Most perfect day :)

My wedding day really could not have gone any smoother and if there were any issues— I did not know about them. For that alone, I am so grateful to Aaron who we hired as the day-of coordinator. Aaron was organized, insightful, and did such a good job at telling me where I needed to be, what I should be doing, etc as we were going through the day’s timeline. Aaron, thank you so so much for all of your help.

The venue itself is worth every penny— it’s just absolutely beautiful and they have added some new additions to the grounds- including a gas fireplace which was greatly appreciated by my guests as it was a cold/windy day but we were still able to enjoy the outdoors with all of the gas fireplaces that were available.

Truly such a wonderful experience and i’m so happy to be able to look back on my wedding day with nothing but positive energy and love for how wonderful it was.

Beautiful Venue

We got married here August 3 2024 and it was perfect! The venue is beautiful, the service is phenomenal! I literally just showed up, got ready and got married - so stress free!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking! Don’t forget to ask for Aaron’s day of services, he literally made my day so easy!

Beautiful but Disappointing

We were thrilled to choose the Black Barn for our wedding. Having heard fantastic reviews, our initial tour only confirmed it – the venue is stunning. It’s evident that the family has invested tremendous effort into the landscape and design. It truly serves as a perfect all-in-one location for both the ceremony and reception. Additionally, unlike many other venues, there are no mandatory vendors or associated fees.
However, we encountered challenges in planning as various individuals were responsible for different aspects of our wedding. Moreover, our contract lacked clarity regarding the services provided and omitted, and our rehearsal dinner timeline was changed three times.
We also received feedback from several guests, vendors, family members, and our wedding party about the staff's rudeness and short tempers. One notable incident involved my brother accidentally bumping into a bartender, who responded with, “Be careful, you drunk!” Please keep in mind that my brother has been sober for five years.
When the owner inquired about our day, I tried to express our concerns, but I felt that our conversation was met with defensiveness and dismissal. After reflecting on this interaction, I decided to share this review.
Overall, while the Black Barn is a beautiful venue and we found some staff to be professional, the treatment of our guests and family did not meet our expectations.
I hope this experience at the Black Barn can be viewed as an “off” day, and I sincerely wish they become more receptive to the feedback from those they serve in the future.

Book with Black Barn!!!

Obsessed with this venue and everyone there! Madelaine was fabulous and so welcoming. And Aaron (day of coordinator) is an absolute must if you want your day to be flawless. The bar tending staff was extremely helpful and kind. All around a stellar experience and I cannot recommend them enough!

The Barn was our dream place to host our wedding!

The Black Barn is as an absolutely stunning venue. We could have chose a better place. It was the first place we actually looked at and knew it was the place when we first seen it. The Black Barn was very professional with hosting our day.

We did have a couple of issues. We had submitted a timeline to the Black Barn and thought they'd honor it. We had photos planned with each table of guests to be done but our photographer wanted us to run out for the sunset photos. While we we gone for some Unknown reason Black Barn took half the tables down and kicked people out of their seats. We still had another hour before our dances started and we wanted those guest photos at their tables. My new Wife didn't even get to try the dessert! Also we had certain drinks on our drink menu and the Black Barn bartenders said they couldn't make the drink, without orange juice. Even though the orange Juice was in the fridge.

All in all those are minor setbacks that we found annoying. However it didn't ruin our beautiful day at such a beautiful venue. Aside from those hiccups Black Barn really went above and beyond for making our day special.

The Black Barn

This family run venue exceeded my expectations! Aaron and Madeleine were incredible to work with and have a real passion for what they do. The venue was beautiful, the staff was fantastic, and I couldn't say enough good things about making the decision to get married here. This was the least stressful wedding I have ever been to... and it was my own! 10/10 for choosing Aaron and his decorative eye. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Wedding of My Dreams!!

The team at Black Barn truly helped me create and carry out the wedding of my dreams. Between the complementary hours of planning with their team to the day-of coordinating services that I quite happily paid for. I couldn't imagine a better wedding day! They went the extra mile to create a day I will be thinking about for the rest of my life. I adored every moment of my wedding day and cannot rave about this venue enough!

We got married at Black Barn in August 2023 and it was a wonderful experience! This is a family-owned business and that is what makes it special. Everything went so smoothly and Madeleine was so easy to work with! We used Aaron's day of coordination services and it was the absolute BEST use of money. He helped us so much with planning ideas in the months leading up and step up and coordination the day of. I kept thinking I needed to be more involved and helpful but it was already all taken care of. I truly had no stress the day of and that is all due to Aaron and his team taking care of everything. Overall, we had the best day and the Black Barn team was fantastic. Our guests had the best time and still comment on how beautiful and well run the venue was. Could not recommend enough!

Beautiful Wedding Venue!

From first viewing to our wedding Black Barn and their staff was amazing! They put so much time and effort into making the venue beautiful and made us feel so special during the planning process and the day of. The bridal suite and grooms garage are both perfect spaces and make for a stress free morning as you don’t have to worry about getting to the venue. The staff made set up easy and Madeleine ensured everything ran smoothly during the wedding! Couldn’t have asked for a better location for our wedding!
