  Definetly Book This Venue!!!!!! Heather was absolutely AMAZING! From every silly question, to every single detail, to even making sure I ate before walking down the aisle. Such an amazing venue, amazing owners, they treated us like family. The views are beautiful, and they have a ton of decor to use, every single detail of our wedding was amazing. I cannot express my appreciation, and attentative service we received. Would definetly book again!!!

  We held both our ceremony and reception at the barn and it was absolutely perfect. When we first booked there, Heather gave us a list of local vendors she had worked with that she knew would do a good job, would travel to the barn, etc. We were able to come in Friday night for the rehearsal and to come clean up Sunday morning. She has beautiful farm tables for use so we rented dark wood chairs to match and only needed table runners (no linens) for the guest tables. The ceremony had an amazing view of the rolling hills, and there are many nearby sites for gorgeous pictures. Heather has beautiful lighting in the barn, and there are even several of the chalkboard and wooden signs you see all over pinterest already there for you to use and personalize. This site was everything we could have asked for.

  If you want the most charming, beautiful, comfortable, fun wedding reception then contact Heather at the Mandana Barn! The place is stunning and she and her family live there in the farmhouse so it is immaculately kept and she is so easy to work with and extremely helpful. Our guests absolutly loved the venue and it is somewhere that you could have a casual event as we did or the barn could really be dressed up and be elegant with the lighting that is inside. I HIGHLY recommend the Mandana Barn for your event, you will not be disappointed!!!

  We were so lucky to find the Mandana Barn! It is a such a beautiful venue in a gorgeous setting. The owners, Heather and Tim Carroll are incredible. They are responsive, welcoming, and very helpful. They have also completed renovations and are always finding ways to make the Barn and the event space more beautiful. Their cat had eight 8-week kittens, and my mom ended up taking one home! Be aware that planning a wedding in the barn is a completely Do-It-Yourself project, but they have a great list of recommended vendors that we used for all our big vendors. We also left our homemade cornhole set for future brides and grooms :-)

  I can't believe no one has gone on to review them yet! This is a wonderful venue for a ceremony and/or reception. The owners, Heather and Tim, are great. I had my reception here on September 14, and it was truly a magical night, made more so by the sweet ambience of the barn and the helpfullness of Heather and Tim. Definitely consider this venue over the traditional reception halls and restaurants in town. You can fit a lot of people in the barn plus you can supplement with a tent. Plus the surroundings are part of what made our wedding photos so beautiful. We love you Mandana Barn!

  Heather, owner of the big, red, Mandana Barn, offers her venue to wedding parties for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies & receptions. We chose to have our daughter's wedding ceremony for 87 guests on the side lawn overlooking fields and rolling hills. Other than a soggy area of the lawn that she helped us avoid during the procession, everything was picture perfect. Heather graciously offered the first floor of her home to the bridal party to gather before and after the ceremony, which provided for a very relaxed event. Thanks for everything, Heather! Photos afterward were so much fun set against the side of your lovely red barn!

  The day before our wedding we had several questions for the owner who was "busy". For example, an extra 100 chairs were delivered for a Sunday high school reunion- that we did not use- and we called the rental company (who confirmed the owner ordered them) and they refused to pick up the chairs. Guess who got that bill? Us. Our DJ wanted to set up the night before but we did not receive a wifi guest password from the owner in time. Then, the day of our wedding we unfortunately had a monsoon. The basement flooded and the power was out for four hours. No backup generator so our ceremony was in the pitch black in a barn. I did not see the owner but heard that her and her family helped shovel out water from the basement. All my wedding guests confirmed this was the only time they saw the owner all day and night. If it was not for my photographer and caterer I would have been clueless as to what to do next. Our caterer, Emily from the Mandana Inn, did everything possible to make our wedding day as flawless as possible (check out our review- I get emotional thinking about how selfless she was). But- if you are the neurotic bride who likes to plan far in advance this is not the venue for you. I paid for the venue 2.5 years before our wedding day, visited three times, and each time my mother communicated to the owner she would change her story. First- there was x amount of tables and chairs. Then, there were no chairs available to use so we scrambled for chair rentals. And then, she took months to respond to emails. And on top of that- pressured my mother into choosing a specific rental company so that the Sunday reunion could use our rentals we paid for. We all felt unwelcome at this location. In the end, she got her wish but she also will also receive this poor review. It was pretty embarrassing to have so many people ask me "where is the owner", or "has this happened before?", "what does the owner suggest?" and have to respond "I don't know" dozens of times.
