Stone Hill Barn

1st of all let's talk about parking. The walk from the parking lot to the venue was far more that 100 feet. There were a ton of elderly and disabled people in attendance to the wedding I recently attended. I could not believe there was zero accommodation for them. Then the walk way was rough gravel, and incredibly difficult to walk on if you were wearing high heels. Then the contract was changed without the consent of the wedding party, and when challenged, were told they could go elsewhere if they didn't want to abide by it. The out side of the barn was overgrown with little to no outside lighting. We were CONSTANTLY scolded for being on the grass. (If you don't want people on the property, don't be a wedding venue.) The teenage on sight staff, were little to no help, they didn't help set up, the didn't help clean up. All they did scold the bride and groom for any of the guests infractions, instead of the designated contact persons, which added unnecessary stress to the couple. Please proceed with caution when booking an event at this venue.

I attended a wedding here and the parking lot is difficult. I broke my heel on the long gravel path up to the front door (and we parked the closest but still had a trek so good luck to the elderly and disabled who will have no ability to park close and only option is walking in on a narrow gravel road) Additionally, when the sun sets, it is blinding so curtains or blinds would help. The lighting is too yellow and so between the sun and the lights, our pictures were washed. Beautiful interior but the outside is brackish water and gravel and overgrown weeds. I see the potential and wish this business luck but I would never have a reception here with these problems now.

Sister in-law had a wedding here. The owners are the worst and act like they don't want anybody on their property. The contract was changed six months later. The house that the bride was supposed to stay in was not finished, and they have been working on it for over a year. Parking was horrible, had to park over 100 feet away! The 16 year old staff members were a joke and went to the bride and groom with an issue rather than the designated family members. The bride was upset. The barn was beautiful! The property owners need to figure out how to manage a venue. Save yourself a headache and go somewhere else!

John and myself with the help of our family have been planning for our wedding and looking a venues. We thought we had found a great one in a location close to Wichita at the Stone Hill Barn. I called and set up a time to go and see the property. The man speaking said that he had our date open at that time. After I told the man on the phone the name of my partner he stopped being as kind. I sent him a question on the date of our tour. He sent back a reply that the date we had asked about for our wedding was already booked and in a way kind of told us that we could not have a tour of the property. I sent back texts saying that we did have other dates and would still like to look at the property. He never communicated with me again. Even I could see that my texts were delivered to his phone. Stone Hill Barn in Augusta is not a good venue. I am not upset to the fact that they would not do our wedding. I am upset that people can be treated this way. Any people. Gay. straight. Black. yellow. Anything..... no one should be treated this way. John and myself are good people. We work hard in our jobs and our community. For someone to be so rude based on who you would like to marry is crazy to me. They do not know john or myself and clearly never wanted to meet us.. That is just fine Stone Hill Barn. We do not want to meet you as well. However I do want to let all my friends and family know the kind of place you are. If you are planning a event I would never ever do it at this venue. If you would like to let them know how you feel about the way they treat people please feel free!! 316-252-5779316-619-44639333 SW Haverhill Rd, Augusta, ks 67010Again if you are planning any event I would stay away from this space. Spend your money in a place you know you are loved and cared for. I hope people read this and take some action or are better informed on this venue.Thank you,Matt

Disclaimer: I was only a guest at a wedding here. As a guest, this was a beautiful location, the inside of the barn was very nice and they had AC (unlike other barns I've attended weddings at). Seemed well coordinated and nice. Obviously I can't comment much on coordination, but I did see that a lot of reviews noted the distance from the parking lot. It really wasn't far and there was a circle drive to drop off if you do have someone who couldn't walk from that distance. Very pretty and nice.

I got married here and it was a nightmare! At first, they were very nice and hospitable. The week of the wedding is when it all went down the drain. They started charging us for stuff that was never initially disclosed to us. When it came down to it, I couldn't do anything but pay it, because you can't move your wedding with 400 people attending the reception to another place the week of! They told us that we could decorate the day before and then later said that we had to pay $75 an hour in order to decorate. They initially told us the lights hung up were included and then came back to tell us that they were an extra $275. After our reception, they told us the next day that someone drove through the yard and messed up the sprinkler system. We stayed in the cottage over night and I'm sure I would've noticed tire marks in the yard! When I asked for pictures to prove it, they couldn't provide any.They also told us that we messed up their sewage system. When we were there decorating, their hired hand told us that it was previously messed up so if we had any troubles to let him know. When I told them this, they dropped that comment immediately.They wanted to correspond 100% by phone and I told them that I preferred to correspond via email. (I wanted to have documentation of everything they claimed). Once I asked to correspond via email, all of their accusations stopped and they immediately mailed our rent deposit check back.I would stay away from this venue! It is very pretty but it is not ran well at all! They will try to charge you for stuff that isn't your fault!

Great barn but lacking in ways too make people happy. Let's start from the beginning. Crappy dirt lane leads to crappy dirt parking 100s of feet from barn or wedding venue. Only parking attendant is owners son keeping folks from parking (close) out back where the vendors park. Super nice new barn and facilities. That's where the fun stops. They charge extra for everything. Table set up, chairs, takedown, cleanup, every minute you are there, you're on the clock. Hotter that hell outside with zero shade and 1 horse trough with waters. Setup and takedown or chairs is the wedding party's responsibility???? Just stupid. Must be 100 Bette replaces to get married.

Attended a wedding. Beautiful facility. Disappointed there was no golf cart attendant to assist elderly (or ADA) from barn to wedding ceremony. Need to add that one to the checklist.
