The Four Seasons Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding! Beth and her staff were incredibly responsive, prompt, precise, and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. On the big day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything stress-free. Beth and my wedding coordinator Katie were a true dream team, working seamlessly together to setup and execute our vision. The venue itself provided stunning backdrops for our ceremony and reception, with beautiful outdoor spaces and all well-maintained. Using their rentals also saved us a lot of money. I cannot recommend the Four Seasons Barn enough - between their fantastic communication, seamless execution, and gorgeous spaces, they were integral to making our wedding day perfect! 1000% recommendations this place!

I want to start by saying I was not at all looking for a “barn” or a “rustic” place to get married. The Barn at Walnut Creek is so much more though... the space is so versatile that you can really make it more modern inside, or stick with a rustic vibe. It’s such a beautiful venue, so we were excited when we found out how reasonable the pricing is—much lower than some of the other upscale venues in the area. The bridal suite was amazing to use on the day of the wedding! The bar space was perfect, and the restrooms are really nice too. All of our guests loved the space and had a great experience overall! The owner was wonderful to work with—she was so helpful throughout the entire planning process! I recommend this venue highly!

Catering off-site events can be difficult, but Jeanne Fleming made it a breeze. We, as caterers, were able to communicate easily with her from when the wedding planning began through the day and evening of the event. We were able to work together in a way that gave the bride and groom nothing to worry about on their special day. I have been recommending The Christy House after discovering how great they are to work with!

They faced a heck of a challenge in getting the materials they needed for projects around the building due to COVID and worked long days to get it done in time.
