From planning and decorating to the final moments of the big day, my experience with Barn at the…read moreCovered Bridge was amazing! I loved the bridal suite! My girls and I felt pampered and relaxed in our separate and spacious area :) My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside by the pond in the beautiful green pasture, bright white fences and the covered bridge in the background- I was so excited about it! Due to weather we had to move the ceremony inside the barn. The main 'barn' space was easy to transform from a structured ceremony space to a relaxed and open reception party. Michelle Cornell was an amazing wedding coordinator- organized and kept everything on schedule and I didn't have to worry about anything on my special day! Hal was an entertaining and engaging MC- we got so many comments from our guests about how beautiful and fun our event was!

The lush greenery and natural surroundings provide a tranquil and romantic setting that is perfect for exchanging vows and celebrating with loved ones. One of the standout features of this venue is the magnificent barn that has been transformed into a luxurious and chic space. The interior is beautifully designed with rustic wooden beams and elegant lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The barn has ample space to accommodate a large number of guests and offers a flexible layout to suit any wedding theme or style. In addition to the barn, the property offers numerous outdoor spaces to host different parts of the wedding day, such as a waterfront ceremony, cocktail hour on the expansive lawn, and dinner under the stars.

There were stains on the bathroom counter which means it wasn't cleaned properly. One of the pillows had something on it. Idk what that was or what that was about. We were here for a friends wedding and I was not a fan. I normally love a Holiday Inn... but not here. The breakfast was decent. No complaints there. The girl at night working the desk was soooo friendly but those two women in the morning.... Not so much... We had one towel and 3 hand towels and one wash cloth at check in. It was nice that we had the do not disturb hang tag on the door and they left a little bag with towels and toilet paper at the door in case we needed it.

Poor Communication, Rude Management, and No Housekeeping. I travel monthly for work and can…read morehonestly say this was one of the worst and most unprofessional hotel experiences I've ever had. Prior to the cancellation deadline, I called the hotel to adjust my reservation from Thursday-Sunday to Friday-Sunday because my daughter had exams and we would miss the first game of the tournament we were attending. When I called, the front office staff stated there was a system issue and told me to contact reservations because they were "too busy" to assist. The reservations representative was very kind and helpful. They documented my account showing that I called before the deadline and advised me to contact the manager the next day because they were also unable to make the change due to an issue involving the Apple Pay payment selection. When I called the manager the next day and attempted to explain that reservations had documented my prior call, I was immediately interrupted and told, "Can you let me talk please? I was here and you did not call." Basically, I was treated as if I was lying and told I would be charged anyway. Ironically, when I arrived later that evening (since I was being charged regardless), the front desk staff apologized and confirmed they remembered me calling. The manager's attitude and lack of professionalism were completely unacceptable. Customer service, communication, and basic professionalism clearly need improvement. To make matters worse, there was no housekeeping during the stay. Guests had to bring their dirty towels downstairs just to receive replacements. After doing so, we were only given one towel and one hand towel -- no washcloths at all. Needless to say, I checked out early on Saturday and will not be returning. There are far too many hotels that value their guests and provide professional customer service to waste time and money on an experience like this.

We still cannot get over how beautiful every single detail of our wedding day was here. We had zero stress the entire day and every single guest would not stop raving about how magical this venue was! They have every detail figured out! We dropped off everything for the venue days beforehand so we wouldn't have to worry about anything the weekend of our wedding. The owner, Stephanie Watson, took it upon herself to make home-made brunch for all of the ladies when we arrived on wedding day, and we relaxed on the scenic property until it was time for hair/make-up. Pre-ceremony was so dreamy and fun, and the wedding itself was so the most amazing experience of our lives. Anything we wanted to incorporate into our wedding, this team made happen! WORTH EVERY PENNY! And your money is supporting an absolutely amazing family and group of people! Thank you to every single one of you!!! We love you guys!

It was an absolute pleasure working with them and for them to be a part of everything. In such a short time they have become a huge part of our lives and we love them dearly!

This venue is basically someone 's yard they are renting out.

All you're getting is beautiful grass. The outlets at the ceremony stage didn't work so we had to talk loud. And my guests and I were bitten by fire ants all over the place as she only treated for fire ants where the tent was! I almost spent my wedding night in the ER (I'm allergic)!
