From the reviews

I cannot say enough good things about this location and the owners. We just had a wedding reception there and the owners ensured we had everything we needed. Great venue with compliments from all our guests!

★★★★★ — Katy, Oct 2018

Very nice venue for weddings etc. And very comfortable was there on a rather warm day and they had it at a very comfortable temperature. Nice staff.

★★★★★ — Paula, Jun 2019

A wonderful venue for any special occasion! Plus the owners are really amazing as well.

★★★★★ — Mysterious, Jul 2017

Absolutely a beautiful place for any important event. Owners are very professional and accommodating. Super clean inside with the old barn setting appeal. Outdoor surroundings are over the top astonishing with a working waterfall that really sets this place off as a one-of-a-kind must see dream come true.

Getting married at This Old Barn; Venue

This Old Barn; 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 This Old Barn; Venue

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