Crawford’s Barn

My daughter is planning her wedding and has chosen this site, selected the date (which was put on the calendar) and that was almost 2 weeks ago and she hasn’t received the contract, and no one will return her call or answer the phone. She is so disappointed and worried. She really has fallen in love with this venue!

Dark and dank and they love to keep your deposit. Nephew made the mistake of driving on the lawn to deliver something got yelled at by by all of but Crawford’s barn kept $ 500 for that mistake no damage mind you they just wanted to keep the money to pad their bank account. they could have kept 100 to prove their point but no they kept it all.

The Barn is a great and fun I held my family reunion there. The staff was so helpful in getting everything together. Lisa was wonderful in explaining to me all the wonderful benefits. She was also there when I was setting the place up for the event and was very helpful in helping me out with decoration ideas. I think the world of the place. I was able to host over a170 people in my family. Everyone was cool because the AC worked. We also were able to enjoy the outside due to all the trees available for shade. If you have an event, I think it is a great idea to go to one of their open houses and get some ideas. They book fast so planning I think is a must. I booked my event a year in advance.

I give this place one star because I was wanting to book it for a wedding. I called the number and the automated system said in order to view you need to show up on Thursdays at 7:00 that is the only time its open for the public. So that is what I did. When I showed up I saw there was a bunch of people already inside so I asked someone in the front if this was the open house I wanted to see the hall. She says «oh you want to see the hall that’s fine go right in» so I did. Then I get stopped by a very rude lady who tells me its a private event and I need to leave! When I walked out there where two more people in the front who had been kicked out as well! So I wasted my gas to drive 30 min from my house to be kicked out! When the automated system specifically says EVERY Thursday is open to the public at 7:00. I was furious! Will not be using this place! Would not trust this place for my special day. Their automated system needs to be changed so don’t waste your time and just show up on open house because its not open to the public like the automated system says!

We held our wedding here a few years ago and were more then happy with the place. We had a small wedding of about 70 people or so and this fit our needs greatly as well as our budget. the stalls where and awesome touch for our table setting. what was also neat was the history be hind the barn, Crawford was a race horse a long time ago. With our country beck ground, that little tid bit made it even better!

Been to Crawford’s Barn a few times, It is a great place to hold a small to mid size gathering. It is located inside of a small park so there are areas for kids to play etc. Parking can be a little tight as it is located inside of a residential area. Overall it is nothing fancy but a reasonable place to hold a gather if you need some extra room.

Got hitched here recently. Mostly a great experience, but thought some feedback might help others. It’s a nice space, and you are allowed to decorate it as you wish as long as you don’t damage the integrity of the property. Meaning no nails to hang things, etc. The lighting is good, the atmosphere is very cozy, and you get the whole space (park with 3 acres) for the time that you have it rented. If you are thinking of using Crawford’s Barn I would recommend that you think about how you’re going to do the wedding. The rental is for a whole day, from 10am until 2am, but keep in mind that you have to set everything up and take everything down yourself. Unless you have an army assisting you, it’s a Herculean feat. We opted to get the venue for the entire weekend which was a bit more expensive but nice that we didn’t have to worry about the set up/​take down in one day. Money well spent.
One thing that really bummed me out about Crawford’s Barn is that it is supposed to be a private park yet there were people letting their dogs run through the park as we were setting up for the wedding. Dogs, like everyone, gotta go at one point or another, which means… you guessed it. I stepped in an enormous pile of dog poop right as I was about to take wedding photos. Thank God is was me and not my wife in her wedding dress or my 4 year old nice who could have tripped in it. But really, people! You pay for what is labeled a «private» park, yet no one in the neighborhood treats it that way. As we were taking things down the next day there were some shady looking dudes hanging out in the back. am I supposed to ask them to leave? No way! For the price that you pay, and the amount of rules you have to abide by for those who rent the facility, it would be nice if the venue was to do a better job of enforcing this one rule for the benefit of those renting it.
I hope I don’t scare people away. It was a nice place to get married, I would recommend it, but you should take these things into consideration when considering booking Crawford’s Barn for your wedding.

We had our rustic themed wedding outside the barn and our reception inside for our ⁹⁄₂₅ wedding and I could not be more pleased.
Pros:
The venue is very inexpensive
They do not have required vendors so you can bring anyone in
They have plenty of chairs and tables to cut down in your rental expenses
There is a kitchen with a stove, oven and refrigerator
There is a wet bar
It is very nice inside the barn with enough room for 10 –15 tables and a dance floor
The architecture inside is lovely and not too overdone so it is easy add your own stuff to make it look your own
Cons:
All of your stuff has to be walked up to the barn as there is no driveway that makes it easily accessible
The barn is smack dab in the middle of a residential district and the grounds look like any neighborhood park — including a small playground and a volleyball court. It is definitely not the most natural looking place, but to me the inexpensiveness of the venue was enough to let me forget about that!
It is pretty small. I had 65 guests and I felt like I could have had up to 80 guests and after that it would have gotten a little crowded
Overall, I was very pleased with my choice and, for my budget, the pros far outweighed the cons.

We had a western wedding at our ranch and held our reception over at Crawfords! It was amazing with our theme! We had tables inside the old stalls and plenty of room to dance and set tables in the open area as well. The grounds are very pretty, perfect for wedding pictures and the inside and outside were clean and beautiful! Not bad for your buck at all to rent a historical barn for your western wedding!
