We got married at Tall Timber Barn in June, and though this review is long overdue, we can’t recommend it highly enough! Instead of eloping, my wife and I decided on an intimate ga...
thering of just 12 people. From the start, the venue was incredibly responsive and more than willing to accommodate our small group.
As soon as we arrived, we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding. The setting is rustic yet charming, tucked among the forest and rhododendron thickets of the Poconos, which created such a beautiful backdrop for photos. The day was more magical than we ever could have imagined. We also loved having access to a private “getting ready” cabin, which made the day feel even more special.
Michelle, our day-of coordinator, was with us every step of the way. She struck the perfect balance of being easygoing and meticulous. She took care of the fine details and made sure everything flowed seamlessly, which kept the day stress-free for us.
We were able to customize our menu for cocktail hour and dinner, choosing from a list of suggested options (with the flexibility to add our own ideas). Everything from the charcuterie board to the hors d’oeuvres to dinner was fantastic! We brought our own booze and cake, and Michelle and her team took care of the rest.
The venue itself is thoughtfully designed for peace of mind, too. While the outdoor space is absolutely gorgeous, the barn is available in case of rain, and there are bathrooms for guests. We also appreciated having the freedom to hire our own photographer (Zak Zavada), florist (Imaginations Florals), and stylist Renee's Salon in Wilkes Barre), which allowed us to add our own personal touches to the experience.
All in all, it was an absolutely magical day. If we could, we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!
When my wife and I began our wedding planning process, she was uncertain about the complexity and cost of a “full” wedding. However, everything changed when we visited Tall Timber ...
Barn. Her eyes lit up, and from that moment, we were had a dream of a wedding in the pines. From beginning to end, Michelle was the ideal coordinator. She was communicative and reassuring and had everything under control! This venue is everything you could dream of in a rustic, outdoor wedding. Despite the rain on our wedding day, Michelle and the staff were able to adapt dynamically right up until the last moment, pulling off our perfect ceremony and reception. All of the staff were enthusiastic and helpful, and Ralph’s wedding feast was superb. Their well-established reputation and connections with many vendors in the Pocono area were incredibly helpful! If you envision a magical forest wedding followed by an evening of dancing, warm fires, and lively conversation, Tall Timber Barn is perfection!
P.S. If you’re concerned about rain on your outdoor wedding day, don’t be. They’ve got it covered.
I recently got married at Tall Timber Barn and WOW from the very first day we toured the venue, we knew this was going to be the place we got married. It's nestled perfectly in the...
woods. The beautiful backdrop of the woods is simply breathtaking. I specifically communicated with Michelle during my planning and she is amazing. She was extremely responsive to all questions and gave excellent recommendations for our big day. We also had Heather and she made sure our wedding day went smoothly. Thanks to the amazing staff at Tall Timber, our wedding day was perfect. This venue is simply amazing and we both will look back on our wedding day and remember just how magical it was!

