The Old Barn at Brown County Reviews

Reviewed On 9/17/2019 by Adelia A
We loved having our wedding at the Old Barn at Brown County! Leaving from the initial visit to this venue, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Everything about this venue - the barn, the cabin, the setting, and the drive there ...
is just gorgeous. How it’s nestled back into the hills makes for a more intimate setting away from the hustle and bustle, which is exactly what we were looking for. Darla and Brian are wonderful to work with and made our life easy as we planned this wedding. They were always quick to respond and help us through any questions we had. We agree that the Old Barn at Brown County was one of the top highlights of our wedding, and we’re glad that we chose it for our special day!

At the first visit we had to The Old Barn, we were immediately sold and knew this was where we wanted to get Married. Brian and Darla were so great. I highly recommend this venue! It's perfect.

Perfect choice for our wedding. The owners/management were wonderful to work with, very helpful, and easy to communicate with. The barn is also beautiful. It is naturally pretty, and only took a little bit of flowers and table vines to spruce i...
t up. I loved the location of the barn too. Tucked a few miles down hoover road, it was very quiet. One of my bridesmaids and I woke up early and went for a run north on the road, it was so pristine watching the sunrise and hearing the birds. And the goats across the street are adorable! I was hesitant about an outside wedding at first, but we could not have asked for a better spring day. The barn also provides some great photo opportunities. So overall, I am very happy with everything and definitely recommend!!

My husband and I came to look at the barn about 2 years before our wedding. It was the first and only venue we went to look at in person and we fell in love right away. Our wedding was September 26th, 2020 so of course it was during the pandemi...
c. We were honestly worried that Brian and Darla would want to move the date of our wedding, we wanted to keep it the same as much as we could (even if that meant sacrificing the amount of guests we were allowed to have). Upon speaking with them, they asked us if we could keep that date because they are a small business and could go out of business if everyone reschedules to next year. I noticed the negative review below about the wedding held during the pandemic. They didn't mention that The Old Barn at Brown County is a small business and that if they let everyone do what that bride tried to do, there wouldn't be a venue to have the wedding at. After working with Brian and Darla a LOT over the 2 years preparing for our wedding, I know they are not as rude or directly inconsiderate as that review made them sound. My husband and I were in an odd situation for our finances and actually had to wait until about 4 months before the wedding to be able to pay it all off (I was in college still and my husband was just starting our career so we didn't have a lot of money). Brian and Darla were so amazingly easy to work with and I'm so grateful that our faith was rightly put in them. This pandemic wasn't easy for anyone trying to have their wedding but they really took a lot of stress off our shoulders. Aside from the pandemic related details of the wedding. Their package can't be beat. We got both cabins for our wedding party and we loved them both. They were both cozy and made the start and end of the day so easy going. They clean for you, set everything up for you, tear all their items down, and provide parking guidance for the day of your wedding for $7000. We looked around at other barns within 100 miles of the barn and NONE of them provided a deal like they did. They were the best value we could find. Our wedding was formal but felt more casual and it was very easy to pull off with this venue. We couldn't be happier with how our day turned out. We highly recommend it!!

Our granddaughter became engaged in 2019. She began plans for her wedding soon after. She put a deposit down and reserved The Old Barn at Brown County plus a tent for over capacity of guests for a fall wedding in 2020. By early February, she ha...
d paid the entire amount off—a full seven months in advance of the wedding date. Then COVID-19 hit. In March, a full six months ahead of the date and out of great concern, she decided to reschedule her wedding to 2021. The guest list included many seriously immune, compromised family and friends—many from out-of-state. When she contacted Brian (owner) to reschedule her wedding date, he refused and said to “wait and see how it goes”. She suggested someone else could have her date, Brian was not interested. As time went on, she contacted him again and he still refused. This was a very upsetting and emotional time for her. He told her he would make her pay full price for a 2021 Saturday with out reimbursement for her 2020 Saturday because (by this time) “five months is too late notice to rebook the date”, then Brian ended up double booking her original weekend. Because of that, she was charged an extra $100 for tent removal. Normally, it would have been removed on Monday at no extra charge. It should have been an exciting happy time for any bride-to-be. There was much heartache and many tears, he ruined it for her. I would NOT recommend The Old Barn at Brown County to any person or wedding party. The owners have no compassion or consideration. They are greedy people. All they had to do was reschedule. The wedding took place with much concern and lots of gnats. And a large number of older out-of-state relatives were not able to travel to the wedding, due to Covid restrictions.

I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Old Barn! First, Brian and Darla are great to work with. They were flexible and quick to respond to all of my messages. They were also super helpful with any questions that I had leading up to our wedd...
ing. Planning during a pandemic can be stressful but they were so assuring and made accommodations for our guests. The barn is absolutely beautiful, you really need minimal effort to decorate the space. The tables, lighting, and drapery really dress the place up. There's also a nice seating area in the upstairs loft for your guests. Along with the Big Easy Log Cabin we rented the additional cabin that is up the hill for the groomsmen and that was the best idea! The cabins are so spacious and it's nice to have lodging for you, your spouse, and your bridal party for the ENTIRE weekend, it really makes preparing a breeze. You truly get your money's worth with the barn and the cabin. I would HIGHLY recommend the Old Barn to anyone looking for a barn wedding. It truly can't be beat!
