Most amazing service and Group of people!

I recently got married at the Barn on 11/12 and it was one of the most amazing and memorable days I will cherish for the rest of my life. I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate Andrea with all her help from beginning to end and the amazing job she also did with my Flowers everything was perfect and more amazing then I ever imagined it. Lisa brought all my ideas to life and made sure that everything was ready to go and looking perfect! She was able to rehearse my ceremony with us and we were able to get everything done right on the first shot! I cannot tell you all how appreciative I was to all of them and how amazing my day was and all because of the work they do! They managed to pull off all my ideas and execute everything so much better then I ever dreamed of all while I was working on the ohine with them from Florida! I hope to one day be back at the Barn to celebrate and create many memories with the ones we love! Until then we love our Tennessee family at the barn and we will visit soon!

Amazing Venue

My husband and I just recently got married at the Barn Event Center and I have nothing but amazing things to say. It’s beautiful, the food is good, and the staff is AMAZING. If you have the chance to work with Lisa, she is an incredible day of coordinator. She made our day perfect!
