From the reviews
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. From my very first correspondence to the actual event every detail was handled professionally and timely. The owner is very sweet and she was very detailed oriented which I appreciated.
My daughter in law’s baby shower was at Merrymans Station. I had never been there before. It was absolutely beautiful in there and they allow you to decorate the way you want to and my daughter-in-law’s best friend decorated it a certain way and had it catered and it was just a beautiful venue for the baby shower
Cute place! The store has some neat and original local items, but isn't super big. The place itself it awesome and historical! I would love to use the venue for an event if I ever have a reason too. Shop local!
Just setting up for a Casino theme party. The venue was so beautiful. Talk to the owner about her business. Took her 2 years to remodel. Believe me its beautiful. I would recommend it. Thank you.
Getting married at Merryman Station
Merryman Station 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 Merryman Station
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Merryman Station — 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.
