My wedding was absolutely perfect, and all the guests loved the venue - the barn, sparkling lights hanging from the rafters, stained glass, and beautiful fields. It was the most pi...cturesque place to get married, and Evergreen is a great area, because it's still in the mountains but not too far from Denver.
However, my experience with the employees of the barn was far less favorable. Since day one when I booked the venue and signed the contract, the primary accountant there would send emails threatening to cancel our reservation if we didn't sign additional papers by a certain day. I must have received 5-10 emails from him throughout the year before my wedding (including one two days before) threatening to cancel our reservation, not allow our caterers to enter, etc. Working with him was a nightmare, and really added to my stress.
Another complaint: they are very ticky-tac about pricing. Compared to other venues we looked at, the price to book the barn was good, especially since you can bring your own caterers, your own alcohol, etc. However, they have a lot of hidden charges. For example, you are required to clean the barn after your event (yeah right) or you have to pay extra. If you want electricity to the Fields, you have to pay $75. You are required to pay for parking attendants if you have more than 100 people attending. The list goes on. Just plan on paying much more than you expected.
Overall, I can't imagine my wedding going any better, the day went off without a hitch, and it was a beautiful location. I just wasn't prepared to be treated like that (as someone who had correctly filled out all paperwork and sent in all payments on time) by my venue. Hopefully I was the exception, not the rule!
