The Barn at Faith Farms Reviews
Jessica Agnew(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-02-2022 Please do yourself a favor and book this venue! Regarding the “feel” of this venue, you seriously are treated like family. No question is off limits and you’re taken care of explicitly. The bridal suite you get ready in is so beautiful and comforting. The venue itself is so convenient and every detail is thought of. I could go on but every moment is magic there. Regarding specifics:- bridal house on grounds you can book the night before. Gorgeous interior with kitchen and beautiful getting ready space. Wedding guest bathroom is attached on outside. - groom house across the street is awesome!- so many ceremony options for all weather. - beautiful options for first looks (behind the fireplace is a beautiful garden!!!- cleanup is part of packages and is seriously a lifesaver on time and effort!- there is plenty of space everywhere for everything. This is not a venue that’s short on space. - their in house store of decor is every brides dream when you need extra help getting the perfect look for tables, aisle runners, etc. - the FIREPLACE!!!! Absolutely stunning. The pews!!! The head table! The barn doors! The outside gazebo! The chandelier! These beautiful accents seriously shine in all my wedding photos. - James and Marissa have worked tirelessly to create even more updates such as closing in the fireplace area with glass walls. I’m so jealous our wedding happened before that but even so, it was perfect and lacked nothing!- Marissa and James are the kindest owners and make you feel so taken care of! They have earned every ounce of praise!- Tonya works with them as a wedding coordinator and she is seriously the brains running the show like a well oiled machine! I knew she had my back on everything and she made every detail so easy to plan! As a perfectionist bride who had a very specific venue in mind, I can honestly say that any bride would be lucky to have their wedding here. I wish I could go back and relive our day a thousand times and that is in no small part due to the immense role The Barn at Faith Farms played in our big day. Rest assured you are making the right decision booking this venue. You will not regret a single thing! Reviewed on 20-02-2023

Our daughter just got married at The Barn At Faith Farms! This wedding venue is absolutely beautiful!! We were told by numerous people that her wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! The landscaping is so pretty with so many places to take pictures! The glass garage doors down the side of the barn allow you to enjoy the beautiful landscape while staying nice and cool inside! The stacked stone fireplace they were married in front of is so pretty! And the bridal cottage is adorable and spacious. Marissa and staff were a dream to work with! I never once had to worry about anything being done because, it was already taken care of. The entire day was absolutely perfect and I am so thankful we found this venue! Reviewed on 11-10-2023

Everything is so clean and they are so accommodating to anything you want to do! The venue is absolutely beautiful and they have lots of decorations for use as well. Seriously, could not have asked for a better venue or better staff!! The most kind and thoughtful family who truly just want your day to go perfect.

