Hope Van Derostyne(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-03-2023 I’m going to try my best but I’m not sure this review will give enough credit to the amazing team at The Barns of Kanak. I stumbled upon it on The Knot, but my sister had a friend say that I needed to give this venue a tour. As soon as we arrived my husband and I were just in love with the spacious and beautiful scenery the venue has to offer. Every single spot there is just picture perfect for anyone’s wedding day. One of the best things they have to offer is their service. These guys are exceptional and are literally there with you every step of the way. My husband and I keep saying that our wedding was so much fun and just magical. The staff there made that happen. A special shout out to Kylie and Delaney for making our day so special. Our friends and family keep raving about our wedding. Take the tour of The Barns of Kanak, I think you’ll fall in love just like we did. Reviewed on 18-04-2023

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with the Barns of Kanak for our September 2023 wedding, and we cannot say a single negative thing! The entire Barns of Kanak staff is truly wonderful. They provide wedding coordinators starting at 60 days out from your wedding, and we were lucky enough to work with Delaney. Delaney is not only wonderful at her job, but also an overall genuinely wonderful woman! She handled all the large details of the wedding day in addition to the small details, like carrying a bag full of emergency items on the days of and coming up with alternate plans quickly if needed. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, everything was on time and flowed seamlessly. The owners, Tom and Diane, are also truly wonderful people. My maid of honor unfortunately was sick throughout the wedding morning, and without hesitation or even asking, Tom drove to the nearest grocery store and bought her ginger ale and various snacks. Both of our families were in awe of just how kind and invested everyone at BoK was in our special day, it really is a family-oriented venue. The BoK grounds were immaculate, and they have many different areas to make your special day reflective of you both as a couple. All I can say is THANK YOU to all the Barns of Kanak staff who made our wedding day a dream come true. Reviewed on 16-10-2023

Where do I even begin!? I cannot say enough great things about the Barns of Kanak and all the staff. From the moment we toured the venue with Kylie I knew this is where I wanted my now husband & I to get married. The venue is absolutely BREATHTAKING and checked off all the boxes of what I wanted in a venue. There is a bridal house, groom’s house, decor to pick from, and most importantly a beautiful property. Thankfully the weather on our wedding day was perfect, so we were able to get married outside of the red barn. However, just incase the weather wasn’t the best, there is a beautiful covered metal barn which is such a relief to have a plan B and alleviated a lot of stress. My husbands parents live out of state and we reached out to BOK when they were coming to visit asking if we could bring them to see the venue & without hesitation Diane said absolutely and scheduled time that weekend for us to come by! We had the pleasure of having Delaney as our coordinator & I cannot say enough great things about her! She was always on top of everything! She guided us through everything we needed to do for the wedding & was always available for any questions we had & quick to respond. She always had a smile on her face & never made us feel like we were being a bother. During our 60 day meeting, she walked us through our timeline and connected with each of our vendors, which allowed us to truly enjoy planning our wedding and not stress about connecting with our vendors about all the little details as our wedding approached. I can honestly say that on our wedding day my husband & I did not feel one ounce of stress. Delaney & the BOK staff handled absolutely everything & allowed us to be fully present with our friends & family at our wedding. I seriously could go on & on about the Barns of Kanak. We truly cannot thank Kylie, Diane, Delaney, and all the BOK staff enough!! The Barns of Kanak will always be such a special place for my husband & I! <3 Reviewed on 16-09-2023

I can't say enough great things about this venue and the team running it. To start, this was our 4th venue tour but as soon as we pulled up it moved to the top of the list. The grounds are well maintained, everything had character, and we were greeted by Delaney who turned out to be our Coordinator. The months leading up, she was on top of EVERYTHING. She asked us questions we had NO idea about and truly guided us throughout the year-long process of planning everything. On the day before, we met the team. I don't remember everyone's names but Delaney and Em were our 2 points of contact. When we showed up, they had their game faces on. They were friendly to everyone, laughed and joked with us as we moved through rehearsal, but we're very organized and had the details down to a T. The day of hit us with some Acts of God (outskirts of a hurricane) that caused the power to go out fot a bit about an hour before the ceremony started. Of course I'm freaking out but the hugs and smile I got from them made me realize they had it all already figured out. The DJ equipment ran on battery so we went with a quiet, intimate ceremony followed by a candlelit reception. Everything turned out amazing! The team even called the power company and they were on-site within a couple of hours. At the end of the night, they sent us home while everything was packed up and moved into a designated vehicle. We did absolutely nothing. This coordinator, this venue, and the team are truly why they are a VENUE vs. a place that does weddings. We truly can not thank you all enough for everything you do.

