As far as the barn goes, its stunning. Everyone talks about its beauty and the facility. All are gorgeous and clean. I just got married here in February. The staff that clean and communicate with you when touring and on the day of the wedding are all sweet and nice and so helpful !! As far as the awful even coordinator Jera Gilmore, she is a down right witch at times. You get no phone calls from her unless you go above her to the city and call complaining about her lack of phone calls. I had to do that after sending 7 emails with no response and 5 voicemails in 5 days. I will mention they were work days during morning hours so its not like I was calling late in the day. Finally my friend called the city and I instantly get a call back. She didnt apologize for the 5 day delay on getting back to me, she instead chewed me out about calling the city cause it makes her look bad! Well, she isnt doing her job. I was trying to rent the facility and it books fast so if anything you think she would be on top of making the venue money and booking the dates as quickly as she can. That was the ONLY verbal communication I ever got. In emails she is very rude and short and comes off horrible. She made me so scared to deal with her that I had to have my husband and mother in law email her. Now we signed a contract stating 2 weeks for our return on the deposit to our card. Well two weeks has come, and nothing. I emailed Jera, got a response from her Assistant, who I should mention is sweet in emails, but never calls you back. They stated it was on the card but it isnt and its not being held by my bank either. So now I know we will be dealing with them for awhile trying to get our deposit back. Decorating rules come off crazy but honestly we did so much and it was easy. And you just use zip ties. They are a life saver. I love how are wedding came out, people had an amazing time. Just know that you wont get the sweetest responses and no communication from the coordinator

I shot a wedding here a couple weeks ago and already cant wait to get back there for another. The beauty of this venue is that you can have a "country" feel to a wedding and nobody would ever know that you werent out in the country. The venue has several little areas for wedding party photos and the spot within the barn makes for a great looking ceremony. The reception room is large and provides plenty of space for the guests. I love shooting with silhouettes so the barn doors make for a perfect spot for photos of the Bride. The red exterior wall of the barn also makes for a great spot for wedding party photos. Check it out, youll like it.

Friend is going to have her wedding here in July. It seems like a very good place to work with. Its cute and have good facilities. Its going to be a beautiful place for a wedding. I did think it would be a little more secluded but there is a shopping center across the street and a parking garage behind which isnt cool.

A nice place to park your car have a cup of coffee and you can walk to little Trail they have in the back beautiful little spot....... Very clean no restrooms no garbage cans so please pick up your garbage

Although its called a barn it is literally next to the parking lot of Costco...it is more of an average small town park and rec community center.

Beautiful and functional venue for a wedding. Four stars because the barn was COLD. TURN ON THE HEAT!!!!
