It's no surprise that The Brownstone has won Best of Topeka and The Knot - Best of Weddings in 2020, in addition to being nominated for the best place for an event and wedding venue in 2021. We instantly knew we wanted to having our wedding her...
e from the moment we set foot onto the location. Your breath is simply taken away by the natural style and beauty of the place. It definitely is a one of a kind venue, with the ability to accommodate many types of themes, from rustic to whimsical and everything in between. On top of that, the venue offers an exceptionally affordable rental package with every imaginable item you can think of to help decorate to the theme you've selected. The rental package takes away from the stress of having to source everything yourself, and can help save lots of time and money.
One of the most important aspects to wedding planning is proper communication. We can attest that you will not find more friendly or helpful staff anywhere other than the Brownstone team. We are absolutely amazed at how quickly Jennifer responds to us and she's always so willing and eager to help. We adore her positive energy because it helps make us more excited for our special day. The team even went above and beyond for us, helping design a customized table layout for the wedding party and guests because we had a couple of special requests.
The experience with The Brownstone has so far been perfect. We cannot wait until our wedding day. I would 100% recommend this place for your wedding and/or future event.
The venue was extremely well organized and the staff was very knowledge. our event coordinator was so helpful and even gave us suggestions on things we could do. they worked very well with the other vendors at the venue (the photographer, DJ an...
d Pastor).
the only issue we had with the venue is that it has a fully equipped kitchen BUT with NO stove, if you are having food catered/delivered that is no problem but we were making our own food there and that made it difficult however we were informed prior to the event. so that is to no fault of the venue, but rather just something to keep in mind. Overall our experience with the brownstone was FANTASTIC! It was the best day and will be remembered forever!
Would definitely recommend this venue. GREAT price. Very friendly and helpful staff. Organized. Actual property is even more beautiful than the photos. Great indoor and outdoor space. Very clean and orderly on the day of. Everything flowed ver...
y smoothly and they were great about reaching out and making sure they had all the details correct. I did rentals through them too and they were very reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend and would choose this venue all over again.
Any questions?
The venue was absolutely beautiful! The staff was amazing and they made sure that the day went through without any hiccups. They were there to answer any question that I had. Highly recommend having your wedding here!!
This is by far an amazing venue. Apart from the absolutely beautiful and unique building, the staff are incredible! We are so happy we found such a good place with great people!
Love this venue and the team that works behind the scenes to make it beautiful! Booking/deposit process was super simple and I can’t wait to get married here next May.
I fell in love with this venue on Instagram and even more when we got to tour it. We instantly booked our wedding here not only because it’s beyond gorgeous but it’s not your typical Kansas barn venue. It’s elegant inside with so many rental op...

anned, Judy is an amazing day coordinator, the bar tenders are amazing, Margarita did an amazing job with taking my ideas for decorating and making them come true! Everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I pictured! Thank you so much to all the staff at Brownstone for making our dream wedding come true! We would highly recommend The Brownstone to anyone!!!
They were extremely helpful and professional. Always willing to help, no matter what it was.
After looking at many venues around Kansas City that felt impersonal, generic, and overpriced, we expanded our search and were so lucky to find The Brownstone. The entire team was so supportive of the vision for our celebration, were helpful wi...
th all our questions, and were a joy to work with on Wedding Day. We genuinely felt attended to and cared for throughout the entire experience from our first tour through clean up.
The Brownstone is the perfect sized venue for ~170 guests and provided so many great layout options for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Beverage packages were reasonably priced for the offerings and they nailed our signature cocktails.
A venue coordinator is there to support with everything needed for wedding day. The venue called all our vendors prior to wedding day just to double check everything (a real blessing during the busy week leading up to the big day). Judy was there when we needed her, lighting candles, tending to last minute details, and finding us a much needed box of safety pins.
The Brownstone is such a beautiful venue, elegant yet rustic and comfortable. The facility is great with indoor and outdoor options. Their use of the silo is so unique!
The options are great, such as beverage plans and decorations. It helpe...
d so much to rent items instead of purchasing our own!
They really help to organize yet stay out of your business. If we needed a table set up, they hsbfled it quickly. The coordinators were available, kind and helpful. The bartender was amazing! 160 people for one bartender and everyone was happy!
We are so happy we went with the Brownstone! I wish I could have another party just to go there again!
My Husband and I had the greatest wedding day! We have much appreciation for all the vendors that we had for our wedding! Everything was perfect with all the help of them!
The Brownstone is the perfect venue. Staff is professional and so willing to help make any dream a reality. The barn is beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous and there are so many options for indoor or outdoor celebrations. You will not be disap...

