Iron Manor by Walters Wedding Estates provided an incredible space for our wedding day. The venue was elegant and modern, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. While the communication from the venue staff was sometimes great, Jillian, the day-of coordinator, took care of everything seamlessly. From the 4-5 month mark to the day, I didn't have to worry one bit about timing or logistics, as she ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The value we received for the space was incredible, and we're so grateful to the Iron Manor team for helping make our wedding day truly special.

There are so many great qualities about this venue! First off, the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. From the back porch, the double sided fireplace, all the lighted trees, the cute courtyard and of course the beautiful chapel and reception hall. There are so many places for guests to go out and explore during the reception. Second, the wedding coordinators and staff are so nice and care so much about making your wedding day exactly how you imagined and stress free. Olivia S. was our coordinator and she went above and beyond for us during the whole wedding planning process and our actual wedding day. It would not have gone as smooth without her! I was not stressed the day of our wedding at all because Olivia was handling everything. I cannot say how thankful and grateful we are for everyone at Big Sky Barn. If you are looking for a wedding venue this is the place to go!

We got lucky to grab this venue from another bride. It was amazing. The only issue we had was that when we arrived, the reception area was not set up like the picture that i sent that they asked for the week of. It was simple, with how many chairs and tables needed. The morning girl was AWFUL. BUT another lady came in and she was amazing. The owner was amazing and any communication needs and questions i had, they answers gladly. I highly recommend this place.

Autumn was amazing - she made our wedding day run smoothly, and I don't know what I would have done without her. The venue was stunning and magical, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how unique and special our wedding was. I wish we could have had more time to celebrate.
