Don't do it...It's taken me a long time to leave this review from my 2018 wedding reception at this location. I still have a horrible taste in my mouth of this ownership. As we were cleaning up our things (still on a buzz from the wedding) the owner (Robin) literally accused my wedding guests of stealing a tractor battery from their property. By the time we were leaving, her own employee came in apologizing that he had the battery & had removed it for repair. However , after the attitude & accusations we received from Robin - we never even got a very much deserved apology from her. A few other things to mention; - my family had to clean an inch of dust off of areas before they could hang any of the decorations. the fake trees they had also needed cleaning. They were not impressed with the cleanliness of the facility for a wedding day at all. - we were setting up the night before & I had required the longest 2 tables she had for the wedding party on the stage. well she had set up the shorter tables. no big deal, just help us get the right tables. we had to call her about the tables while we were there setting up & she didn't want to be bothered to come down& get the tables we asked for. instead she argued with me (over the phone) telling me the right tables were on the stage.... I was physically looking at them and she is calling me a liar... then later says the tables we want were up in the loft of the dilapidated barn (since had been torn down). did she send anyone to get them? nope. my husband & his groomsmen (the night before the wedding) had to Risk getting injured to climb over, under balancing on things just to get to the ladder to climb the loft & get the 2 tables down.... this was completely unprofessional to say the least!! - we were strongly lectured about the water that leaked from the sweat of the keg (that we asked her if we could store overnight & pick up the next day). we surrounded it with towels & blankets but it still leaked everywhere (we didn't know, we don't drink like that). we still helped clean it all up the next day... it was only water - we were strongly lectured over cigarette butts (which I remember seeing cig. butts there the night before when we got there to set up. so they weren't even all from us), barely a handful of people from our party smoked cigarettes, so I know all of the butts weren't from them - plus they are ashtray trained.... - because of the water & cigarette butts we didn't get our deposit back. Even after being accused of lying & stealing, my husband & groomsmen risking their lives to get the tables we asked for & cleaning the place up better then when we got it.... I will never recommend this place to anyone for anything. don't care what kind of deal they offer.... after 5 years of marriage, driving past this place still makes me cringe.... they kind of ruined my day. i should drive by remembering the amazing time I had, not the bitter taste we were left with.... & with ZERO apologies! I hate leaving bad reviews. especially for a small business... but this was all just so wrong.
