"We had an amazing experience at the Blue Ribbon Barn! Amanda was professional, timely, and willing to help wherever she could. We had our ceremony and reception here with a food truck on site! The barn made sure we had all the seating we needed and the tent was used for a dance-floor at the end of the night. We can’t rave about the Blue Ribbon Barn enough for making our day so perfect!!"

"We got married here and I can’t recommend it enough. Beautiful venue. We had about 120 guest and there was plenty of room for everyone. Ceremony and reception at the same location. Everything turned out amazing with very little stress. Amanda was quick to respond with any questions I had. We were the first wedding at this location and it went so smoothly. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing events they have in the future."

"The Blue Ribbon Barn is absolutely wonderful! Amanda (the owner) was absolutely wonderful! She ensured the entire night ran so smoothly and was readily available to assist when needed. The venue is beautiful! The outdoor space especially was my favorite! I couldn’t get over the landscaping! 😍😍"
