Wedding, Reception, Rehersal Dinner Venue
11/4/23 Bride here! We had our rehearsal dinner as well as our wedding ceremony and reception all at the venue location and we could not have been more pleased with the accommodation's and overall outcome of all events! The owner Ruth and her husband are not only both chefs, but Ruth was awesome to work with, especially if you appreciate someone who is able to keep the show running smoothly while the Bride slightly delays the ceremony due to a small panic attack! Her and the staff took incredible care of myself/Groom, both Bride/Groom parties and all of the guests through all 3 events! Planning was a breeze and she truly makes your vision come to life! The best part about this venue is that it’s already gorgeous as is, and we felt that we did not have to focus heavily on additional decor; Ruth worked with us closely to ensure our theme and colors perfectly tied together with the natural beauty of the venue; I felt so comfortable with Ruth that I gave her full reigns on any additional decor we brought, for her to place where it looked best, and she delivered flawlessly. We continue to received tons of compliments on the food, dessert, venue, overall service and more! Highly recommend as a venue that adapts to all your needs and brings your vision to life! -

Ruth and the whole team at Barn at Boone’s Dam were amazing! Whether is was deciding what wedding package to get, to keeping the Groomsmen on their best behavior, Ruth was open and willing to make all our wishes come true. Of course, my favorite part of the whole experience was the food! From appetizers to the cupcakes, we could not have been more pleased. The very very best part was the service between ceremony and reception. While our guests enjoyed cocktail hour, and we took pictures, Ruth’s staff made sure our bridal suite was filled with appetizers and drinks, truly making this the BEST DAY EVER. Thank you to everyone who made it so perfect!!! -

We toured 28 venues before picking and this one has the most character, inclusivity, and options by far. Easy decision that we're happy with and grateful for. Ruth was wonderful and so helpful. Even when faced with some controlling family members in planning, Ruth was professional and accommodating to what we as the couple wanted and needed. It was a fantastic day! -

A wonderful venue with amazing owners and staff
The first day we went to view the venue we immediately knew it was where we wanted to get married. Ruth made every step of planning feel super easy and light and the whole place is absolutely gorgeous. The food is amazing, my guests could not stop talking about it and Ruth goes above and beyond to make sure there’s nothing to worry about on your big day but being your happiest and having the best time possible. All of the staff is so friendly and helpful and assisted in making sure everything was perfect. We can’t thank them enough, they truly gave us the perfect wedding day! -

I highly recommend The Barn at Boone's Dam! It was so nice to have indoor & outdoor space for our wedding, all at the same location! Ruth was so patient, organized & had great recommendations for other local vendors, which was super helpful since we weren't from the area. They had so many different food options, which allowed us to put together options for everyone to enjoy. The open house held in the spring to try the food & cake, see the decorations, and meet various vendors was also great! The day of our wedding went so smooth! Ruth and her staff were so efficient, polite and just amazing. Our guests had nothing negative to say about the venue and staff. It was an amazing time and everything was set up beautifully! For everything that was included and taken care of, the cost seemed too good to be true. -

Lauren K. Sent on 07/06/2022Excellent Stress Free Wedding Venue!
I picked The Barn at Boones Dam for my wedding venue because they take care of almost everything for you. No worrying about decorations or rentals, Ruth has all that covered. She has multiple great packages that include catering, linens, tables, chairs, decorations, bar service, and a lot more! Working with Ruth was super easy. She replied quick to all my emails. She hosts a spring open house for brides to see linens and table decorations in person and taste some of the food options on her menu, which was very helpful with planning. She was also very flexible when I changed my mind on things and kept a detailed and updated plan of the wedding day that she would send to me whenever I made a change. The day of the wedding ran smooth thanks to Ruth and her staff. My guests loved the venue and had such a great time. I got so many compliments from guests on how beautiful and well decorated the venue was and how great the food was. The ceremony to cocktail hour to reception flowed beautifully. You can tell Ruth has years of experience, I couldn't have planned a wedding without her. I highly recommend The Barn at Boones Dam to anyone! -

Best day ever!
I planned this wedding from NY. I went to Pennsylvania once to meet the owner, Ruth. She sat down with us and explained everything from beginning to end. Whatever you think is your fairytale wedding, Barn Boones Dam will EXCEED your expectations! Ruth kept in constant communication with me, easing my anxiety. The venue was romantic and the staff was amazing! Whenever I had a question about some thing in the area, she provided a vendor list. Ruth single-handedly made my wedding beautiful by all of her personal touches like specialty drinks, signs, etc. We had chicken, salmon and steak and our guest are still talking about the food. We had a wedding cake but chose cupcakes so people could have a variety of flavors. There is not one thing that I can say should have been improved except we should’ve made the wedding a whole day event to enjoy the beautiful grounds and scenery.

From the beginning Ruth was nothing but the best to work with. Due to the pandemic we had to shift things around including our date and Ruth still managed to give us the best day despite the new restrictions put in place. Her readiness to make sure your day is special from start to finish is something that is so appreciated during what can be a stressful time of planning a wedding. We are so lucky to have been able to have our wedding at her beautiful venue and to have her help with planning our wedding.A day we will surely never forget! -