This venue was great! The coordinators day of helped everything run very smoothly, and the venue is so beautiful. Everyone pitched in to make it a special day.
Absolutely loved this venue! There’s so much character inside and outside you barely need to decorate. The staff was friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
Absolutely beautiful venue! The entire staff was so helpful and amazing and made the day a dream!! I cannot thank them enough!
The Brownstone is the ultimate dream for a wedding venue. It’s gorgeous, the staff are supportive, helpful and open-minded. Everything you need for your wedding, they have for you there to rent, and use on your big day. The convenience of this ...
really pushed me to book The Brownstone for my wedding. Who wants to worry about multiple vendors for decorations, linens, signage and more on their wedding day? Book The Brownstone, it is worth every penny!
Our wedding isn’t until September 2022, but our experience working with The Brownstone has been phenomenal so far. First, we had to move our date back a year and it was so easy to schedule and work with The Brownstone. They were so understandin...
g and companionate. Second, this weekend at a bridal fair Abby went out of her way to talk with a florist to make my desert themed wedding come true. Without me even asking. By the time I got to the florists booth they already knew what I was looking for and had already had ideas for my vision. I would call this going above and beyond! I’m so excited for our big day and I couldn’t be more excited to have our wedding at The Brownstone and to continue to work with the people there! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with amazing people.
The Brownstone is an amazing venue!! Everything went perfect for my husband and me all thanks to the amazing staff! Kelsey, our coordinator, was phenomenal and a joy to work with! She made the day special for us, and genuinely cared about makin...

