Tricia and her team are so talented and take great pride in their work. On top of the beautiful arrangements and potted plants, they also have a fantastic selection of gift items in their shop. They even offer free local delivery. Also, keep a lookout for the amazing floral design classes that she hosts pretty regularly. Tricia is one of the sweetest, most hard working people I know and I hope more and more people discover everything she has to offer!

The bathrooms were clean the whole time and stocked. The staff on site was very accommodating, and they even removed tables during the dance to make the dance floor bigger. There is a wonderful list of vendors they recommend and never pressure you to use. I highly recommend this venue for both weddings and quinceañeras.

Poor management at The Barn BCS since Jan. '23. Stephanie, one of the new owner/managers is…read moreextremely unprofessional. We had visited this place in Nov. '22 and reserved it for June '23. We had paid in full by March '23. By the beginning of May we had not heard from anyone from The Barn. The bartender had forgotten our reservation and Stephanie had never called us in the months leading up to the wedding. We paid $4250 for our 6 hr reception AND we had to clean up afterwards! Stephanie yelled at me after I asked her what kind of a sh&t show was going on! She does not answer her phone and provided zero direction in our planning process. It took nearly 2 months after our wedding to receive our deposit and overpayment because it got "lost in the mail". Look elsewhere, brides. Much better deals and less heartburn at other venues!

Chris was so very good at communicating with me. The room was very clean. Plenty of hot water. Every detail was thought of; shower gel, shampoo, ear plugs, small bottle of water and chocolates. Very good air condition for an older house. Very quiet, we didn't hear any other guest. Bed was very comfortable. I can't wait to come back and stay again. Highly recommend!

The Astin Mansion seriously could not have done a better job for our wedding (5/17/14). Throughout…read morethe entire planning process they were attentive, had great ideas, and they never once caused us ANY stress or grief. Stephanie took over the main coordination for our wedding and she did a stellar job. She always made sure information was passed quickly and helped make our day incredibly special. From pinning boutonnières to wrangling rouge flower girls, she was amazing. We served caesar salad, lasagna, green beans, and bread. I have to be honest, we didn't do a taste sampling (although it was offered to us), and I wasn't expecting anything great. However, when we finally got the eat the meal on our wedding day, it was phenomenal. I truly believe it was the best lasagna I have ever eaten (don't tell my mom that!). It was easily my favorite part of the meal. My very close second favorite part of the meal was the salad. MMM! Fresh, and just an overall tasty dish. The Astin also supplied our cakes. In our package we didn't get to choose anything that had to do with the cakes (which may be a negative for some people, but we were actually pretty glad it was done for us). The cakes were delicious. Soft cake and creamy icing on the brides cake and grooms cake. Chris, the florist, did a great job with all of the arrangements, too. I had a bouquet of blue hydrangeas for a 4 o'clock wedding. I got my bouquet at 3 o'clock and even in the harsh sun, they never wilted. Around 5 pm, I stuck them in some water and they were still beautiful when we left for our honeymoon the next day. Overall, if we had to do it again, we would choose the Astin every time.
