The Barn

My dear Unilocalers, this is the first time I have EVER given a one star rating. Usually I am able to find a redeeming trait at establishments to avoid such a ranking, but the barn hadcertainly NOT earned it.
I was anxious to see this venue, as many bridal exhibits this year had demonstrated images of a beautiful antique barn for brides and grooms to celebrate their marital bliss. When I first arrived, I do admit the site was lovely and I fell in love with the old pony in the paddock out front.
My happiness however ended quickly from then on. The owners of this venue are very curt and dismissive, often leaving the bridal party and caterer to sort out their own problems. The two grooms whom I was assisting that evening, had multiple encounters with the venue hosts of an unpleasant nature.
For all my caterers out there, DO NOT GO. This venue is by far the least catering friendly site I have ever been to. There is no kitchen or prep area to speak of and chefs are asked to set up an outside tent to make the meal (therebye allowing all manner of insects to access the food). There are no sinks or washing station, making dishes impossible to clean. Any sort of clearing is to be done outside, often times in the dark without any sort of lighting. To top things off, the hosts will insist at the end of the night the caterer take ALL garbage from the event with them, not just their own.
Unilocalers I do strongly urge you to seek other venues. These folks are just not part of the Unilocal spirit!
