Simply the best!

Messina and Lex were not only extremely friendly but also went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was flawless. From the outset, they provided a beautiful gift basket before we even booked, setting the tone for their exceptional service. On the day of the wedding, they left another thoughtful gift, a gesture that truly touched our hearts. Their attention to detail was impeccable—they coordinated every aspect, from the smallest decor elements to the overall flow of the day, ensuring everything was perfect. Even with a brand-new baby at home, they were hands-on, assisting with organization and maintaining constant communication. And when it came time to clean up, Lex kept the mood light with his humor, making the end of the day as enjoyable as the beginning. Their dedication and care made our wedding unforgettable.

Best day ever

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we visited, we knew this was the place where we wanted to celebrate our special day. Messinaand her husband Lex (the owners) went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly with my coordinator. Messina was always responsive and a literal angel through the whole process

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything looked, from the ceremony space to the reception area. Messina was incredibly accommodating, always ready to assist and the overall experience exceeded all our expectations.

Magical wedding night

On June 8, 2024, I married my husband at the White Barn. The night was better than we even dreamed of. Messina and Lex went above and beyond to make our night perfect. The venue is perfect without any added decorations; the barn is STUNNING and picture perfect. The grass behind the barn was shaded and so perfect for our evening ceremony, with the barn in the back drop and the vineyards on the other side, shaded perfectly by the trees. Our reception was right there too, with the bar and the lower grassy area. Lex and Messina were available for anything we needed, and, as a first time bride, I didn’t even know what I needed. Messina was available to me as we got closer to the date, and I started worrying about things…. She walked me through the venue again and helped me plan where tables and chairs would go and on the day of the ceremony helped us set up chairs… ABOVE AND BEYOND what we expected. Lex and Messina gave us a million dollar wedding and made our night more magical than we even dreamed possible. ***I dont have any pictures back yet but will add them later!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
