From the reviews
My wife and I got married here in August. It was absolutely perfect. The venue was exactly what we wanted and was so amazing. Kelly was incredible and so helpful and accommodating. Kelly went above and beyond in every aspect for our wedding and helped so much in making our day perfect. The venue was set up so amazing.
We got married at Rusty River Barn in July 2022 and can not say enough good things about the venue and the owner, Kellie! The property is stunning with the both the rustic barn and glass house, as well as all the outdoor space and pond for your guests to enjoy.
My daughter's wedding was this past weekend and all we can say is Wow! Kellie is amazing. The wedding was a huge success and it was due to Kellie's hard work, attention to detail, willingness to help and a list of great vendors. We can't thank her enough for making our guests feel welcome and everyone left in awe!
I got married at the Rusty River Barn on 8/21/2020, and it was the most beautiful day I could've imagined. All of our guests absolutely loved the venue. Everything went perfectly, and Eugene was SO helpful the day of and months leading up to the wedding. I'd recommend RRB to anyone!
Getting married at Rusty River Barn
Rusty River Barn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
