    Awesome atmosphere- loved every minute of Mt experience!!!


    We had the most epic experience at the Rochester Wedding Barn. Bryan and Liz rocked serving us at Nashvilles Bar. Lauren was excellent to deal with from Nasvilles bar. My wedding guests will be talking about mine and Dean's Wedding in the upcoming weeks, months and possibly years. We will have amazing and wonderful memories thinking about our very special day at the Rochester Wedding Barn. Duane and Debbie are amazing and so easy to work with. They made it very convenient for us to set up all of the vendors needed to make it a world class experience. 10 out of 10!!!! We highly recommend working with this venue for your special day. Communication and customer service was outstanding!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!!!!

    We had my daughters wedding here at the barn a month ago and it was beautiful. Eric was a great help he went above and beyond to make sure that my daughters day was perfect. The bar was great we had two bartenders that did a fantastic job making sure that everyone was waited on with a smile. Thank you to all that made this a memorable event!

    I had a wonderful consultation with the event coordinators. They were very professional and knowledgeable; they were able to answer every question my fiancé and I had. I cannot wait till our big day at the barn.

    I had a wonderful walk through with the consultants at the Rochester Wedding Barn. The venue has so much character. The owners are very accommodating and genuine, they made my fiancée and I feel very comfortable and made the process of picking a venue easy and stress free. Very pleased with this.

    They went absolutely above and beyond for our wedding day. So attentive, so helpful and they made us feel the way you wanna be treated on your wedding day. I have been telling any engaged couples I know how amazing it was. Kellie and Joy made our lives so much easier between always being there to answer questions, making our center pieces, and just taking a huge load off of us. My husband and I could not have picked a better venue or had better people to work with. I wish I could relive it all over again!

    The Rochester Wedding Barn is AMAZING!! people are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding! The day we went to look at the Barn we knew right away that this was for us. Joy met us there on a freezing cold January day, and painted out an image in our mind of our wedding in July. She arranged for us to have a private menue tasting with her because we could not make the group event. Kellie shocked us with all her hard work and planning. The day before the wedding we arrived at the barn around 2p.m. to drop off a few things and Kellie was there by herself. It made me a little nervous, but when we returned at 4p.m for our rehearsal she had the barn about 95% transformed. On the day of the wedding Kellie went above and beyond what we expected. She kept bringing us girls drinks in the Bridal Suite while getting ready and made sure things went as planned. My husband and I cannot say enough about her. She truly took all the stress out of our day.
    Joy and Kellie, thank you for making our day so memorable!!
    Love,
    The Caracci's

    Kellie,
    Thanks so much for showing us the barn and spending time putting a quite together. You were the first person Erin felt like was invested in our wedding and not just a business. We would love to set up a tasting. We have availability on Wednesday next week if you do. Then we go to Texas from the 1-10 then we will be back in town. If you don't have time wed we could do it when we are back.

    Kellie was absolutely amazing! She was always available to help us out with every little detail. Everything went perfectly and we were completely accommodated! We were looking for a rustic but reasonable place to have our wedding and the wedding barn was perfect. It really was Kellie though that made our day perfect! I don't know how she does it but it was stress free and amazing! Looking back we couldn't believe how much fun it was! Everyone had a fantastic time as well!

    I would recommend not using the DJ that is included in the Package, who is the brother of the man that owns the barn. Both were very obnoxious.

    When walking in the barn for the first time we immediately knew it was the perfect place. Jim Colby was so wonderful. He made sure that we completely comfortable with everything at the venue. He seemed to know everything we wanted. The food was delicious, that was one of the biggest compliments we have received since the wedding was how great the food was! It was such a unique venue I am so beyond happy with everything, I cannot say how impressed I am with Jim and his entire wedding process!

    This venue was the PERFECT place for our rustic/country themed wedding. Absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with the place as soon as I saw it and if you asked me if I could do it all over again, I'd still pick this place. LOVE!!!!!

    Our wedding in the barn was absolutely perfect! We wanted a casual, rustic
    feel and there was no better place to have our reception. The barn is in the
    perfect location (set in the middle of a pumpkin patch and next to an ice
    cream/BBQ shop). Our photographer had so many beautiful shots, both inside
    and outside, to chose from. Our bridal party and friends danced and sang our
    hearts out all night long on the dance floor in the middle of the barn,
    while other guests watched from the multiple levels. The charming feeling of
    the barn was overwhelming. Thank you for offering such a unique, affordable
    place to have rustic weddings in the Rochester Area!