Thank you so much McKenzie! We had the best time celebrating your big day at The Brownstone!
When I first walked into The Brownstone, I immediately saw my wedding taking place here. I pictured it perfectly!! My husband, Shawn, and I went to one of the open houses they hold every month when we first got engaged and fell in love with the...
venue! It was gorgeous! From the wooden floors to the high ceilings! We didn't even bother looking at other venues because this had everything we wanted! The two bridal suites, the grooms suite, multiple locations for ceremony options (both indoor and outdoor), a bar, and so much more! We booked them right on the spot!
As the wedding inched closer, Abby and her team were so friendly and helpful! We frequently emailed them back and forth multiple times, just asking questions and inquiring about potential problems that may come up. They were quick to answer and always available! Then, COVID-19 happened and Shawn and I were beginning to wonder if we were ever going to have that dream day. I had a lot of anxiety going forward and was constantly debating whether or not to post-pone... but, both Abby and Donna assured me that our wedding day was going to happen! And when September rolled around, we had our special day! And it was MAGICAL! I cried so many times not just because of all my friends and family being present but because it was actually happening! I was getting married to the love of my life! I had no worries, no stress, and it was everything I could have ever dreamed of.
THANK YOU ABBY AND THE BROWNSTONE TEAM!
As soon as I walked in The brownstone I knew that was the place where I was going to get married. I just fell in love with the conservatory. I started envisioning exactly how I wanted it to look end it was just so gorgeous. There were some prob...
lems with communication with the staff, they messed up my cake even though we went back-and-forth with them about my vision for the cake and they said they will make it happen. They made the cake the size and the style that they wanted and the cake was crooked. They made up for it with tons of delicious food and plentiful drinks.
My guests were raving about the food and how delicious everything was.
When I hear the words The Brownstone, I think of the best day of my life. I can’t say one bad thing about this place or the people that make it all happen. During this crazy time in 2020, the people with this venue made sure my day could happen...
how I wanted it, everyone I wanted to be there was there and safe, and everything was perfect! Best day. Best venue. Best people.
The Brownstone is truly the best place to get married ! Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but the staff is absolutely amazing! From the day I booked my wedding they were always checking in and helping every step of the way. I also had...
to cancel my wedding and move it due to covid and they were so helpful . With covid in place they were so thoughtful of the guests to make sure everyone was safe. The day of my wedding was crazy! It literally rained all day but that didn’t stop the wedding. The wonderful staff flipped my whole outdoor wedding inside in a matter of minutes! They truly were such a big help and I’m so grateful! If you are looking for venue , make sure you check out the Brownstone!
I seriously would recommend anyone and everyone to pick this venue! It was an absolute dream!! The staff is so wonderful and always available to answer questions. They truly make sure you have everything you need and then some!! I happened to f...
ind The Brownstone from a previous wedding our photographer shot. Once I read about the history and did the digital tour I was SOLD! The character that is has is so unique and unlike most barn venues. We didn’t have to do a lot of decorating because it’s a stunning venue as is. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to the coordinators being there throughout the day. It was truly a dream day! If we could do it all again, I’d pick this venue again in a heartbeat!!
Brownstone is absolutely the most beautiful Venue in Topeka , the staff went above and beyond. Our expectations and accommodations.
I attended a wedding at The Brownstone and it is beautiful for an indoor or outdoor wedding! There are so many wonderful places for pictures, and the barn/indoor space in absolutely beautiful!
When I first went and toured The Brownstone I knew it was the perfect venue for us. The outdoor ceremony options with beautiful wood work and amazing attached silo bar on the inside was so pretty, it was my dream venue. We booked and went throu...
gh rescheduling due to the pandemic, the office team was awesome at accommodating our needs throughout the entire process. They have awesome options at rentals that my guest really enjoyed such as the floral swing and outdoor games on the patio. Our decoration were a simple touch and the space felt so romantic on our special day. Our event coordinators were awesome, we had Judy in the morning that had a mimosa buckets and beer buckets ready to go and our afternoon coordinator was Margarita, she is super detailed and was fantastic through out the entire process. We had so many of our guest compliment our venue and how beautiful it was and how much history it had. We wouldn't have changed a single thing about our special day. Ladies looking for an amazing venue at a reasonable price, look no further The Brownstone is what you want!
Very accommodating to every need! From start to finish 5 stars!! Beautiful venue with great wedding coordinators and awesome bar staff!!
Having our wedding at The Brownstone was one of the easiest and best decision's of planning our wedding. The team at The Brownstone was always so easy and inviting to talk too. It didn't matter to them if I was calling for the 3rd time that wee...
k, they were always helpful in answering our questions and working with us throughout our wedding planning. For our wedding we had to work through COVID-19, Abbie was always so helpful in letting us know our options for our wedding, how to adjust plans if needed, how our guests will be safe with continuing on with our big day, and just made sure to make us feel as calm and comfortable as possible. Along with being so helpful with the long planning process, the day coordinators were just as helpful the day of. Everything with smoothly and as the bride, I was not stressed out about making sure things were set up in their correct positions or needing to set up tables and chairs myself. Not only is the staff at The Brownstone the best ever, the venue itself takes your breath away when you arrive. We loved having everything in one location from getting ready, to our ceremony, followed by our reception. I knew when I first visited The Brownstone it was the venue for us. The beautiful venue and amazing staff made our perfect day go smoothly and helped us fulfill our dream day. Thank you Brownstone, we loved working with you and couldn't have imagined having our big day anywhere else!
We are so glad we went with The Brownstone, even though it was a drive for us! They were with us every step of the way during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We had to reschedule from June to July due to the increase of cases and even though we had a mu...
ch smaller wedding than planned, it was still worth it! Always answered any questions we had as well! We looked at several venues and this was just perfect for our Modern and Rustic wedding. It was so easy to just stay at one location to get ready, take pictures, and party. They were so helpful the day of and cleaning up afterwards. If you're looking for a beautiful venue inside and out, this is it!! We can't wait for our pictures to come back. Thank you Brownstone!!!
The Brownstone team is absolutely phenomenal. Even before the pandemic hit, they were concerned about making our event the best it could be. The venue is breath taking, and the team truly cares about making wedding visions come to light. We lov...
ed that we could celebrate our whole day there, and so did our guests. We had the opportunity to get amazing photographs taken. The whole place is breath taking. The staff makes the day (and everything leading up to it) effortless for the bride and that’s what every bride needs. I highly recommend The Brownstone.
The Brownstone is the best wedding venue in Topeka! My husband and I got married here on 01/04/20 and everyone who attended our wedding raved about how beautiful the venue was! The staff was incredibly helpful with any questions or concerns tha...

