“Weddings in the Barn at Owl & Olive was the perfect venue for our rustic, barn-themed wedding. The communication with the staff was not the fastest, but they were helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was amazing - the venue was beautiful with a lovely rustic aesthetic, and they had the chairs and tables staged on the day of the wedding, which made the process much easier. However, one downside was that we didn't get the day before the wedding to decorate, so we had to rush to get everything set up on the day of. Overall, we were thrilled with Weddings in the Barn at Owl & Olive and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stunning, rustic wedding venue.”

“The venue was way better than expected. It was beautiful and had a place for all your needs. The waterfall is amazing as well as the arbor area. I really could not imagine we would have ever found a place that was so amazing. Everyone that attended our son’s wedding is really still talking about how amazing the wedding was along with the serene setting. I feel like this place is worth every penny spent. If you are looking for a venue you must check them out. It does not disappoint. We got some beautiful pictures and everyone had a fantastic time. They literally had everything you could need. The barn is were after the wedding and dinner everyone hung out. It is a completely magical place. The owners and their family made sure we had everything we needed. The bride and groom sweets were beautifully decorated and a super sweet place for the parties to get ready for the big day. A lot of fun was had that day. Thank you Legacy Farms for making memories like this. You can obviously tell on there side that this is a labor of love. If I need a venue again I will definitely be booking them again.

“We recently used Belle & Barn for a fall sports banquet. The venue was perfect. We used the small kitchen area to serve dinner to coaches and a dessert bar to the players. It was the perfect size for our needs. Carrie was so easy to work with and helped make our vision happen. And even though it was late fall, we were plenty warm. The inside decor is beautiful and we really didn’t have to add any of our own decorations because what is there was perfect. We look forward to using Belle & Barn again in the future!”
