The White Barn Venue is a stunning setting with endless possibilities that will create memories for you and your guests for a lifetime!
The Venue itself is stunning. Such a beautiful place to get ready, fun atmosphere for the guys to get ready. Rehearsal night, everything was decorated and ready to go waiting for our personal touches to be added which we got to add the night before so the morning of there wasn't much to do. It's not just the venue tho... The Owners Shelly and Bryan are amazing! Shelly from the first time you meet her she is SO helpful. There were so many times she stopped what she was doing to help me find the right vendors for my wedding day, and had it sent to me the same day. Shelly is SO efficient. Shelly was amazing on rehearsal night especially with the kiddos. The day of the wedding, I can't say enough about Bryan and Shelly. They both went above and beyond. My caterer screwed up royally the day of my wedding and Bryan and shelly both were along for the ride and kept everything calm cool and collected. If it weren't for them, the reception would have been a disaster. The bartender they have for the day of your wedding, you won't find a better one anywhere. I've never seen a bartender this good. Andrew was the perfect fit to shelly and Bryan. The 3 of them ARE the dream team. My last thought every single night and my first thought every single day has been my wedding day, I see the barn, my dress, everything and it's been such a sweet way to start and end my days. I'd relive this day over and over again. It truly was the best day at the best venue. 10/10 recommend this venue. It's worth it. Reviewed on 16-10-2023

Working with Shelley and Bryan was the smoothest part of the whole wedding experience. They are both very caring and passionate about the services they provide. They made sure that the entire day ran smoothly, and the venue is incredible. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They offer an exceptional value at a reasonable price with everything they include in the package. Even after the wedding when we were cleaning, they stayed and assisted us. I really appreciate everything they did and couldn't have asked for a better venue. Reviewed on 08-10-2023

We couldnât have asked for a better venue when we booked The White Barn. It is a stunning venue and we got nothing but compliments from every guest. It was the perfect setting for our wedding. We knew we wanted to book with White Barn the second we saw it. They offer lots of options for decor that is included in the cost so there is little to nothing you would need to buy as decor. They also offer rental services such as a sâmores bar which was a big hit with our guests. Not only is it the perfect country/barn setting for a wedding but Shelly and Bryan are great people. They went out of their way to help make our wedding day perfect. 10/10 recommend anyone to book with The White Barn Reviewed on 29-09-2023

First off, Shelly and Bryan are amazing! They are so kind, helpful and considerate. I could have never imagined having such a beautiful wedding and they were a huge part in making it a success. They share their list of preferred vendors with you and they were also top notch. The barn itself is beautiful and seats so many people. Not to mention the gorgeous bridal suite and groomâs quarters that were made available to us. If I could go back in time, I would continually pick the White Barn as my venue every single time.

Shelly and Bryan truly made our day special!! When you first meet them it was an immediate feeling that you feel apart of the family. During the planning process Shelly helped/gave us advice. Leading up to our wedding I had some medical emergencies landing myself in the hospital 3 days before our big day, they both were checking on me on a daily basis until I got out hours before our rehearsal dinner đ. Throughout the next day *our wedding day* they checked on me making sure I was okay and didnât need anything. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and I wouldnât have changed a single thing. I think what I love most about them is that they want to give you the wedding youâve dreamt of and will guide you through the journey. Sorry this was so long, I truly will never be able to thank everyone that was involved helping us. I HIGHLY recommend using the white barn venue for your wedding đ€ - The Byrds Reviewed on 31-05-2023

Kathryn McGray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2021 I can't give enough high praise for Shelly and Brian at the White Barn Venue. Nestled near Clifty Falls State Park the scenery is unbeatable. Madison is an extremely welcoming town with the cutest town center. The hotels were great and there are a ton of options for Air BnB with Hanover College within minutes. The barn itself is gorgeous and well taken care of. It's perfectly decorated barely needing anything additional. You can't take a bad photo at the White Barn Venue. Between the perfectly manicured lawn and the gorgeous lighting. It's is truly magical. The bridal suite is equally beautiful and has everything you need; it's truly the perfect place to get ready for your big day. My husband and I are military stationed in Alabama. They were beyond accommodating with our situation. They made very step of the process so easy, providing a preferred vendor list that did not disappoint. Their wine selection is amazing and every option is delicious. We really felt like family here and it helped create an amazing night we will never forget. Highly recommend to everyone planning a wedding especially for a destination wedding! Reviewed on 05-04-2023
