The wedding planner, her name is Kelly too, here is a doll. She made us feel welcome from the first visit with wine and welcome packet. Fell in love with the possibilities of the space instantly. When you know, you know right away. Our wedding was small and absolutely magical from start to finish. I will cherish every moment for the rest of our lives. I look into my husband's eyes and remember our wedding weekend spent at the Milan Villa like it was yesterday. Unforgettable and timeless! Smiles stay on my face with those memories made to last a lifetime, just as our vows to each other.

The Four Seasons Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding! Beth and her staff were incredibly responsive, prompt, precise, and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. On the big day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything stress-free. Beth and my wedding coordinator Katie were a true dream team, working seamlessly together to setup and execute our vision. The venue itself provided stunning backdrops for our ceremony and reception, with beautiful outdoor spaces and all well-maintained. Using their rentals also saved us a lot of money. I cannot recommend the Four Seasons Barn enough - between their fantastic communication, seamless execution, and gorgeous spaces, they were integral to making our wedding day perfect! 1000% recommendations this place!
