The Grand Belle was a dream come true for our wedding day. It was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we pictured for the most important day in our lives thus far. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a barn wedding. Kim was a tremendous help the day of making sure that everything was ready. She was there to help our many family members get everything in order. We are thrilled our wedding turned out so amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We are grateful for your kind words and are glad that your wedding was all that you pictured. Thank you for allowing us to share in your wedding day!
My daughter had her wedding at the Grand Belle and the place was lovely. They were very helpful with putting up some special decorations that my daughter wanted, including hanging some greenery from the ceiling beams. Mike was very helpful at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. It was beautiful!
My only complaint is that it often took days to weeks to get a response from the coordinator which was frustrating because there were times when I needed an answer quickly. I'm still leaving a 5 star review because I feel the positives outweighed the negatives of this beautiful venue. If Grand Belle can work on response times, it would be perfect.
Grand Belle is a beautiful venue. The owners were super helpful, especially on the day of. Had so many compliments!
Any questions?
The Grand Belle is absolutely beautiful! The owners made sure everything was exactly how me and my wife wanted it to be. They will accommodate when and where possible. We could not have asked for a better venue to get married at!

We are thankful for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share with others about your wedding experience at The Grand Belle. We enjoyed being a part of your beautiful wedding day. We wish you much happiness as husband & wife!
Owner - "Mike" is currently threatening us, contract with them expired in November we have no obligation to them and do not want to have our wedding there. Mike never spoke or interacted with us until he decided to call my fiancé at 9 pm threatening us for money.
Kim was great to work with and went above and beyond the day of our wedding and helped us set up all our decor we brought. The Grand Belle is such a beautiful venue with vintage and rustic appeal from the restored barn to the pieces of furniture in the ladies dressing room. It is air conditioned which is such a huge bonus when seeking a barn to marry in. I did not hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator and thankfully I had great friends, family and Kim to help make our day run flawlessly and relieve me the bride of stress.
The Grande Belle was the perfect wedding venue! Our son was married here in September 2020 - the owners were fantastic to work with from the very start and informative / accommodating as COVID modifications were required. They have a true love of the barn as it has been restored authentically and modernized where needed.
We held the ceremony outside under the trees and the setting was wonderful. Dinner and dancing were great inside the barn under the barn lighting. The bonfire outside late evening was a bonus.
Also, the bride and all the girls used the suite upstairs to get ready. It was an ideal space, away from everyone setting up, to have hair and make up done.
Literally, nothing could have gone any better on the wedding day from the first moment we arrived to when we cleaned up and left. We LOVED it! Highly recommended.
Our son and daughter-in-law had their ceremony and reception here. This place is amazing! Absolutely Beautiful inside and outside. It's so hard to believe this was actually a real functioning barn back in its day.
They kept as much as possible of the original state including the huge, front door. They have new updated restrooms that keep the "barn look"down to the paper towel dispensers.
I would describe this as Rustic Elegance. You litterly only need to decorate your tables, it's that beautiful on its own. Make sure to ask for the chandeliers!
The owners are so easy to work with and they guide you through every step. Do not hesitate to make this your chose for your occasion. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget they have a lower level as well.
I also want to say, the bartender, Cindy, was the best! We also hired one of the caterer' s from his approved list, Sherry's Catering. The food was fresh and delicious!
Amazing venue! Owners are kind, easy to work with and accommodating. Beautiful well maintained area for pictures, eating, dancing and celebrating. Indoor/outdoor and basement areas make social distancing possible for guests who need that option. It was the most perfect day ever. Highly recommend booking your wedding or event with the Grande Belle.
The barn is gorgeous! I first fell in love with the bridal suite. The vintage/rustic feel was exactly what I was looking for! The barn has AC and heat and clean bathrooms which was important to us. The owners Mike and Kim are incredible people. If you want to see a vendors true colors look at how they treat their brides during a pandemic!! We had to postpone due to COVID and they were so supportive! No hidden fees, hassle or anything! They made accommodations free of charge (added a tent for outdoor dining, let us make adjustments to guest count super late, spaced out ceremony seating, etc). I cannot say enough positive things about these people and their staff! They stayed the entire day and night to make sure everything ran smoothly. Kim and Mike gave us our dream wedding.
Emailed them 8 times and called them 3 times and nobody would get back to me about pricing or setting up a tour. Very disappointing.
The Grand Belle was an exceptional wedding venue. My husband and I fell in love with this gorgeous and rustic barn. It was the ideal location for our rustic but elegant wedding we had envisioned. The venue was heated well for our chilly October wedding and it was stunning with the fall colors. The bridal suite up stairs was the perfect space for my bridesmaids and me to get ready together. The staff at the Grand Belle was outstanding. Sarah was easy to work with and answered any questions that I came up with. The staff helped break everything down at the end of the night which was a huge blessing after a long day. It was such a pleasure working with the staff of the Grand Belle. They truly made our rustic wedding come to life!
My family had a wonderful experience with the Grand Belle. The guests kept commenting on how lovely the venue was and that they loved the site. I would recommend Grand Belle to everyone!
The Grande Belle was an amazing place to have our baby shower! The barn is one of a kind! The inside is gorgeous and all of my guests were talking about the venue for days!
The owners and staff are wonderful to work with. They were so thoughtful, detail oriented, and professional. I would recommend this venue to everyone! The inside and outside are so well maintained. This is a place that will make your event so memorable.
I have served as the Officiant for several weddings at The Grand Belle and I am happy to say the venue and staff are wonderful! They were attentive to the couples needs and assisted in any way possible. It was a pleasure to be at such a beautiful venue.
I got married 8/24/2019 The owner/ coordinate were so easy and helpful to work with. The venue exceed our expectations. From the start Sarah was very informative, Mike the owner helped us set up and take down. It was such an amazing day and most perfect venue to go along with it.
I loved everything about this place!!!! It was the first barn wedding I've ever attended and it was just beautiful!
We held our daughters wedding at The Grand Bell. It was beautiful! There is a wonderful upstairs room for doing the bride and bridesmaids hair! The grounds are beautiful for the ceremony. Everything went smoothly from the ceremony, dinner, and dancing! Highly recommend this venue!
The Grand Belle was amazing! Such a beautiful place for both our ceremony and reception. My bridal party enjoyed the bridal suite for getting ready all day. Both our hair and make-up teams came to us.
The venue provided us a warm, cozy yet spacious place for our guest to celebrate. They enjoyed an evening bonfire. Our bartenders were friendly and kept the lines moving. The venue staff worked well with our vendors. It is such a beautiful place to take photos. A little decorating or a lot the venue is beautiful. The venue gives you fhe feeling like you are far away but is close to home. We can't say enough about how wonderful and magical the venue made our day feel. The venue staff was very helpful from start to finish of the booking and day of.
We knew the Grand Belle was the perfect venue for us right away. The barn and lawn are beautifully kept and spacious, the space allowed for indoor and outdoor components to our dream wedding, and the staff was responsive, helpful and hard working throughout the planning and final event (thanks Sarah and Mike!). Highly recommend this venue.

Janel & Seth,
We are thrilled to hear that your dream wedding came true at our venue! It was a beautiful day! We appreciate your fabulous review so that other couples can have their dream wedding come true at our venue as well!
It’s an amazing venue! It’s so beautiful on the inside and the owners are just wonderful to work with! They have a space outside where you can get married and they set it all up and that was just gorgeous, they also have a downstairs which can be used as cocktail hour so a three in one!! My wedding was the best day of my life!!!
This venue was just beautiful! The owners did an amazing job on the building and did an amazing job with being there for us and helping us with anything and everything! They made sure my day was perfect and it truly was!
We just had our daughter's wedding at The Grand Belle on October 27th. We couldn't have been more pleased! The entire staff at The Grand Belle was so accommodating!! The venue itself is spectacular! 5 STAR RATING! We highly recommend this venue for your wedding. Every guest that I spoke with that night had nothing but great things to say about The Grand Belle. Love, love this place! All questions were promptly answered. All of our needs were met beyond expectation. They are kind and respectful. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughter's special day. Thank you GB!!!!! Continued success to you all!!!
