Words cannot describe how intimate and beautiful The Barn at Valhalla is. We wanted a venue where our friends and families could come together, spend time, and join us for more than just few hours and that is exactly what The Barn provides.

We had our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening followed by pretty much everything from enjoying some quiet time near the fire or down at the Gazebo to playing games of pool, darts, ping pong, and poker in the game room. Saturday was our wedding and it could not have been more perfect.

Marguerite and her team were so responsive and helped us with anything and everything that we needed up until hours before our wedding. Whenever we had questions we received a response within a few hours but it was usually within the hour! We visited the venue four times during our planning and each time we arrived it was even more breathtaking. Our wedding was almost a week ago and we are still receiving calls and texts of how amazing it was!! Pictures and words do not do The Barn at Valhalla justice, I assure you if you go and visit you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for everything Marguerite!!

The Barn at Valhalla was my DREAM wedding venue. We got married at the peak of the autumn color change (end of October), and the gorgeous reds, yellows and oranges made our wedding simply magical. We had our ceremony on the hearth deck, shaded by the golden leaves of the property’s little forest. The cocktail hour was held in the lodge and on the wrap-around deck, our dinner was in a tent outside the barn, and dancing was in the barn. We loved how dynamic the property was; we felt that the guests could never get bored, as they were constantly seeing different parts of the property, and they were always free to roam around. Our guests RAVED about how beautiful the venue was.

The buildings are rustic but refurbished and well-maintained. The minute you enter the barn, you are engulfed by the rich smell of wood! Marguerite has struck the balance between elegance and coziness; the drapery and chandeliers are gorgeous and elevating, but there is also a humble and homey feeling to the space. We were so privileged to be able to stay there all weekend—not only did this give us the chance to set up the venue the way we wanted, but we had the opportunity to really bond with family and friends over the course of the weekend. Not to mention that the honeymoon suite is absolutely gorgeous, with an enormous walk-in shower (with three shower heads!), private hot tub and sitting room with piano, and plenty of closet space!

I cannot sing Marguerite’s praises enough. From day one, she was extremely flexible and committed to helping us execute our vision. It was clear throughout the process that her number one goal was to help us have an amazing weekend. On the day of the wedding, we had a total of 12 different vendors, plated meals for nearly 100 guests, and many decorations brought from home. She juggled it all, and I did not have to worry about a thing. She was so organized and confident, and she set everything up perfectly. She was available at all hours to help us with anything that we needed, and we were so grateful for all her support.

No venue is perfect, so here are some considerations that we wished we’d been aware of ahead of time: If you want a band for the reception, you will likely have to rent a separate tent for the dinner (the small tent for ~100 people ended up costing us about $3000); this also means that the band would play after dinner because the tent is not contiguous with the barn. Also, although the tables and chairs do come with the venue, you will have to rent all your tablecloths/tableware/catering items separately. Marguerite has a good selection of items for much cheaper than you would get from a rental company, and she will set up a design appointment with you to go through the options, but I wish I had been aware of this additional expense. In addition, as much as I love Marguerite and wish that she could be everywhere at once, her constant dedication to making every wedding great can often lead to slow response times during the planning process. I think that she could probably benefit from having an assistant coordinator. I can’t imagine doing everything that she does on her own, but she does make it work!

In the end, these were only minor considerations, and I am so grateful to have gotten married at the Barn at Valhalla. Thanks to Marguerite and her team, I had one of the best days of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

The Barn at Vahalla was the perfect venue to get married at. My husband and I wanted a woodsy/fairytale vibe for our wedding and that’s exactly what we got here! Marguerite and her team did an amazing job at setting up and directing the flow for our wedding. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place! Marguerite is also so so so nice! She made planning the event super fun and easy.
