The Barn at Shady Grove is the best wedding venue around. Ken and Shannon, the owners of the venue, are truly remarkable. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel like family. The two of them truly want your day to be as special as you do. You can’t go wrong with this venue, whether you want an outdoor wedding under the beautiful pergola surrounded by nature or indoors under the mesmerizing chandelier. This venue truly offers it all— a bridal cottage for you and your girls to get ready in, a grooms cabin for you and your boys to hang out and play pool, indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, the best DJ ever, plenty of parking, lots of vendor recommendations, and the list goes on and on. You will not regret booking with Ken and Shannon at The Barn at Shady Grove!

Dream Day come to life

A gorgeous venue with amazing owners (Shannon and Ken) that take care if you as if you are family. They care about your “dream” day and make it happen flawlessly. My Son and Daughter-in-Love had such a beautiful experience.
The Barn boasts an inviting exterior with tables and chairs set up for conversation and beautiful views of the property. As you enter the barn, you're greeted with beautiful ambience lighting from the biggest, most beautiful chandelier i’ve ever seen and music playing which gives a calm feeling with a rustic simplicity. Shannon and Ken offer so many extras! There are two houses on the property…a bride’s house and a groom’s house. These are for the wedding party to relax in and get ready for the day. Simply amazing. Meeting with Shannon was informative and absolutely no pressure. She provided so much information from the venue to the vendors. Also, Ken DJ’s and is happy to do this for you as an extra! This venue is completely amazing! The bride, groom, AND family were pampered for the day. I never thought a wedding would happen without stress and drama but thats the gift of choosing this venue. It was a beautiful drama-free and stress-free day.
Thank you for a beautiful experience.