I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place at The Grand Belle! I was in absolute awe at how beautiful this barn was! The pictures don't even do it justice. Stunning must see! Everything went so smooth from start to finish, and it was a dream come true for my beautiful friend!! I highly recommend this wedding venue to all brides looking for the perfect rustic touch, with a whole lot of elegance at the same time! :)
The Grand Belle could not be anymore of a beautiful venue. I was in love the first time I went to look at it. My wedding day could not have been as amazing as it was a lot a different location. All of our guest loved it! Not only is the venue amazing, but the staff is great as well. Always there to answer questions I had. Frank was the staff member we had for decorating time and day of wedding and he was amazing! The sweetest man ever and willing to help with anything! He made me feel like he was part of our family! Could not have picked a more perfect wedding location
Absolutely stunning barn! I knew the moment I first saw this place I absolutely wanted our wedding to be held here! The owner did an impeccable job of updating this barn but still keeping the older rustic feel. The property is always kept beautiful , green grass and flowers in the appropriate months of course. The staff and owner are very open to anything you might want or desire on your big day or event! They really went the extra mile for our wedding. I couldn’t have been happier with this choice as our venue:)
The Grand Belle is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue, classy with the cool barn look to it. The owners were very welcoming to us right from the start, and after learning more about the history of the barn itself we wanted to book with them right away. In the midst of all the planning, they were sure to answer all of our emails thoroughly and professionally. The owners gave us a bunch of suggestions regarding vendors and what previous weddings did in certain situations. Most of the suggestions we ended up using for our wedding. The day of our wedding was super beautiful and with The Grand Belle’s helpful staff, everything got done in time. We did not rent the downstairs and we do not regret it at all, there was absolutely no need for the extra space in our case. People were able to be outside with the photobooth and the bonfire. For the people who consider getting married at The Grand Belle, I would point out that the upstairs room is for the bridal party only, so groomsmen need to get ready somewhere else. The barn door itself will be closed all the time because of the AC which kind of divides the party in two. Also, if you have your ceremony on their lawn, we had our seats facing the street. This may be a turn off as we had a lawn care company begin to mow the property across the street from The Grand Belle. At the end of the day everything turned out to be awesome, and once the sun went down all the lights outside and the bonfire looked absolutely magical. We recommend this venue warmly to everyone.
Family run business. Very warm and friendly. Guided us every step of the way and very attentive on our big day. Barn is grorgous and our guests raved about it. We would recommend this venue for your wedding
We had a wonderful experience having our wedding at The Grand Belle. It was a beautiful location. We really didn't need to bring in much for decor, because the venue itself is just so gorgeous. The photos we took there were phenomenal. It feels like a rural setting, but is tucked away close to expressways and more populous areas, so it was really convenient for our guests. I liked the flexibility of being able to bring in your own food and drinks. The owners were very easy and accommodating to work with. I am so glad we began our forever here!
I absolutely LOVED this place!! The barn is so beautiful and the area around the barn was gorgeous. The owner answered all my questions and was very thoughtful and gave me GREAT ideas for my wedding!! I highly recommend this place! I am so excited !
Thanks again!!!

This is a gorgeous place with the wonderful staff! I loved my sister’s June 2018 wedding. She had a wonderful time. The bridal suite on the top floor is the perfect place for pre-wedding pictures. An overall fabulous place. Highly recommend- definite 5 stars!
The Grand Belle is the best wedding venue! It was the best decision I made when planning my wedding. It is a total DIY venue and they are totally supportive of whatever your vision is. With the Grand Belle as your venue, your wedding will be beautiful no matter what additional decor you have. Sarah, the coordinator, is so sweet and helpful with any questions you may have. The owners were amazing to work with on the day of the wedding. They make sure that you have everything taken care of and I had no worries, whatsoever!
I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to plan a wedding and work with wonderful people for their special day!
