gorgeous views and amazing team!
Aly and Orlin are amazing! From visiting the barn to signing a contract, it was a seamless process. Aly answered all of my questions quickly and was incredibly patient with me. She is a gem and we couldn't have done this without her! The barn and surrounding views are stunning! I loved everything about it. The mismatched tables and chairs matched my vision for modern vintage perfectly. Even though we were forced to pivot due to a thunderstorm, Aly and Orlin made sure it was still a beautiful and thoughtful experience. We will cherish our time at the barn for years to come!The Barn at Howard Creek Farm's reply:
Erin + Tyler! Thank you so much for choosing The Barn at Howard Creek Farm to host your wedding! We loved working with you both and loved meeting your friends and family! -

We hosted our wedding at The Barn at Howard Creek.
We LOVED getting married at The Barn at Howard Creek Farm! During our very first visit almost two years ago we immediately felt so comfortable there and like we had found the perfect place for our big day. Aly and her family are truly such amazing people and the barn/its surroundings are breathtaking. We also hired Aly as our day of coordinator and she was so terrific and made the whole experience so easy and wonderful. Above anything else at our wedding, our guests complimented the venue the most. Everyone really loved it.The Barn at Howard Creek Farm's reply:
