I’m sharing my experience touring this venue so other couples can make an informed decision.
I arrived 30 minutes early for my scheduled tour and ended up waiting an additional 30... minutes past the start time. The person who showed us the barn was not the person I had been communicating with, and there was no notice of the delay or change.
While waiting, I learned that a significant portion of the property is actually a private residence not affiliated with the venue, which was never explained beforehand. I spoke directly with the homeowners, who confirmed this, which made the experience confusing. I attempted to contact the main venue contact and her mother (who helps run the venue) multiple times with no response. Eventually, the owner’s husband arrived to conduct the tour.
I was previously told a county sheriff is required if alcohol is served, but I was not informed until the tour that the couple must pay $60 per hour out of pocket for this requirement.
Overall, the lack of communication, late arrival, unclear property boundaries, and undisclosed fees made this experience feel unprofessional and disorganized. I left feeling like my time was not respected.
