    Amazing staff!

    The staff was so welcoming and made our wedding day so special! They were easy to contact, responded quickly and were flexible. They helped with the little details, too, and even helped clean up a little at the end of the night :)

    Wonderful Venue and Staff!

    We recently had our wedding at Blue Haven. Amanda and the staff were great to work with from start to finish. She was very accommodating with any requests we had and we would recommend Blue Haven to anyone looking to host an event.

    Do not hesitate to book this venue for your Wedding!

    Amanda and Maria did a great job of helping us organize our day and giving suggestions when we asked. They were patient and worked with us when we were indecisive. The day of, everyone did a fantastic job! We had a layout transition between the ceremony and reception and they handled it all seamlessly! The day and night flowed perfectly with no issues at all. They have a great team! The venue itself is gorgeous with the barn being beautiful and the outdoor space perfect for pictures, sunset views and cocktail hour. We invited children to our wedding and they had a great time running around on the lawn area.

    THIS PLACE TURNED OUT AMAZING!! We were so lucky to be able to have our wedding reception at such a neat and new venue. Blue Haven allows couples to have the freedom to make weddings and receptions completely unique and personalized to whatever style or ambiance they desire. Possibilities are endless!! We simply can't say enough great things about the owners--Amanda was incredibly flexible, easy to work with, patient, accommodating, and understanding. Her organizational skills are top notch, and she made the planning process so easy! The Barn has an option to provide clean-up services at the end of the night, which we took advantage of and would highly recommend. In a subtle way, cleaning staff start boxing up things toward the end of the night and move it into storage for you to pick up at your convenience. This allowed us, along with our family and friends, to be worry-free and to enjoy and take in every last moment of our wedding day.

    This venue is exactly what Sioux Falls needed, and we feel so fortunate to have been able to get ready and celebrate in this stylish and trendy space. Our wedding day was so special and perfect and fun, thanks to Blue Haven and the fantastic service they provided. We will most certainly cherish the memories! I imagine Blue Haven will only get better in the years to come as the landscaping and gardens grow to full potential and provide beautiful backgrounds for wedding pictures. Without any hesitations, I would recommend Blue Haven Barn and their services in a heartbeat!

    Blue Haven Barn and Garden's reply:

    Thank you so much for this awesome review. We are so blessed with such amazing couples. It makes the process so much easier and enjoyable! Again, thank you for deciding to create this important memory with us. Amanda with Blue Haven

    We HIGHLY recommend Blue Haven Barn and Gardens for your event. We had several bumps along the road with other professionals falling through on us and Amanda at Blue Haven made us feel confident, secure, and well taken care of throughout all of the changes in plans that we needed to make. Not only do they have absolutely everything you would need there but they accommodated reasonable requests as well. They help you carry any burdens you might be feeling and are always responsive and available. We are so happy we worked with Blue Haven for all of these reasons (and of course the location is GORGEOUS). You can't go wrong here.

    Blue Haven Barn and Garden's reply:

    Thank you so much. Glad we were able to make your day special. It was a great event, wonderful crowd, and beautiful reception!

    Thank you Amanda for the beautiful reception venue. We had a great day. The building worked out perfectly for us and the outside grounds were great for our guests that needed time outside. It's so great to have a venue that will let the bride be free to carry out her dream wedding. Thanks again.

    Blue Haven was a beautiful venue for our winter wedding ceremony! Not the largest inside area for a wedding indoors but we didn't have a ton of people so it was just fine. Very intimate! The bridal suites are beautiful and made for the perfect place to get ready! Would recommend Blue Haven to any couple looking for a beautiful, rustic setting outside of the city!

    Amanda was a delight to work with, and she was accommodating and enthusiastic about creating the perfect event for us. She ensured that the bartenders, caterer, and florist worked together seamlessly, and was incredibly helpful with managing logistics and planning for every scenario. The venue is unique to the area, and our guests were impressed with both the indoor and outdoor beauty. Blue Haven Barn and Gardens has only been operating since the summer of 2016, but it has already become one of the best vendors in Sioux Falls.

    Our wedding was beautiful and Blue Haven made sure everything looked like a dream. The venue is truly unlike any in the area and it makes for the most beautiful setting for a wedding. The team is so easy to work and everyone is so friendly. The planning service was amazing and staff ensured that we got exactly what we wanted, even when it required more effort on Blue Haven's part. The clean-up service was amazing and allowed us to completely enjoy our night without worrying about having to pick stuff up. To top it all off, the staff went above and beyond to make things effortless for the entire wedding party and all our guests as well. Thank you Blue Haven!!

    We booked this venue before it was open. I wish I would have known about the lack of professionalism and experience the owners have before we booked - we would have gone somewhere else. For our 30 day meeting that I had booked a month in advance and I had several people able to come to hammer out final details, the owner told me that morning that it wouldn't work as her husband surprised her with a date night. Also, all emails and documents had spelling and grammar errors and would use ur instead of your, etc. I'm her customer, not her friend. She also had to ask me several times about details we had already either spoken about or emailed about. Thank gosh I had a great coordinator apart from Blue Haven that took off the stress that this owner put on me!

    Blue Haven Barn and Garden's reply:

    I apologize for the disappointment. The email I sent to the bride about our planning meeting said I had forgot my wedding anniversary and if you couldn't reschedule that was fine. I was absolutely in panic that I did this. I hated to even ask. She said it was fine, if not I would have kept my commitment for sure. Also, I am usually not one to challenge a review as there is always room for improvement but during our 30 day meeting I was given no details as nothing was prepared - no seating plans, guest counts, beverage request. My notes indicated several comments "Will let me know." - I followed up with these blanks as part of trying to make details perfect; I did not mean to seem unorganized. The beverage order was changed multiple times and the family kept trying to bargain prices with me, which are price very close or less than other venues. I knew the father was upset about this but I didn't think it would be fair for other brides. In addition, we made further arrangements to only sell Budweiser products as a special request for this wedding. I agree this wedding felt completely unorganized and I tried my hardest to make sure we had all the details perfect. I even took time to contact the wedding planner and ask for a seating chart so I could make sure set up was ready for them. The mom called me the next day to tell me how happy she was and was so thankful we stayed with them until 1am on a cold night while they waited for there shuttle that was delayed. I apologize for the lack of service, we do strive to be extremely detailed which is why my planning list is 4 pages long. I have made some changes after this occurrence and am extremely clear with brides to try to have as many details as possible for me for our 30 day meeting.
