Our Perfect Night

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Barn at Shady Grove. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and made the night feel magical. Shannon and Ken were a blessing to work with. They made the day move along with ease and were there to answer any questions we had along the way in the planning process. They had recommendations for all types of vendors, and the vendors they recommended that we chose to go with were excellent. Everyone worked well together and made for a flawless and seemingly effortless day. As a bride I felt no stress. I was able to relax and truly enjoy the evening, and this is mostly due to the help of Shannon and Ken. I absolutely recommend you choose this stunning venue if you have the chance. You will not regret it!

Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day

I can't say enough about these venue owners. Their commitment to their brides and to the wedding industry is top notch. As a mom of the bride and a wedding coordinator I was able to just be mom and have full confidence that Ken and Shannon would keep us on track. Their venue was beautiful and the perfect touch for my daughter's wedding theme.

The Perfect Venue for a Perfect Wedding

There are so many words to describe this venue but I will just say it is breathtaking and everything I could’ve dreamed for my wedding day! Ken & Shannon were such a huge help they pay so much attention to detail it made my day! They did everything possible to make sure I could have my wedding outdoors despite the little drizzles of rain and I’m forever thankful for them and this venue!
