Wonderful Venue

I was a planner for a wedding held at The Barn in April. Wonderful Staff, the most beautiful venue and the ceremony sites are outstanding.
Every one was so easy to work with and a pleasure during the event.
I highly recommend this upscale venue to any bride looking for the rustic, yet classy venue.

10 stars. great time.

Dudes normally don’t give reviews but I wanted to. This place was awesome. It has the girly side but also masculine as well.
They have a suite for the girls and then one for the guys. Other weddings I’ve been in or at the guys have yo be ready or get ready in a hotel close by. The grooms area is right next to the bar. The wedding party had open bar and the guest had cost bar. Apparently they have a ton of bar package options to choose from. Their selection was good because our part requested our favorites prior.
Ceremony was awesome. They say you can choose to have it anywhere you se grass. The place use to be a golf course so there are lots of options.
Cocktail hour was on the patio. They had games and fire pits. Couldn’t use the fire pits but thats only because they weren’t in the package/discussed. No biggie. Still awesome.
Reception was awesome. Bar staff were friendly. The management kept walking around checking on areas, making sure everything was okay. Whenever there was a question, they answered it. The whole staff were supper professional, provided everything we paid for and had great hospitality. They honestly did more than they needed.
