If I could give Cottonwood Barn 1 billion stars, I would. From beginning to end, Rayen, our coordinator, was very professional. helpful, and communicative with us about all of our...
questions and concerns that come with wedding planning. Day of, she was so helpful with unloading decorations, helping with setup, and tackling any problem that came up. After our ceremony, Jennifer took over, and was the sweetest and so willing to help with everything! AShe made sure we got food, kept in talks with our DJ, and made sure we stuck to our timeline, and was helpful cleaning up after we left! Our experience with Cottonwood was nothing short of perfect, and we couldn't have done it without the help of their incredible staff!

The venue itself was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I barely had to decorate it because it just provided the beauty. However we did have 2 different day of coordinators(who the venue provid...
ed) and the morning gal was amazing. So helpful and really took things into her own hands. However our night shift coordinator was quite the opposite. Didn’t take charge and didn’t go by our itinerary. She was barely to be found during the whole reception. I felt like I had to run my own wedding, and my sister in law ended up stepping in and took charge. It made my reception very stressful for my husband and I. We still would highly recommend this wedding venue, but we were disappointed in the lack of leadership from the night shift coordinator.

The new owners of the venue are amazing. They really care about the couples that have their events at the venue. The venue itself is gorgeous and a must see when looking at venues....
It is further away from big towns but it was nice to have exclusive access to the venue and great locations for lodging. The property is beautiful with outdoor ceremony space, lake for fishing, and 44 acres to get your perfect picture. Although it’s a barn any style of wedding would look perfect at this location. The pricing is spot on with everything you get. They can also do any kind of event you need a venue for at a different price point than a wedding. Highly recommend checking it out!
