Barn Appétit Reviews

I can’t begin to say how amazing Todd is with his venue!!! All the helpful tips he has to offer made my wedding planning so much simpler! Very thorough!

My husband and I got married here last month and it was perfect! Todd was great. There was always a very clear line of communication with him. He gives you plenty of time at the venue to put things together. We were there Thursday to Sunday morning for set up/wedding/tear down which helped so much having the extra time. They also have a room of decor which was so helpful to have that included so I didn’t have to buy a lot of decor. The property is so beautiful you barely have to decorate it anyway! I would definitely recommend Barn Appétit you won’t regret it!😊

We had not ever planned on a barn wedding, we had a 1920's themed wedding planned in a hotel, due to Covid we ended up thinking differently, and it was perfect! Todd was absolutely amazing, he gives the most generous setup and tear-down time. The venue is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Our friends and family are still raving about how amazing everything was. The ready room was beautiful, the entire venue is clean, fully stocked and you could not ask for a better host... he made us feel like family .

Barn Appetite was a beautiful venue. The owners were great and very helpful while setting up and cleaning up.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Barn Appetit. The owners are amazing and so easy the work with and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Our day was perfect and everything we could have ever imagined. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue. Thank you to the Geise family for helping to make our dream day a reality! We are so thankful.

Oh my goodness, where to begin?!? The Geise family was a joy and delight to work with. They were both professional and personable. From meeting with me on short-notice to being there all weekend (Barn Appetit rents out the venue from Thursday-Sunday for you to use!!) to help in anyway possible, I was consistently humbled by their devotion to their business and clients. When I first met with Todd, he informed me that there would most likely be some updates to the Barn and venue by the time our wedding came along, including a bridal suite. We were the second wedding to use their new bridal suite! It was absolutely stunning!!! Along with a ceremony and reception site, Barn Appetit has countless photo locations and a wide variety of layout options.
On the day of the wedding, there were several challenges that arose (as usual) including forgetting the gluten free bread for communion. Todd Geise immediately ran into their home and got a slice of his own gluten free bread for us to use! I was never disappointed with the communication or service we received working with the Geise family. We highly recommend Barn Appetit!!

Our daughter got married here 7/13/24. It was the perfect venue! Everything is absolutely beautiful. Todd goes above and beyond, to make sure you have everything you need, and makes sure things are running smoothly. You have lots of time for set up, he has a room full of items you may use. All the chairs are comfortable for all guests types. Lots of Beautiful places for pictures. We highly recommend the Barn Appétit.

We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding than Barn Appetit. The Geise family really welcome you onto the property and make you feel so welcome for your big day! There are so many amazing aspects of this venue! First, you have the property available to you from Thursday to Sunday! We had so much time to make the barn and ceremony space exactly what we wanted. Second, Todd and family have an entire section of the barn with decorations that you are able to use! It was such a time saver being able to grab whatever we needed and have it on site and ready to go! Next, the bridal suite is a beautiful space for the bride to spend time with her bridesmaids and family on the day of the wedding! We were able to have everyone get ready in one space at the same time and it really allowed us to have a stress free and fun morning before our wedding! Todd was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. He allowed us to visit the barn to make plans multiple times before our wedding and was available to help with set up and break down! Most importantly the barn and the property are stunning! Having our wedding here really just made for the most perfect day!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding. We instantly fell in love with Barn Appetit the moment we visited. The owners are fantastic to work with and are very flexible. There is a "ready room" onsite that the bridal party can use to get ready. Our wedding had 130 guests and it was the perfect amount for the venue. I would not recommend any more than 150 guests. There are always updates being done to this venue and the ceremony location is gorgeous!

We were thrilled to have our wedding and reception at Barn Appetit. Overall it was a lovely property with equally lovely proprietors. The Geise family was a pleasure to work with and always friendly, accommodating, and accessible. We appreciated being able to start setting up the venue days in advance and Todd’s constantly helpful presence as we navigated mini-tornadoes, weather-caused power outages, and other mini-crises, as often arise during a wedding. The barn was clean and ideally set-up for a wedding, with convenient modern bathrooms and plenty of space for our 150+ guests as well as vendors. The property is well-maintained with many gorgeous nooks and crannies for photography, including beautiful rhododendron bushes in the front of the house, a winding woodland path, and a cute arch nestled in front of the cornfield. It was very convenient to use the Geises’ house as a getting ready area and the abundance of parking made the day itself go smoothly. We highly recommend Barn Appetit as a wedding venue!

We had a wonderful experience. Todd and his family were wonderful to work with. Todd was very easily to keep in touch with and was very professional, but also very down to earth. Everyone one went out of their way to help us. The grounds were recently re-landscaped and were beautiful as is the barn. We had approximately 190 at the wedding and we had plenty of room. The view was beautiful from the barn and we held the ceremony outside and the landscaping was beautiful. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

I can not say enough good things about Barn Appetit. They were beyond accommodating to all of my needs and such a pleasure to work with. It was obvious that the woman was genuinely happy for all of the couples that got married there. Todd was quick to respond to any request and just so easy to work with. I was afraid that an August wedding would be smoking hot inside the barn but to our surprise, it was very comfortable inside throughout the whole day. The only thing I was disappointed about was their construction zone. They were adding a piece onto the back of their house (the backyard is the outside ceremony site) and it was a bit of an eyesore to get married beside a construction site. When we reserved the property, we were not informed that this would be going on and I was rather disappointed to arrive to decorate and find the ceremony site be so different than what we thought. I am sure that once the house addition is complete, the backyard will be beautiful once again - it was just bad timing for us. Other than that, it couldn't have been more perfect.