The Barn at Faith Farms is a truly beautiful venue I knew the moment I saw it this is where I want to get married. Besides it’s charm and beauty this venue is run by an amazing family and a wonderful staff who made our day more perfect than I could have ever imagined. So many people have said our wedding was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings they had been too and although I’m somewhat biased I couldn’t agree more! I can’t say enough how happy and grateful I am that I chose The Barn at Faith Farms to be my wedding venue. Reviewed on 07-06-2023
Lesley Tate(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2022 My son and daughter-in-law just held their wedding at The Barn at Faith Farms. It was lovely. Marissa and Tonya were very accessible and helpful in the months leading up to the day of the wedding. I am not from the area, so I appreciated their help and additional information as I worked things long distance. Marissa usually returning emails within a day or less. Liked the three different spaces for the wedding, cocktail hour, and dinner; so no turn needed while guests waited. I would highly recommend this venue. Reviewed on 28-12-2022
Carly Morris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 Love love loved this venue. It was absolutely beautiful, the staff were amazing, and the whole venue helps create a stress free day. It poured rain on my wedding day, but because of the fabulous venue set up I still got to have an open air wedding ceremony on the covered patio with the beautiful fireplace backdrop. It was so nice to not have to have a plan B for rain and to not sacrifice anything I wanted out of the venue because of that. This venue includes a day of coordinator, which made all the difference! She helped coordinate all the details for us, from decor (which the venue provided 85% of!), vendor contact and arrivals, rehearsal, cleanup, and more.The venue also has great getting ready areas for all of the bridal party. My bridesmaids and I had a blast getting ready in their beautiful bridal suite. Lastly the venue in and of itself is just gorgeous. There are photo ops everywhere you look. The whole venue is well designed and the surrounding property beautiful. I highly recommend the Barn at Faith Farms! Reviewed on 09-11-2022
DeeDee Carrier-Stooksbury(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-10-2021 If you are on the edge of booking this venue, GO AHEAD AND DO IT! My husband and I did the all-Inclusive package for our wedding last October and The Barn at Faith Farms made our planning experience so special and stress free! I could go on and on about how beautiful the whole place is from the mountain scenery to the fireplace and all the way down to the bridal suite. The owners, Marissa and James, were so fast at responding to our questions, and they were very easy to work with. They gave great insight on different vendors and wedding advice. AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON TONYA! She was our coordinator that works at the venue, and she went above and beyond to make our day the best day ever! Even though she is titled as the “day of coordinator,” I feel as if she was working with me every step of the way. From my first meeting (venue tour) with her, she made me feel comfortable and welcomed and had me so excited to plan my wedding. I knew immediately that this was the place I had to have and booked it within an hour after the tour! Still to this day, I get so many compliments on not only how beautiful everything was, but also on how smooth the process of the whole day went! This place and these people will be the best investment you make for your big day! Reviewed on 20-10-2022
Madison Full(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 Incredible. Beautiful. Amazing. I could go on forever about this venue. It’s insanely gorgeous with multiple ceremony locations. The barn is PERFECT for the reception. But wanna know what is better than the actual space, THE PEOPLE! When I tell you James and Marissa are AMAZING! They were so helpful, and kind through the entire process. Don’t get me started on one of the coordinators Tonya who is a literal angel! Not only was she on top of everything and beyond helpful but just an absolute genuinely caring human that just wants to see you happy. James and Marissa had just welcomed their precious baby boy into the world but James still found time to make his way down to ensure everything went well AND gave us a box of cookies. They go the extra mile and I could talk about them forever. I couldn’t recommend a better venue, or better people if I tried! Reviewed on 20-10-2022

Kaitlynn Lusk(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 When my husband and I got engaged in July of 2020, I immediately started googling local venues. I had a couple of places in mind until a coworker recommended The Barn at Faith Farms. As soon as I saw pictures of it, I knew I had to reach out and schedule a visit. It ended up being the only venue I ever saw in person. The venue itself is so lovely and charming, but what won me over was meeting the owner Marissa and her sweet family. They were so kind and you just knew they were going to do everything within their power to give you the wedding you have always hoped for. They were wonderful, informative, and easy to work with at every stage of this process. I will be recommending The Barn at Faith Farms to others for years to come, just like my coworker did for me.

Our guests are still raving and have said it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were amazing and so helpful.

Taylor Gouge(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2020 I spent almost a month looking online at venues before going to tour them but I didn’t have to look very long after I found this venue. I knew the second I pulled into the parking lot that this was our wedding venue! We looked at one other venue that same day and went immediately back to Marissa to set a date. We fell in love with everything about this place from the get go. Marissa was the easiest person to work with and SO helpful through the entire process! It’s already so beautiful that we didn’t need extravagant decorations to distract from the venue itself. I can’t say enough good things about this venue! If it was possible to give them more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. All of our guests had to drive a bit to get here because we did choose a venue an hour away from where we live. But as soon as they saw it, everyone understood why we would choose a place a bit further from home. It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. One of the easiest and quickest decisions, out of the thousands I had to make as a bride, was choosing Marissa and James at the Barn at Faith Farms! We’re so happy with how everything turned out!
