    The Baker Barn Wedding


    The Carriage House was our dream venue for our wedding. Since I was a little girl I dreamed of a barn wedding. Erin and her team brought my dream to life. From the tour of the facility and the multiple package options I was able to make the Carriage House venue exactly what I dreamed of for my wedding. The planning process was made so easy not only by the wedding package we chose having many tedious wedding tasks handled for us, but also using the resources Erin and her team already have vetted for us. Any ideas or requests I made of the venue were met with acceptance and eagerness by the venue staff to make it happen and bring us our dream wedding. From the outdoor garden wedding to the spacious barn brought to life with a casual reception vibe. We loved every moment of our wedding at the Carriage House and appreciate how hard the venue team worked to make our dreams come true.

    Dream Come True

    The Carriage House was an absolute dream come true. My husband and I wanted a small, intimate wedding that had a whimsical feel. Erin made the whole experience so magical and added many little details that truly enhanced our wedding. Working with The Carriage House was such an amazing experience. If you want your wedding to have a beautiful, dreamy vibe, The Carriage House is perfect!

    The Carriage House's reply:

    Thank you so much Jesse! I really enjoyed working with you and helping make your day sunflowery and special! It was a beautiful wedding! Wishing you both love and happiness!

    The most beautiful venue!

    I have too many great things to say about The Carriage House! The venue was absolutely gorgeous! It had a great flow from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour to the reception. Erin and her team made sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect with their responsiveness, organization, and willingness to help however they could! We received so many compliments about our wedding venue from our guests. We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue and a more responsive team!

    The Carriage House's reply:

    Thanks a million for your kind words Mallory! Your wedding day was perfect and you were a breeze to work with!
    Congratulations!

    Great Experience

    Working with The Carriage House was easy, fun and stress-free. The owners were so flexible and attentive, and they really made us feel like they cared about our big day going well. We never ran into any issues whatsoever.

    The venue is clean, well-lit, and extremely spacious, and our guests have been giving us compliments ever since. The on-site parking was also a huge plus. We couldn't recommend it enough!

    The Carriage House's reply:

    We Loved working with you both! You're wedding was Stunning and complimented our garden perfectly! Hope to stay in touch! Thank you Dan and Nick!

    The perfect venue!

    My wife and I just got married at the Carriage House on April 27th and honestly, Erin, with House Of Assembly Events, was able to take our dreams and make it reality for our special day! Erin teamed up with Amanda, of Simply Weddings By Amanda, and Sarah, of Sarah Annay Photography was honestly a dream team!! If you are looking for something breathtaking and truly beautiful for your special day and don’t trust just anyone to do it, you have my word that they are the best.
    The Carriage House was a perfect venue. Want an inside wedding? They have an amazing rustic barn. Want an outside wedding? You have your choice of a few different spots. Want a combo? (Honestly, who wouldn’t? Highly recommend!) They have that option too!

    Don’t believe me? Look at these amazing photos from my own wedding and tell me who wouldn’t think this was stunning? And, the best part is, the entire reception area was a complete surprise to the brides until after the ceremony...and it was phenomenal! Do you know another vendor you would trust that much?

    If you are just starting to look or think you found the venue for you, please don’t say the final yes until you’ve seen what the House of Assembly Events has to offer. They’ll more than likely beat the price of your other choice too for what’s to offer!

    Absolutely everyone who attended the wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

    The Carriage House's reply:

    We LOVED being such a special part of your wedding day! Thank you so much for completely trusting us! This was such an amazing experience and a perfect example of the incredible work that a good vendor team can do when they are given some freedom to do what they do best! This day was Perfect and oh so enchanting! Congrats Kaitlin and Krysta and Thank Tou for the great review!

    Amazing Venue for wedding, gathering, or any event

    Amazing Venue for wedding, gathering, or any event! Erin was amazing and went above and beyond to create the perfect Garba for us (Indian Dance festivity, pre-wedding). She did the research herself and decorated the place way better than we could have ever imagined.

    The Carriage House's reply:

    Thank you for your great review! Your event was So Much Fun!! Hope to see you both again one day!

    We had a great experience celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary at The Pioneer Barn. The venue is beautiful! The event manager, Ms. Gail White and her staff are great to work with. It is the ideal place for a rustic wedding!

    Thank you Madeleine - but it's easy to have a fantastic event when your clients are amazing!

    Choosing the Pioneer Barn for our wedding venue was easy once we spoke with Gail. She was professional and helpful from start to finish. I live in Salt Lake City and my husband lives in southern GA so we were not able to spend much time in the area prior to our big day. She was able to answer all of our questions, make suggestions, describe things that had worked for previous ceremonies, etc. The barn was beautiful and clean, and seeing the 360 degree shots on the website was super helpful. The location was very easy for guests to find and there was plenty of parking for all. I especially loved that the barn was air conditioned.
    Gail also was able to recommend a DJ, and florist that know the venue and take great care of their clients. They were awesome. I did not step foot into the venue until 5 minutes before the ceremony (crazy, I know) but I was confident that things would be lovely and they absolutely were. Gail was on-hand before to direct vendors and set-up; during the ceremony putting last touches on things inside (we used the porch for our ceremony to take advantage of the setting sunlight); and she stayed in the background helping during the reception and to the very end, picking up any stray items that had fallen, ensuring the photographers knew where they could get the best shots, doing everything she could to be helpful. Every venue should have a Gail, and the Pioneer Barn was the perfect setting for our ceremony and reception. Thank you so much for everything!!

