    Great Venue & Staff! Worth the investment!

    We had such a wonderful experience hosting our wedding reception at Barnwood! Julie and the entire Barnwood staff were absolutely amazing to work with. They were always quick to respond, readily available to answer any questions we had, and made the process of selecting our bar packages incredibly easy. The venue itself is beautiful! Barnwood was very clean and had ample parking for guests. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful Barnwood was! The staff was friendly, the service was professional, and everything helped make our reception such a special and memorable evening. We would absolutely recommend Barnwood and would not hesitate to book them again for a future event!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Barnwood Events! From the very beginning, Julie and her team were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. They met with us multiple times to walk through decor ideas, plan the layout, and make sure all of the details were exactly how we envisioned. One of our favorite things about Barnwood was their decor closet! It saved us so much money during the planning process, as we were able to use so many of their beautiful decorations rather than having to purchase or rent everything ourselves. Taylor, our day-of coordinator, was absolutely amazing! She did an incredible job executing every detail we had discussed, including a few little additions we threw in at the last minute. She truly took care of everything, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about a single thing. We probably could have recruited enough friends and family to help coordinate everything, but having Taylor there made such a difference. Her experience working at the venue and coordinating dozens of weddings really showed. She knew exactly what needed to be done and made the entire day feel effortless. We also had a very full venue with lots of guests, but with Barnwood's help, we were able to make the space work beautifully. The venue itself is stunning, with gorgeous indoor spaces, beautiful outdoor areas for guests to enjoy, and lovely grounds. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the venue! Overall, Barnwood Events was worth every single penny. Julie, Taylor, and the entire team helped create the most flawless, beautiful, and perfect wedding day we could have imagined. We are so grateful we chose Barnwood and would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

    Excellent venue!

    Barnwood was a wonderful venue for our wedding! We chose Barnwood because it was close to downtown but still offered a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, and that’s what we got! Julie was great to work with throughout the process. It was nice to have the flexibility of ceremony location, especially with the weather changing last minute on our wedding day. The farmhouse provided easy lodging for our family. Julie and Kayla executed our vision perfectly with the set-up of our decor and coordinating the day. It was nice that we could add on a champagne toast and dinner wine service to the standard bar packages, and our guests loved the bartenders. We also appreciated that Barnwood was flexible with our preferences (for other vendors, timing, use of space, etc.) while still being engaged to help make sure it all worked. I highly recommend hosting your wedding here!

    Amazing!

    Julie and Dave (and their team) have brought a great venue to the area. They are such wonderful hosts, and truly have the mentality that coming together with other vendors to make a couple's dreams come to life is the ultimate goal. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every event, and look forward to more in the years to come.
