My husband and I got married at BR a little over a month ago on August 22, 2025. We cannot say one bad thing about our wedding. We were so blessed to be able to have Cheyenne as our wedding planner. She was absolutely a dream. She called us every few months and made wedding planning from Tennessee so easy. We made a trip in December and combined aRead more about review stating Wonderful Teamll of our meetings into one. We were able to plan our whole wedding in one day. It was long but Cheyenne and the whole team at BR made it easier and took their time to help us figure everything out detail out. They are all so patient and amazing to work with. The day of our wedding was just a blast. The team at BR handled everything with ease. The whole day went smoothly. Plus the best thing about the venue is the all inclusive package they offer and how they contact all the vendors for you. I love the outdoor ceremony locations. Yes locations they have multiple ceremony options outside and an indoor reception space with lots of room for our 100 guests. The grooms cave upstairs was such a hit with all the groomsmen and they played with the pool table up to the very last second before the ceremony. During reception it did rain so we weren’t able to do our sparkler exit but the staff was able to let us use our cold sparklers and get one last photo with those. The day after we had to pick up some decor pieces and they were more than accommodating. It was just a blast and Cheyenne is the best wedding planner and we had an amazing time planning our big day with her. We both loved our wedding at Bakers Ranch.

Absolutely Perfect in Every Way.There truly aren’t enough words to describe how breathtaking Blue View Barn is. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was something special - but our wedding day exceeded every single expectation. The venue itself is stunning. The views, the barn, the atmosphere - every detail creates the most magical backdrop. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was! But what truly makes Blue View Barn exceptional is Jacqueline, the owner. She is beyond amazing. From day one, she was supportive, organized, creative, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She offered incredible ideas we never would have thought of, helped guide us through decisions, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.
