From the reviews

My wife and I got married here in August. It was absolutely perfect. The venue was exactly what we wanted and was so amazing. Kelly was incredible and so helpful and accommodating. Kelly went above and beyond in every aspect for our wedding and helped so much in making our day perfect. The venue was set up so amazing.

We got married at Rusty River Barn in July 2022 and can not say enough good things about the venue and the owner, Kellie! The property is stunning with the both the rustic barn and glass house, as well as all the outdoor space and pond for your guests to enjoy.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Mar 2023

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend and all we can say is Wow! Kellie is amazing. The wedding was a huge success and it was due to Kellie's hard work, attention to detail, willingness to help and a list of great vendors. We can't thank her enough for making our guests feel welcome and everyone left in awe!

★★★★★ — Harvey, Sep 2024

I got married at the Rusty River Barn on 8/21/2020, and it was the most beautiful day I could've imagined. All of our guests absolutely loved the venue. Everything went perfectly, and Eugene was SO helpful the day of and months leading up to the wedding. I'd recommend RRB to anyone!

Getting married at Rusty River Barn

Rusty River 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.
