Tyler Olson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2022 I can’t say enough things about this amazing venue. The owner Kari goes above and beyond for her brides and their family and friends. She helped set up specific things and ensure we had everything as we wanted. The barn now as A/C! 1000/10 recommend Reviewed on 22-08-2022
Julia Sniegowski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2021 Not only is the Barn on Jackson the most beautiful venue EVER, it has so many wonderful bonus features. First and foremost, Kari and her husband are the owners of the barn and immediately felt like family. Even before we had booked the venue, Kari answered all of our questions, was patient and so unbelievably kind-she not once pressured us into booking the venue. Secondly, not only is the barn itself beautiful, but the option for an outdoor ceremony gave the most beautiful backdrop with a grassy field and tree line in the distance. It is a two story barn with a built in bar downstairs and PLENTY of room for whatever your heart desires! Third, (the biggest bonus) is it comes with a large warehouse full of decor donated by past weddings. Table decor, chalkboards, signs, linens, vases, etc. Literally a warehouse full of rustic/antique decor sure to make your rustic farmhouse dream wedding come true! And lastly, you are able to rent a farmhouse on site for your family/bridal party/whoever you'd like to stay in, plus a separate honeymoon cottage for the wedding night. The farmhouse has a pool to swim in, and plenty of rooms & beds to host up to 16 people (or more if you have air mattresses-there is plenty of room! From the minute we scheduled a tour, until the minute we departed the day after our wedding, we were well taken care of, listened to, and made to feel like the most special bride and groom. We will 100 times over recommend the Barn on Jackson to anyone who is considering a venue in the Washington area. You will not be disappointed! Reviewed on 17-06-2021
Emma McDaniel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 I never had imagined my dream venue but The Barn on Jackson was definitely it!! From the initial walk-through and questions and conversations with Kari all the way until our wedding day, everything to do with the Barn was perfect. Kari is SO nice and helpful and made sure my husband and I were always the happy ones. From some of the brief pictures I had seen I was a little hesitant that I would like it but goodness, this place is BEAUTIFUL in person and got better and better every time we visited. It was also perfect to have an all indoor wedding at. My wedding was May 25th, but being in Washington I planned an indoor wedding in case of rain and lo and behold, it poured for a bit on our big day. But it was no stress since we had planned the ceremony upstairs, cocktail hour downstairs while the ceremony half of the barn was switched around for dinner, and then brought everyone back up.And finally, the piece that wound up helping us and I'm sure many other couples, Kari has another giant garage FULL of wedding decor left from past weddings! It was so nice not having to buy a ton of miscellaneous items that we would never use again.Overall, (if you've made it this far), my wedding wound up pretty dang perfect, and I know a large part of that came from this venue Reviewed on 28-07-2019
Abby Booth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2018 We were so pleased with the Barn on Jackson. This venue was perfect for our wedding day offering two indoor spaces and an outdoor option, a bridal room and grooms suite, plus a storage space full of decorations included in your cost. Additionally the owner offers up her large farm home for guests at a low cost. The property is complete with a bride and groom cottage for the wedding night. Reviewed on 12-11-2018
Laura Martin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 We 10000000% Made the right choice when picking the barn on Jackson. Not only is the venue beautiful and it feels like you are in a fairy tale, but the owners are friendly and great with communication! They have a ton of decorations and items there so we hardly had to buy anything (mostly just floral). Loved working with Kari, she made this whole wedding planning experience feel like a breeze!

