My husband is a wedding photographer and I am an artist, so when it came to picking a venue for our big day we were pretty particular. We knew when we visited the venue and met the... owners that it was the place for us, after months of looking without success. Barn Swallow met every requirement on my checklist: a beautiful outdoor ceremony location by a creek with big swooping trees, a solid backup plan in case it rained, a cocktail hour location, and a big beautiful barn for our reception. I'm a very indecisive person, but I wrote our deposit check the night we saw the venue because I didn't need to see another venue after that. You can see from the photos on their website how beautiful the venue is, but what you can't see is what amazing people Kim, Rob, and their children are. They went above and beyond to help us make our perfect day happen. They're the kind of people that felt like old friends from the first time we met, and by the end of the wedding felt like family. Having them at the wedding was so reassuring, and they stepped in and solved a couple mishaps with other vendors without hesitating. They helped set up, made sure everything fit with our vision, and just really did way more than we expected of them. If you're looking for a beautiful rustic chic reception venue, do yourself a favor and go check this place out and set a date!