Overall an amazing venue for our wedding. The venue itself is gorgeous with a lot of outdoor space, but also plenty of shaded areas to relax. We got a lot of compliments about how beautiful the venue was from our guests. The staff is also top notch, everyone was communicative and helpful if we needed anything. They provide a coordinator at around 60 days out from your event and this saved me and my husband so much time and reduced our stress levels. Our coordinator, Delaney, was on top of everything, reaching out to our various vendors to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of. She was also extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had prior to or even on our wedding day. Additionally, they provide a catalog of decor and other items that can be used during your event for no additional charge. Reviewed on 11-06-2023

Sarah Frye(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 The Barns deserves an 200/100 rating! They were absolutely PHENOMENAL in every single way!! I can't even put into words how wonderful they were, but I am going to try. From the moment we went and toured the venue we both fell in love. My husband and I had toured a few places but our hearts weren't set. We went down to tour the Barns and met Delaney and both instantly knew this was it. We told Delaney and got our date on the books. The quant feeling of being in the country with the corn fields, the look and style of the red rustic barns, and the magical feeling you get when you see the ceremony barn with the breathtaking chandeliers. We knew everything was going to be great, but we didn't know just how great it was going to be. Delaney ended up being our wedding planner and I was thrilled. We booked the venue two years out, so I had plenty of questions and even though she was not my (official) wedding planner yet, both her and Kylie were prompt to answer all of the questions I had. When we came for the 60 day out planning meeting, I was thinking it was going to be so stressful. Delaney kept it very relaxed and chill and I was shocked at how low stress it felt. From that point on until the day before the wedding, Delaney kicked it into high gear with accounting for every little detail. She updated things as we went along and reached out to all of my vendors so I didn't have to (which isn't the fun part about wedding planning anyways!) She even gave me her phone number so as guests last minute told me they couldn't come, I texted her so she could update these changes on the floorplan. She was prompt in answering emails and texts, and was helpful with everything. Come the day of, she worked well with all of my vendors. She had every little thing in order. We stayed at the farmhouse the night before and Diane (the owner) made us feeling nothing but at home. All of the little simple touches they had were amazing, from mimosas and bagels the morning of to breakfast for the newlyweds the day after. I think one of my favorite parts of the entire day was when Delaney told us they had set up a private dinner for us in the metal barn. When she first said this, I was hesitant because I was having so much fun and didn't want to be taken away from my guests. But, I decided it was probably best so I could eat and not be distracted by talking to guests. When I walked into the metal barn, my jaw dropped. They had set up a private candle-lit dinner for us all alone in the barn. It was absolutely gorgeous. This was our time to just be us and enjoy in the moment. The rest of the day and night was a dream, and now almost a week later I am still in awe. I cannot say enough about this Barns of Kanak team, and I would recommend them to anyone I know getting married!!!!! Reviewed on 14-10-2022
Maddy Tackett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 From the very beginning I knew we would choose this venue. Not only did I have a glowing review to go off of from a friend that got married there but from our very first email interaction with Kylie (she was reciprocating my email smiley faces and assuaging my nerves as a new bride planning a wedding) I could tell this venue really cares about people and want to help out any way they can. We toured many wedding venues but knew right after we met in person with Diane, Tom and Kylie that this was our dream venue. You feel like you are a part of the family when you talk to them. Delaney was our wedding coordinator leading up to the big day and then we got a surprise where Kylie came to help her out. These girls are literally SWEET BABY ANGELS!!! Not only did they answer any and every question I had (tons of emails from an anxious bride), they were always right there the day of to bustle my dress, pin my veil, making sure we always had a drink, dancing with us, making the most darling goody basket to take home at the end of the night and sooo many more things!!! My whole family commented on how doting and genuine the entire staff was. Everything went off without a hitch, on time and we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING because they were ON IT!! They really go above and beyond to make your day special. I could go on and on about how amazing these beautiful souls are. We could not have asked for a better experience all around.

The venue is stunning and the inclusive packages are perfect and really helped us save money as we did not need to purchase signage and other decor items we would never use again. The ceremony options are great as well because there is another barn on property where you can have your ceremony in case of rain or a very hot day. The Barns of Kanak staff are the sweetest! Any request we had they made it happen. Even a few unexpected last minute changes were no issue to them. You get your day of coordinator 2 months prior to the wedding and ours was Delaney. As a bride who opted to not have a wedding planner as I’m too much of a control freak she was a blessing to me. Once I was 2 months out I was begging for help. But I didn’t have to ask her for anything because she made it so easy. She contacts all the vendors and creates a very detailed timeline. All of my vendors were thrilled with Delaney. Do not hesitate to give them a call. I promise they will make your day as perfect as you dreamed it would be. I will always recommend Delaney and the Barns of Kanak. Reviewed on 22-09-2022

