Where to begin?! Everything at the Old Carter Barn was perfect beyond measure. We truly had an amazing experience from the day we found this venue on the Knot to the conclusion of our special day. There was so much support throughout the entire process including the planning of setup and decorations, seating charts, organizing the ceremony plan and backup plan…the list goes on. The staff at the Old Carter Barn were responsive to my late night panicked messages when I would think of a small detail I might’ve forgotten and they always made me feel at ease. The day of our wedding there was so much support from the setup to the lining up of the bridal party, organizing vendors, and seating guests. We never in a million years could’ve dreamed of how perfect our special day would be and it wouldn’t have been possible without the Old Carter Barn. Thinking of booking your event with them? Don’t wait, jump on it now! The views are breathtaking from all parts of the property and the small town charm really made this location one we will never forget.

Old Carter Barn is the most beautiful and perfect wedding venue. We will never forget our family and friend’s reactions when they walked into the barn for the first time, everyone was impressed and all had the best time.From the day we decided to choose them as our venue, Lewis was so responsive and helpful. The barn shares their recommended vendors, this was not only helpful in our planning process, but the day was the incredible because of our DJ, Bartenders, photographer, and a few other vendors that we selected from OCB’s list. The team also helped us in their innovative seating charts and throughout every step of the way in planning. Day of, Caleigh and Dave were the best team. Caleigh helped us set up, did walk throughs, and made sure everything was going well. She even was flexible when we had last minute changes to the set up and seating chart. Dave came to the rescue several times the rest of the day. The team helped clean the end of the night and sort all the decorations. The communication was above and beyond. We also adored getting ready in the suites, there was plenty of room for the wedding party and to have everyone in one place for the first looks. It was truly magical to have our ceremony by the lake. The system Caleigh and Dave had with their golf cart and walkie talkies was epic. It was the smoothest day! We cannot thank the team enough for all the time and care.

Going with Old Carter Barn was the best wedding decision we made, and after viewing the barn we knew right away it was the place for us (and that was during its off season!) let’s start with the barn itself, with its own beauty and location the venue honestly decorates for itself. Sitting in the beautiful lake, surrounded by the woods in a quiet location. It’s pure bliss just to be there. We had nothing but compliments such as ‘for a barn, this is one of the nicest venues we ever attended a wedding at’. It’s not like other barn venues; this barn has history and soul in it… and you can feel that when you’re there. Now! On to Lewis, Dave and Caleigh. If you’re hoping for helpful owners and coordinators you can not get better than them. Both Lewis and Dave are very quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have. Dave is very on top of his game the weeks prior and day of your wedding, he is the behind the scenes king! We had minor problems (on our end) and he was quick to grab his personal keys and ask ‘what do you need’ thankfully he didn’t have to go anywhere but he was ready! He also played a big party in a military surprise for me, he made sure our Marine was hidden until the time came. Now, Caleigh… she. Is. A. SANIT. This girl did not stop go go go! She made sure we were on schedule every step of the way and was not rushing or pushy at all! Any questions she would make sure she had the right answer for those people. She worked so well with our other vendors and made sure to keep me calm up until the moments of our ceremony. You honestly could not ask for a better venue or crew to work with. Thank you Lewis, Caleigh and Dave. You made our day perfect.

It was the perfect venue to make for the perfect day! The staff at the barn were very professional and extremely helpful with every aspect of the day. It was a rainy day and thankfully the rain held off to have the ceremony by the lake but the staff had prepared an indoor ceremony as a back up plan. The months leading up to the wedding were filled with proper communication and timely responses that made the whole situation stress free. We had originally toured the venue prior to renovations and after Dave had explained the plans for the finished barn we had faith and kept with it and it was certainly the right decision the barn is gorgeous inside and out and it made for the best day ever. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone, they’re the best! The only downside is that we only got to spend one day here! 10/10 highly recommend.

Our wedding day was 9/24/22 and we had the most memorable, wonderful and special weekend. Dave was extremely helpful during set up for the wedding day, break down and everything in between. Dave is extremely kind, talented, a good sense of humor and kept things light and easy for us! Caleigh was a tremendous help as well during the day. Dave and Caleigh are fabulous day of coordinators and were present and willing to help every moment that we needed them. Lewis, Dave and Caleigh are beyond how positively I can describe them and ensured that we had the best day ever. The Old Carter Barn was the only venue we toured and we knew it was the one immediately! The recent additions made everything more beautiful and enjoyable. This venue is picture perfect while keeping a relaxed feel. You can dress it up as much as you’d like it keep things casual while keeping it’s unique charm. The lake view during the ceremony, cocktail hour on the patio, reception inside the barn with a bonfire and s’mores to end the night was perfect. Dave set off our fireworks (which made the night even more memorable) and suggested we do a mock sparkler exit to surprise our guests towards the end of the night. I cannot say enough good things about this venue, the staff and owners who are there! Absolutely fabulous. The most special, memorable and loving weekend for my husband and I. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about it. Thank you!!

The Old Carter Barn was the perfect wedding venue for us. We absolutely loved the outdoor ceremony space and stone cocktail patio near the lake. Despite being a crisp fall day, the standing heaters did a great job keeping our guests warm. The barn itself is beautifully restored and full of character. Lewis, Dave and Caleigh were extremely helpful leading up to the event and kept things running smoothly the day of. We are so happy we found Old Carter Barn for our special day!

Our guests enjoyed cocktail hour right next to where we got married on the patio ALL ON THE LAKE!!! Our reception was held in the barn and honestly it decorates itself.Lewis, the owner, and all of the staff were extremely helpful! From touring the venue to the day of there's nothing that they miss! They had someone directing people where to go for the ceremony and even had a golf cart for the older guests who couldn't make it down and back up the hill on their own. Dave attended the fire pit all night where most of our guests enjoyed hanging out at if they weren't dancing!I cannot recommend this place enough! If your not sure about it just tour it, and I promise you will fall in love with it! We had such a magical night, it was way better than we even hoped!Thank you so much Lewis, Dave, and Caleigh!!!

Old Carter Barn is absolutely STUNNING. With the most serene and beautiful views of Lake Carey, and a stunning, rustic and natural backdrop, what more could you want?! The barn itself is a beautiful space for any event, to host cocktail hour, to dance the night away, a gorgeous meal for the guests. It truly is such a versatile space and we had so much fun in it. The cherry on the cake is the incredible gazebo that has been newly restored. Makes for the most beautiful and unique wedding photos. Couldn't recommend enough!

The cherry on the cake is the incredible gazebo that has been newly restored. Makes for the most beautiful and unique wedding photos. Couldn't recommend enough!

Lewis and Doug are two fantastic and talented hosts with this charming old barn set in the heart of Lake Carey. This barn has been in Doug's family for a long time and they refinished it with a vision for music, the arts, and love. My husband and I found them by chance as he grew up at Lake Carey. It also features a very romantic and old gazebo lake side. I had a dream of a simple wedding set somewhere unique - somewhere that essentially decorated itself. I am not much for over the top decor, traditions, trends... I just wanted something whimsical and timeless... artistic, unique, and fun. We got to see the barn before the renovations and I fell in love. I would have been happy with that - but then Lewis and Doug brought in a great team. Now it's complete with fans, a sound system, chandelier, lighting, bar, dressing rooms, etc. It is incredible and the barn and the owners curated my dream bohemian, old-timey, fairytale, barn wedding. I wouldn't change a thing. To boot, I still get to visit the barn and Lewis and Doug because they will have art shows, and even Broadway musicals there.