Thank you so much Erin. We are so thankful for the amazing wedding professionals, like you, that we get to work with.
The Brownstone and their staff are amazing! Our day was perfect, every single detail went off without a hitch. Abbey was there from the very first phone call to answer all of our questions, and even checked in with each of our vendors a few day...
s before the wedding to make sure everything was taken care of (super important to someone type A like myself)
The dressing rooms are phenomenal and the designs so well thought out, they didn’t cut corners or leave anything out in the entire venue. It has everything you could possibly need or want.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, or a more perfect venue.

I loved everything about The Brownstone! It was everything I have ever dreamed of. The minute I toured the Brownstone, I knew it was the place I was going to hold my wedding and reception. The ambiance of the venue is everything I have ever dre...
amed of. I've always wanted an outdoor wedding and a barn for the reception; the Brownstone met all of my expectations! The staff worked with me for 14 months, from booking the venue until my wedding, answering all my questions, helping me plan, and giving wonderful suggestions. Judy, my coordinator was AMAZING! She made the day perfect. The day of my wedding, I was stressed because the wedding was outside and it was raining. At 5:15 the rain stopped and her and the other staff rushed to dry everything off so that I could have the wedding outside; the fireplace and arbor on the patio were wonderful touches. We rented a tent to have our dance outside, and we were provided with heaters as well. It was the perfect place and gave guests a variety of spaces to move to! The whole day and night of my wedding went so smoothly. Abbey in the morning did wonderful setting up, answering questions, and helping me prepare. During the wedding, Judy helped release the wedding party for the precessional, directed us for pictures, helped us with our introductions and made everything go wonderful. My guests raved about the venue (many of my out of town friends kept commenting and couldn't believe Topeka had such a beautiful venue!) We had two different bars, and it was perfect. All the guests had a great time! It was truly such a dream, and I'm so thankful for this venue and staff. Thank you for making my day perfect. If you are looking for an elegant barn, with rustic touches, outdoor and inside spaces, a wonderful staff, and a great location then this is your place!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2019
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words. This review just made our day. We loved working with you and your family. We wish you all the best in all that is to come!
My husband and I will recommend The Brownstone to everyone for any event. We were blown away by the venue and the staff.
Our story:
My wedding day came just three days after going through an emergency c-section and welcoming my first child int...
o the world. The staff at The Brownstone helped set up for my wedding day, called all my vendors to verify arrival times, regularly checked in on me to make sure I was doing okay, offered to watch our baby if needed, and honestly went way above and beyond for us. I'm not recommending to have a baby three days before your wedding, but if you do, the staff at The Brownstone will make it as easy as possible for you.
The staff/venue:
The wedding itself was gorgeous, owing most of that to the natural beauty of the venue. The staff did everything they could to make the wedding go smoothly: keeping the buffet stocked, breaking down the buffet, cleaning the dance floor, taking down unused tables/chairs, cleaning up at the end of the evening. We worked with a variety of staff members throughout the booking/planning/event day timeline and each person was as friendly and helpful as the one before them. Our guests even commented multiple times about the beauty of the venue and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
Also, two weeks after the wedding, one of the staff members saw us out at a restaurant and came to say hi and see the baby again. We thought that was nice!
We highly recommend!

