From the reviews

I cannot share enough positive things about booking here! Lacey was my point of contact person throughout the whole process, and she made the planning as stress free as it could possibly be. She was so professional and fun! I had my wedding here on October 6th, 24' and it is def my favorite day ever.

We got married at the Back Orchard Barn in July and we had the best wedding and day!! The venue is absolutely beautiful and all of the staff was wonderful to work with.

★★★★★ — Beth, Oct 2024

Hands down the best wedding venue in the area, it's in a great location that's rural and yet still just a couple minutes from an airport in case you have guests flying in. The main barn layout is perfect for weddings and is complimented by not one, but two outdoor areas.

★★★★★ — Max, Oct 2024

I had the Back Orchard Barn picked out as our venue from the moment we went to the first open house back in June 2023 (three months before we were engaged). We absolutely loved working with Kelly, Sam, Lacey, Bill and everyone else! They made our wedding day the most special day in our lives.

Getting married at Back Orchard Barn

Back Orchard Barn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
