Elegant Barn Wedding
As soon as I discovered RedBard20 online, I knew that was where I wanted to have our wedding. The feeling was only increased when we went and toured the venue. Ann and MaryBeth are so warm and welcoming, and they have created such a beautiful atmosphere. We were able to stop in a number of times before our wedding (09-14-2019) to go over the details, choose decorations from the EXTENSIVE collection of items, choose exactly where we wanted to have the ceremony (we chose the apple orchard), etc. Ann offered to be our day of coordinator, which was perfect. She had a real vision for how to set everything up. I knew I could trust her and not feel anxious about whether things would look good. I also had a lot of family members pitching in their various talents, particularly my aunt/uncle/cousins who did the flowers. They were able to deliver the flowers on Friday and then arrived early Saturday to do all the flower arranging, which was a huge task. Ann graciously allowed me and the girls to get dropped off at the Farmer Cottage while the boys hung out in the White Barn, because my husband and I did not want to do a first look. Ann did a great job with helping to time everything for the ceremony. She checked with me that our ceremony singers were good to sing one more song, which had been previously planned, but she wanted to make sure. The night went splendidly. We did a sparkler send off, and had gotten sparklers. But, Ann and MaryBeth came with these giant sparklers that they just let us use because they were bigger and they thought they would be better. It just goes to show how thoughtful they are and the attention to detail they have. They also let us come back on Sunday to do any final cleanup and get items that may have been left. Ann even offered to take the linens back to Binghamton to the caterer just because she was going that way. I really cannot say enough great things about RedBarn20. One of the best parts is that there are so many different spaces for guests to spend time that no one feels cramped up in one area. People could play lawn games, go in the White Barn, sit by the fire outside, walk the grounds to get pictures, and dance inside. Hopefully someone I know decides to get married there so I can go back for a great party again someday!
