The most magical wedding venue with the most wonderful people!

I fell in love with The Oak Barn at Loyalty the moment I saw photos online. My then-fiancé (now husband!) agreed to go tour it but made it very clear that we were just looking and wouldn't be making any decisions that day. Well, by the end of our tour and meeting Barb and Ernie, he was the one asking for a contract!
The property is absolutely breathtaking. The views are stunning, the barn is magical, and what makes this venue truly special is that it feels like you're getting married at a beautiful family property rather than a corporate wedding venue. There is so much warmth and charm in every detail.
But as incredible as the property is, Barb and Ernie are what make The Oak Barn truly exceptional. From the very beginning, they were kind, thoughtful, thorough, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. They helped us think through details and ideas we hadn't even considered, and their preferred vendor list was an invaluable resource. We ended up booking most of our vendors from their recommendations, and every one of them helped make our day perfect.
On our wedding day, we woke up to rain, but I never once felt stressed about it. Even the backup plans at The Oak Barn are stunning, and I knew we were in wonderful hands. Ernie spent the entire day outside making sure the property was absolutely perfect, and thankfully, the rain stopped and we ended up with the most beautiful weather and an absolutely magical setting for our ceremony and celebration. Barb was as sweet and reassuring as ever, checking in to make sure I had nothing to worry about. Everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined!
What really speaks to the kind of people they are is that after the wedding, Barb and Ernie genuinely wanted to know if there was anything they could have done better. And I can honestly say I had absolutely nothing to offer. From the day we signed our contract to the morning after our wedding when we picked up our belongings, the entire experience was flawless.
I cannot recommend The Oak Barn at Loyalty enough. If you're considering this venue, go tour it. Just don't be surprised if you walk out asking for a contract like my husband did! Barb and Ernie are truly wonderful people, and we will forever be grateful that we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives at their beautiful property.

Unbelievably perfect.

Our day was absolutely perfect, and we truly cannot thank Ernie and Barb enough for all the time, effort, and love they put into making it that way.

Their help, dedication, and attention to every little detail did not go unnoticed. It is so clear how much they care about what they do, and it made such a difference in our experience. We were able to enjoy our day and soak in every moment knowing we were in such good hands. I cannot say enough about them and the oak barn.

Truly the most perfect venue and even more perfect owners. We have felt like family from the start.

The best wedding venue!

We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding! Barb and Ernie are absolutely amazing. They treat you like family. They really care about getting to know you as a couple and how to make your vision come to life. They pay attention to every detail, making sure our wedding day ran as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect setting for our wedding. From the ceremony space, cocktail hour, to reception, the venue is incredible! We received so many compliments from guests on the location/venue itself. Luckily it did not rain, but the rain plan is really great if needed!

What we appreciated most was how much we could trust them to help take care of the details. They made sure it was exactly what we envisioned. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, and having a venue that was organized, accommodating, and supportive made such a difference. On our wedding day, we were able to relax, enjoy ourselves, and truly take in every moment knowing everything was being handled.

We are so grateful that we chose this venue for such an important day in our lives. It was the perfect place to celebrate our marriage, and we would absolutely recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an amazing people to work with.

Spectacular Views, Exceptional Hosts, and an Unforgettable Wedding Day

As the bride’s parents, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting or more wonderful hosts for our daughter’s wedding at Oak Barn at Loyalty. The outdoor ceremony offered spectacular views, and the beautiful Amish barn made the celebration feel warm and welcoming.
Ernie and Barb opened up their venue and home to us and made the entire experience feel personal from the moment the bride and groom met them. Their communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and they worked closely with us to bring everything together. Ernie was available throughout the night, ready to work with our coordinator whenever anything came up so we could relax and enjoy the celebration. We were so happy that they both could enjoy the evening with us.
We also appreciated their vendor recommendations, which came from a sincere desire to make our daughter’s wedding the best possible experience. Every recommendation was spot-on—top-notch all the way! The vendors helped our daughter feel relaxed, cared for, and truly special, allowing her to enjoy every moment of her wedding day.
Ernie and Barb are exceptional people and wonderful wedding hosts. We’re so grateful for the care they put into our daughter’s special day and would wholeheartedly recommend their venue!

Fabulous venue!!

