We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From the moment we toured the space to the very end of our wedding day, everything exceeded our expectations.

Absolutely loved Union 12! It was an amazing experience!! Union 12 made our wedding day special. They were great at communicating and responding fast to any question I had. On the day of our wedding they greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed! Greta did a fantastic job as the EDM.

Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming, but from day one, we knew we wanted Union 12 to be our wedding venue. That was the easiest and best decision we ever made! To say this venue is beautiful is an understatement. Spring, summer, fall or winter, this venue does not disappoint!

Union 12 was the PERFECT venue for our May wedding! From the day we toured the venue to almost 2 years later on our wedding day, the staff at Union 12 were so easy to work with.

Getting married at Union 12

Union 12 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 Union 12

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Union 12 — 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.
