Highly Recommend!

My daughter was married at Watkins Barn & Venue and we couldn't ask for a better experience. Anna & Ryan are great to work with and very accommodating. They have a perfect little area for the bride and bridesmaids to relax and get ready in. The groom and groomsmen have a unique little space to get ready and watch tv. Tables, chairs, tablecloths, and tons of other decor were available for our use. Everything was just perfect for our daughter and we could not be more pleased.
