This barn is gorgeous, there's no doubt about that and there's no wonder why you can fall in love with it when looking for a wedding venue. BUT don't be fooled, the pictures online ONLY advertise it when it's decorated and wedding perfect. This barn is nothing more than an empty shell with a useless, greedy, lazy management that has no interest or care in customer satisfaction. They have a handful of picnic tables, a handful of barstools, broken pews, and some rickety tables. No decor upstairs in the barn whatsoever. When asked if the venue was able to move something for us, Patty (I think is her name in the office) responded "oh no, this is a DIY venue" and offered no guidance what so ever. Patty also ASSURED us that the dirt patch directly behind the barn would be grass by our big day (something we hoped for because that's where we wanted our ceremony to be) and by the day of it was nothing more than dirt and weeds. Half the grass in the front of the barn was dead. She never even showed up the day of to check on things at the venue. Whenever we asked questions about what we could do (which isn't much because the stipulations that go along with this place are absurd), getting a straight answer out of management was impossible. If you're the type of couple who values supporting strong businesses with fair customer service values, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU. I felt like "The Big Day" was more of a big inconvenience for the people who run this venue than anything. They only care about weddings and couples who can afford to pay for professionals to set up and run the day. Anything else is beneath this company, at least that's how they came across to me. Due to my experiences , I don't believe that this venue is worth the time of day, no matter how pretty it is.
