Sarah Datzman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-12-2021 The owner of the wedding barn was extremely outgoing and eager to help us with anything we needed. She met with us in person 3-4 times before the wedding day. They do conduct an open house every year to let you look around and answer questions. The barn was rustic and charming! They shuttle your guests from the parking lot to the barn for your event. That was helpful for our guests that couldnât easily get around. They also have a liquor license. It was nice to step back and let them handle it. I would recommend them for a wedding or any other type of event! Reviewed on 19-12-2021

Very nice people and everyone was great for planning sessions and the day of. They changed the DJ and the name of place while in planning stages but everything still worked out we just had to post on FB about the name change. Reviewed on 25-07-2023
Lori Van Wagner(other)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 Wedding coordinator was horrible. She was 30 minutes late to the second meeting and forgot that she had it. She then went over the same things and told us the same stories which led to a disastrous day of the wedding. She then chewed out the bar staff in front of the father of the bride and was then rude to him. Poor communication and forgetfulness. We had set up our rehearsal dinner for 6 pm in December of 2021. Reiterated that we wanted it at 6 in March when we came back for our 2nd meeting and she still scheduled another wedding rehearsal at the same time. She called the groom by the wrong name. Overall Barbarann and all her promises left us feeling like we got ripped off. My daughter wished she didnât do her wedding because of all of the problems and screw ups that Barbarann promised her she would not know anything about. She is very disappointed which makes the parents upset because this is supposed to be the most perfect and magical day. Reviewed on 12-09-2022
Rebecca Gillie(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2022 I want to start off by saying my wedding day was awesome and the venue is beautiful. I had several issues however throughout the planning process. They offer dj services through them so during our planning meeting I mentioned that I would be interested and also sent text messages/literal phone conversations that I was wanting to pursue that. It was never mentioned how much it would cost or that a contract needed to be initiatedâŠuntil my rehearsal dinner the night before. It was $500 fee for the dj to show up right before my wedding and get an attitude with my maid of honor also I made my whole playlist so Iâm not sure what I paid for. I was doing a weekday wedding and apparently you get a discount in exchange for no time to decorate before your wedding. I found all this information out at my rehearsal dinner that I was not allowed to get my hair and makeup done at the venue because I only was able to use it for 5 hours. Communication was not clear about expectations and it just had me stressing the night before not to mention having to find extra money to pay for more time and this DJ fee. I give credit that they waived the âextra timeâ fee and begrudgingly gave me extra time during the rehearsal dinner to decorate. If you go through this venue take more initiative to get things in writing so you know what youâre getting. Reviewed on 02-08-2022
Kelsey Stuart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2021 My husband, Kyle, and I enjoyed everything about the Avon Wedding Barn! We got married inside, and it could not have been any more intimate or beautiful! Everyone working with the Wedding Barn was so helpful throughout our planning process. Our questions were answered quickly and everyone was quick to offer helpful advice when we were having trouble making a decision.We will forever be thankful to Barbarann and the rest of the AWB staff for making our day so special, so beautiful, and so fun! THANK YOU!! Reviewed on 08-03-2022
Evan Cooper(other)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2021 The bones of the venue are very pretty and the overall aesthetic is well executed. However the ownership/team of the venue will create a ton of challenges. They recently went through a change in the venues coordinating role, leaving the organizing to an individual who cares more about their ideas than that of the bride. I was brought in to coordinate last minute due to this change because the bride, groom, and both families were extremely concerned to leave it in the hands of the venues team. The main individual will talk over you in all your meetings, turn every conversation into something about themselves, claim they know best in every situation resulting in an environment where the brides wishes are not heard. There were multiple other vendors working the same wedding who stated they normally refuse to work events at the venue due to the ownership/management. There were multiple instances during the event where they attempted to go over my head and change things opposite of the brides wishes. As an experienced wedding planner and coordinater I have never worked in such a toxic environment and will definitely stay away from the Avon Wedding Barn from here on out. Reviewed on 15-05-2021
Krist'n McAtee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2021 The barn went above and beyond our expectations. They worked through every step with us. We hired their bar services for beverages and it was amazing. They created a special drink for both of us and made sure our guests were well taken care of. Barbarann and Tammy made sure that every single detail was perfect with decorations and placements. That barn is already magical but when you walk in and the decorations are out together itâs just a little more special. I only wish our day here lasted a bit longer because I didnât want it to end âșïž Thank yâall so much for an amazing evening! Reviewed on 04-05-2021

Amber Bunnell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-11-2017 Darinda, the owner, was the best person in all of our wedding planning. She was there answering questions and relieving fears and concerns since the moment we met and always made time for us! She made our day the best it could possibly have ever been! Not to mention, the barn is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! She also accommodated multiple handicapped people for us and made it so easy for us to have all our loved ones present for the momentous occasion!!!!!!! I would highly recommend Darinda and the Avon Wedding Barn to anyone and everyone having a rustic, vintage, or country themed wedding. It was truly perfect!!!!!! :D Reviewed on 06-12-2017
Lindsey DeRiter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 We had our perfect day on October 21, 2017. The day went so smoothly. We had the barn booked for about 2 years so the planning process was long but throughout it all Tammy and Darinda were very helpful and accommodating with their advice and willingness to help. We got to enjoy ourselves and our guests which was great! It truly was the best day of our lives! Reviewed on 04-11-2017
Christine Hale(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2016 This wedding venue is beautiful and the decorator/sales manager did a phenomenal job. We were, however, unimpressed with the owner's attitude towards us and the people helping us with our wedding. She discussed payment with my now husband the day of our wedding (about an hour before the ceremony), was rude to my pastor, family, and bridal party. She was bossy and unappreciative of our family's help and did not defend us when we had difficulty with a vendor they recommended. Like I said, it was a beautiful place to get married, not everything was bad, we were just not treated well by the owner and that's not something you want on your wedding day. Reviewed on 24-10-2016
Alexandrea Hicks(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2015 My husband and I are SO thankful that we booked our ceremony and reception with Avon Wedding Barn! Our wedding was on a Friday so we were able to set up most of our decor and have our rehearsal on the night before our wedding. It was perfect! On our first visit to the barn we were walked all over the property and shown all of the unique places to have our ceremony. We chose a spot underneath a big beautiful tree and Darinda, the owner, hung adorable bird cages/lanterns in the tree for us. She also helped us decorate inside of the barn with her own ideas and decorations, which gave the barn the perfect touch I was hoping for. Darinda is spectacular and willing to help with anything and everything. She made me feel very special on our big day. Everything about the barn, our ceremony, reception, photographer (Firm Grip Photography) and DJ (Kurt Streblow) was everything I have ever dreamt of! I HIGHLY recommend this property and everyone who works with Avon Wedding Barn. Reviewed on 19-01-2016
