April 18 2026 Wedding at the Oak Barn

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention how wonderful the entire venue is as well. The Oak Barn is BEAUTIFUL and the property is one of a kind. We loved the mountains in the background and were also told by our guests how special they thought the scenery was. We could go on and on about the location and views but you’ll have to see it for yourself! There is so much more to be said about Barb and Ernie, but we will conclude by saying that we consider Barb and Ernie friends after working with them for the past year and miss planning our wedding alongside them. You will not regret having your wedding at the Oak Barn!

One Year Later

One year later - With our first anniversary just passing we’ve been looking at pictures and thinking back on the wedding day. Over the last year, we have gotten so many compliments on the wedding day and the venue, some even saying it was the best wedding they had been to. Most comments are to do with how beautiful the venue was and how organized everything was. The day would not have been what it was and what we envisioned without Barb and Ernie. They both provided guidance and helped everything become what it was. Along with that, they both felt like part of the family and I thank them for that!

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner

We recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at The Oak Barn at Loyalty and could not have been happier with our decision.
The venue itself is gorgeous, with well-maintained facilities and beautiful views that created the perfect backdrop for our event. Beyond the setting, what truly sets this venue apart is the level of service provided by the owners.
Barb and Ernie were engaged throughout the planning process, easy to communicate with, and committed to ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were accommodating, attentive, and focused on helping us create a memorable experience for our family and guests.
The combination of a beautiful venue, excellent communication, and owners who genuinely care about the success of your event makes The Oak Barn at Loyalty an easy recommendation. We would absolutely host another event there.

Hidden Gem!

My husband and I are so happy we chose to have our wedding at the Oak Barn! The property is absolutely beautiful and spacious — it comfortably fit our 150 guests, and the mountain views were truly the reason we fell in love with the venue. The barn itself is stunning inside and made for such a warm, elegant atmosphere.

Barb and Ernie are wonderful owners and were so attentive throughout the entire process. They genuinely care about their couples and took the time to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of, including coordinating with vendors and keeping things on schedule. They also take such pride in maintaining the property, and it really shows.

One of the biggest conveniences for us was that the Oak Barn only hosts one wedding per weekend. This took so much stress out of the logistics — we were able to drop off decorations on Friday during our rehearsal and then pick up anything we couldn’t fit in the car on Sunday. It felt relaxed and unrushed, unlike other venues that try to fit in as many weddings as possible. We also found their pricing to be very reasonable for everything included, especially when compared to other venues we toured.

Another huge help during planning was their list of preferred vendors. Having reliable options to choose from made the entire process so much smoother and less overwhelming.

We couldn’t recommend the Oak Barn more — it’s a beautiful venue with thoughtful owners who truly care about their couples and the experience they provide.

An AMAZING wedding vendor!

We had an amazing wedding at the Oak Barn! We can honestly say Barb and Ernie were one of the best parts of our wedding experience.

Immediately the owners made us feel like family. We thought they were warm and genuinely excited to be part of our day and not as just vendors but as people who really wanted to make our day special. This meant the world to us. Their communication was clear and thoughtful, and made us feel like we were in good hands. This made all the difference in our stress levels.

We were worried about rain leading up to our wedding and were comforted in knowing that they also had a great back up plan in place to adapt if the wedding changes for the worse. Luckily on our wedding day the weather was beautiful and the scenic background for our ceremony looked amazing. Our wedding was during brunch time and Barb and Ernie put up three large umbrellas in the patio which brought good coverage with the sun.

We are so grateful we found the Oak Barn and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team who will also treat you with care, respect, and warmth from the very beginning.

Thank you again to Barb and Ernie for making our special day unforgettable.

Beautiful Venue

Barb and Ernie did so much to make Meagan and Brien’s wedding day so wonderful. Their venue was the perfect setting—beautiful, warm, and welcoming—and it truly set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

From the very first time we visited, we knew that this was the perfect place for Meagan and Brien to get married. Barb and Ernie always made us feel comfortable and supported and helped guide us as we navigated planning her wedding. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness throughout this last year was so helpful since this is the first wedding in our little family.

My elderly parents truly enjoyed meeting them at the wedding and we are so appreciative of the care they were given along with our uncle who struggled with mobility issues. Our family and friends continue to rave about the venue and the atmosphere they helped create. Please know how grateful we are for the role Barb and Ernie played in making such cherished memories for our family. We cannot thank them enough for all that they have done for us.

Stunning outdoor ceremony view with rustic & elegant barn

Our son was recently married at The Oak Barn at Loyalty, and it was all we had dreamed of. From the beginning, the bride and groom wanted an outdoor ceremony with mountain views, and The Oak Barn provided the most stunning backdrop. When they first met Barb and Ernie, they immediately felt they would be well cared for—and that feeling proved true every step of the way.
Barb and Ernie are truly exceptional. They bring years of experience while also giving each couple personal attention and genuine care, making sure every detail reflects their vision. They were always responsive, flexible, and went above and beyond to create a magical wedding weekend. One of the things we especially appreciated was that they only host one wedding per weekend, which gave us plenty of time for a rehearsal, to drop things off beforehand, and to collect items the next morning without any rush.
The property itself is beautiful and versatile, with a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The upper patio was perfect for cocktail hour, while the lower patio hosted lawn games for guests. Leading up to the big day, we saw Ernie’s incredible attention to detail as he prepared the grounds, and on the wedding day he worked quietly behind the scenes, handling vendor issues before we even knew they existed.
The Oak Barn at Loyalty is an absolute gem, and Barb and Ernie’s care for each couple makes it truly special. We couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Perfect Wedding Venue

We got married at Oak Barn in August 2025 and could not have been happier with the way the day turned out. The venue is absolutely stunning, and Barb and Ernie were so accommodating throughout the entire process. The venue felt warm and welcoming, while being the perfect backdrop for our special day. And having the venue for the whole weekend made all of the planning that much easier. Highly recommend The Oak Barn if you are in the market for a wedding venue that will hold a special place in your heart forever!
