My daughter's wedding was at Good Tymes Barn in October. The weather was 'crisp' to say the least, but at least no rain. We only had to decorate the tables because the lighting and the ambiance of the barn were already there naturally. The b...
artenders were more than accommodating and very friendly to all of the guests. After reading some of the reviews about Connie the owner, I think that they were either highly exaggerated or she has mellowed out a lot since then. We never had any issues with her. In fact, she was more than accommodating with our needs/requests and even gave us some tips on how to set things up. After all, she has been doing this for a long time so we leaned on her expertise to help keep the ceremony and reception running smoothly. As for the reception, we barely saw her other than sitting in the cold all bundled up directing people where to park. And speaking of that, she made sure to direct anyone with special needs to VIP parking so they could get in and out of the venue quickly and safely. So if it's a rustic venue you are looking for at a reasonable rate, I highly recommend Good Tymes Barn.

I had my dream wedding at the Good Tyme Barn. Everything was perfect. I cannot say enough about how beautiful this venue is. The owner (Connie Smith) had so many wonderful ideas that fit perfect for my wedding. She has a lot of experience and ...
her knowledge was such a blessing. She has a great staff. They all are willing to go above and beyond their scheduled duties. My guests were treated beautifully.

Beautiful place - bad owner. I should have listened too all the bad reviews before I even ATTEMPTED to contact this place. I have been emailing them for almost a month with NO ANSWER. Finally I decided to call today. 'Connie' picked up the phon...
e, was extremely rude and short with me. I let her know that I have been emailing them and getting no response, so she replies "That's because I haven't checked them." Oh that's great for business! I asked a few more questions and got sick of her attitude so I hung up. Don't waste your time.

I was one of the groomsman at my friend's wedding that had their wedding and reception at the Good Tymes Barn. As soon as we showed up the day before the wedding to decorate the barn, she (Connie) started taking control and barking orders, tell...
ing us where she wanted the decorations rather than where we wanted them. We put 2 liter bottles of pop in the sink and covered them in ice, she didn't "like it that way," she took the 2 liter bottles back out and dumped all the ice. She gave us a hard time for us having two kegs, she has one kegerator and we wanted another keg in a tub of ice with the typical hand pump, she complained that the bartender will not want to use the hand pump (the bartender was very nice and was happy to accommodate). She stayed at the reception for 85% of the time, bugged the bride to see if she can have some food from the caterers, charged a few hundred dollars extra to have the wedding there which did not require any extra work on her part. Pretty barn, but because of the owner, it turned out to be a sour event. If she would just relax and make herself scarce it would have been a phenomenal event.

Barn setting is beautiful for a rustic wedding. The venue owner, Connie, however is terrible. Connie was unprofessional in everything. After working with Connie for an entire year in planning the wedding, abiding by all rules in our contract...
,and having approval for all decorations, drinks, etc., this venue owner did her best to destroy the entire event. Connie was rude to our guests, rude to our outside vendors (DJ & Photographer), rude to parents of the bride/groom, and even more terrible rude to the bridal couple. She back-peddled on everything we had agreed upon by contract, demanded things be done her way, even down to the decorating and order of songs. Took away all water even though it was 85 degrees because she might have to pick up a water bottle, and spend the entire evening doing all of this in a dirty pair of cut-off sweat pants while circulating and attacking our guests. This venue owner, Connie, does not deserve to be in business. I have never experienced such unprofessional behavior in the course of a business transaction. Connie presented herself as a coordinator of the event instead of a venue owner who should have kept herself in the background unless there was a question or problem. Our guest list consisted of 80% adult family & friends and 20% of young people in their 20s who were friends of the bridal couple. None of our guests were unruly, rules of the facility were followed to the letter, and we left the facility spotless even though clean-up was part of what was paid for in the contract. I cannot say enough negative things about this venue owner. She ruined what should have been a wonderful day for me, the mother-of-the bride. Our DJ announced his company will never work this venue again due to Connie's behavior. If you want to have an event where you sit in a chair and have someone tell you when you can move and how to move then this would be the place, however I do not recommend this venue. This is NOT SO GOOD TYME BARN.
