When our daughter got married here 4 years ago, we could never have anticipated just how magical of a day it would be. Little did we know their wedding on our farm would plant a seed for what is now The Oak Barn at Loyalty. It's hard to put into words, but there is something really special about this place. Time seems to slow down. I guess you will just have to come visit to see for yourself.

There are truly no words that can fully capture how perfect our wedding day was at The Oak Barn at Loyalty. Yes, the venue itself is absolutely stunning—rolling hills, mountain views, the most charming Amish-built barn, and thoughtful spaces for every part of the day. But what truly sets this venue apart are the owners, Ernie and Barb.
From the moment we toured the venue, we knew we were in the best hands. Ernie and Barb are two of the kindest, most organized, and detail-oriented people I’ve ever met. They were with us every step of the way—before, during, and after the wedding—ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. Their calm presence and clear communication allowed me to truly relax and enjoy every second of the day, knowing that they had every detail handled. And they absolutely delivered.
The space itself is incredibly versatile and thoughtfully designed. Our ceremony felt intimate and picturesque with the stunning backdrop of the mountains. Our guests enjoyed a beautiful cocktail hour with plenty of space to mingle, and the barn was the perfect setting for an unforgettable reception. We also loved adding personal touches like a cigar bar near the fire pit, which created such a cozy, fun atmosphere for guests to unwind later in the evening.
The Oak Barn at Loyalty is more than just a venue—it’s a labor of love, and you can feel that in every inch of the space and every interaction with Ernie and Barb. They made our dream wedding come to life in a way we could have never imagined. Everything was perfect.
If you are considering getting married here — stop looking. You’ve found the place. I cannot recommend it enough.

We had our wedding at the Oak Barn in May and absolutely loved it! The venue was beautiful and perfect for our wedding and we lucked out with amazing weather. The barn is immaculate, well crafted, and has all the modern amenities you need. Working with Barb and Ernie was also great, as they are real pros who know how to work with all the support staff to ensure the couple has an amazing experience. We would highly recommend!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for our October 2024 wedding. The Oak Barn was the third and final venue we toured, and we are so grateful that there was one fall date still available for booking. Barb and Ernie were not only professional, but extremely kind and thoughtful. It was clear from our tour that they love what they do, and they truly care about the experiences of the couple and their guests. We appreciated the preferred vendors list and how involved Barb and Ernie were in the planning process. The Oak Barn is absolutely stunning year-round (although I'm partial to the fall foliage), and we received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. I 100% recommend The Oak Barn, and would get married there again if I could! Thank you, Barb and Ernie, for making our dream wedding come true!

Our daughter had her wedding reception at The Oak Barn at Loyalty a couple weeks ago on December 14, 2024. The venue was superb and was enjoyed by all. The two level barn was perfect for the cocktail hour upstairs and the dinner/dancing downstairs. The hosts were very helpful and provided a list of vendors we used for catering, DJ and cake/dessert. All of the vendors did an outstanding job. We were very happy with the reception and received many compliments from attendees of the event. We are happy we chose this site for the reception and would recommend it to others.

We got married at The Oak Barn at Loyalty this past October, and it was everything we could’ve hoped for and more! The venue itself is stunning—the barn is full of charm, and the fall colors on the property made the perfect backdrop for our big day. But what really made the experience so special were the owners. Barb and Ernie, the kindest, most supportive people, truly care about making your wedding day amazing. Whether it was answering our endless questions during the planning process or helping with all the little details, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They made us feel so cared for, like family. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with owners who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, The Oak Barn at Loyalty is the one!

Booking the Oak Barn with Barb and Ernie was the one of the first decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and it was the BEST decision we made. We were looking for mountain views for our ceremony, rustic vibes, and a venue that we knew would be accentuated by the fall leaves for our October wedding. The Oak Barn delivered on all those. It became a no brainer that we would have the Oak Barn as our venue after speaking to the owners, Barb and Ernie. They are the sweetest, most down to earth, and helpful people! They were so easy to communicate with and were always available. After booking the Oak Barn, Barb and Ernie provided a list of vendors for catering, florals, DJs, etc. So it made the rest of the decision making process so much easier. Wedding planning is obviously stressful, but I honestly didn't feel any stress in regards to the venue and how it would transform. Our guests were amazed by the beauty and charm of our venue during our wedding day. I cannot stress enough how perfect this venue will be for your wedding day.

