Kind Words
"We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding ceremony at Barnwood Farms, and it was nothing short of perfect. The venue site combines nature and beauty. The ceremony space is surrounded by towering trees, vibrant flowers and lush grass. Nature's beauty complemented the floral arrangements on the arch where we exchanged our vows. The set up was perfect for our guests and creating an intimate ceremony. Barnwood Farms did a great job maintaining and beautifying the landscape, offering a variety of spots perfect for photo opportunities. Our wedding ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more, thank you Barnwood Farms!"

“If you’re a couple looking for an effortless and straightforward wedding ceremony experience, look no further! At Barnwood Farms, Rick and Holly allow you to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s your own homemade decor, a unique ceremony ritual, or anything in between, they’re beyond accommodating. I also recommend working with them to create your wedding florals or visiting their shop for DIY flower buckets. The ceremony site itself is nothing short of magical. With the tall pines, twinkling lights, and flower fields surrounding you, this space is truly special. My husband and I wished this space was here when we got married!”
