The Barn at Aspen Acres Reviews
Diane H(guest)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2021 I attended as a guest, the wedding where the owner refuses to refund the newlyweds their deposit due to their septic backing up . How is it the fault of the wedded couple where the owner who is hosting one wedding after another neglects to maintain their septic system? It is NOT the customers problem, it is your problem. To worsen the matter, the smell from the backed up system could have easily ruined what was supposed to be a memorable event, not to mention guests could have gotten sick!! The water canteens had tepid water temp, it was a warm day and I ask for ice and they acted as if I was asking for something I shouldn’t be asking for. The outside area where wedding took place had what appeared to be buried irrigation lines but not properly covered Which left an uneven terrain. One guest actually twisted their ankle that I could see and it happened from that area. As the evening went on I had requested coffee and they said I would have to go talk to the bride and groom if I wanted coffee. I have been to a lot of weddings in beautiful places and have fond memories of each but I have to say this wedding venue falls extremely short in many areas. Owner you should do the right thing and give that couple their deposit back. That sad story should be Brought to the attention of the Better Business Bureau within that area because this simply is not right.!! OK I guess I would up my rating if you return the deposit to that couple!!! Reviewed on 06-10-2021
L Simunek(guest)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2021 I don’t write reviews, but what I witnessed at this venue was so unbelievable and bizarre, it was surreal. There are a multitude of reasons why you should not patronize this business, but let’s start with the biggest, most offensive reason. The behavior of the Owner, who ironically, refers to herself as a “service-driven entrepreneur”.1. UNPROFESSIONAL -This venue, for whatever reason, cannot acquire the appropriate liquor license, so the Owner, has her employees, on foot and in a golf carts, follow any wedding guest to and from their vehicles because she suspects that they may be consuming outside alcohol. The Owner, is not only unable to act in anyway professional, she is RUDE, IRRATIONAL and borderline PSYCHOTIC. She approached Guests and demanded that they hand over their water bottles and drinks (even the drinks that they purchased from the bar). She then proceeded to open the water bottles and SNIFF the contents. Finding nothing she would hand it back to the guest! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND UNBELIEVABLY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR FROM THIS WOMAN. She did this to at least five guests. And made sure that everyone knew, as the owner, she wielded all the power to throw ANYONE out of the venue at her sole discretion. ***Please note there was no apologies to any of the guests after she determined there was no alcohol in the bottles! One guest refused to hand over their drinks, stating that she had no right to search their belongings and pointed out that it is not safe or reasonable to demand that in a PANDEMIC. This is where her total meltdown began. She raised her voice, incoherently yelling at the guest “it’s a felony and she could call the cops”. Another guest interjected, trying to calm her down, saying something to the affect of, “do you really want to do that and ruin the bride and groom’s wedding day”, to which The Owner replied, “I DON’T CARE!” The Owner is NOT capable of acting tactfully or professionally and has no regard for her clients - the Bride and Groom. It is understandable wanting to stop outside alcohol, but the way she handled it was incredibly inappropriate. She continued to follow, badger and harass the guests who didn’t allow her to sniff their drinks. After conversations with locals, it became known that this is not an isolated incident and similar situations have occurred at past events.2. CEREMONY SITE - The ceremony was held on the grass, riddled with 2 inch deep trenches, making very uneven terrain to safely walk on. Several female guest twisted ankles, lost balance and almost fell. These trenches running across where everyone must walk is just a blatant failure to provide a safe environment for her clients. I assume, eventually she will be sued by someone who gets seriously hurt.3. STAFF - The wedding was scheduled to go until 11:00pm. The Owner and her employees started closing up chairs and tables and cleaning up around 9:00pm. This made guests feel uncomfortable and that it was time to get out. It felt intentional to get people to leave so that The Owner and her employees could go home early. Because the Owner really ruined this wedding event for so many guests, I would NEVER return to this venue for any event.South Dakota State Parks have breathtaking views and venues for weddings for a fraction of the cost and you won’t have to worry about your guests being attacked by this completely unprofessional, unstable, horrendous woman (aka, \"The Owner\").

Kaitie Shaw(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2021 Peace. Something my husband and I prayed for before we chose our venue. There was no doubt that The Barn would be aesthetically perfect for a wedding, but would it be a place we would feel peace on the most important day of our lives.. We visited The Barn when it was still under construction and saw pictures of the end result, but we still couldn’t be quite sure how it would look in the end! After meeting Tia and Dan it turned out this place didn’t only bring us peace, but it also brought the most personable owners we could’ve ever asked for. Flash forward two years and a postponed wedding later we had our dream day! Our wedding wouldn’t have been possible without not only the space of the venue, but the people. Not only was it beautiful views, but the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly! We will be forever grateful for The Barn and all the people that came with it. If you’re looking for more than just a place to host your wedding, but a personable experience that you’ll never forget then The Barn At Aspen Acres is your place. Reviewed on 21-06-2021
Cheyenne Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2020 Absolutely stunning! I don't have adequate words to say about how special our wedding day at the Barn was. The space is even more beautiful in person, and it's modern, clean, and versatile so that each bride's individual style can show through. From the bridal loft to the kitchen to the outdoor ceremony site, everything was immaculate and gorgeous- our guests from all over the country were raving about it all night.The entire staff was professional, accommodating, eager to help, and responsive. Tia is the absolute best to work with, and makes you feel so special and welcome at her venue! The Barn simply continues to get better and better- book here asap, because there's simply nothing else like it and you won't be disappointed!HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Reviewed on 02-11-2020
Julia Seamans(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-07-2020 The Barn at Aspen Acres truly allowed me to live out my fairytale wedding. Everywhere you look the views of the hills and rolling fields are absolutely breathtaking when you are outside. Then you go inside and honestly are completely taken aback by the beauty. The breathtaking floor to ceiling windows that focus directly on Crow Peak steal the show for sure, but everywhere you look from floor to ceiling the entire building is beautiful. The bridal loft above creates such a gorgeous and fun area for all the girls to get ready together. The staff was helpful from the time we started working together to the end. They were very easy to work with and communicate with. If I had any questions I was responded to very quickly and they really made sure the entire day ran as smoothly and perfectly as possible. On the day of our wedding everyone was so unbelievably kind and helpful it was more than we could have expected! Truly if you are considering this venue let me tell you it is so worth it. The entire place is so magical and it truly captures the magic of both Spearfish and your everlasting love. Reviewed on 19-10-2020
Phoebe Breed(bridesmaid)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2019 Tia from the Barn made sure that this venue is everything that a bride would need - especially since she was the first bride to be married there! This venue is a blank slate for anything you could possibly dream of, and photographs beautifully. I was thrilled to be a bridesmaid at a wedding at this venue, and I'm excited to get married there myself one day! Reviewed on 14-08-2019