Our wedding day at the Oak Barn was truly unforgettable, and we owe much of that to Barb and Ernie. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, even when the weather was unpredictable. Right before our outdoor ceremony, it started to rain. Barb and Ernie calmly approached us with a backup plan that allowed us to still have the outdoor ceremony we had dreamed of. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication to making our day exactly what we envisioned is something we will never forget. & the views and grounds at the Oak Barn are beautiful! The sunset view at the Oak Barn is stunning. We are so grateful to the Oak Barn team for helping make our wedding day magical.

My daughter and I spent weeks looking for the perfect wedding venue in Leesburg. Please save your time and book now at the Oak Barn at Loyalty and you will thank us. Not only is it a gorgeous venue but you get to work with amazing people (family now). Barb and Ernie are incredibly generous with their time and support and were very responsive throughout the process. They think of every detail, from immaculate lawn and landscape, providing spacious bridal/groom suites to stacking fresh wood for the fire pit!
But the real star of the show is the magnificent barn and all the spectacular views of the sky and endless mountains. We received numerous compliments from our guests and last but not least you need not worry about the weather because the barn doors close and is climate controlled and that eased our minds!

We couldn’t have asked for a more stunning venue than The Oak Barn at Loyalty for our wedding! From the moment we arrived, our guests were raving about how beautiful the space was. The natural scenery, especially the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains during our ceremony, made the day feel magical and picture-perfect. It was truly the venue of our dreams.
It was incredibly convenient that The Oak Barn at Loyalty offers two separate spaces for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready. This arrangement made the day run smoothly and significantly reduced stress for everyone involved!
When the weather took a turn and our cocktail hour had to be moved indoors, Ernie and Barb executed the rain plan flawlessly. We were so impressed by how smoothly everything transitioned. Not a single detail was missed, and the flow of the evening remained seamless. We felt completely at ease knowing they had everything under control, which allowed us to focus on enjoying our big day. The Oak Barn at Loyalty provides the best rain plan we’ve seen. It is well planned, spacious, and still provides incredible views of the outdoors.
Ernie and Barb are truly exceptional. From the planning stages to the day of the wedding, and even after, they went above and beyond to accommodate every request we had and they truly treat every couple like family. Their warmth and professionalism made the experience so enjoyable, and they even doubled as spectacular wedding guests themselves! We couldn’t recommend The Oak Barn at Loyalty more – it’s the perfect venue, run by the most wonderful people. Our wedding day exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you so much, Ernie & Barb!

My husband and I had our wedding here in July 2024 and could not have pictured a better day with all of our loved ones! We were looking for a “one stop shop” for our venue to include the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location. The indoor-outdoor feel at The Oak Barn gives guests an incredible experience, whether they are looking to dance inside the amazing temperature-controlled barn, grabbing a drink outside on the patio, or relaxing on the outdoor furniture by the outdoor fireplace and playing cornhole. Not only is The Oak Barn a stunning venue for your wedding, but the owners, Barb and Ernie, make you feel like part of the family. They have a wonderful, preferred list of experienced vendors that makes the wedding planning experience seamless. We would 10 out of 10 recommend The Oak Barn for your wedding!

Our search for the perfect venue landed us with the Oak Barn at Loyalty among other recommendations. As our daughter was living in Long Beach, California, and we were local in northern Virginia we did our due diligence and toward many venues over FaceTime with our daughter. The final selection came with no surprise as the oak barn was absolutely perfect. The owners, Barb and Ernie, were always part of the process. We knew from the beginning that this would be the perfect place!
Planning over the year leading up to the wedding was seamless. Questions and recommendations were always addressed timely. When our daughter Abby and her now husband, Charlie, were in town visiting, the owners were always eager to involve them and then invite them into the venue. Barb and Ernie were part of our family throughout the planning process!
Fast forward to the most perfect day! The support and recommendations that came to us will never be forgotten. If you are looking for a perfect place, filled with love, you should consider the Oak Barn at Loyalty!

