The Victoriana Barn And Event Center

This venue is absolutely gorgeous! It was perfect for a wedding. I didn't have a great feeling about the manager/owner when I first met her. Brides beware! If you get an uneasy feeling, trust it! I understand there must be rules, after all this is her property and she has to protect it. My daughter had her heart set on this place, so we went with it. Planning went well and the venue offers a lot of decor that they allow you to use which is super nice! I didn't agree with not being "allowed" to use certain caterers because the manager/owner "doesn't like them". So we ended up doing our own food which added a lot of extra work for us. But the bride and groom were able to have the food they wanted. First major issue arose at rehearsal, the manger gave the photographer red flags for every idea they had. She was very much a bully about it, to the point that we didn't even use the venue to take the majority of the photos, fortunately the bride and groom have a friend with a barn that provided a great place for them to do all of the photo ideas that they wanted to have for their day. My daughter, the bride cried for two hours after rehearsal because this lady made her feel so uncomfortable about her choice of venues. The next day, wedding day, was absolutely a perfect day. Our Bride and Groom had a beautiful ceremony and our guests had a wonderful time. Two employees from the venue, both hunkered down behind the bar, drinking the alcohol that we provided, whatever.. it's a party right? Wrong! Towards the end of the night someone got sick from having too much to drink. It happens, one would assume that the owner/manger could handle herself professionally. Neither she, nor the bartender asked if we needed anything to clean up the mess. She simply stormed out from behind the bar went over told our guests that were assisting that the ill needed to be taken out the back way and that "no one pukes in her venue", continued on with "get her out of here, this party is over." She then Marched over and told the dj he had 15 minutes. First of all the "contract" that she constantly mentions, stated that the party was to be over at 11 and we had until 11:30 to clean up and vacate. She threw her temper tantrum just a few minutes after 10:00 p.m. We started immediately cleaning up because honestly, I was finished with her crappy attitude. Our bride ended up leaving in tears with her bridesmaids. We got all of our stuff up and out by 10:30 with the help of our remaining guests. Took the party to the bride and groom's home and surrounded them with love and support. Hoping to finish their day on a positive, happy note. SUCESS! The owner wants to sidestep all around the immediate issues. Complaining that her car was damaged. I am truly sorry that damage was done to her car, but when you over serve alcohol and over consume, yourself, things happen. It could have been anyone's car. In all we had a wonderful day and I've encouraged the bride and groom to focus on the happy that this day brought them and forget the bad. Lastly, I know it's a barn on a working farm and there will be critters. The bathroom floors were littered with mouse droppings, which can easily be swept up before you invite people in to celebrate events. Mis- managed is the best way I can describe this venue. I give it two stars because it certainly have much potential. If provided with good customer service.

We were just married here at the end of June. I've taken some time to calm down and yet I am still upset by our experience. To leave a full review, you would not believe me and think I was totally a bridezilla and crazy yet, nearly all of our guests and vendors agreed on the horrible treatment by Diane the manager. She's an extremely passive aggressive person and changed her views multiple times from the time we originally started working with her, for nearly 9 months. There are so many things that went wrong in so many upsets that I ended up crying for days before my wedding up until the day of my wedding and even after!!!! We had so many troubles that she did not seem to care about or even try to fix, while treating guests and vendors rudely. Even denying my diabetic husband a drink before a June outdoor wedding! Telling us we could have crock pots to keep our food warm and then telling us that we couldn't use more than two without electric going out. Then cleaning up all of our centerpieces 2 hours before the wedding ended because our food person was making sure the food was cleaned up and she says she thought we were closing up!!! How does that make any sense?!?!? Tractors ran the day of our wedding, which we understood since it is a working farm, then stopped for HOURS before starting again during our outdoor ceremony! (They stopped for hours!!! And then only started once we were at the point of saying our vows during our ceremony!! Then turned off again, wtf!?!?!?!?) To say I was extremely disappointed upset and overall pissed off is an understatement. The barn is beautiful but, absolutely a horrible experience. Linens had black mold like spots and we were not given much time to set up beforehand that we were promised, with snarky comments and repeated emails days before to change things and add her concerns. All of our guest and vendors came to us with complaints all night long and as the bride I really expected to not have that since she was running things and the cause of nearly all of this. However, she rarely came out from behind the bar area to do anything more than fight with guests and give her input then disappear again, it seemed.Very disappointed and upset that this is the memory of our wedding.

Super unprofessional ruined my sisters big day. Broke their contact because someone puked at a wedding.... it's a wedding With alcohol someone is bound to puke. Diane made the DJ stop playing at 10:15. 45 minutes before the contract stated it should be over. She was over all rude and very strict of rules to follow...that we made sure to follow but it didn't matter all I wanted was my sister to have a great day but Diane had to RUIN my sisters big day because someone puked on the concrete floor that by the way she didn't even have to clean up we were right on it. Diane and the bartender were serving the the alcohol the whole night and clearly over served the girl that puked. Diane make sure to check your contract before you end the whole wedding over some puke.
