Pond View Barn is STUNNING! The natural beauty of the property creates such a dreamy feel to your wedding day. Barb and Randy are an absolute pleasure to work with. They helped with everything from setting up, advice, parking, etc. You can tell they LOVE what they do and it shows! The best part, you get the venue Friday-Sunday, allowing you and your partner time to just soak it all in. Can't recommend them enough!

Barb and Randy are two amazing people. They did everything a happy couple can imagine. They have done enough weddings to know how to fit everyone comfortably yet in a matter that the wedding party is easily visible at the reception and the ceremony. They also take so much stress off with help on Friday set up, Saturday with helping with finishing touches, and Sunday with take down of the whole set. Also with only doing one wedding a weekend they are allowing you not to stress with everything in one day. I highly recommend booking with Pond View Barn and if you do make sure you watch Barb for some awesome dance moves.

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to have our wedding reception. Barb & Randy are very accommodating and down-to-earth people to work it. Anything we needed, they were happy to help with. They even went above and beyond in many areas by cutting up wood to use as our center pieces for the tables to hand delivering a mug that one of the groomsman left behind. They are very kind and wonderful people and the location was everything I dreamed of for what my wedding would be like. It was perfect for having that country/rustic/barn style. Also, if you’re looking into having around 250-260 guests, the downstairs worked out WONDERFUL for our family and friends. We had about 50-60 guests seated downstairs, and it was very comfortable for them and a low-key environment. Pond View is not only affordable, but also a gorgeous location with wonderful people to work with. We were also given plenty of time to get things set up and tore down from Friday to Sunday. Hands down, best day ever, thanks to Barb and Randy.

Pondview Barn was the most wonderful location to have our wedding reception. The owners Barb and Randy were absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I planned our wedding from 400+ miles from this location and Barb and Randy ensured that planning the reception would be smooth---and they fulfilled this promise! The wedding reception planning went out without a hitch. Barb and Randy were quick to respond to e-mail inquiries and allowed us to come to the barn location as many times as we needed to review the space, plan seating, decorate, etc.
We reviewed several different venues prior to selecting Pondview Barn and my husband and I were frustrated by the short timelines that many venues give you due to booking several weddings in a weekend (e.g., the earliest you can enter the venue is at 1:00 PM to decorate and everything needs to be removed from the space by 11:00 PM that day). We did not experience any of these limitations with Pondview Barn---the owners are very accommodating and are invested in making your day as special as it can be. They even joined our family in helping set-up tables, prepare the space, set-up decorations, and clean-up the following day. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
The space itself is beautiful! The main level and loft are beautiful and fulfill the barn ambiance. The lower level was well-loved by our guests as it is filled with spaces to seat around the fireplace and for the children to play with toys. The outside patio is beautiful! The space and the owner's make this place a 5 stars option for weddings!
