My husband and I got married in October of 2022 at The Barn and we had the wedding of our dreams! We can't recommend this venue space enough! The owners are incredible on meeting your needs and helping you through the planning process and day of coordination. I loved that we were able to decorate the space the way we envisioned and wanted. All our guests loved it and we had such a fun night celebrating our love! We had about 135 people in attendance and there was plenty of room to seat everyone and we cleared space for a dance floor. Thank you so much to the zwicker family for helping us have an incredible wedding!
