The Barker House by Wedgewood Weddings was a very simple and comfortable venue. I personally hate weddings and all the BS that comes with them so Barker House was perfect for me! They have preferred vendors so a bunch is included depending on what package you buy! They are also extremely competitive with their prices so you don't feel like you are completely getting screwed. With that in mind you do get what you pay for so if you are looking for a high end wedding this is not for you, but if your looking for an overall great process with minimal stress than I would 100% recommend using the Barker House!...one negative I will mention is use an outside vendor for photobooth, theirs is not good.
