From the reviews

This place is awesome. Great spot to have wedding receptions and Family reunions. Out in the country, very peaceful venue.

We went here for a wedding reception and it was amazing. They have fairy lights all along the beams of the ceiling and you really feel like you are in a huge log cabin. There is a stage that the wedding party and DJ were on and there was plenty of room to have both up there.

★★★★★ — Amy, Oct 2020

Our wedding was in September. We had a few hiccups with a few details but with the new owners just purchasing the venue they did their best to help make sure our day went as smoothly as it possible could.

★★★★☆ — Kristina, Oct 2025

Mike and Brittany were AWESOME at getting back to us with any questions we had. The venue was beautiful and the guests of the wedding had nothing but good things to say about it. I would highly recommend this place for any special event! You cant beat the price either!!

Getting married at The Banner Event Venue

The Banner Event Venue 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 The Banner Event Venue

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Banner Event Venue — 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.
