I wish there was a way to give The Bliss Barn at Sherwood Forest MORE than 5 stars. This place is so much more than a venue. My now husband and I were treated like family from the second we stepped into the venue for the first time. When we booked our date, the barn had not yet been completed, but we saw the vision for what Tammy and her staff were creating. Along the planning process, so many resources were given to us to help make planning our wedding easy! From the beginning, there was clear communication and quick responses if there was something we needed. They were even willing to allow us to bring our own ideas to life for our day! When we walked into the venue for our rehearsal dinner, we were blown away. You can tell that every detail of this venue was created with so much love, thought, time, and care. It is truly breathtaking from the bridal party suites, to the outdoor ceremony space, the reception space and even the farm around the venue. Beyond just the looks of the venue, the staff truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect! Everyone was so kind to us and made our party so memorable. The venue owner, Tammy, was there for us all day long, ensuring everything was perfect for us. Our day would not have gone as smoothly and perfectly as it was without her. We love her and everyone at The Bliss Barn. We could not have imagined tying the knot anywhere else. We will forever be reliving this day over and over in our heads!
The Bliss Barn Sherwood Forest was a dream-come-true location for our daughter, son-in-law, and our families. Tammy, Megan, and their staff treated us like family and made our entire weekend one we will forever treasure. The property is absolutely beautiful and created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. The bridal suite is stunning—truly one of the most impressive we’ve seen—and every detail of the venue reflects the care and thought that has gone into it.
From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations and offered so much more than we ever imagined in a venue like this. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and meaningful wedding setting.
