Jennifer Cox(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2021 Kim was great to work with and went above and beyond the day of our wedding and helped us set up all our decor we brought. The Grand Belle is such a beautiful venue with vintage and rustic appeal from the restored barn to the pieces of furniture in the ladies dressing room. It is air conditioned which is such a huge bonus when seeking a barn to marry in. I did not hire a wedding planner or day of coordinator and thankfully I had great friends, family and Kim to help make our day run flawlessly and relieve me the bride of stress.

My daughter had her wedding at the Grand Belle and the place was lovely. They were very helpful with putting up some special decorations that my daughter wanted, including hanging some greenery from the ceiling beams. Mike was very helpful at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. It was beautiful!My only complaint is that it often took days to weeks to get a response from the coordinator which was frustrating because there were times when I needed an answer quickly. I'm still leaving a 5 star review because I feel the positives outweighed the negatives of this beautiful venue. If Grand Belle can work on response times, it would be perfect. Reviewed on 17-10-2023

Julie A Rutt(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2020 The Grande Belle was the perfect wedding venue! Our son was married here in September 2020 - the owners were fantastic to work with from the very start and informative / accommodating as COVID modifications were required. They have a true love of the barn as it has been restored authentically and modernized where needed. We held the ceremony outside under the trees and the setting was wonderful. Dinner and dancing were great inside the barn under the barn lighting. The bonfire outside late evening was a bonus. Also, the bride and all the girls used the suite upstairs to get ready. It was an ideal space, away from everyone setting up, to have hair and make up done. Literally, nothing could have gone any better on the wedding day from the first moment we arrived to when we cleaned up and left. We LOVED it! Highly recommended. Reviewed on 08-11-2020
Jacquee Hollis(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2020 Our son and daughter-in-law had their ceremony and reception here. This place is amazing! Absolutely Beautiful inside and outside. It's so hard to believe this was actually a real functioning barn back in its day.They kept as much as possible of the original state including the huge, front door. They have new updated restrooms that keep the \"barn look\"down to the paper towel dispensers. I would describe this as Rustic Elegance. You litterly only need to decorate your tables, it's that beautiful on its own. Make sure to ask for the chandeliers!The owners are so easy to work with and they guide you through every step. Do not hesitate to make this your chose for your occasion. You will not be disappointed. Don't forget they have a lower level as well.I also want to say, the bartender, Cindy, was the best! We also hired one of the caterer' s from his approved list, Sherry's Catering. The food was fresh and delicious! Reviewed on 20-09-2020

Samantha Shifman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2020 The barn is gorgeous! I first fell in love with the bridal suite. The vintage/rustic feel was exactly what I was looking for! The barn has AC and heat and clean bathrooms which was important to us. The owners Mike and Kim are incredible people. If you want to see a vendors true colors look at how they treat their brides during a pandemic!! We had to postpone due to COVID and they were so supportive! No hidden fees, hassle or anything! They made accommodations free of charge (added a tent for outdoor dining, let us make adjustments to guest count super late, spaced out ceremony seating, etc). I cannot say enough positive things about these people and their staff! They stayed the entire day and night to make sure everything ran smoothly. Kim and Mike gave us our dream wedding.

Alina Schoof(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2018 The Grand Belle is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue, classy with the cool barn look to it. The owners were very welcoming to us right from the start, and after learning more about the history of the barn itself we wanted to book with them right away. In the midst of all the planning, they were sure to answer all of our emails thoroughly and professionally. The owners gave us a bunch of suggestions regarding vendors and what previous weddings did in certain situations. Most of the suggestions we ended up using for our wedding. The day of our wedding was super beautiful and with The Grand Belle’s helpful staff, everything got done in time. We did not rent the downstairs and we do not regret it at all, there was absolutely no need for the extra space in our case. People were able to be outside with the photobooth and the bonfire. For the people who consider getting married at The Grand Belle, I would point out that the upstairs room is for the bridal party only, so groomsmen need to get ready somewhere else. The barn door itself will be closed all the time because of the AC which kind of divides the party in two. Also, if you have your ceremony on their lawn, we had our seats facing the street. This may be a turn off as we had a lawn care company begin to mow the property across the street from The Grand Belle. At the end of the day everything turned out to be awesome, and once the sun went down all the lights outside and the bonfire looked absolutely magical. We recommend this venue warmly to everyone.
