Beautiful venue

Our wedding was last month and I absolutely loved our venue! Our ceremony was outdoor with the reception inside. I liked that they had back up plans ready depending on the weather. The space is huge and well decorated on its own which was great for us as we only had to add a few accents to make it special for us. I loved the lighting inside and the string lights outside. The pictures we took outside are stunning! One of the best things was the private rooms to the side. My sister in law was able to use it for her newborn baby, it could also be used to get ready as well.

A Dream Come True

The Winthrop Barn Theatre was the perfect setting for our wedding day. They were so accommodating, even allowing us a last-minute hour to set up—which made all the difference. The venue was clean, spacious, and a beautiful canvas for the celebration we dreamed of. A great space for any couple looking for charm, room to dance, and excellent service.

Perfect wedding venue

My husband and I booked this venue after living nearby and touring the place. It was so US! Some of my family said it was the best wedding they had been to. Beautiful mix between elegant and rustic!

Loooved our Venue!!

We found The Barn at Wintrop on wedding wire. From the first time we saw the venue, we knew it was the one. All the staff was amazing and happy to work with us so that we had the day of our dreams. They were AMAZING to work with. They were also happy for us to come by at any time that we could visualize our day. Truly a perfect experience.

When my husband and I were looking at venues for our wedding, we wanted some place that wouldn’t break the bank but was also gorgeous. The Barn at Winthrop was everything we wanted it to be. We worked with Denise from day 1 and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have an event here. She was great with communication and willing to work with me with customizations for the wedding and everything in between. Not only leading up to the wedding was she amazing, but the day of she made sure we were taken care of and didn’t go hungry! I’m so thankful we chose The Barn because I truly believe we got the best deal for how beautiful everything turned out. They did a fantastic job coordinating and decorating and took away so much stress. Highly recommend!

Jamie is the manager at The Barn at Winthrop and she is just great. She always answers my calls and is happy to answer all my questions. She has been very flexible and allowed me access to the venue as I have needed for measurements. They have recommended other great vendors that are in my budget. The venue itself is really beautiful, both the outdoor space with the cafe lights and the indoor space with the beautiful up & down lit columns. Its a really flexible space that you can dress up to your liking or keep it simple and still be very elegant.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
