    Amazing Venue Amazing Day!

    I can't rave enough about Dustin and the Barn at Countryside! My husband and I got married in June 2022 but were supposed to get married in June of 2021. Dustin was super flexible and understanding during the pandemic and made it super easy to change dates.
    Our big day was a few weeks ago and Dustin made sure we had everything we needed. The venue is stunning and is perfect for indoor or outdoor ceremonies. This gave me such peace of mind since rain in Oregon is always a possibility! The barn is huge and our 200-person wedding felt so spacious! I also LOVED getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite and the groom's room is really big as well compared to others we saw. There was a ton of outdoor space to take pictures around the property and the barn is such a stunning backdrop! 10/10 Expereince!

    Easy to Work With

    We were so lucky to get this venue! Dustin (the owner) was really easy to work with and flexible. We had the perfect fall wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better setting to get married at! We would highly recommend The Barn at Countryside!

    The Best Venue in Oregon!

    My husband and I got married here at the end of October, our day was nothing short of perfect! This venue offers so much in its size and beauty. It is the perfect canvas to make the wedding of your dreams come true. Dustin is extremely responsive and flexible. He was a vital part in making our day as easy as possible. We will recommend this venue to everyone we know!

    The perfect venue

    Hi there all you future wedding couples! We had our wedding at the Barn at Countryside on October 16th, 2021. Because the weather would be unpredictable for our date, we thought this would be the perfect venue because we could hold our ceremony inside or outside. This helped put our minds at ease, and we were less stressed checking the weather in the days leading up to the wedding.
    The venue itself is gorgeous, and we got compliments from our guests all day. There are a number of great photo spots, and a beautiful view of Mount Hood if you are lucky enough to get a clear day.
    Another great feature of the venue is all the amenities it has to offer. Restrooms and the elegant get ready rooms for both the bride and groom suites were very nice. Additionally we used the venue's tables and chairs for our ceremony and reception. We also used the bar tabletop that was convenient and fit our theme.
    Lastly, Dustin, the owner of the venue, was tremendously helpful all throughout our planning and on the wedding day itself. He was very accommodating with all our needs, and quickly responded to our emails and text questions.
    We would highly recommend The Barn at Countryside to anyone looking to hold their wedding or a big event there.

    Best Venue, Best Experience, Best Day Ever!

    Thank you so much to Dustin for providing us with the hands down best day of our lives so far. The price was so reasonable, the accommodations were endless, and the venue itself was such a perfect place to spend our most magical day. I am also a wedding coordinator on the side and have experienced many vendors and venues. I can not recommend Barn at Countryside enough. They are a newer venue, which to me made my day even more special knowing none of my guests had ever been there before! I don’t have one complaint to share. If you’re looking for your special place save yourself the trouble of looking any further!

    Blew my expectations

    The barn at countryside was our dream venue come to life, it exceeded all of our expectations and gave us more than we knew we wanted! The owner, Dustin, was so friendly and helpful and went out of his way to help us with everything! Thanks to him and his venue we were able to have our dream wedding. We received so many compliments about our venue! Everyone loved it. So spacious, beautiful view, and so private! Long driveway to the venue made our event so private and intimate with our family and friends. So so thankful for this venue. Was the best decision of our wedding. We highly recommend! We hope to be back at one of our family or friends weddings. The barn at countryside will always have a special place in our hearts🤍

    Absolutely amazing!

    There are so many amazing things to say about this venue it is hard to put it into words! Dustin, the venue owner, was awesome to work with. He responds to questions quickly and was extremely helpful with setting up. His hospitality is unbelievable. Great guy!
    The venue itself is beautiful. The area around the venue has great views. Reception area is huge with lots of room for tables, food and dancing! Our guests loved the option of being able to go inside and outside during the reception with the patio that is attached to the reception area. We booked a mobile bar trailer and had outside games which made it so fun for our guests to hang out and mingle! The garage doors that are apart of the building gave the reception a nice breeze as well.
    We couldn’t ask for more and we are so happy that we booked with Dustin & the Barn at Countryside!

    The Perfect Venue!!

    The Barn at Countryside was the venue we were exactly looking for! After looking at a couple venues, we knew instantly when arriving we wanted to have our wedding here. The entire property is breathtaking and the barn itself is stunning on the outside and inside. We loved that we were able to really make it our own style because the inside is so open and the possibilities are really endless. Dustin and his team were amazing and willing to help us with any questions we had. We appreciated how quick he was to respond and how he'd always let us know to reach out if we needed anything! All the details he's put into the venue are amazing, especially the stunning bridal suit that made the day even more enjoyable (-: We can't thank The Barn at Countryside enough!!

    October Wedding- beautiful

    Dustin made having our wedding at this venue a breeze. He was very easy to work with and helped us navigate decoration ideas and vendors. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a large venue that is somewhat near Portland. I booked this venue because not only could they accommodate my original, pre COVID wedding size, but they were also relatively close to my family. The venue also had the more rustic feel that I was going for. They have indoor and outdoor options.

