Melissa An(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-04-2021 We are thrilled we chose the Barnett as our venue - for both our ceremony and reception. Joe and the Barnett team are true professionals - everyone was incredibly warm, flexible, and accommodating from beginning to end. The team created an absolutely seamless transition between our ceremony and reception, helped coordinate our ceremony and so many of our details day-of, and were extremely adaptable to all of our bumps along the road. Joe also helped coordinate with many of our vendors to make our jobs easier. Not to mention, that the Barnett is absolutely stunning - we loved how it felt spacious but also intimate; plus, we really loved the many spaces and alcoves (balcony, cigar lounge, bridal suite) throughout the building. We got so many compliments from our guests - both in-person and livestreaming - with how beautiful our venue was. We highly recommend the Barnett to any engaged couples out there!

I cannot stress enough how magical the Barnett on Washington was for our December wedding! From the moment I stepped through the door on our first tour, I knew this place was everything I wanted and more for our big day. Their staff is helpful and accommodating and the venue itself is stunning. The spiral staircases, the beautifully designed custom bar, the balcony- this venue is a must-see! Joe and Vicki truly know how to plan an event without a hitch. We had several specifics we wanted but they were so laid back and made everything come together with ease. It was amazing and so very enjoyable for all our guests. They went above and beyond and it definitely didn’t go unnoticed so thank you Joe and Vicki!!! Reviewed on 08-12-2023

The Barnett was the BEST choice for a wedding venue. It is so beautiful and all of our guests adored it. You barely have to decorate because it is so pretty. It is small and intimate and the stairs were perfect to have our wedding party come down. They have both an indoor and outdoor bar and had fantastic bartenders. There is a secure parking lot and they do offer valet as an add on. Working with Joe was seriously the best. He is so helpful and makes the process so much more fun. Reviewed on 10-11-2023

The venue was beautiful and classy and a perfect size for our wedding ceremony and reception with ~100 guests. My wedding party and I enjoyed making a grand entrance down the staircase for the ceremony. Most of all, Joe and Vicki were so helpful communicating before our wedding and keeping things flowing smoothly the day of event. We had planned everything from out of town and weren't able to see the venue until the week before. In the end, we were so happy with choosing the Barnett for our wedding ceremony and reception!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding at this exquisite venue, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we toured the venue with Vicki: the ballroom, the bar area, courtyard, everything was absolutely perfect. The attentive staff, specifically Joe, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawlessly executed. They were easy to work with during the planning of the wedding answering any and all questions we might have had. During the rehearsal, Joe walked my wedding party through every last detail of the timeline and made everyone feel very prepared and at ease. The picturesque setting provided a dreamy backdrop for our special day, making wonderful wedding photos. Our guests were equally impressed, raving about the impeccable service and the enchanting atmosphere.

From the moment we stepped foot in the Barnett we knew it was going to be the perfect venue for us, and it did not disappoint! I wish we could relive our wedding night over and over. Our guests could not stop raving about every last detail, and the Barnett staff plaid a HUGE role in that - they don’t just provide a space to get married in, they help make sure every last aspect you’ve planned goes off without a hitch so you can enjoy your wedding without having to be the one to set up, do the room flip, etc. Because of the communication and interactions with their staff prior to the wedding, I had total confidence in them on the day of, and I didn’t have to do anything but enjoy our day. It was honestly mind blowing how they were able to partner with all of the vendors to set up, make sure our very large wedding party was in the right place at the right time, seamlessly flip the room from ceremony to reception, host our guests, and make us feel special and celebrated… just a masterpiece, and I remember taking a moment at the reception to look around and admire how beautiful everything was and what had been accomplished with the help of the team, and it honestly warmed my heart.

Joe is FANTASTIC! He is very detail-oriented and he is a big reason why I had so little stress on the big day. Joe made me, a VERY Type A person, completely comfortable with having him take the lead on making sure all of my very carefully planned details were brought to life. All I had to do was bring my decorations beforehand and then pick them up the following day. He and his team took care of setting up and taking everything down.