ly.
My biggest concern from the start was making sure we had great food that also satisfied the dietary restrictions of myself, my wife & our guests. Before signing the venue contract we were assured the chef would have no problem catering to a crowd containing many vegetarians, vegans and some gluten free individuals.
Upon invite to a group tasting (at an additional charge) I quickly asked what on the menu would fall under these specific requests and was told they would be working on the menu and would get back to me. Over a month later we got a simple response that asked us for our own specifics and ideas on what we wanted to eat and took this as a sign that we needed to pick something simple even if, at $95/head (before taxes & tips), I was grossly over paying for our ask. At the time I thought it would be a small price to pay to rest assured that we had chosen something seemingly impossible to mess up… and yet… they managed to completely fail at providing a simple TACO BAR.
The biggest tragedy was that THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD and BLAMED IT ON MY GUESTS for EATING TOO MUCH. We RSVP’d as a party of 87 and on the day of only 79 showed - and about +/-20 people got into the dining service to find nothing. When asked where the rest of the food was the “chef” told my father-in-law that he was “just a gun guy” and that he didn’t actually cook anything on site, just heated it up there (even though, with a full kitchen on site, we were lead to believe on site preparation would be the case).
The other massive misconception and deception was that we truly believed we were going to have quality food with fresh ingredients. We sure paid enough for it! Sadly the majority of it was frozen, canned and tasteless ingredients almost positively purchased at the local BJ’s. I specifically requested (and even made sure they put in writing in the banquet event order) “fresh sweet corn” & “extra sharp cheddar” and was still served canned corn and bland pre-shredded bagged sans-quality cheese. This was as much a slap in the face as when the “gun guy-chef” opened the fridge to show my father-in-law some hot dogs, what was left of the plastic store bought containers of pre-packaged guacamole and a little bit of chicken and rice offering that up as the only food left on the premises (aside from the deserts we had to provide ourselves).
Until the day Tall Timber decides to allow outside caterers I encourage you to look elsewhere otherwise you may find yourself utterly embarrassed and feeling completely ripped off on one of the biggest and most memorable days of your life.
Tall Timber Barn is a fantastic outdoor venue where the rustic elegance enhances the natural beauty of the wooded surroundings. All of our guests loved the unique decor and the rom...
antic indoor/outdoor setting. And the food was delicious! Ralph was able to accommodate all of our menu requests and made wonderful seasonal recommendations. The whole team was really accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks to Michelle the day went off without a hitch! Our only slight criticisms are that (1) we could have used additional seating options inside the barn and for the cocktail hour to accommodate guests with limited mobility. (2) There was a table at the wedding altar on the day-of that we had not requested and would have preferred not be there.
Overall, we and all of our guests had a wonderful, memorable day, and we would recommend Tall Timber Barn to anyone looking for a charming Pocono venue.
TTB is a magical place for a wedding. My husband originally found Tall Timber Barn online. What initially caught our eye was its uniqueness however the story behind TTB is what tru...
ly sold us. Michelle was incredible to work with while helping make sure we had covered every detail from start to finish. Ralph did an incredible job with the food and the grounds themselves are just awesome! Our guests couldn't express enough how neat the venue was and there's a canon shot! So so cool! Thank you again TTB for an amazing evening.
I cannot even explain how amazing our entire experience with TTB was. We had the most perfect day and it was all thanks to TTB. The staff at TTB all the stress off of us and had ev...

Mia’s eye for design shows in every small detail. In fact, they hosted a dinner over the summer for future brides and grooms, and the venue looked stunning just as she had set it up. After seeing how beautiful it was, I asked her to do the same thing for my wedding, and I was able to save a lot of time and money on floral centerpieces. I barely brought any decorations at all because I knew she had it covered!
Mia is very kind, helpful, and organized. She was a major help leading up to and especially on the day of the wedding. She was always thinking of things that I hadn’t. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day. This venue is unlike any other, it’s truly a magical woodsy oasis.
THANK YOU to Mia and Ralph for the best day of our lives!

me true. The first time I saw Tall Timber Barn I gasped and my eyes teared up as I immediately knew my venue search was over. Every meeting/visit took my breath away when I saw the location again. I was blown away on my wedding day. Mia was so wonderful to work with, she made my dreams a reality. Everything was amazing and beautiful. Almost all my guests said it was the best wedding they've every been to, and I surely agree!
We had our June 2017 wedding at Tall Timber Barn and it was the best possible choice we could have made! This venue should be everyone's first choice.
Mia and Ralph are absolute H...
EROES. They're not only warm and friendly, but they're also incredibly organized and professional. They go above and beyond to make you feel that they are just as excited about your wedding as you are, including hosting a dinner for all their clients to allow everyone to try their catering and spend more time around the venue. It's a blast!
Ralph handles the catering and makes insanely delicious food. We are still wishing we had left overs and our guests are still raving about how good the food was! They worked with us to customize our menu and even made some of our own personal favorite recipes. The food was also an incredibly good value!
Mia handles just about everything else - from planning details to decor to day-of-coordinating. I can't say enough about how much of a godsend Mia was throughout the entire process. She's very responsive via email throughout the entire planning process and is willing to offer help on everything from answering questions to recommending vendors. My family, bridal party and I were able to completely relax leading up to the wedding because Mia had EVERYTHING under control. She also does an incredible job coordinating all events the day-of. She ran everything so smoothly so my husband and I could completely unwind and just fully enjoy our day.
The space itself is absolutely gorgeous and needs very little decorating. What decorations you would like, Mia has the majority of. She also goes out of her way to set everything up for you so you really don't have to worry about a thing.
I can't say enough about how perfect Mia, Ralph and Tall Timber Barn made our wedding. We had to put in very little effort to have a pinterest wedding for the ages!