    Wedding 7/31/21

    The Barn at Countryside was an amazing venue. The ceremony location itself is absolutely breathtaking and by far the best we came across when searching for a venue and what we wanted. This venue definitely checked all the boxes. Dustin was amazing to work with and quick to respond to questions. There is a 10 hour window with the venue but you do have the option to buy additional hours which is what we did. I would recommend hiring a coordinator or an event design team to help set up the venue so it does not cut into your 10 hours at the venue. The price does include tables and chairs! The barn itself is very open with a lot of amazing opportunity to decorate! We brought in 4 wine barrels with 10 foot polls to string lights to create a dance floor and it was amazing. I will add more photos as I get them. Dustin allowed us to bring in all of our own vendors which was another reason why we loved The Barn at Countryside. The Bridal suit was amazing and had an AC unit which was very nice to have on our day because it was hot. The groomsmen room was nice as well. Both suits have their bathroom. Our overall experience was amazing and we could not have dreamed of a better day. Thank you Dustin for everything and for being so responsive when we had questions! We highly recommend!

    Couldn’t have asked for more!

    The barn at countryside is hands down one of the best venues I’ve been to, we said yes to the venue when it was just bare bones and it definitely did not disappoint! Dustin goes above and beyond to make sure your special day is everything you had imagined and is beyond helpful with whatever you need! I’d definitely recommend him to anyone, and the venue is gorgeous with so many good photo spots and plenty of room to not feel like guests are on top of each other. You won’t be sorry with this venue!

    Complete Perfection!

    Dustin and his team were a complete dream to work with! Our previous venue fell through about 6 months before our wedding and we were crushed. I reached out to Dustin and he was very quick to respond. We ended up booking this venue the same week and ended up actually being thankful our other venue fell through. The Barn at Countryside is the most beautiful venue. It has the sweetest country charm but is still very elegant and classy, perfect for both city & country folks. There are ample locations for pictures as well as multiple ceremony sites depending on the time of year. We got married outdoors and had the reception in the barn. We received numerous compliments from our guests on the location and would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Choosing The Barn at Countryside was easily the easiest part of planning our entire wedding.

    Watch your contract and your checkbook

    Watch your contracts carefully. It’s written poorly with discrepancies throughout on timing and rules. I’m certain we could have taken him to court but we elected not to as we wanted to move on from the headache and cost to fight him. That’s what he’s banking on. Even if a contract says you can leave things neatly organized for the following morning early pickup, or that rentals brought directly by vendor or brought by you can be picked up by 9am, he’ll charge you nearly full rate for not vacating by midnight. Make sure you cross check every clause or you’ll be screwed.

    Stunning Scenery, Yet Falls Short of Expectations.

    This venue is pretty, offering a stunning view, but we regret choosing it for our wedding.

    The temperature inside the barn becomes incredibly hot during the summer. Even with the doors open, we observed our guests stepping outside in search of relief from the heat. There is no insulation or any AC system. Even when it's in the 80s outside, the barn heats up to what feels like 100 degrees. We were provided with 6 ft tall industrial fans, but if you switch them on, expect everything from your tables to be blown onto the floor, and you won't be able to hear anyone due to the fan noise.

    The acoustics in the barn are very poor, making it impossible to achieve good sound quality in this venue. Our DJ struggled to eliminate echoing, resulting in a poor listening experience. We attended another wedding here, and the experience was identical – could not understand anything due to the echo.

    The venue strictly enforces its time limits, down to the minute. We had left well before our allotted time was up, but we received a text the next day stating that a vendor had picked up their equipment a few minutes after the 10-hour limit, and the venue refused to refund our $500 security deposit. This decision seemed shortsighted, as they could have simply charged us for an additional hour but chose not to.

    We had high expectations for this venue, and given the premium price we paid, we anticipated basic amenities and some flexibility. I recommend sparing yourself the stress and considering a different venue

    The Barn at Countryside's reply:

    Dan,

    I am sorry to hear about your experience. Our team provided all the information you would need for venue amenities and to follow our contractual policies. You signed the contract that stated you had rented the space for 10 hours total. Although you stated you left the property early, that timeline applies to all guests and vendors on property as well which is stated in our contract. Your coordinator, as well as many other people were still on site after your rental time had expired and we had found trash and personal belongings left in the bridal suite. There were also rentals that still needed to be taken out of the venue almost an hour past your end time. Due to these circumstances we had a contractual obligation to keep your security deposit for the additional time used and cleaning fees.

    We provided information about our barn not containing an HVAC system, and we do provide fans to keep the air moving on a hot day. All clients are aware of this when signing our contract for a summer wedding.

    We pride ourselves in working with our clients with full transparency and communication to make their day as smooth as possible; it is unfortunate to hear your wedding day did not meet your expectations.