This was THE BEST place we could have ever picked. My husband and I toured a few spots nearby but everywhere felt short of the Oak Barn. It is insanely picturesque with the 180 degree views of the rolling hills, high grass pastures, and of course, that barn! We loved how the bar area had their own space as it gave the barn a more elevated feel. It is the perfect combination of down home and elegant. Ernie and Barb are the best hosts- we always felt that they were just a phone-call away with all of our questions. They treated us like family! I am literally sitting here writing this review sad that it's over and we don't get to talk to them constantly.
I will be raving about this beautiful place forever and I can't wait to return to visit! Maybe even with some little ones sooner or later!
Thanks for making it so special, Oak Barn!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Oak Barn this past June. We chose The Oak Barn, not only for its picturesque landscape and beautiful barn but they also had a great rain plan in case of bad weather (luckily, we had perfect weather the day of the wedding but it was a relief knowing the rain plan would have been great). The owners, Barb and Ernie, were so wonderful to work with. They are really lovely people and you can tell they do this because they love it. They were there the day of the wedding and made sure that everything was perfect. We knew we were in good hands. From the bridal suite, to the grooms lounge, to the grounds, and the barn...it was all perfect. Our guests loved the venue and told us how beautiful the barn and venue was. I am so so happy we chose The Oak Barn for our wedding!

I couldn’t possibly describe my June 15th wedding at The Oak Barn at Loyalty as anything less than perfect! From the moment my husband and I toured the venue we fell in love with it. The location is private, but still close enough to nearby hotels and activities. The barn is beautifully rustic, but not worn down since it’s relatively new. The view of the Blue Ridge mountains made for the perfect backdrop for our outdoor ceremony and the tall grass off to the side made for the most stunning sunset photos. The bridal and grooms suite were the perfect areas to get ready in before the ceremony since they aren’t connected, so each group gets their own private space. Not to mention how helpful and awesome Barb and Ernie were to work with. You can tell they truly love what they do and treat every couple as if they were their own kids. I also loved that they provide you with a preferred vendor list because it makes choosing your vendors so much easier, especially when planning an out of town wedding like we did. I can’t thank Barb and Ernie enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams at Oak Barn!

It is exactly one month since our daughter's wedding at the Oak Barn at Loyalty, and we are still on cloud nine! It was the first and best decision we made in planning the wedding. The beautiful mountain views and scenic property create magic for the wedding photos. "Stunning" is the word our guests used repeatedly. We were fortunate to have great weather and could really partake in all the amenities the Oak Barn offers. The lovely patio with twinkling strings lights can be used all day and evening. The covered patio area with the fireplace provided a respite for those looking for a quiet moment as did the upstairs balcony. And corn hole allowed some friendly competition! But the Barn itself is truly the show stopper. Even if it had rained, I wouldn't have worried because the inside space is easily convertible between ceremony and reception. A large wooden bar was added upstairs this year, and it was one of our guests favorite things. But the absolute best thing about booking with Oak Barn is Barb and Ernie. They are THE BEST! They truly want you to have the wedding of your dreams and they will do whatever they can to ensure you do. They know their venue inside and out and can offer suggestions on any topic. Their standards and expectations for vendors are high but the mutual respect we saw between both groups was clear. On the biggest day of your life, you couldn't be in better hands! And you leave the experience feeling like you have a second family. As a mom, this meant a great deal to me.

During our venue search, we came across several beautiful options that seemed like they would fit our needs and interests well. This especially included the Oak Barn at Loyalty, with its gorgeous Amish-built barn, its lovely patio and outdoor bar, and its breathtaking view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But the Oak Barn has something unique that sets it far above any other venue, and that’s Barb and Ernie. Barb and Ernie are so much more than just the venue owners in that they care sincerely about each couple that is lucky enough to be married at Oak Barn, and go to great lengths to ensure the day is perfect. They set high standards for their vendors, they pay incredible attention to detail, and, most importantly, they make you feel like a part of their family. Choosing to get married at Oak Barn was the first and best decision we made during our planning process, and we couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding day thanks to Barb and Ernie!

We could not be happier to have chosen Oak Barn for our wedding in early May 2024 after booking with Barb and Ernie in March 2023. There are so many beautiful barn venues in Northern VA, but part of what made Oak Barn stick out was the experience we had with Barb and Ernie during our first visit. We truly felt like we would have a “third set of parents” watching out for us during our wedding planning process and that they would treat us as if we were family members hosting our wedding at their home. Throughout the year+ of planning, they were responsive, flexible, and helpful, including by welcoming some new vendors (such as a new band!) into their space, and that carried out through the wedding weekend. We ended up having our ceremony inside the barn due to rain, but they worked with our coordinator and caterer throughout the day to begin to implement both Plan A and Plan B, allowing the rain call to be made later in the day and give the sun one final chance to shine for us. Even though it didn’t, we were so thrilled with how the barn was transformed inside to look even more magical and beautiful than I could have imagined, complete with all of our florals, beautiful gold chairs, and the barn doors slid open behind our “altar” to retain some natural beauty to our ceremony backdrop. We received so many compliments from our guests on the venue, including some who thought that our indoor ceremony was the plan all along given how beautiful it was! We loved using the upstairs and downstairs for spacing out our guests (even though there were only 112 and the venue can hold 175) and having them standing along the upstairs railing to watch speeches and dances, and the upstairs was perfect for our rain plan cocktail hour. We are so grateful to Barb and Ernie for such a dream wedding experience!

