Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Kaylee at Olde Mill Venue, we knew we had made the right choice. She was responsive to every question we asked and kept us organized throughout the planning process, which honestly made the whole experience feel stress-free. The venue itself is unique and flexible, giving us the freedom to design our day exactly how we wanted it. On our wedding day, Kaylee went above and beyond—when rain threatened our plans, she handled the last-minute change seamlessly and kept everything running smoothly. She even surprised us with a bag of Olde Mill Venue merch, which was such a cool touch and something we'll treasure. We're already recommending them to anyone looking for a venue, and we couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out.

This is an amazing place for a Wedding. The resort was great and very quick to respond. The price is very affordable, but the location and view seems like it should be worth a lot more. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots with a lot of different backgrounds. All and all, my husband and I were very happy with this venue and we recommend it to all of our engaged friends.

If we could recommend Sonshine Barn 5 million times over, we would! Everything about Sonshine Barn is designed to make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We cannot thank the entire Sonshine Barn Team - especially Sarah, Jen, and Courtney - for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect. Between Sarah helping us with decorations and venue questions, and Jen and Courtney helping coordinate the logistics day-of, our wedding day went off without a hitch. There wasn’t a single detail my husband (!!!) and I were worried or stressed about come wedding day. I also cannot emphasize how incredible it is to have your contract run the entire length of your wedding weekend, with the Farmhouse onsite. This level of convenience is unmatched. On top of all of this, Sonshine Barn itself is beautiful. From the interior of the barn, to the grounds, the ceremony backdrop, and everything in between. 100000/10 we highly recommend Sonshine Barn!
