Bessies Barn is a great place for weddings. The out door scenery combined with the comfortable indoors makes for a beautiful event. Old rustic trucks are parked on the lot with old metal structures and beautiful wood pices make for great photo shoots.
Bessie’s Barn is a first class venue and the owners are extremely helpful and hard working people. I am a wedding DJ in the area and worked a wedding recently. The owners of Bessie’s Barn were so great to work with. Very attentive to the needs of their clients and vendors. Looking forward to coming back!
Beautiful venue!!! This venue has a lot of room. Very spacious and indoor and outdoor. We had access to their decorations to use or bring our own in. We had a lot of time to decorate for my daughter's wedding. Highly recommend this venue.
Getting married at Bessie's Barn
Bessie's Barn comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