Words can’t describe how highly we rate The Oak Barn to host your big day! We had several venue tours planned and cancelled them all on the way home from our tour at Oak Barn. Barn and Ernie immediately felt like family and we knew we had to pick The Oak Barn to host all our friends and family for our wedding day. The day could not have gone more smoothly, communication throughout the planning process was incredible and that’s all thanks to Barb and Ernie. Booking The Oak Barn is not just booking any venue, it’s getting to share a wonderful couple’s home for the best day of your life!

Amazing Venue

Dear Barb and Ernie,



We wanted to take a moment to express our most sincere thanks for everything you did to make Meghan and John's wedding day so incredibly beautiful and special. You two have truly built something special!



The Oak Barn was truly the perfect setting for such an important day in our family’s lives. We are so grateful for the time, care, and attention you put into every detail. It was clear how much thought and effort went into making sure everything was just right, and because of that, we were able to relax, celebrate, and truly enjoy the day with our family and friends.



We are especially thankful for your incredible generosity in opening your beautiful home to the wedding party. That kindness made everyone feel so welcomed and cared for and added such a personal and meaningful touch to the entire weekend.



The wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the beautiful surroundings to the thoughtful details and warm hospitality, it was an absolutely fabulous day filled with so much love, laughter, dancing, and wonderful memories. Our family and friends are still talking about what a beautiful venue it was and what an amazing time they had.



Thank you for sharing such a special place with our family and for all you did behind the scenes to make the day so memorable. We will always look back on Meghan and John's wedding at Oak Barn with full hearts and tremendous gratitude. We can't wait to share some of the photos with you both.



With our warmest thanks and appreciation,



Veronica and Andy

Best Wedding Ever

We had such a wonderful experience at the oak barn. The venue is absolutely beautiful and I think the photos speak for themselves. There are so many spots set up for picturesque moments, from the ceremony site to the grand entrance and exit, to the patio lit up at night, and so much more. There were flowers in bloom perfectly placed for our first look, and arches inside and outside ready to be decorated. We had ceremony flowers transferred for the reception and we were allowed to decorate the rafters as well.

What you can’t see is that the owners Barb and Ernie are awesome. They were extremely friendly and communicative and always made themselves available for any questions we had. They have a very curated list of vendors they’ve worked with before, which was long enough that it didn’t feel restrictive but really helped us streamline the process because without a starting point, the number of vendors out there is totally overwhelming. We could tell that our planner and caterer knew them well and they were familiar with the venue, which I think helped things run smoothly on our day. The fact that the barn has both heat and A/C gave us so much peace of mind, and even in April things got warm enough that we had cool things down as the evening went on. Barb and Ernie let us bury a bourbon bottle on site a month out from our wedding, a tradition that is supposed to ensure good weather and keep the rain away. The weather on our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect, and digging it up was a really fun and special part of the day. They were very accommodating to special requests. They don’t usually allow bands, but we wanted to have a live jazz band on the patio for our cocktail hour and they let us. They also let us schedule visits as much as we wanted, so I was able to show my bridesmaids the venue on the way to my bachelorette trip. There are lots of lovely venues out there, but the vendors you choose to work with make just as much of an impact. You spend one day having your wedding, but months and months under contract with them during the planning process. We couldn’t be happier with the venue itself and the experience we had leading up to the wedding.

The PERFECT Wedding Venue!

The Oak Barn is an absolute dream of a wedding venue. Barb and Ernie immediately made us feel like family, and we knew from our first walkthrough that this would be the place we'd get married at. The Bridal and Groom's suites had plenty of space for our bridal party to hang out in, and they had everything we needed for the morning of the wedding. The patio provided the perfect space for cocktail hour, a gathering place for a break from the dance floor, and a picture-perfect grand exit with string lights all lit up. The barn looked absolutely stunning and full of natural light from all the open doors, and the ceremony on the lawn was everything I dreamed of. Barb and Ernie went the extra mile to make sure I had everything exactly the way I wanted it and to make sure I felt calm and comfortable. They always answered any questions we had, coordinated with all our vendors, and checked in on me throughout my wedding day to make sure I had everything I needed. I received so many compliments from my guests about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful experience at The Oak Barn, and to have met Barb and Ernie. This is a place my family will hold in our hearts forever!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