The Oak Barn was the first venue we visited and we fell so in love with it we couldn’t believe it. After visiting a few others in the area we knew it was perfect. It is tucked away in a beautiful private yard overlooking the blue ridge mountains, with nothing but pastures and cows in any direction. Even the drive up is magical. The owners Ernie and Barb were wonderful through the whole planning process and are so willing to help cater to what you are hoping for for the big day. The were so helpful at every stage and planning with them felt like we were planning with family. The whole venue and process felt so intimate and how a wedding should be. The wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect or at a more beautiful location!

My husband and I were so lucky to find The Oak Barn at Loyalty last winter and be married there this past weekend. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, but we absolutely adore the owners, Barb and Ernie. Throughout our engagement communication was exceptional, and we were encouraged to visit the venue whenever we’d like to walk around or say hi. In addition to the beautiful two story barn looking like a fairytale, the bridal suite was also gorgeous, and set up as the perfect place for hair and makeup, as well as some getting ready photos. The groom’s suite was also cozy and filled with beer-which was also a huge hit. We love our venue and the owners so much, we plan on visiting at our 6 month and yearly anniversaries. We’re so glad we found The Oak Barn, it will forever be one of our favorite places!

We couldn’t be happier to have had our wedding at The Oak Barn, and would highly recommend this amazing venue! Everything about the barn itself and the view are absolutely stunning, and all details of the venue are so well thought out which helped everything to run as smoothly as possible. The barn is the perfect cozy and intimate space for a beautiful ceremony and/or reception. Barb and Ernie are the sweetest couple and were always quick to respond to any questions we had and were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and even the day of from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or people to work with! Thank you so much, Ernie and Barb!

The moment we drove up the driveway at The Oak Barn at Loyalty I cried bc I knew that we found “the venue.” The tears continued the entire tour & as I stood in the gorgeous barn,
(I’m typically not a crier) I’d immediately felt soo ‘at home’ with Barb & Ernie, the owners.
Sadly the pandemic occurred causing us to postpone our wedding twice. Flash forward to October 2023 & the most magical moment in our lives finally occurred at the beautiful Oak Barn at Loyalty.
The gorgeous views which we grew to love over 4 years wowed our guests, the compassion Barb & Ernie felt shined throughout the day without going unnoticed to family & friends. I can’t even begin to describe how beautiful the bridal suite is! We truly had the best experience at The Oak Barn at Loyalty! There’s no need to look at other venues bc this venue has everything & more that you could possibly need! Your guests will be talking about your wedding for a long time if you choose the oak barn! Although our wedding has passed, the bond we share with Barb & Ernie is For life!

The Oak Barn at Loyalty is such a beautiful venue! The backdrop was stunning and our guests could not get over how wonderful the location was. The whole event flowed nicely from the outdoor ceremony space, to the cocktail hour on the patio under the lights, to the warmly lit barn for dinner and dancing. Plus, the owners, Barb and Ernie, were with us every step of the way and were there to help throughout the rehearsal and the whole wedding event. They were available with any questions we had during our planning process and were even there cheering us on as the barn doors opened when I walked down the aisle. We were incredibly happy with this venue!

I had the pleasure of experiencing The Oak Barn at Loyalty as the venue for my daughter's wedding, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Barb and Ernie, the hosts, were incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable, which was especially helpful for us as newcomers to the wedding planning process.
Barb was a wealth of information, providing us with vendor lists and patiently addressing our many questions. She made us feel at ease and when my daughter wanted to revisit the venue and visualize the reception layout, both Barb and Ernie went the extra mile rearranging tables to help us explore various setups and walking us through how the day would go.
On the day of the wedding, the weather didn't cooperate, but that didn't dampen our spirits. Ernie's early preparations and attention to detail ensured that the indoor setting was beautiful and intimate, creating a perfect atmosphere for the day and our guests.
The bridal suite was a dream with ample space for hair, makeup and relaxation simultaneously, while the groom's suite provided a fun and relaxing space for the men.
The Oak Barn at Loyalty is undeniably a stunning venue, and what sets it apart is the personal touch that Barb and Ernie bring to every event. They truly make it all about the couple on their special day, and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. Our daughter's wedding was everything we hoped for, thanks to the care and dedication of Barb and Ernie at Oak Barn.

