Our wedding at Hydrangea Blu was truly one of the most beautiful days! Their new owner Kristine and her family are so sweet and genuinely want you and your guests to have a perfect...
day. We used Noco for our catering, the food was delicious and all the staff through Noco were great to work with. We loved our bartender and server Laurie!! Sarah was wonderful, meeting with us in advance to make sure things were setup and ready to go for the big day. I can’t imagine our wedding anywhere else!
We had our wedding at Hydrangea Blu this past weekend and we had the most amazing time.
Their team is so kind and thoughtful and really went the extra mile for us. Sarah was a tru...
e blessing. Anything we were hoping for (signature drinks, special photos, ect ) she brought to life and was so supportive.
The new owners were also lovely. They allowed us to come to the property often, were very helpful in getting ready the week before and also left a very thoughtful gift for us the day of the wedding.
They were so respectful of our privacy and made sure to double and triple check everything with us!
We could not have asked for a better experience!
My husband and I got married here on August 20, 2022. I can't say enough wonderful things about Hydrangea Blu that goes beyond the beauty of the venue. The wedding coordinator Grac...
e went above and beyond with her communication, organization, and care as we prepared for one of the most important days of my life. She ensured that everything was planned as I requested and kept lines of communication open (which was so important to a bride who has some slight perfectionist tendencies). When there was a major staff change I felt she bent over backwards to ensure that I was 100% happy just mere weeks before the wedding. Major kuddos to her partner in crime, Jenna, who ran the show on the day of the wedding and despite a torrential downpour, made my wedding day flawless and so smooth from beginning to the end. We had an absolute blast with the staff of Hydrangea Blu (and the owner Ryan is a top-notch guy), the food & beverages catered through NOCO provisions were fantastic, and so many of our decorations were set up and provided for by Hydrangea Blu which made planning so much easier. I have made so many wonderful memories at this venue that I will never forget and I am so blessed to have been able to be a bride at this property. Grace, Jenna & Ryan (as well as everyone else involved in my wedding) - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for everything you did to make my wedding day special. 10/10 would recommend if you are even considering an outdoor venue of any kind. They will take the best care of you.

Katy the owner is absolutely amazing! The property where the barn is, is where her house is. So her family takes pride in this property and making you feel special on your big day!...
Katy does an asking job from the day you book to the very last minute of your wedding! The property is amazing and is always well kept! Couldn’t have had a better venue to get married at and have a reception at! Thank you Katy so much for everything!
Katy and her team were an absolute joy to work with! The venue was maintained beautifully - we couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect space to celebrate our big day!
Hydrangea Blu is an absolutely gorgeous venue. I am SO happy I decided to choose this barn! I received so many compliments on how lovely it was. Katy, the venue owner, was very hel...
pful and accommodating throughout our whole wedding process. She met with us multiple times to go over plans and details and had great advice on things we were unsure of! She was very flexible with us on when we could drop things off and pick things up (I choose the weekend package). She gives you a list of preferred vendors to use for the caterer, bartender, and tent, which I thought was helpful so I didn’t have to look into tons of different companies. It does cost an extra fee to use a different vendor.
Our wedding day went so smooth and perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing! Definitely recommend this beautiful venue! She also allowed my dog to come and be apart of the ceremony which I was very thankful of! :)
Hydrangea is amazing. The ladies who run it work so hard throughout the day to make sure that everything is going smoothly. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that has everythin...

