As parents, we've been to A LOT of weddings and we can honestly say we believe (and were told by guests) our son and daughter-in-law's wedding was the very best we've/they've attended and that's do almost 100% to Bliss Barn and their staff. We ...

cannot say enough about Bliss Barn...the staff, the venue, the beautiful grounds and accommodations - every single thing was perfect. For one price we were welcomed on Friday and assisted with decorating then hosted a seriously FUN rehearsal dinner in the barn. Accommodations in the farmhouse and Kelsey Inn just across the road were even better than anything we could have wished for the night before the wedding...absolutely everything we needed was provided and when we found we needed one little thing, Abbey Gunning went to Kohls and purchased it!! The wedding on Saturday was gorgeous and went flawlessly, again due to the professional staff at Bliss and the party that followed after? EPIC!! There wasn't a single request made that wasn't honored. Sunday clean-up was so easy and almost everything was done for us. We took our time and no one made us feel pressured to hurry and leave...and we really didn't want to! Abbey Gunning - you are THE BEST! Planning a wedding? You won't find better than Bliss! We're looking for a reason to book Bliss again and will tell all of our parent friends this one is the dream for their son or daughter's wedding.

The best venue around hands down. If you’re looking for elegant with that family feel…. This is the perfect place. Everyone at my wedding said it was the best wedding that they have ever been to.

Any questions?

Bliss Barn is a magical venue to have a wedding! I am a stylist that has worked several times for brides on their big day. The barn has been renovated from top to bottom and is finished off with the most beautiful couple of chandeliers hanging...

from the ceiling. Not only is the barn itself stunning, but they have an amazing house on site available. The house has rooms for the bridal party (or whoever the couple wishes) to sleep, a kitchen, eating area, living area, and a full salon for the bridal party to get ready. They really have everything for your big day!

We could not have been happier with the venue! It has so much to offer at one flat rate. The house was perfect to host our wedding party and some guests. We added the airbnb across the street for our family and it was just as beautiful! Our ...

Wedding Coordinator, Abbey, who was included as part of the package was a tremendous help! She gave us so many ideas with decorations, how to set up the layout, and cued into our style based on the items we brought. We highly recommend this venue as it is gorgeous and offers so much!

Bliss Barn is the most spectacular wedding venue! The scenery and property has so many picture perfect spots! The owner is personable and helpful, with any questions or ideas to make our day so special! One of my favorite parts about this venue...

is the decor room that was at my fingertips with amazing center pieces, signs, floral arrangements and much more! Another thing I absolutely loved about this venue was the number of places on the property for our ceremony to be! The English Garden has a gravel path, beautiful landscaping and a double door entrance from the barn! It is an amazing place to get married!

Owner

Inspired to renovate a barn that would otherwise be demolished, we created the Bliss Barn to cultivate memories that will last a lifetime. The Bliss Barn was named after the Bliss family, who used to own the property. I have spent many happy years putting hard work, dedication, and creativity to develop this vision. There is no greater joy for me and my family to host you and yours on your special day.