eamed it would. The whole staff at the Brownstone went out of their way to make the day as magical. The facilities are great with every little detail thought out. The Bride's room to get ready is pamper perfect. We had many many people comment on how it was the most beautiful venue they had been to for a wedding. Not to mention, the pricing was within budget. Could not recommend more!
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2019
Thank you for making our day April! You were so wonderful to work with. We loved every minute of your big day!
You could not ask for a more beautiful or more affordable venue! I am seriously in love! I got several compliments from guests about the venue and our day-of-coordinator, Lisa, was super helpful with any questions I had before the wedding and ...
organizing everything the day of the wedding. I also loved that there were both indoor and outdoor options for the ceremony because you never know what weather will be like, especially in the summer. Of course, my favorite part was the two-story bridal sweet which left plenty of room for my eight bridesmaids and me to get ready. All in all an amazing venue, highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the kind words Megan! Your big day was perfect and we are so thankful to work with wonderful families like yours. Cheers to being a new Mrs!
I can't recommend The Brownstone and their staff enough! First off, the venue is breathtaking! All of my guests said they had never seen something quite like this place. Second of all, their staff went above and beyond for my day! I had planned...
our ceremony to be outside on the back patio, but there was a chance of rain. They set up the ceremony in BOTH inside the barn and out on the back patio so I didn't have to make the decision until about 10-15 minutes before ceremony time! About 30 minutes before my ceremony, it rained for a few minutes. The moment it stopped, they had leaf blowers and towels outside drying the seats so we could have our dream wedding outside! Everything was EXACTLY how I imagined it to be. They even worked with my mom to help fix our linen issue when the wrong linens got delivered. The bartenders we had were the life of the party, and our coordinator, Margarita, was absolutely incredible! She made sure everything went smoothly down to radio-ing her other staff to make sure the doors for my dad and I opened at the perfect time for us to walk down the back stairs and that everyone met at the aisle at the perfect time. If you are looking for a unique, rustic but elegant venue that is still close for guests to stay at a hotel, go visit this The Brownstone! You won't regret it.

The Brownstone is such an amazing venue. Beautiful space and beautiful people!
What an amazing venue. We only had to look at one place, one time (before it was even completed) to know that it was the one for us. Abbey and the entire staff at The Brownstone were so helpful in every step of the way. We planned our wedding f...
rom across the country. They were very accommodating, allowing us to come and visit every time we were home to get an idea of what we would do. There was not a moment during the day where I felt stressed or worried about anything regarding the venue. Our arbor fell 30 min before the ceremony, and the team at The Brownstone came together very quick to help get it back up and beautiful again! Our coordinator, Margarita, was the cherry on top of a perfect situation. She was very accessible, helpful, and upbeat. She kept everything running smoothly, without causing an ounce of stress. Our guests were blown away with the beauty of The Brownstone. There is no doubt that this venue will be a continued success. We are so pleased to be a part of this new venue and that we were able to have our wedding here!

Thank you Conner! You day was pure magic!
The Brownstone was actually the easiest choice we made for the entire wedding. We booked before it was even finished and had complete confidence in Abbey that it would be amazing when we showed up in March.
From the day of coordinator, Valerie...
, to the gorgeous bridal lounge, everything was perfect the day of. We knew the space was special so we did natural greenery and very few flowers and it was exactly the rustic chic type of atmosphere I had dreamed of. After sunset, the barn really came to life with the chandeliers and candles. It was truly something that all of our guests were wow'ed by and we couldn't be more appreciative. It's a great venue for a great price and we loved having our big day at The Brownstone.

Thank you Shelbi!
What a beautiful venue! My daughter got married here last weekend and the staff here go above and beyond. I had a remarkably stress free day due in large part to my event coordinator. I cannot recommend this place enough. Come and check it out...

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a beautiful day.
Such a beautiful venue! It met and exceed all of our needs. The bridal suite to get ready was perfect. So many amazing features of this venue is what really won me over when choosing this location. There is so much space inside and out to reall...
y give you the options you need on your big day. The staff was amazing!! Valerie made everything run so smoothly and was sure to check on me throughout the day. I appreciate her and the rest of the Brownstone staff so much! I can not recommend them enough. I could tell they genuinely wanted me to have the exact wedding I envisioned, and they made that a reality.

We are so thankful that you held such a special day at The Brownstone!
From the moment we saw The Brownstone, it was the venue of our dreams. Everything about our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Looking back there isn’t a single thing that we would change. Abbey and her entire staff handled everything down to ...
the last detail, and made sure that everything ran smoothly. A week before our wedding Abbey called each of our vendors to double check delivery times, etc. and then she emailed an itinerary (for type A people like me this is worth more than anything) she navigated different relationships, personalities and roles not only on the day of the event, but in the months prior as well. We threw a few changes to the layout the morning of the wedding, and her staff didn’t blink an eye. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and made sure that our special day went off without a hitch. The ability to adapt during a wedding/reception is definitely a skill your venue/coordinator should have, and The Brownstone nailed it. Their communication and follow through is top notch. We are forever grateful to The Brownstone for making our special day perfect!!

