My husband and I got married on 5/18/24 at This Old Barn. We had such an amazing experience with this venue. Cheryl was friendly, responsive and helpful throughout the entire proce...
ss! We had an unexpected forecast for heavy rain on the day of our wedding and TOB staff helped us move the ceremony indoors without a hitch! The barn was beautiful and spacious and our guests loved the location. The bridal cottage was perfect for myself, 8 bridesmaids and my mom and mother in law to get ready in! This venue is wonderful rain or shine and we loved working with them!

Highly recommend this venue - the barn and surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, and Cheryl and Dale made our day perfect! Cheryl and her team were extremely responsive and acc...
ommodating. I had a ton of questions and Cheryl was always so helpful and patient. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our special day as Cheryl and her team made sure everything was perfect. We loved using the model T truck during the ceremony and for photos. The bridal cottage is another awesome benefit and such a beautiful space to get ready in. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was very convenient to have available throughout the evening. If you're looking for a barn wedding this is the one!!

We could not have picked a better spot for our October wedding! The ceremony site was stunning with the fall colors putting on their best show. The barn is gorgeous and was the per...
fect size. The bridal cottage was clean, cute and perfect for getting ready.
Cheryl and Dale could NOT have been better to work with. They were truly amazing -- quick to respond, helpful, organized and just the nicest people. They helped make our wedding day so special.
October weather is unpredictable and despite the two previous days being in the 70s, our wedding day was in the low 50s and by the reception it was in the low 40s to high 30s. It was definitely a chilly, but once everyone was in the barn, eating and moving around a little bit you couldn't feel the chill.
Highly highly recommend.
