Jackie at Blue View Barn was a dream to work with. She was completely transparent and communicated in a timely manner. When we gave a deposit she provided a list of vendors that have worked with her and we ended up booking 3 vendors from her list that made our day even more perfect. The venue was clean and the provided decorations were all of good quality. We rented the venue for 2 days and Jackie stayed available throughout the time we were on the property incase we needed anything. I cannot recommend this venue enough.
