We cannot recommend The Barn at Glistening Pond enough!!! We hosted our wedding out of state and DJ, Denise, Mary, Kristen & Michelle helped us design our absolute dream wedding. From planning table charts to centerpieces, they helped us with every step along the way and are such kind, genuine, friendly people. Not to mention, this venue is STUNNING!!! It has everything from rolling hills, a pond, firepits, and just the most beautiful barn you could possibly imagine. My husband & I were so sad to leave our own wedding because we had the most amazing experience working with the people at The Barn. Thank you for everything!!

The surrounding vistas amplify the already gorgeous aesthetic at The Barn at Glistening Pond. Across the rolling landscape, couples and their guests will be able to spot a charming stone silo which acts as a picture-worthy background. Inside the barn, a warm glow is provided by hanging chandeliers and string lighting that is draped purposefully around the architecture. The interior of the barn showcases 30-foot vaulted ceilings, get-ready rooms, and timber beams that provide a sense of nature within the building. Acting as the threshold between the inside and outside, the stone patio boasts an outdoor fireplace, ideal for cozy nighttime gatherings or exchanging pleasantries over cocktails.

We are so extremely happy with our choice of picking The Barn at Glistening Pond. Every aspect of my wedding day was perfect because of them. We had rain all day and it was a litt...
le muddy, and they figured out a way to out down mats for us so the girls didnt have to walk in the mud. They just go above and beyond to make everything great for you. Denise was so easy to communicate with and made sure to go over every detail. Her and her team created beautiful decor that had my guests raving. I had so many people tell me it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been too. Dj was so helpful the day of our wedding. He made sure guests got to the right place, did all the beautiful lighting and just overall was there for anything we needed. Every time i visited the venue during the planning process, they were adding something new. They had added all this extra coverings outside to accommodate any bad weather. I was amazed at how comfortable it made me feel. Rain or shine, this is the place you need to book!! Highly recommend!

Where to even start---The Barn at Glistening Pond is the most incredible venue, and their team is second to none. We reached out in Summer of 2019 for a September 2020 wedding--whi...
ch we then had to postpone because of the C-word and Denise never batted an eye. As our new date, of October 17, got closer Denise was super helpful and attentive to all of our questions and requests. And this was all before the wedding even happened. On WEDDING DAY, Denise and her team were on top of EVERYTHING, making sure the day went smoothly from the first moment of setting up. At night, DJ took over as venue coordinator and he continued to ensure that our day and night went as amazing as possible (he even pulled out all the stop and managed to produce a showstopping double rainbow)! NOW, let's talk about the venue. STUNNING--SIMPLY STUNNING, and they have everything that you could possibly need to decorate the barn to make it just as you want. Run, don't walk to the Barn at Glistening Pond. I promise you will not be disappointed.

This barn was by far the most beautiful venue that we looked at. They had a ceremony barn which overlooked a pond with a beautiful fountain and swans. The reception barn was by far...
the best barn that we looked into for our wedding as well. It was one of the only in the area that had air conditioning and full wheelchair accessibility, which was incredibly important to us.
I mean, the photos of this place can speak for themselves, but what really made it amazing was the attentiveness of the owners. Denise went above and beyond to make our day super special. She met with us on very last minute notice (on my end) the week of our wedding. I'm also a person who didn't have a great vision of all of the small detailed decorations - I just gave her a general vision and a color palette and she decorated the place beautifully. We really only had to worry about the flowers and a few other additions. The other incredible part is as far as decorations go - I really didn't have to buy many because she has hundreds-thousands of decorations stored in her barn for free use for the day.
Our guests were in awe with the beauty of this place and our photographer got some amazing photos here. We would highly recommend the barn to anyone looking for a beautiful rustic style wedding.

thly. I hardly had to lift a finger. They have a basement filled with decorations. I honestly only spent money of photos for our wedding and no other decorations. They helped me pick out decorations according to my style and set everything up... The venue is breathtaking. I honestly couldn’t have had a more perfect night. Its so gorgeous I could live at the barn.

From the first moment we saw this venue, we knew it was the perfect space for our wedding. The land is huge and gorgeous with so many picture and event locations. The ceremony barn...
can be decorated however you like and can support any kind of weather. The reception barn was decorated beautifully. Guests had ample space to move around and hang out. Both DJ and Denise were SO helpful to us and we had an amazing wedding because of them.

Amazing!! From the venue to the staff we had the best experience with The Barn at Glistening Pond! DJ, Denise, and Bernie were so welcoming and easy to work with. We were initially...
put on the wait list because all dates were booked for 2018 for the fall, but they were able to squeeze us in with a cancellation which we were so excited about! Any time I contacted them with a concern or question they got back to me right away. They allowed me and my family to view the venue whenever we wanted, as long as we were out before the day's event started. DJ had such a vision and so many great suggestions that were helpful in planning out our day. Denise was amazing and was able to lend a hand setting up, which helped out soooo much! She definitely has an eye for decor as well! Really any request we had, they were able to accommodate! The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. The barn is completely remodeled and they have air conditioning and heat depending on the weather so with our late fall wedding, our guests were never cold. They also have uplighting installed which saved us some money upfront because that was on our lists of 'must haves'. It was raining all day for our wedding, so I was initially bummed that we wouldn't be able to get outdoor pictures, but they have a small barn that was recently remodeled (just next to the reception barn) that we were able to take our photos in, and they are amazing!! I am actually glad it was raining or else we never would have been able to capture such amazing pictures--not to mention that the rain kept our guests inside and on the dance floor all night long! We literally had the most amazing day and are SO THANKFUL for the awesomeness of the staff and beauty of the venue! Thank you Barn at Glistening Pond!!!

d us to set up the day before (Friday), for our wedding on Saturday. They made sure that our tables were set up and ready for decoration, helped move new pieces into the space, and did everything in their power to make sure that everything ran smoothly. They also allowed us to leave everything Saturday night and come back on Sunday to clean up/pack up, since there wasn't another wedding happening right away. They were so very kind and accommodating of all our needs. Prior to our wedding, they responded to emails in a timely manner and answered any/all of our questions. I highly recommend them, and their venue! It was absolutely beautiful, and our wedding couldn't have been more perfect!

The Barn at Glistening Pond was even better than we could have dreamed. The location itself is so beautiful. There are a ton of amenities (indoor and outdoor bathrooms, a dressing ...
room for the bridal party, an outdoor rolling bar as well as an indoor bar, a lofted seating area etc etc etc. The owners who coordinate AND staff the event are detail oriented, nice, and excited to help make your day go smoothly. DJ gave us catering recommendations that helped save us a bunch of money. We also got married at the barn and they didn't charge us anything additional for the ceremony. They are selling out way in advance, but if you're thinking about getting married here- do it.

This venue was absolute perfection. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and never looked at another venue. From the gorgeous stone patio, to the massive deck to the stunning...
interior, this was the ideal setting for a rustic wedding. The staff was beyond accommodating and stayed on site the entire day to make sure every detail was taken care of. The lighting, tables and chiavari chairs were all included and we were able to bring in our own alcohol, which was a huge plus!
We luckily had perfect weather so we were able to get married outside in front of the fire, got beautiful pictures all over the scenic setting of the barn and our guests were able to enjoy the deck all night. The on-site bridal suite made getting ready a breeze and allowed me to be on site all day to make sure deliveries were coming in correctly. I would recommend this venue 1000 times over. My only complaint was how fast my perfect day went!
