    Fantastic!

    I would recommend this vendor to anyone!! Doug was who I worked with before the big day and his family as it got closer. They are all very nice and reasonable - easiest people to work with! You can bring your own alcohol in, we had food trucks, and he let us stay until late and we had the whole venue the day before. The only downfall, it will get a little uncomfortable if there are more than 175 people (we know, we maxed this), but if you're less than that, you'll never regret booking this beautiful amd quaint venue.

    Beautiful Barn Venue

    My husband and I had an amazing time for our wedding at the beautiful Barnstone! The barn and carriage house bar area were already decorated with vintage things, so we didn’t have to decorate much otherwise! The owner, Doug, was very accommodating as he let us visit multiple times before our wedding day to plan things out. He also landscaped the property beautifully in time for our day, and helped with setup the day before and the day of. It’s rare to find a venue that lets you set up the whole day before and the day of, and my husband and I really appreciated that! Would recommend this one of a kind venue to anyone! It has a lot of charm.

    The Barnstone's reply:

    Thanks Allison, it was an honor and pleasure to be able to host your wedding and reception last month at the Barnstone.
    Best Wishes,
    Doug House

    My Perfect Wedding

    The owners were amazingly wonderful. No stress and just wonderful. I have received so many phone calls from friends and family telling us that this was the best wedding they had been too in years. THANK YOU BARNSTONE for making our dreams of a fun gorgeous wedding come true!

    The PERFECT Rustic Barn Venue!!

    I had SO MANY people at my wedding compliment how beautiful and perfect this venue was! It really took our wedding to a whole other level. The beautiful ceremony area, the rustic reception barn, and even the restrooms (working plumbing!! You don’t usually get that with a barn venue!) took an already amazing day and made it picture-perfect. Thanks to Doug and his way of making you feel heard and important, I had the best wedding ever!! (Yes, I am biased, but it really was perfect!)

    Perfect Venue for an Unforgettable Day

    This was by far the best venue we could have found. From value, to amenities, to Doug being the the best host, we couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. We were able to set up appointments to visit the venue whenever we gave enough heads up which eased the stress of planning. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding at The Barnstone. You’ll be glad you did.

    The Barnstone Helped Us Have a Perfect Day!

    Doug and his wife were amazing throughout the entire experience working with them! My husband and I were married at The Barnstone on June 1, 2019. Doug was always very responsive to any questions we had right from the booking of our viewing of the venue to sending back our deposit after the wedding and all of the details in between. They really helped make the day run smoothly and I did not have to worry about anything and was able to enjoy our day. They are also very flexible and are willing to work with you to make the day how you want it to be. Additionally, the venue itself is incredible. So many of our guests had wonderful things to say about how charming it was. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a charming and cozy wedding for themselves and their guests!

    The Barnstone's reply:

    Thanks for kind words, Danielle. We are working hard to make it a memorable day for couples and their families!!

    Better than imagined!!

    Words will never express the happiness I felt on my wedding day. 9/30/2023 will be hard to beat. Not only was the venue perfect but the owner was beyond selfless. He was always around ready to assist in any way possible. The only thing I wish was available was a kitchen or at least a fridge but even when I needed a fridge last minute Doug stepped in to assure me it’ll be okay. My cake was delivered early and he offered to take it to his home and keep it chilled. The summer house and chicken house were perfect for the bridal parties. My guests couldn’t stop mentioning how beautiful and wholesome the atmosphere was. Thank you Doug! And a huge shout out to your sister for all the help you guys provided. Jake and I are so grateful for your attentiveness to create a perfect day for us. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I truly wish I could do this day over and over again. It was a dream✨

    My favorite location

    I loved everything about my wedding day and location played a HUGE part in that. The day before I spent my day setting up and everything went so smooth, it was great, which made me feel at ease on the big day. The outside landscape and barn just being there make the whole atmosphere making adding wedding décor easy and not stressful. I had an image in my mind of what I wanted my wedding to be and this place made it happen.