My Husband and I got Married at Hydrangea Blu Barn on August 27th, 2016. We chose to rent the property for three days, Friday through Sunday. Rain was in the forecast for the whole...
weekend and Katy, the owner, allowed us to come Thursday and drop things off even earlier. When the day of our actual wedding came, she had multiple back up plans in place and would not let the rain play a negative factor in our day. She ensured that myself, my husband, and our guests would be taken care of. Luckily, the rain stopped right before our ceremony and did not come back for the rest of the day and evening. This day was without a doubt the best day of our lives, not only because we were marrying each other, but we were doing so while celebrating with our loved ones at such a beautiful venue. Everything about Hydrangea Blu Barn is breath taking and simply made our day that much more memorable. The owner Katy, as well as her assistant, Tanya, went over and beyond what we could have ever expected from them to ensure that our day would be worry free. Mine, as well as my husbands expectations were highly exceeded. Till this day we are receiving compliments from our loved ones on how beautiful the property is, as well as our wedding and how smoothly everything was ran. Everything came together perfectly and I would recommend Hydrangea Blu Barn to any couple that is looking for the ultimate rustic barn wedding venue.
I have waited a long time to write this review because in doing so it makes me reflect on my wedding day and it makes me very sad. The owner of this venue presents herself as a swe...
etheart and then as the wedding day approaches she becomes less and less available and even quite mean and rude to you and your guests. I don't want to say that she ruined my wedding day but she did taint my memories. She took away my chance at a happy relaxed wedding day. On the day of the wedding I received several complaints from guests about how she had missed treated them. By the end of the evening she had been yelling at us to get our things out because she wanted to close down. Before the wedding she had told us that we could leave our things there and collect them in the morning on Sunday. But the night of the wedding she changed her mind and we had to rush around to throw things in boxes and shove them in cars so that she would not take our deposit. However when I was on my honeymoon she emailed me to let me know that she was going to take our deposit. She claimed that there was a gate to a fence broken and that there were cigarettes everywhere. This was simply not true. However there was no discussing it with her and she just went and cashed the check. She even went so far as to keep our leftover alcohol and refused to let us (meaning my sober parents) take it home on the night of the wedding or to come back and get it on Sunday. At one point during the wedding night her husband came out in his underwear and started shouting at us. If it wasn't for all of my beloved family and friends I probably would've been crying. However I refuse to let this ruin my memories of my wedding because it was a beautiful day. I urge you to consider how you want your day to be and how much you're willing to risk before booking this venue. If I could do it all over again I would do it somewhere else where the memories of my wedding could be intact. I wish that I had had that calm relaxing wonderful experience that I hear about from other brides. There's so much more I could tell you but you can imagine the rest. Good luck in picking a venue I would not recommend this venue to anyone. Don't be fooled by the false charm.
Very happy with our experience. The staff were very helpful.
I just wanted to write a quick review to say that we were just at a wedding here and there was a potential tornado. The owner and staff were so helpful and gracious and helped ev...

ttentive and very caring. All of our guests loved the venue and I loved how the photos turned out. I can't speak highly enough about this venue.
Terrible experience. The venue is beautiful and we had a wonderful time, because we got married and were with everyone we love! But, the sweet kind owner I had met in the first fe...
w meetings had become a rude, inconvenoenced flake. Her attitude was so bad that atleast 2/3's of our guests complained to us about her treatment of them. So, unfortunate to pay that much money and have the person you are giving your business to disrespect you and your loved ones. I would NEVER recommend to ANYONE.
Do all barn weddings need to be rustic themed? Absolutely not! Hydrangea Blu Barn is an absolutely lovely venue that allowed my husband and I to fulfill our dream of an elegant and...
COMFORTABLE wedding. HBB has an absolutely WONDERFUL staff who made me feel as if I were their very first bride. They are so attentive and supportive! I could not have ask for a more gorgeous venue. Thank you HBB.
Very disappointed with the experience and definitely do not recommend. Very pretty location but also pricey compared to other locations. The owner was very friendly and accommodati...
ng during setup along with her interns but the day of the event and afterwards she became quite different. She made a huge water mess during dinner in the walkway where 200+people had to walk because of a spill (accidents will happen and it's not known if it was a guest or the caterer who dripped) and kept the bride's deposit all for uncontrollable situations. She says 1 reason was due to guests drinking their own alcohol, 2 was because something red got spilled on cement and 3 was because there were black marks in the road (not her property). There were no warnings and initially she stated the deposit would only be lost if she gave 3 warnings. After paying $5000 to rent I don't see where any of these reasons would require an $800 deposit to be kept unless there were actual damages. They require you to use their vendors so if it was their caterer who dripped something they should be liable, also the cement should be treated and cleanup should occur the following day when a pressure sprayer can be used, not during dinner where 200 guests who are freezing due to cold temps/high winds have to walk through a wet mess to get their plate. Very unprofessional.
Our experience was just great at Hydangea Blu. The owner and the staff were very professional
And very friendly. Our guests had a great time and the barn was absolutely beautiful....
The ceremony was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We had a beautiful day and we will always remember Hydrangea Blu Barn.
I have had a wonderful experience planning my wedding and the owner, Katy has been nothing but helpful! My wedding will be held at this beautiful location and we can not wait!
I tried setting up an appointment to see the place; after a slow line of emails back and forth, the owner just stopped getting back to me. I guess business isn't that important the...