    Thank you Laura,
    I truly enjoyed working with you and Kirk. It was such a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple! Wishing you the best always,

    Overall the best experience while looking at venues!
    I love that it's so near down town but feels like you're so secluded. Gail has been amazing since DAY ONE! Very open to all of my ideas about seating. They have some many options to add to your package! Tables, Chairs, a room for the bridal party to get ready, servers, clean-up, ect. Definitely an all in one place! Gail even provides you with a list of vendors for all your other needs. She always makes time for me anytime I call to chat with questions or new ideas and even makes time for frequent visits!

    Definitely worth checking out! We weren't planning on rustic but fell in love with this place! They even have the option of renting out all of Fort Menendez for your guests to get a full tour!

    I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THEY ARE AIR-CONDITIONED!!! Only barn I've seen for a wedding venue that is AC.

    Go talk to Gail do a walk through. We're renting Chivari Chairs from Clarks Rental to add an elegant feel.

    Gail was such a wonderful and professional person to help organize our special day. We couldn't have been happier with the final appearance and outcome of our wedding and reception. Every guest said that it was hands down one of the prettiest and most enjoyable weddings they have ever attended.

    The pioneer barn couldn't have been more perfect! I love the fact that you get the secluded barn feel but then step out and you're only minutes from downtown st augustine. Everything was so gorgeous and Gail was so accommodating to all of our needs and last minute changes, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. I wanna go back and do it all over again! I can't even tell you how many compliments we got on how awesome this venue was. Gail and all of the staff were excellent to work with and all so nice, we loved them! Would recommend the pioneer barn over and over again!

    This venue was recently expanded and remodeled and did not disappoint. We had plenty of space for our buffet, bar, band, DJ and dance floor! The new porch on the side of the barn made for a great place for guests to relax and enjoy the night air and full moon too. The Pioneer Barn is also great because they have plenty of parking - not something that is easy to find in Saint Augustine. Gail & Dan were extremely helpful throughout the planning and execution of our charity fundraiser. We are hoping to make this an annual event and look forward to working with them again next fall.

    I cannot find words to express how amazing every single thing about this venue was. From start to finish they were perfect!
    Th venue is awesome! Th rustic details were exactly what we wanted. Gail with the Pioneer Barn is one of the most professional and caring people.

It was a fabulous value as well. The parking is incredible and easy. The omit opportunities are priceless. Our family and friends loved it!

    Gail, the wedding coordinator was amazing to work with. From the moment we met her even considering the Pioneer Barn for our venue, she was enthusiastic and willing to go the extra mile to make our wedding special! She responded quickly to any inquiry and updated us with even the smallest changes. The Barn was a perfect size for our party of 80 with plenty of room to sit and dance and the chapel was the perfect place for the ceremony. The day went off without a hitch and the space was perfect even though we were not having a country themed wedding. The space adapted well to the simple décor we chose. The price is unbeatable if you're getting married in St Augustine, and we could have whatever food and drink we chose! Our wedding was fully customizable at the Pioneer Barn!

    I simply cannot say enough about Gail and the Pioneer Barn. Gail and the staff went out of their way to make our wedding day run smoothly. Even when our plans changed the day of the wedding due to rain, she jumped in to help arrange vendors and move tables. We could not have done it without her!
    The venue is beautiful and affordable. That combined with great the staff makes it a clear choice for any event.

    If you’re looking for a great place to have a rustic, barn style wedding reception without the hassle of you and your guests driving out into the country, this is the place! We absolutely enjoyed working with the Pioneer Barn and Joa throughout our entire wedding planning process and of course on our BIG day. Joa was always very nice, professional, and quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns. We wanted to have a more laid back and relaxing wedding reception and Joa helped us achieve that atmosphere. She was very flexible with us on a lot of the things that we wanted to do, most of which we probably wouldn’t have been able to do at other wedding venues in town. Joa ALWAYS made time for us if we were in town and wanted to stop by at the barn to look at it for layout ideas, take measurements, or simply just ask questions. The barn and courtyard look great and really worked well for our rustic themed wedding, but it will also work great for any other desired wedding themes as well! We highly recommend the Pioneer Barn for your wedding reception venue!

    If not for the wonderful help of Joa, the wedding would not have happened.

    I had to change the venue Oct. 6. from one location to the Pioneer Barn.

    I can not thank Joa enough for all her help and support.

    We are absolutely thrilled with the way our recent wedding turned out with the Pioneer Barn. Gail White was an amazing, knowledgeable, and helpful event manager, as well as just a pleasure to work with. We felt that our desires were both heard and understood, and everything was executed exactly as we hoped, if not more than we hoped. We planned from out of town, and given the anxiety that come along with that, she made everything go smoothly and clearly from start to finish. I can't thank everyone enough for such a wonderful, fun venue and an amazing day.

    Great price-beautiful venue!

    Finding a venue with only a few months before the planned wedding is a hard task. I knew I wanted something rustic and vintage. We didn't have a very big budget and weren't planning on a lot of guests. The Carriage House was the perfect spot. We had a few requests that we had to satisfy for our Pastor- and Erin and her group were able to make everything work! The venue is gorgeous. It was the Saturday before Memorial Day- and in true Florida fashion it was hot and miserable. The AC in both buildings came through for us. Quaint little spot in a wonderful City!

    The Carriage House's reply:

    Thank you for your review and photos, Rachel! We loved sharing your story on our social media! Best wishes to you and Reno!