    The Barnstone's reply:

    Thanks Ashley, It was a pleasure to work with you and your family and happy we could make your dreams come true!!

    Incredible

    I cannot recommend The Barnstone enough! Doug was amazing to work with and was incredible professional and helpful! The venue is so beautiful and they made sure everything went smoothly. It unexpectedly was cold the day of my wedding, so the week of they contacted me that they could rent a heater if I wanted it! I was so wonderful they were looking out for me and I didn't need to worry about it at all! I've heard horror stories about different venues, but at this venue, I have no complaints at all! Another bonus, I barely had to decorate because of how beautiful it was. It save so much money and time and everyone said how beautiful it was. The venue was one part of my wedding I did not have to worry or stress about at all.

    Beautiful Barn Venue

    Perfect location with great sunsets and landscape for pictures. Loved the setup with the Carriage House for drinks/appetizers, spacious barn for the reception, and fun summer house & chicken coop for the bridal party to get ready. Our guests loved the location and setup. The owner was super great to work with and very helpful. We had no complaints through the process! We really enjoyed the cute lock wall that couples can secure a lock on. We would highly recommend The Barnstone if you are looking to have a memorable barn wedding!

    The Barnstone's reply:

    Thanks Taylor, it was great to work with you and your family through the whole process, we are so glad everyone is happy.

    Above and Beyond

    This is a beautiful venue with lots of character and charm. I was blown away by the venue director’s (Doug) attentiveness. Leading up to the wedding, he was flexible in allowing me the visit the venue multiple times and was detailed in writing down everything I wanted. On the day of, mostly everything was set up the way we had discussed. While guests arrived, he attended parking and ensured those who needed extra assistance a ride on the golf cart. There were many things he did behind the scenes that I wasn’t fully aware of but made the day that much more special and run smoothly. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a wedding!

    A Perfect Day

    Doug was an awesome person to work with! He let us visit throughout our planning period to get refreshers and fall in love with the venue all over again. Having the entire day before our wedding to set up was so stress relieving!! He was even so helpful the day of :) We continuously get compliments of how beautiful everything was. We couldn’t recommend this place enough!

    Overall Amazing

    The Barnstone and Doug are amazing! He was so accommodating for both our rehearsal and our big day. He worked hard to ensure that everything was taken care of and our day could be beautiful. Leading up to our day he always responded and answered my questions in a timely manner. This is a great venue that is so beautiful and everything we wanted but it comes with great people too!

    Book this venue

    The owner is completely accommodating and flexible. You can really transform this space on a budget as they have put a lot of thought into décor that is already present. Loved our experience.

    The Barnstone is a wonderful indoor/outdoor venue!

    We had our long awaited, post-COVID wedding reception at The Barnstone. Doug was extremely easy to work with and very flexible with rescheduling during the pandemic. Our guests loved the venue with the spacious barn (with plenty of room for the DJ and dancing), wonderful shaded yard and unique bar area. The buildings available for the bridal party were perfect for our sized wedding party. We had a food truck for our main catering and it worked out perfectly. Just a beautiful day at this lovely unique setting. I would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing venue that can be casual or kicked up a notch!

    The Barnstone's reply:

    Thanks Jen, we appreciate the compliments and it was a pleasure working with you and all your family and friends.

    Great Experience

    We were very blessed to be able to book this date with The Barnstone. This was not our original venue but we are so happy it became our venue. From the moment we booked this everything went so smoothly. The Owner is super helpful and easy going. He made it such an awesome experience for us from start to end. They have so many great features and decorations you barely have to decorate! We received SO many compliments of how beautiful this venue was. They have amazing places for you to get ready with your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Such a awesome feature! Our wedding was 10.10.20 and to say it went great was an understatement. It was amazing and we couldn’t have had such a great day without such a great venue. Definitely 10/10 and would highly recommend!
