From the reviews
My husband and I had our reception here and it was everything I hoped it would be. The Stables has so much rustic charm that it really didn't require a lot of additional decorations. The owners were great to work with, made everything really simple for us.
Excellent space and grounds. The circulation took a moment to cool off the event space. The windows would easily be opened by patrons to help facilitate air movement.
I have been the wedding DJ twice now at this venue and I have to say it was such a pleasure to work with the staff. They really work hard to make everything perfect for their clients and the vendors. And the view is stunning
A little out of the way, but a nice location for the wedding we attended. The staff was very friendly. Restored barn had a nice rustic feel.
Getting married at THE STABLES
THE STABLES 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 STABLES
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at THE STABLES — 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.
