From the reviews

Really great venue if you are considering it . . . everyone was very nice and accommodating for the double wedding I shot there a couple of years ago:)

We had our daughter's wedding at The Lily Barn this past weekend. We could not have asked for a better experience here. The gardens were beautiful and the pavilion was perfect for the reception. Janice and her team were incredibly hard workers getting ready for the big day and on the day as well.

Property: the property is beautiful and perfect for anyone wanting a garden or outdoor wedding. The gazebo made a perfect backdrop to our ceremony and the grounds provided ample locations for pictures. The barn we used to get ready in was full of amenities. The grooms cabin seemed small but I heard no complaints.

★★★★★ — Caitlin, Sep 2025

We went to a wedding here in early October. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all done here. The ceremony in the meadow was great, the gardens are unique and the Lily barn makes for a great location for a cocktail hour. The reception hall was comfortable for around 70 guests seated.

Getting married at The Lily Barn

The Lily 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 The Lily Barn

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Lily 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.
