The Barn at Shady Lane is perfect for any bride because the space is so versatile. They have such a great venue to host indoor and/or outdoor events. Our wedding day ended up being cold and rainy, but it didn’t matter because the indoor space was perfect for accommodating our guests. We loved that there was a bridal suite, but also an entire house on the property for the groomsmen to hang out in. The space is completely handicapped accessible, which was very important to us. There are so many great places on the property to take photos, even if it’s raining! The cherry on top of everything is the couple that owns the venue. Michael and Linda Adler were such a pleasure to work with, and they were so accommodating. They are so organized and have “the flip” down to a science. We are so glad we’re a Shady Lane Couple!

Extremely friendly people and so clean and organized!!
Our daughter was married this weekend at “The Barn at Shadey Lane” and the first person who welcomed me was the owner Michael . His joyful smile was a warm welcome and his fist words were “ welcome! We are here to help.. just let us know what we can do…”And he went back to making sure it was a magical place. His wife -Linda is so happy and helpful and I when I explained my husband is in a wheelchair she was all about making sure he was going to be comfortable. It was a beautiful evening with lots of celebrating and this is a venue I will talk about for years to come!!

The Perfect Setting
Easy to reserve this venue. Linda provided clear communication through the year and we had access all day to setup and prepare. Comfortably accommodated 120 guests. Grooms cottage is large. Bridal suite is cozy.

Daughter’s Wedding
The Barn at Shady Lane exceeded all my expectations. Linda never made me feel like I was calling too much asking questions, and I really appreciated that. The flip was a huge success. And she told me beforehand that even though it was a July wedding, they had air conditioning that would keep us comfortable. I have to admit that I doubted, but she was right. Thank you Linda and staff of The Barn at Shady Lane!

The Barn at Shady Lane is the best!
We couldn't be happier that we chose The Barn at Shady Lane for our daughter's wedding reception! From the first contact we had with them, until the end of the reception, Linda and her team were great to work with. It. is so evident that Linda loves what she does and genuinely gets so excited about your event. We had a large wedding and the space was more than accommodating for the reception. Every space is so thought out and perfect - from the bride's loft to the groom's cottage, the space for catering, the bar area, the porches, and especially the beautiful outside areas for perfect sunset pictures, The Barn at Shady Lane has it all. We couldn't recommend it higher!

Positively Perfect in Every Way!
Shady Lane is THE place you want to book for your wedding. Michael, Linda, and the rest of their team do it right and do it perfectly every time. They have created amazing spaces for ceremonies, receptions, and photo opportunities. The Bride's loft and Groom's cottage are the perfect spaces for preparing for your wedding day and are beautifully appointed. I cannot say enough good things about Shady Lane.

The Barn at Shady Lane is absolutely wonderful
We couldn’t think of a better place to have gotten married. The Barn at Shady Lane was absolutely wonderful! The Adlers were a dream to work with and the venue is beautiful. The areas to get ready were spacious, and they did a wonderful job quickly flipping the room between the ceremony and reception. The Barn at Shady Lane will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Mrs. Linda Adler was such a pleasure to work with and was so helpful with the decision-making process, even though the bride & groom lived all the way in Texas! I would recommend this venue to anyone!