The BOK staff and coordinating team (led by the wonderful Kylie <3) were the most patient, professional, and organized group of individuals you could ever ask for. They care about you and they want each and every couple that works with them to truly have the most magnificent day.... and believe me, if you choose BOK, you will!!!! From the very beginning of our experience touring BOK, we felt special and part of their family. This venue provides 60-day-out coordinating and really takes the stress away during the last months of planning. And even if you have any questions before then, you will be more than taken care of. The communication and attention to detail couldn't have been better. Even when we burdened them with sooooo many little details the day of, each member of the staff always had a smile on their face and our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful their experience was til the very end of the night. Not to mention, the grounds are so beautiful and well kept. You won't find a single blade of grass uncut or path unsweeped.

We loved the packages the Barns had to offer. They had everything we needed for our wedding day (the farm house for girls and the cottage for guys to get ready in, rain back up location, and the beautiful reception barn).

When emailing I found out there was going to be a vendor market so what better opportunity to go and check it out. To my surprise when arriving Kylie approached me and knew who I was, told me if I had any questions, to please let her know. She also offered me a tour if I wanted it. Keep in mind this was a market, 50+ guest were there, and she took the time out to find me and make me feel like home. From that day forward our experience just kept growing with love. I got the opportunity to work with Delaney and her team. She never once made me feel like I was asking too many questions. Come day of, I had no stress, I was relaxed and so ready for the day thanks to all of their preparation. 6 months prior My Dad fell ill to Liver Cancer and the day of the wedding he wasn't suppose to attend as he was still in ICU. Delaney approached me and told me not to worry, she wanted to offer me to come back at any time and take a photo shoot with Dad once he got better. However, my Dad passed shortly after getting married.

I had a vision and they helped me nail every detial and make it reality. They are so professional, organized, experienced, fun and helpful. The property is truly breathtaking.

Katie Leegan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-04-2021 WOW is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of The Barns of Kanak. I truly feel so lucky to have found them for our intimate wedding celebration. From the moment that I started working with Kylie it was a 5 star experience! The grounds and buildings are absolutely gorgeous and it was so nice to have a place to get ready and multiple options for a ceremony site. The team that was on hand for our wedding day was amazing! They were on top of every single detail and allowed us to just relax and enjoy the day. I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend them to any engaged couple!

Haley Parmar(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-12-2020 I cannot say enough about how amazing The Barns of Kanak is! The property is absolutely beautiful but it is the staff that truly make it the best venue of all. A month before our wedding (after planning all the fun stuff with our coordinator Delaney-who is AMAZING) the governor enforced the rule of gatherings of 25 people or less. The complete selflessness of the owners and the staff to do whatever it took to make our wedding day special despite the circumstances we faced, reassured David and I, that no matter what we would have our ideal wedding. If you are a bride looking for a venue, I promise you that this venue is the absolute best! The Barns has the cutest places for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready, a million photo opportunities around the venue, a beautiful reception hall but most importantly the people who run the place are the most selfless, kind, loving and supportive people you could ever work with. They call to check in, let you know that they are praying for you and they listen. This venue and ALL of the staff, truly demonstrate the love of Christ to their Brides and Grooms. Thank you for all you have done to make our wedding day special-we love you guys! Reviewed on 08-01-2021

Leah Steinke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-11-2020 When we started our wedding planning journey in July 2019 the world (and our plans) looked a little different. We were initially attracted to The Barns because it’s an insanely beautiful place to get married. What we quickly found was that it’s so much more than that. After touring several venues, we noticed that unlike the others, working with The Barns didn’t feel like a business transaction, but instead like the McCormick family and the rest of the staff was opening up their home to host our wedding. With every twist and turn that 2020 brought, we always felt like The Barns had our back and that we were in it together. We could not have had the wedding we did if not for their support, flexibility, understanding, and encouragement. Pandemic aside, The Barns provides excellent customer service, communication, and value. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing. And now that it’s over, we miss our Barns team so much! Reviewed on 22-11-2020

The farmhouse where the bridal party gets ready looks like it should be in a magazine and has everything the girls need to get ready for the big day. The management team goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Kylie kept everything so organized and coordinated the entire day which made everything run so smoothly.

It's very clear the though that has been put into each of the buildings that the guests and wedding party have access to and the grounds are very well kept. It was wonderful to have the flexibility of an indoor or outdoor ceremony, especially during winter weather, with an additional indoor space for the reception. Our wedding coordinator made sure everything ran extremely smoothly the day of so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. They have great connections with local vendors so that it's easy to pick what caterer, DJ, etc. to hire. Every detail is thought through which was so comforting for us.