Kristine Barnes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2016 We had a fantastic time at the barn. Kari was a big reason we picked the barn on jackson. She is the owner and incredibly friendly and kind and easy going. You feel welcomed as if you were family. We sent to the barn about 4 or 5 times between booking it and the big day, it was easy to stop on by, we took save the dates there and went a few times to figure out the layout or take measurements. Theres no restrictions on food or drinks or decorations, etc... Kari is very helpful with all the questions you or your wedding party have and offers suggestions if asked. The barn comes with twinkle lights and chandeliers already up so the place doesn't require a lot of decorations, its already beautiful and romantic. We got loads of complements on the place and everyone that walked into the barn for the first time was amazed at how beautiful it is. We recommend this place whole heartedly! Reviewed on 27-10-2016
Allison Benedict(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2016 This place is absolutely gorgeous and worked perfectly for my wedding. It fit our 250-280 guests and we had room for dancing upstairs or downstairs so it worked for different ways to set up. Kari and her husband helped in any way that was needed to make sure our day went as planned. She provided plenty of tables and decorations to choose from and her husband helped with clean up as well as helping with parking. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a barn venue for their wedding or any type of party/get together! Reviewed on 26-09-2016
Elizabeth Walsh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2016 The Barn was a beautiful place to have a wedding. I was told over and over again that ours was the best wedding anyone had ever been to. The venue is fully stocked with tons of decorations available for use, there is a kitchen and even a bar on the lower level of the barn. Kari (the owner) was more than helpful and patient through everything. I could not imagine a more perfect setting for my dream wedding. Reviewed on 06-09-2016
Hanna (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-05-2014 I have always wanted to get married in a barn and this place was phenomenal. Kari and her husband were fantastic to work with -- they were both very friendly and inviting. She was so excited to show us around the property. It is beautiful there. The barn has two stories that are both very open and very well lit and offer a ton of space for various activities. The fields out back are gorgeous. This venue has so much to offer -- it is spectacular! Reviewed on 17-06-2014
rachel riggles(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2013 This venue is so amazing! We loved everything about it including the owners! Kari and Mark were so nice and helpful from day one, all the way thru, and on the big day. That is more important than you might realize when you're first starting to plan your wedding. The barn offers indoor and outdoor space and whichever you decide to use, it is beautiful! There is a huge upstairs open space, which we used for our reception that also has french doors that open up to a cute little balcony overlooking the manicured, yet rustic field out back which is where we decided to have our ceremony. The barn is built in a hillside so downstairs is a whole other big open space. There is an awesome little bar built in the last stall downstairs which has huge barn doors that open up to a patio area as well. If you are looking for a stress-free, laid back, beautiful, unique venue at a reasonable price, this is it! Reviewed on 07-10-2013
Morgan Harter(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-06-2014 My partner found this venue through Facebook and we immediately called to book a visit. From the very first conversation Kari was friendly, patient, informative and very organized. My partner and I were timid at first because we are a same-sex couple and we were unsure how that might go over. That concern passed as soon as she met us getting out of our car! She was engaged and friendly and excited to show us around. The moment we walked in the barn we knew this was the place for us! Decorations were already hung [and beautiful] and the barn is spacious and well lit. Kari walked us through the whole property to show us the barn, the camping site [they have two great little spots down by the river that is about a quarter of a mile walk from the barn], and all the various locations on the property where we could take pictures. We didn't feel burdensome to her or rushed - I think we were there for close to 2 hours. Kari was gracious enough to show us every part of the venue that would be available to us. After we were done walking around, Kari said \"Ok I will give you guys a few minutes to talk this over - come find me in the greenhouse when you're ready.\" This was perfect because obviously we had a lot to talk about! To me, that says Kari just \"get's it\" and made the whole experience a no hassle, straight-forward, very easy decision for us. \r\rThe property is beautiful and gives you tons of options for pictures, overnight accommodations [they also have a house you can rent to stay in], and the option for an indoor or outdoor ceremony [important for us seeing as it could rain on our outdoor plans], and Kari seems willing to discuss any ideas you may have. We have not had our wedding here yet [we are booked for June 2014] but already we are at ease. Parking won't be an issue there is tons of space - even RV compatible [I am sure they have some space limitations -not sure what those are]. Kari has options for local caterers and also works with a youth program which is starting their own catering business that you can use, too! Ask her about the project - it is pretty awesome! They also have some food options from their greenhouse but are limited to what's in season.\r\rOverall we are just so excited about The Barn on Jackson. It is a GREAT bargain for everything that you get for the weekend. And it is a great bargain for the attentiveness that Kari provides to making your celebration special. We are looking forward to working with her and really feel we have found the perfect venue with all the pieces falling into place! I highly recommend The Barn on Jackson! Reviewed on 03-10-2013
Jordan Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2013 This place is AMAZING!!! I booked the barn over a year ago while it was still unfinished and ended up 100% satisfied! It is inexpensive while still getting a nice quality space. \rWe held the ceremony in the back field which made for a lovely back drop & had the reception (150 guests) in the upper part of the barn. There are plenty of options for settings with the lower part of the barn being a great setting for a more intimate event. While we did decorate some, there is so much that they have to offer already present that it would not require much additional work. \rThe owners are extremely helpful & willing to offer much assistance. They were awesome to work with and we really enjoyed getting to know them. \rI would definitely recommend this space to anyone looking for a more rustic style wedding! Reviewed on 17-08-2013
