Bonnie and her staff were incredible. From the time we booked the venue to our wedding day they kept in touch and helped keep things in order for us! The Cotton Gin was beautiful and everyone there made our day go so smoothly and easily! We received so many compliments on our choice of venue and wouldn’t have had our wedding celebration anywhere else!

My husband and I got married in November at Cotton Gin. We immediately fell in love with it when we went to visit and Bonnie spent an hour and a half showing us around the different parts of the farm. She was very thorough in helping us make a decision. The day of the event was amazing and the event staff was absolutely fantastic and took care of our guests in so many ways. Everything was beautiful and they have a room where you can borrow things that other brides have left behind (so happy we got to use the shepherd hooks). I would recommend this venue to anyone looking at it. We added on the bonfire and s'mores and we had ice cream at the ice cream shop. We got to use a lot of the farm for pictures and our guests had an amazing time getting to explore as well. Thank you to Bonnie, Jonna, and her staff for such a wonderful day and experience.

We had our wedding at The Cotton Gin last year and it was so beautiful! Everyone loved the grounds and I really appreciated how kid friendly it was, since most of our friends and a lot of relatives have young kids. The owners were really wonderful and let us come out to view everything several times as different family members would visit. It was so pretty, we really didn't even have to do much decorating. We were able to do the ceremony later in the day, since we weren't able to rehearse or decorate the day before, and it gave us plenty of time to set everything up. It was awesome that we got the venue for the whole day, so we were able to give ourselves plenty of time. They have TONS of decorations you can use to help keep costs down as well. There are so many awesome places to take pictures and all of our photography came out beautifully. My favorite wedding party picture is in their corn field right at sunset, so pretty.
The train is amazing! We took some beautiful couple pictures in it right after it had been renovated and people always love the pictures from there. I just really cannot say enough about how beautiful the farm is.
The only complaint I had is a lot of guests kept going in to the bathroom where the wedding party gets ready because they couldn't find the public bathroom. It's not their fault some of our guests were clueless, but maybe they could put up some signs that say wedding party only? It doesn't really matter though, everything else was amazing.
They also gave us some really great recommendations for local vendors, since we were living in a completely different area. We ended up using the DJ and the Caterer they recommended and we loved them!

So much to say about this venue!! I knew from the time we booked that we made the right decision. Each time I had a question throughout the planning process, I could email or call this venue and would get an answer back quickly. That's definitely what I needed! I loved the fact that the staff were helpful in many ways to better prepare me for my wedding day.
When my day came, I felt at ease knowing that my family, friends, and vendors were there to help in there own way. The Cotton Gin Barn staff were awesome! They made my wedding party, my guests, and myself feel like family.
The staff were very prepared and professional with everything. From their kindness to making it all run smoothly, we gives thanks and will continue to recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wonderful wedding day!!

We had our wedding and reception at The Cotton Gin Barn on Sunday, 10/11/2015, and we could not have been anymore pleased! Bonnie and her staff are extremely efficient, friendly, caring, outgoing, and they made sure we had absolutely everything we needed to make the wedding/reception went smoothly. Even our guests and family said this was the nicest venue and staff of people they have ever seen at a wedding, or any other party for that matter! We would highly recommend using The Cotton Gin Barn for any event, and we hope to work with them again in the future. Thank you all for making our special day a huge success!!

Over the past year and a half, I have been working with the crew at the Cotton Gin Barn on putting together my wedding day package. While my wedding is still a month away I am 100% certain that it will go off without a single issue because of the people there. They are kind, professional, well organized, and excited about what they do. I have been able to call with questions, walk through the venue multiple times no issue, and ask for help whenever I need it. My fiance and I would not have had our wedding anywhere else!