On top of that, the staff is truly incredible. Kylie, the event manager/coordinator, was literally my saving grace.

She is so organized, always on top of her game, efficient, responsive, thorough, and one of the nicest people I have met. She truly cares about you and making sure your vision is brought to life. Everything that a bride could want or need for her wedding. We got to work with the rest of the staff the weekend of our wedding and they all had no issue living up to the high bar Kylie set.

Ashley Hedge(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-10-2019 Like the below reviews, I don't know where to start! Everything about this venue went above and beyond our expectations. The space itself is effortlessly gorgeous, which makes it easy to add minimal decorations. The venue has items on site from previous weddings that you can borrow for your big day - this was a huge plus for a budgeting bride! I felt like the space for the ceremony by the old barn, and the new barn for the reception were both a 10/10. Over and over our guests were telling us how beautiful it all was, especially after the sun set and all of the lighting on the buildings could be seen. For the service that Kylie/Diane provided, I seriously don't see our wedding day being as perfect as it was without them. From the very beginning they helped with organizing the day of, helping me stay on top of what needed to be done. If I had any questions, there was a quick response, and if I asked for advice it was genuinely given. On the day of they personalized our bride and groom cottages with our names and wedding date. Upon arrival there were mimosas and morning treats in the kitchen for the bridal party to share, along with a little gift - so heartfelt! Throughout the day they made all the transitions so seamless. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on, and there was always someone telling me where I needed to be and when - so I literally didn't need to think about anything except having a good time. If my husband and I wanted to push the time back a little to have some time to ourselves (we are so glad we did this!), or move something earlier, all I had to do was inform Kylie and she made it happen. In all seriousness I could not recommend the Barns of Kanak enough. There isn't one area I can say needs improvement or anything I can think of that they could have done better.

Caleb Myers(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-12-2018 Man, where do I start? This venue was excellent on so many levels. The aesthetics, the venue's planners and day of coordinators, and all of the support staff--all of it came together to make the day special. Let me break it down further so you know what to expect if you book here: -When you visit, you’ll see right away why this venue is so popular. The Barns of Kanak is an old working farm with a rich family history that’s been repurposed as a down-to-earth location made just for your special day. I loved the old, rustic feel, and I was impressed that they didn’t sacrifice any practical touches in keeping the venue visually pleasing. There was plenty of space to take bride/groom/family photos as well as plenty of room for guests. It was very comfortable for the 140 people we had present the day of. -Kylie, the venue’s planner/timeline coordinator, was both helpful and empathetic. Every time she called, she was excited, attentive, and on top of things. She went to great lengths to coordinate with all of our other vendors so we didn’t have to worry about keeping tabs on everyone. Kylie came as a part of the venue, and she made every penny we paid worth it. -Diane & Katherine, the Barn’s day-of coordinators, made our timeline come to life and managed all the logistics with ease. I felt completely comfortable leaving everything in their hands, and in retrospect, I realized they went above and beyond in tending to every little detail. Post wedding, we realized that all the stuff my wife and I thought we forgot or left behind was noticed and managed by these two ladies – tucked away safely in our exit vehicle. Very thankful. -Along with that, there were several venue attendants available for everything: setup, parking, answering guest questions, assisting the bride and groom, bar tending, tear down, and even ensuring the wedding gifts made it into the proper vehicle. These staff members weren’t always seen, but again in hindsight, were much appreciated. As I think back, I realize how many people were on the flanks, prepared to handle anything we needed.One last very significant benefit to note: the venue and all of its attendants are very versatile when it comes to accommodating for inclement weather. In having a December wedding, we knew we’d want to keep a close eye on the forecast. Part of the reason we picked the Barns is because they had space to hold the ceremony indoors if it couldn’t be done outdoors. And sure enough, it came in handy. It ended up raining, and it gave us a chance to see the venue shine. Every member of the staff seemed prepared for this. They had the bride’s head under an umbrella every step of the way, and there was still plenty of coverage for all the guests to enjoy the day without getting wet. Reviewed on 13-01-2019

Hey there! I'm the Client Experience Consultant here at The Barns, which means my main focus is helping you feel like a million bucks - not only on your wedding day, but also throughout your engagement and beyond. I also co-own our on-site bridal boutique, Leora Bridal, with my husband. My parents are the owners of the venue, and our family pours their hearts and souls into this place. I fell in love with weddings when I was planning mine back in 2017, which led me and my family here. When I'm not at The Barns, you can find me hiking with my dogs or exploring a new spot in RVA.