I cannot imagine a better venue to get married at or better venue owners to work with! Barb and Ernie were nothing but supportive and accommodating through the entire process. They are full of knowledge and experience which made me feel so relaxed and worry-free on my big day.
We got married during tropical storm Opehlia and of course, I was stressed in the week leading up because of all of the complications of the impending rain and wind. I arrived at my rehearsal to find that Ernie had spent the day completely setting up the inside of the barn so I could experience how the day would work with the change to an indoor ceremony. It brought tears to my eyes to see how much work they both put in to make sure my wedding day was perfect, even in a storm. Barb and Ernie truly make you feel like a part of their family and I cannot express how highly I recommend The Oak Barn at Loyalty.

Best venue and owners ever!! To begin, this wedding venue is absolutely beautiful. The property, the views, and the barn's indoor and outdoor space is all amazing. The lovely couple that owns the barn and the property were fantastic throughout the whole planning process. They were there for everything and went above and beyond what we would have expected from owners. My daughter's wedding day ended up being a rainy day and several days before, we had to come up with new plans. The owners began immediately figuring out things that needed to be done and did them! They added a cover outside the door the bride would come through and ordered a ton of umbrellas. The night ended up being perfect even with the rain due to all their forward thinking. They even set up tables and chairs so it would all be perfect inside before the caterers even arrived. I am sure there is so much more I could write. I highly, highly, highly recommend The Oak Barn at Loyalty!!!

Our wedding at The Oak Barn at Loyalty, an upscale barn with breathtaking views, was nothing short of a fairytale! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were captivated by the rustic charm and stunning natural surroundings.
The setting was simply magical, with the upscale barn providing the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance. The interior was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that was ideal for both our ceremony and reception. The large windows offered panoramic views of the picturesque landscape, making it an unforgettable backdrop for our special day.
The owners at Oak Barn (Barb & Ernie) were absolute professionals from start to finish. They made the planning process a breeze and were always available to answer our questions and offer guidance. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day perfect were truly remarkable.
One of the standout features was the stunning views surrounding the barn. Our guests were in awe of the natural beauty, and it made for some truly memorable photographs. The venue's well-maintained grounds and the picturesque countryside created a romantic and serene ambiance that we will cherish forever.
If you're searching for a wedding venue that offers rustic elegance and natural beauty, look no further than The Oak Barn at Loyalty. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting. We wholeheartedly recommend Oak Barn to any couples seeking a unique and enchanting backdrop for their special day.

This venue is GORGEOUS! I got so many compliments from my guest about the beautiful barn and amazing views! Also, the owners Barb & Ernie are amazing to work with. They are so kind and made us feel like family. They had great suggestions and provided such good vendors to use. Anyone looking for a beautiful barn with amazing views, this is the place to go! I would pick this venue 100x over and recommend this venue to any newlyweds who want the Barn vibe. I’m truly sad my wedding is over, I will need to find another excuse to visit Barb, Ernie and their beautiful barn!

Oak Barn at Loyalty was the perfect place to have our daughter’s wedding. The venue was rustic yet elegant, was amply spacious for entertaining with access to second level, a beautiful outdoor patio and fit pit area and provided for sufficient guest parking. Its mountain views, immaculately manicured grounds and the breathtaking sunset made the most spectacular backdrop for photos. There is not enough good to say about the owner’s, Barbara and Ernie who were the most gracious hosts.
They were responsive, supportive and did all in their power to make this a most special of events for the family and guests. Their preferred vendors, which they thoroughly vet and assess to insure quality service, were the ultimate professionals and provided services well beyond expectations. We thank and credit the Oak Barn at Loyalty, Barbara and Ernie and all our other vendors, for making our daughter’s wedding day one of the most special days of our lifetime.