    Can’t thank you all enough for helping to make our daughter’s wedding so memorable. Everyone is still talking about how great every detail was. The food was delicious from the appetizers to the cupcakes, and enjoyed by all. You have a great venue! We wish we could do it all over again!

    Gorgeous Venue! Great Value!

    RWB really saved the day for us. We had originally booked another venue and found out 20 days before that we were double booked and they were giving us the boot. My husband made a call to the venue after find them on wedding wire and they were available so we put our deposit in ASAP.
    Obviously the venue had been sitting for a bit and just needed a good sweep, which we were happy to help out with. Their price was super reasonable compared to other venues in the area but just needed some extra TLC.
    Well let me tell you that the other venue cancelling was such a blessing in disguise. We were so much happier here and the venue is just gorgeous with beautiful views outside. It was just a bit cozier for our guests which I loved.
    They were incredibly accommodating and laid back and even let us get in the venue a little earlier which was so appreciated. Everything was so lovely and we cannot thank them enough for allowing us to get in here last minute- we really had the time of our lives.

    The good: The barn is beautiful and needs little decor.

    The bad: I felt like anything they could get a dollar for, they would. The "wedding tax" is in full effect here. Costs were literally created as we went. I spoke to one person, and was told things were included, and another would call back and say there was a charge. The package deal with the wedding barn sounded like a good idea at the time, but ended up being terrible. We were only able to use their caterer, bar, baker, and DJ. The food stunk- lacked salt and any flavor, the cake was dry, they "forgot" the ice cream station, and the DJ was the worst to deal with. Communication before hand was horrid, he messed up names despite being coached and told several times (even wrote them phonetically)...he even tried to get extra money from us after the fact by telling us we shorted him.

    The Rochester Wedding barn - Although my night turned out beautiful (only because of my talented coordinator - Rebecca Dodge at Untamed Events). I would not recommend using the RWB for a number of reasons. The owner was not pleasant to work with and tried to change his own contract, they are locked in with Diamonds limousine service, Sarkis catering and you have to use their DJ. Duane gave us a hard time about everything as soon as we put down a deposit. the communication was horrible between the caterer, DJ, and barn owner, the night before he wedding the limo driver called me to ask where the wedding was. they nickel and dime us, tried to break the contract. ran out of beer, and my ice cream bar.. was on flavor of ice cream with 2 toppings... that we paid extra for. they conveniently lost a 2000$ check, and we had to prove to them through a bank statement pic that we did intact pay them. the coordinators that come complimentary will not help you until that day, so I hired someone for alot of extra $ to pull my day together. they CANNOT accommodate more than 100 guests! there is not enough room!! Also I didnt not get some of my item back, xmas lights, bathroom baskets, date jar etc.... I would not recommend this place at all.

    Most important advice, Keep copies of every transaction with the owners of the barn and the DJ (who happens to be the brother of barn owner). There is some shady book keeping going on there. They lie right through their teeth ! They made some pretty hefty banking errors and tried to blame a book keeper that didn't 't even exist! They don't own their mistakes.

    The barn itself is an amazing venue for a wedding and my daughter's wedding was perfect. Jim, the caterer and wedding coordinator was amazing! He is so sweet and accommodating. His food was delicious too! When Duane & Deb (owners) lose Jim to another venue, their little gold mine will crumble for sure! Nashville's did a great job with the bar as well.

    I could write a short novel on all the promises they made us, and then no follow through! The day of the wedding at 1pm, we received a phone call while we were getting our photos done that our wedding band was not allowed to play because they had drums. WHAT??!! This is after the drummer had met with the owner and discussed where their whole band was going to be set up and play two weeks earlier. Also on the wedding day, after they served all of dinner, they told us that their oven was broken and could no longer do pizzas for us at 9pm like we agreed on, so they brought out donuts. The owner had pre asked if he could put out donuts and we said that's fine, but we still want the pizza too, and he said oh yea, of course! And sure enough come the day of the wedding their oven is apparently broken....Oh, and our friends ended up setting up all of our decorations. They said they would have a day of person to set everything up for us, and we sent a few friends just to make sure everything went smoothly, but in the end the staff at the Wedding Barn did nothing and our friends set up everything in the reception and the ceremony location on the deck. We paid $300 for our ceremony to be there, and I (as the bride) was lining everyone up and telling them when to walk down the aisle. Again, this was supposed to be the responsibility of the day of coordinator, but that person did not exist. I could go on and on with examples like this as to what happened that day. Looking back I wish I had done more to get our money back.
