5 Stars – A Dream Wedding Venue!

reamy setting. They accommodated our 200-person wedding effortlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue and staff.
Kari, the owner and event coordinator, was incredible throughout the entire process. She gave excellent recommendations, kept me on track, and made sure everything was taken care of. On the day of, Kari and Amanda were by my side, making everything run smoothly. All I had to do was describe how I wanted things decorated, and they made it happen.
Even the little day-of challenges were quickly handled by Kari and Amanda without a hitch. Kari’s dad was also so kind, helping my dad with setup and packing. The golf cart for guest transport was a thoughtful touch, and the spacious bridal suite fit all 10 of us comfortably.
Our entire day was an absolute dream—if you’re looking for the perfect venue, Best View Barn is it!
Kari was sweet, kind, professional and all around a joy to work with! Her whole family and staff did EVERYTHING to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted! The grounds were so...
well maintained and the barn was beautiful! Thank you Kari so much for everything
I’m not entirely sure where to start with this review because everything exceeded any expectation I had in my head for my wedding. We had looked at one location prior to pulling u...
p to the Best View Barn. I vividly remember looking at my, then fiancé, and before the van stopped, we knew then! [we booked it that week!] Just the property itself sold us, but then we met Kari and we knew we had easily found our venue! The owners, the staff, the views, everything was just perfect. The rolling hills, the immaculately cut grass lines, the landscaping [AND THEIR NEW WATERFALL!], the windmills on the backdrop mountains – picture perfect, and not to mention the perfect Red Barn! The inside is beautiful and the bathrooms were huge! They kept the rustic look and feel while making it manageable for all guests – we really loved how they didn’t remodel and “redo” the inside to make it more modern – part of what sold us was the original barn look! Our guests (and even those that just saw pictures online) continue to ask where this venue is and for their website. I recommend this place to everyone I talk too – I just wish we could hold another event there someday! I hope others choose this venue, because trust me, it will exceed all of your expectations. The price was definitely reasonable at first glance – then with all of the help from Kari and her family – it was well worth it. Let me also add in, they offer a small price to clean up for you! All we had to do was pick it up the next day, that alone took so much stress off of us!! Kari was very upfront with the rules of the property, which we loved – and was ALWAYS willing to answer my weird questions, over the 20 months we planned this! She was there for us and we could tell – she wanted us to have the perfect day – which is exactly what we had. Kari’s husband and father were equally amazing and friendly, and the bartenders were so friendly – I felt like they were there as guests – as did my guests! Everyone was comfortable with each other, communicative, and honest – what else could you ask for? We had no idea how to plan or what to even ask – Kari helped us achieve the perfect wedding day that we will never forget. We’re so happy with everything and are so lucky to have left with new friends!

d. They have made so many wonderful improvements since then and it really shows their commitment to make their venue the best in every way. Kari and her family were so easy to work with and everything we were promised was delivered and much more. The functionality of the space fit all of our needs and the personality of the team made it easy to plan our wedding day. We are so glad we chose Best View and would recommend to everyone.
We held our wedding at BVB and cannot recommend it enough. It is an absolutely beautiful venue - the area, the view, the trees, the pond, and of course the space itself. The inside...
of the barn is gorgeous and the owner has updated it nicely and kept it well maintained. We had countless comments from guests about how unbelievable the venue was. The process of visiting and making the arrangements for the wedding was very seamless. The owner, Kari, is very accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. Throughout the planning stages and on the actual day of, she was tremendous to work with. She truly made every effort to ensure that our day went off without any issues. Overall we were so pleased with Best View Barn and we would easily recommend the venue a thousand times over.
Booking Best View Barn was the best decision that my husband and I made. We actually took a chance on this venue because when we went to see the barn they were still renovating. Af...
ter the renovations, Best View Barn is definitely the venue you would want to have your wedding at. We wanted the rustic, simple yet elegant look and the barn fulfilled our vision.
Kari is the most amazing person you could ever work with. My husband and I had no idea how to plan a wedding or where to even start, but we had smooth sailing because Kari was able to help with all our questions and concerns in a very timely manner. She was very detailed and organized and made sure we were kept on track with what needed to be done by what dates. We never felt neglected, in fact Kari makes you feel like you and your wedding are always a priority and that your special day should be more than how you imagined it. For an overwhelmed bride with all the t's to be crossed, and i's to be dotted, Kari definitely lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders with her help.
We got married in mid-October. The Barn was magnificent when we arrived. The fall foliage and the barn atmosphere really helped with the rustic feel that we were looking for. Kari and her amazing staff made sure that all of our guests were comfortable and enjoyed themselves until the very end. All of our guests have told us that when they arrived at the barn they instantly loved the look and feel of the Barn.
Thank you Kari and her team for making our wedding one of the most exciting, happiest, and memorable time of our lives!
My husband Orren and I cannot say enough about how much we are in love with the Best View Barn and the staff. From the moment we toured the venue last September, we knew that there...
was no other place like it. Luckily, there was still a Friday for the following October available and we jumped on it as soon as we could. Kari and her parents were so kind and accommodating during the whole wedding planning process, ensuring that we were on track and that we weren't forgetting anything. I bugged Kari many times throughout our year engagement, asking questions, looking for advice, and suggestions and she always responded promptly and calmed my nerves. The venue itself is literally breathtaking...from the ceremony outside right by the pond, to cocktail hour on the back deck, looking at the rolling hills of Madison county, and finishing with the reception inside the rustic but updated barn, our guests from NJ, NYC, and CA were boasting all night how it was the most beautiful venue they have ever been to. Kari and the staff the night of the wedding were fantastic, always ensuring that Orren and I had something to drink, that we didn't need anything else, and our guests said that they were so kind to all. They even have a golf cart, making it possible for our elderly guests to attend the wedding, and drove them from the parking lot to the ceremony chairs, and then from the ceremony space right into their spot at their table inside of the barn. The bathrooms are updated and clean and the bridal suite...don't even get me started on it's charm. All in all, Kari and her family at the Best View Barn were such a joy to work with and we have nothing but amazing photographs and memories of our wedding night thanks to them.
The moment we drove up to Best View Barn we knew this was the venue we've dreamt about. Words can not express how amazing Kari and everyone at Best View Barn were. From day one K...
ari was there every step of the way to help and make sure we achieved one of the most amazing days of our lives! All our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing this venue is and we couldn't agree more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
