“The Milestone Barn is PERFECT. Lets dive in. I was a bride on September 16th, and it was all my dreams come true. Carolyn, the owner of the venue was extremely clear and informative about her rules and expectations of the barn so there was ZERO misunderstandings. She communicated everything perfectly, and really helped us out with the planning process and making everything work for us. She was so kind, personable and helpful. The venue ITSELF, was perfect. I had a wedding of 130 people and it fit everyone accordingly and comfortably. My pictures turned out amazing because of the beautiful barn, the decorations and scenery. Everything about this venue was beautiful and it really made me fall in love all over again on my wedding day. It had plenty of room to get ready too, us girls were a MESS hehe. But I have ZERO complaints. It was perfect.”

“My fiancé and I were planning to have our celebration at country barn and estates . However, we ended up delaying our date to a future date . We were planning to do a Cannabis themed celebration, which by the way Country barn & estates are fully open to & supportive of . In the year 2022 you would think more would be , but surprisingly not many are . So if this is a desire of yours as well , this might be the place for YOU . We had planned to do the “white barn “ which is a beautiful space . Not only is it a very large space, you also have access to the cute little horse trailer bar & fireplace as well . Not to mention LOTS of outdoors space . The ceilings are a nice touch & the bathrooms were super cute ! The gazebo with the white bridge across the pond is the perfect place for ceremony or a place for guest to enjoy a moment under . We figured it would be the perfect spot for our cannabis bar . As a added bonus the guest house is also available. Which makes finding a place to stay after the celebration effortless . The Coordinator Bonnie is a sweetheart & will go above and beyond to ensure your special day is nothing but flawless ! Upon learning a little about Bonnie , I learned it was her dream to do a job like this . So you know her heart and passion will be working for YOU . If you haven’t booked , BOOK now ! Shana & Fred”
