Awarded Best of Zola
This venue is absolutely breathtaking. The scenic mountains were the perfect background for my husband and I’s wedding and the barn was equally as stunning. So much thought was put into the design of the barn and every little detail was thought out. The bridal suite is massive and has everything you could need and more to get ready on your big day, including a salon chair! The groom’s quarter was the perfect place for the guys to hangout the day of and has a TV and bar. The barn itself doesn’t feel like just any other barn venue; it’s rustic but so elegant at the same time. I can’t recommend this venue enough and the owners are the most down-to-earth, easy people to work with!

The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, Rebecca was incredibly on top of our needs and communication was never an issue - she was always there if we needed her. The venue itself was spacious, accessible, and accommodating, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to contribute to the success of our wedding, like playing our ceremony music (which was one less thing for us to worry about) and providing silverware for our buffet when our caterer forgot. The Barn at Elk Shoal Creek is truly the best and we couldn't recommend them more highly.
