From the reviews
I was married here in 2017, and my wedding was the first for the new owners and everything was so amazing, we refered our friends to get married there as well this past weekend.
10/10 RECOMMEND!! From within a four hour response time to my inquiry about this venue, down to leaving the reception and closing up, the owners (Paul and Susan) were exceptional with accomodations, requests, assistance, charm, and more!!
We are so happy we chose to get married at Mellon Acres, it is a great venue run by wonderful folks. The Ryals were amazing to work with, responsive along the way to any questions we had, Susan helped with decor planning, we were able to access the reception hall for setup the day before the wedding (which was…
We were not only guests, but vendors also at an event for Lawson's Alumni Association's All-Alumni Reunion this past weekend. We rented a cabin and it was gorgeous. It was much more spacious than I thought it would be and very comfortable with everything we needed!
Getting married at Mellon Acres
Mellon Acres 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.
Corporate events & private parties at Mellon Acres
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Mellon Acres — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
