I cannot say enough amazing things about The Barn at Shady Grove. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and made the night feel magical. Shannon and Ken were a blessing to work with. They made the day move along with ease and were there to answer any questions we had along the way in the planning process. They had recommendations for all types of vendors, and the vendors they recommended that we chose to go with were excellent. Everyone worked well together and made for a flawless and seemingly effortless day. As a bride I felt no stress. I was able to relax and truly enjoy the evening, and this is mostly due to the help of Shannon and Ken. I absolutely recommend you choose this stunning venue if you have the chance.

Everything from the tables being set up to the decor they have being available to use for no additional charge this venue has everything you are looking for. Beautiful landscape for pictures. We even got our own bridal suite and groom suite with easy access of borrowing the golf cart.

Ken and Shannon are so patient and attentive and respond quickly to anything you need or ask. The groomās place is perfect and makes the day so fun for the men while the bridal house is perfect for the ladies to dress and hang out before the wedding. The grounds are well kept and the barn needs nothing added. It was the perfect setting for the day and Ken even watched the weather and let us know of an impending unexpected rain storm coming. He let us know and we said move inside but he let us know we could shift quickly if needed and we made the decision at go time and he let the crowd know too so everyone got seated and we started on time and got the wedding in before the rain arrived. We looked at so many venues before booking this one and have no regrets. It had so many extra personal touches and you felt like it was your home for the day.
