jody loe(other)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 would not recommend this place to anyone!!! owners are RUDE, and they decided to ruin my sons wedding!! they targeted people they didnt care for! i went outside several times with my 40 oz stanley cup and smoked and came back in with the same cup!! Not once was i told i could not do that!! or checked to see if i had alcohol in my cup!! one of my sons friends went outside with his redbull that was bought at their bar set up, stood in view of everyone and smoked a cigarette, then came back in with the same redbull and they shut the bar down because he was outside and came back in with a can he bought there!! red bull is NOT alcohol!!!there was handicapped people at the wedding and the place absolutely sucks for that!! when i asked if there was an elevator i was told there was a lift chair, but the lady working at the time wasnt sure how to run it!!the floor in the upstairs part of the barn is HORRIBLE!! my daughters chair leg went through a hole in the floor! and there was many spongy boards in the floor!! the chairs that were set up were cheap uncomfortable walmart chairs that felt like they were going to buckle even under the weight of my tiny 6 year old granddaughter!in order to get food you had to go downstairs, and then try to maneuver a plate, fork, knife, napkin, cup and whatever else up a flight of stairs to sit down to eat! not good when there is kids!!!THIS PLACE ABSOLUTELY Was the worst venue i have EVER experienced in my life!!!! AND THE MANAGEMENT ARE SOME OF THE WORST PEOPLE IVE EVER MET!!!!Save yourself A TON of money and book some where else!! this place is highly highly overpriced!!! Reviewed on 17-10-2022
Tyler Frankl(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 We rented this place for our wedding. All started well but ended very unprofessional. We paid alot of money for this place to not be able to start alcohol until after the ceremony. We drank out of our vehicles for sure outside of the venue until we were able to purchase at the bar. After bar was open not one person to my knowledge was getting alcohol from anywhere from the bar. The management tried kicking me out the first day for having my own cup with water in it that they \"thought\" could be alcohol. Second night the very poor management went through our personal areas for the grooms and saw we had empty beer cans. And the gut that kept going throughthe owner got in my face and tried fighting me our stuff was a mouthy idiot. The owner got in my face and tried intimidating me to fight him cause he didnt like my thoughts of his shitty staff. Anyone thinking of getting married do not spend the money here. Go anywhere else as long as these people do not own it. These people completely wrecked our wedding and still charged us full price for a cery out dated venue. Reviewed on 17-10-2022
Andrew Fuller(guest)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 The Barn at Dunvilla Complet and utter waste of money extremely rude disrespectful and snotty owners (liars) place was set up terrible the owner and the workers for this property (not the great bartender who’s not part of this terrible company) but they were just completely unprofessional and should never own any business what so ever they complete ruined my best friend and his wife’s wedding night over half can of red bull that was bought at the venue and even called the police on the groom and kicked everybody out 3.5 hours early on his wedding night for zero reason I would not recommend this venue for anybody for any occasion whatsoever for $8000 plus other amenities it was a complete waste of time and money. The staff and owner completely ruined there wedding Over a half can of Red Bull they said you’re not allowed to bring anything outside and bring it back in even if you’re just stepping out the door to have a cigarette what a joke these people are trash Reviewed on 16-10-2022

Tori Lien(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-02-2020 Looking back, I don't know how we ever could have went with a different wedding venue other than The Barn. Linda and Jon were phenomenal to work with and really went out of their way to make our weekend great - from setting up, the day of, and after the wedding. We utilized so many of their wedding inventory and it would not have had the same aesthetics without it! Reviewed on 10-04-2020

Ross Wilson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2018 We loved The Barn at Dunvilla for our wedding. Eric, the owner, is very laid back and easy to work with. It was very convenient to have options for centerpieces and decorations. Our ceremony was outside, and Eric was very reassuring about options in the face of bad weather. Gorgeous site for both the ceremony and reception. Reviewed on 03-08-2018
