The location and look of it is worth the venue cost, but the staff are not worth what they are charging. The one and only thing I'll say about Kim, she understood we were funding the wedding ourselves, and was willing to cut certain things, suc...h as cocktail hour. Though, to be honest, we really didn't want one even if we did want to spend the money on it.
I got married there in May of this year and up until the wedding I was told all these wonderful things by Kim. Then, 2 days before my wedding I met Becky, the actual coordinator. Who had not been filled in by Kim on half of the arrangements, so I ended up doing a lot of the decorations myself.
I had been told by Kim that the 8 days leading up to my big day would be "stress free", though she YELLED at me for something that was a mistake on their part, made me feel like hell again and again for having a smaller guest count, and then Becky was constantly coming into my get ready room to find out "what to do with the guests that were arriving"... Isn't that your job? Isn't that what I was paying for? And isn't that something that should be dealt with BEFORE my wedding day? I had guests randomly coming down and popping into the get ready room (which is on the ground floor)... Why were my guests just randomly exploring when there was supposed to be a set place for them until the wedding started?
Also, my brother had to go convince them to allow my wedding outside. Granted, I know it rained right before the ceremony, but both me and my wife agreed we didn't mind a little rain and wanted to go outside IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. So my brother had to go talk to them and be like "hey, you said if there's even a 5 minute window, we're doing this outside, it stopped raining about 20 minutes ago and we're about 10 minutes after this was supposed to start!" So, yes, we got married outside, and in a light rain. NONE of my guests cared, and actually said it was gorgeous how it looked. My photos show the same thing.
Overall, like I said, the barn and the views are great, but there are many places in the area that look just as good or better, believe me, I did look around. And you might find a place that will actually do their part when it comes to the big day. We deliberately went with them because trying to get a wedding together in 5 months would of been hard, which is why we thought that having someone do stuff for us would be great, but seeing how we/I still did a lot of the work, it wasn't worth it. Now, if you like blowing your money away for not a lot in return, this is a great place to get married. Good luck having a dream wedding you always wanted though.
Wait staff really were not all that friendly either. My wife and I were not served first, and though it was family style, it still was our big day, and I feel like that is something that should of been done as kind of common sense. Also, they had me do a seating chart, and list diet restrictions. I get it, but why have a seating chart if you're going to go around and get everyone's food preferences. That's what the seating chart with restrictions was for. Also, they didn't even know I was vegetarian, though I had strongly emphasized it many times. Come on now. Really? We could of taken photos for longer, but they wanted us to come for our introduction, then we waited another 15 minutes because they were "getting people's orders/restrictions"...
Very unorganized, and not the way someone shelling out that kind of money should be treated.