The staff at the Barnett was so incredible to work with - professional, accommodating, and fun. You could tell that Joe and Misty really loved their jobs and genuinely care about the brides and grooms that they work with. The venue itself is so unique and incredible. It's a newer venue, so none of our guests had been there before, and everyone raved about what an incredible space it is. It being right next door to Urban Chestnut was great for our guests too - it became the unofficial party between the ceremony and reception. The set up of the Barnett is also perfect with separate places for the bride and groom to get ready without running into each other before the ceremony. Also, the stairs make for an incredible entrance! I have to say one 'bonus' to the set up of the Barnet is that if the bride comes down the stairs, she will be waiting on the second level, which gives you the opportunity to see your entire bridal party walk down the isle (at least about half way). I thought this was a really awesome unexpected benefit because most brides never get to see that if they're entering through the same space as their bridal party. I'd definitely recommend the Barnett to anyone looking for a unique and timeless wedding venue with an incredibly attentive and caring staff! Reviewed on 21-10-2016

Josiah Guitian(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2016 Having our wedding reception at Barnett on Washington was a dream come true for my Husband and I, from the first moment we saw the space and met the staff, to leaving our reception on our wedding night. Barnett’s was not the first place we booked for our wedding reception. Eight months from our wedding date, our original venue called us to tell us they were going out of business, and that we would get our full deposit back, but needed to find a new venue that would match our budget and hold our guests. They recommended Barnett’s, and I called right away. Within an hour, Misty greeted me at the door of Barnett’s, and we were immediately in awe of the beauty of this historic location. The unique grandeur of the space was far beyond what I had dreamed of us having for our special day, and we booked with them that day. We knew right away that Barnett’s was going to be even more incredible the first space we booked. From that point on, the whole process couldn’t have been easier. They helped us to choose a caterer, coordinated everything perfectly with our photographer and band, and honored every one of our requests. Whenever I sent Joe or Misty an email, they always responded within the day, sometime within minutes. They even allowed us to have our food tasting with caterers there, as well as practice our wedding dance in the space the week of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, both Joe and Misty were very accommodating, and most importantly, calm! We always had comfort that everything would go smoothly and perfectly. The bar service and valet parking were a huge bonus to our guests. We are so happy that things worked out as they did, because Barnett’s was the best and first choice by far for our wedding. We highly recommend Barnett on Washington for your wedding reception or special event. We give them 10 stars!! Reviewed on 17-08-2016
Nicole Evans(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2016 We had our wedding and reception at the Barnett on Washington last weekend and I cannot rave enough about the beauty of the venue and the top notch service we received from the coordinators Misty and Joe. The venue itself is beautiful and needs minimal decoration. We did some vases with floating pearls and candles for our centerpieces and that was perfect. Our photographers went crazy with the pictures inside on the stairs, at the bar, and then outside of the venue at sunset. Our guests were thoroughly impressed. Its been 10 days and everyone is still talking about our wedding. Misty and Joe stayed on top of everything with our vendors and all of the details of our wedding. They had great ideas for our ceremony. The bridesmaids and I came down the stairs and met the groomsmen who came up from the bottom, then walked down the aisle together. I was nervous about walking alone so I met my soon to be husband at the bottom of the stairs as well and we walked together to the fountain where our alter was. It was absolutely perfect. I can not thank them enough for our spectacular day. Reviewed on 20-06-2016
Alissa Adair(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2016 I had the immense pleasure of having my wedding reception with Barnett. Everything was just stunning! The place takes your breath away the moment you walk in. My parents, fiance , and I knew it was the perfect venue for us! Through the entire process, the managers Misty and Joe were absolutely wonderful! They made the entire planning process so amazing, they went above and beyond their duty, answering all of my questions and worries. I have to admit I had a few freak outs, but they handled it so well and put me at ease. Joe was on hand the day of and made sure the entire day went perfectly. Everyone I invited mentioned how beautiful the space was and it was the perfect size for my guest list of 150. I really can't stress how great this location and people are! It is such a beautiful and unique location for a wedding. I knew i didnt want the standard ballroom and this place was perfectly accomodating. My only regret is not having my ceremony here as well. If I could do it over, I would have done everything with the team at Barnett! Reviewed on 25-05-2016

LaKeisha Lewis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2015 If your looking for classic, elegant and timeless this is the venue for you. The Barnett will sure turn your wedding into an event. This is not your typical venue, the details of this place really sets them apart from the rest, so unique decorations are a minimum requirement to get the look you want it truly speaks for itself. Joe is the man! He is not your typical event coordinator he's truly a planner. He works for you from the time you set up your first appointment until you pack your car to leave after your event. He will do whatever it takes to make your wedding dreams come true. I could not image working with anyone else.
