From the reviews

It's amazing how one Google search lead me to this place. We got married on 10/5/2024. This was one of the easiest decisions I made wedding planning was picking Old Carter Barn as my venue. I knew from the moment I walked into this venue that it was going to be our spot.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Oct 2024

My husband and myself had our wedding at the Old Carter Barn last June during Pride Month. The whole ceremony was fantastic and everything went well. Lewis, Doug, Dave, and Caleigh were phenomenal and patient with someone as frantic as myself.

★★★★★ — Marc, Feb 2024

Where to begin?! Everything at the Old Carter Barn was perfect beyond measure. We truly had an amazing experience from the day we found this venue on the Knot to the conclusion of our special day.

★★★★★ — Giovana, Nov 2023

This is hands down the BEST wedding venue. We had the most amazing and wonderful fairytale wedding here. We cannot say enough about how amazing the staff was to work with and how they brought our vision to life. They have a huge selection of linens, decorations, tables and chairs for your whole event.

Getting married at Old Carter Barn

Old Carter 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.

Corporate events & private parties at Old Carter Barn

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Old Carter Barn — 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.