Thank you so much Heidi! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and it was an honor to be a party of it. Congratulations!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue or the staff! It was all fantastic. We booked last-minute and managed to pull off a 100+ person wedding in 3.5 weeks. Abbey and Val were incredibly helpful in getting that done for us, not to...
mention rolling with the punches when we needed things! Halfway through the dinner line we realized we were about 20 seats short. What did they do? Pull out two more tables, of course! On top of this amazing staff, the pictures do not lie. It is absolutely stunning. The two bridal suites, groom suite and beautiful outdoor patio are next to none.
I highly recommend this venue to any bride who is looking for a venue in Topeka. You won't find another like it!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved every second of your event!
We had our wedding in the fall of 2017 and it was absolutely amazing. Abbey and the rest of the staff were great to work with and the venue was beautiful. I would highly recommend The Brownstone to anyone looking for a wedding.

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Absolutely perfect, wouldn't change a thing.

We are so incredibly thankful for you both and that you could also see the vision for the venue. Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us!
The Brownstone is amazing!!!! I cannot say enough good things about Abbey and the Browns. When we first walked into the venue in January, there were no walls, only Abbey's vision that she described to us. We decided to jump at the opportunit...
y to be one of the first couples to book this beautiful venue. We were even more amazed when we attended the open house and saw the finished product! The entire time Abbey was in contact with us and made sure that everything was just the way I envisioned it. On the day of our wedding she was a big help and put my mind at ease. I cannot imagine how our reception at The Brownstone could have been any better! Everyone in attendance loved the venue and could not say enough about how beautiful it was. Thank you all so much for making our big day special and amazing!

Thank you so much Casey! We loved every second of your big day. Congratulations!
The Brownstone was perfect for our big day! We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, followed by an indoor reception. The staff at the Brownstone are amazing, and were there to help us plan every step of the way. Abbey is awesome, and is always ...
prompt in responding to email questions. We were allowed to come see the venue set up many different ways, and even allowed to come play with arranging tables ourselves so that we could come up with the perfect layout for our reception. On the big day, Abbey continued to be super helpful and one step ahead of us, anticipating our needs ahead of time. When it was time to cut the cake, she was there waiting with a knife because she noticed that we hadn't brought one! I really can't say enough good things, and there's not one thing I would've changed! Love, love, love the Brownstone and their staff!
The Brownstone was an amazing venue. Abbey worked with me so much before the wedding to make my vision come to life at the Brownstone. They were incredible! So many guests were commenting on how beautiful everything was. Several of the extende...
d family told me that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. (This family is also use to going to at least three weddings each summer) There is so much to see at the Brownstone and every part of it shines. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful wedding and the Brownstone played a part in making my dream a reality!
My husband and I were lucky enough to have our wedding at this incredible venue. The Brownstone went above and beyond to make all of our dreams and visions come thru. The staff, our coordinator, just everything was perfect from start to finish....
The venue offers everything- every vendor we worked with (our florist, makeup & hair people, caterer, photographer, videographer, etc), were just blown away by all the Brownstone had to offer. Not only that, but Abbey worked tirelessly at coordinating with each vendor to make sure the day of ran smoothly. As the Bride, I did not have a single thing to worry about- every Bride wants that for the day of their wedding! Our wedding party and family hung out at the Brownstone the entire day of the wedding and we all wish we had even more time there! Countless memories were made, and I honestly cannot speak more highly of The Brownstone. They managed to restore an incredible historic barn to a one-of-a-kind venue, while keeping it's natural beauty and history intact. We had 100+ people at our wedding and I can guarantee each one of them would vouch for the Brownstone and what a gem it truly is. -Kara Hanney
We held our daughter's wedding at The Brownstone in early June. This venue is stunning, rustic meets elegance. So much thought went into the restoration to this historic barn. The entire staff and Abbey the coordinator, were there for every...
thing and anything we needed to make our vision a reality. This venue has everything from 2 bridal suites, a grooms suite, beautiful landscaping, etc. I highly recommend The Brownstone for an unforgettable wedding.
