Testimonials

“We just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for making the wedding last Friday so memorable and perfect! Your attention to detail and professionalism was very appreciated. Tim’s ability to wrangle a crowd through the serving lines so quickly was amazing, and definitely helped get us back on track timewise. The bartenders did a great job keeping up with the “demand”. You made it so easy to just enjoy our day, knowing you had things handled so well. You guys are the best!”

- Sheryl Albrecht

“So many compliments on this gorgeous venue! Things I personally loved: indoor bathrooms, staffed bar on both the upper and lower levels, bridal suite, the patio and landscaping out back, having the barn doors open on both sides, the overall rustic look, and MARISSA for all of her help!”

“The Hay Loft was a beautiful venue for our wedding that truly catered to all of our needs. The staff members were extremely accommodating, friendly, and flexible. They were very helpful through the entire process and were extremely laid back to work with. The venue itself was stunning and we received many compliments about the natural beauty of the barn. It was a perfect place to host the ceremony and reception on a warm July day.”

“Got married here June 2021 and had the most perfect day! The space was perfect for what we wanted and our guests really utilized all of the space. We had pretty perfect weather and everything went very smoothly! We had about 250-270 guests and everyone fit on the top level of the barn very comfortably. The staff was incredible and helped out so much! All of our guests raved about how great of a time they had!”

-Kimberly Nelson

“We had the most amazing Indian wedding at the Hay Loft Barn. It is a very beautiful venue, and really does not need a lot of decorations. Nevertheless, we converted it into an Indian palace. Tim is truly a wonderful person, and is so easy to work with. His staff is very professional and performed their duties quietly and efficiently. We thank them all for giving us a lifetime of wonderful memories.”