We looked at several barn-style wedding venues in Northern Virginia and when we took our visit of The Oak Barn, we knew immediately it was the right one for us! Barb and Ernie were so warm and welcoming when we first arrived and continued to be absolutely fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. We truly appreciated their kindness. After we booked, we were able to visit several times on short notice with our family members to show them the venue. On the wedding weekend, we had ample access to the venue, from Friday mid-day through Sunday mid-day, for drop-off and clean-up. This stood out to us among other venues and helped us feel a lot less pressure to be in and out since there would be another wedding the day before, or after. It was also a great backup plan for any guests who needed to keep their cars there overnight (we did have shuttles running, though) or for cars that were packed with wedding items and we didn’t want to deal with the hassle of moving off property immediately after the reception.
As for the venue itself, it was stunning. Our main draw was the magnificent barn – the perfect mix of modern and authentic features and a great fit the size of our wedding (75 guests). The barn itself has A/C inside and barn doors on all 4 sides that can be opened as necessary to allow for air flow. We had a mid-June wedding and the barn temperature was cool enough to provide relief from the outside heat. For cocktail hour, we used the patio area next to the barn which was perfect for our guests as it included an outside facing walk-up bar in the catering barn and had enough space for us to set up our photobooth. We also had our welcome table & guestbook out in this area near the barn as well.
We also loved the outdoor lawn space adjacent to the barn where they set up for outdoor ceremonies. The view faces West overlooking the picturesque Blue Ridge mountains and we had the most incredible sunset on the night of our wedding where we were able to get amazing photos out in the fields just beyond the fences.
Barb & Ernie have a preferred vendor list which they meticulously monitor, including on the day of the wedding, to ensure those they recommend continue to meet or exceed all expectations. That said, we had no issues using a coordinator NOT on their list and they were more than willing to accommodate us once we provided them her qualifications. With all the stress of planning a wedding, we felt the preferred vendor list made it much easier to narrow down our choices and it was reassuring knowing they had all worked at The Oak Barn before.
All things considered, we feel truly blessed to have found this venue and are grateful for Barb & Ernie helping us have the wedding we dreamed of.

Last year when I started venue searching, Oak Barn was my first stop and I had absolutely no idea how much I’d fall in love!! Not only was the property beautiful and well-kept but the owners (Barb and Ernie) were so kind!! My fiancé was out of town and I called him immediately saying we had to book! With only one June date left, I couldn’t let it go! We booked immediately!
Fast forward to our wedding day. It was an absolute dream!! Barb and Ernie were there all day to help my planner (Tilly & Teal) welcome all the vendors to get set up! They were behind the scenes as additional hands to help! They both care so deeply about their couples and making sure their day is perfect and it shows!
The barn itself is so beautiful and minimal decorations are needed to make the place wedding ready, this is what I loved the most! The they provide the chairs and tables for the ceremony and/or reception and a few other beautiful items. Make sure to speak with them about the rules for keeping barn doors open, as they need to be closed at a certain time of night for noise control. Beautiful patio lights kept our guests outside all evening- everyone loved it!!
Thank you again for making our wedding the most beautiful and memorable day of ours lives!! We can’t wait to come back!

After looking at many venues we decided on The Oak Barn at Loyalty for many reasons, and it did not disappoint! Not only was it a gorgeous venue, the owners Ernie and Barbara are wonderful to work with! They are responsive to questions, provided suggestions for vendors, and are accommodating to the couples’ needs to make sure the wedding is perfect. One aspect we loved compared to other venues is there is only one wedding a weekend; so, you could schedule the rehearsal and wedding on your time, as opposed to squeezing into their schedule. The grounds of the venue are not only beautiful but there are so many spaces for guests to go. We would highly recommend this venue as it will not disappoint.

The Oak Barn is THE BEST venue to get married at, by far. The owners, Barb and Ernie, will always have their couples best interests in mind and will take extra steps to make sure everything goes to (the best) plan. The venue itself is incredible, and the ceremony backdrop is the best in the area. The best thing about the Oak Barn is that once you get married there, you become family not only with your significant other, but also with Barb and Ernie. We have nothing but amazing things to say, and you should not walk, but RUN to the Oak Barn to get married. We could not be happier with our choice of venue.

The Oak Barn was the dreamiest, best venue we could have went with. To be honest, we didn't look at any besides them, because we just KNEW the moment we showed up this was the place we needed to get married. Barn and Ernie, (the owners) are FABULOUS, and my parents and all my vendors were in love with them! I know it's corny, but they really are half the reason we had the best day of our life. The location is out of this world, and so unique. Our vision was to bring New York City to a barn and it did JUST THAT! THANK YOU, oak barn.

The Oak Barn at Loyalty is a fabulous venue! It has such a serene, idyllic feel to it that’s just perfect for weddings. The venue owners are exceptional to work with; they have high standards for the vendors that come on site, for good reason. Beyond their professionalism and expertise, they are exceptionally kind and personable.
As a note: If you’re considering this venue, be sure to plan for comprehensive transportation. Ubers are not reliable this far out in the countryside!
