If I could give Barron’s Red Silo zero stars, I would. Our experience was a complete nightmare, and I strongly urge any couple considering this venue to think twice before booking. We signed our contract in July 2024, and from the beginning, we were promised certain amenities—specifically, white or black table linens and chair covers. Our contract clearly stated these were included. But just 30 days before our wedding, we were informed that white linens were no longer available. It only got worse. Less than a month out, we were told that the golf cart—another important part of the day for helping guests with mobility issues—was out of service. Around the same time, we were also told that the bridal suite, which we paid for and which was included in our signed contract, was suddenly unavailable. The venue had changed ownership, and instead of honoring our legally binding agreement, Brett and Haylie told us our contract was “voided since the selling of the venue was considered an act of God.” This is not only outrageous but completely dishonest. A change in ownership is not an “act of God”—it’s a business transaction. Using that excuse to dodge their responsibilities was infuriating and unethical. Additionally, when we asked Brett and Haylie not to post photos without our prior approval, they responded stating the our contract states they can use our photos for advertisement purposes. Clearly, our contract only was valid for purposes convenient for them. When we arrived on Friday to begin setup, things were not ready as they should have been. We had to repeatedly ask Brett and Haylie to fix things that should have been taken care of before we arrived. There were extra tables set up that we never requested—despite Brett calling us three separate times during the week to confirm how many were needed—and we had to ask over and over again for them to be removed. Haylie, who was supposed to help coordinate cocktail hour and specifically manage the Polaroid photo guest book, chose instead to follow us around during our couple’s photos—so she could take pictures of our poses to use as inspiration for her own wedding this fall. Totally inappropriate and unprofessional. During the reception, we noticed actual garbage under the tables—including used napkins, cookie crumbs, and even mouse feces. For a venue owned by someone who also runs a lawn care business, we expected the grounds—especially the gazebo where our ceremony was held—to be at least properly maintained. There was no fresh mulch, and the landscaping looked neglected. Communication leading up to the wedding was abysmal. We had to email multiple times, call, text, and even have our parents reach out just to get a response. This went on for weeks. On the actual wedding day, Brett—who was supposed to be our day-of coordinator—was drinking during the reception. To top it all off, he gave a tour of the venue to another couple during our wedding, and allowed them to walk through the lower level while the bridal party was getting ready. There was absolutely no respect for our privacy or the fact that it was our once-in-a-lifetime event. The day was filled with stress and frustration due to the venue’s complete lack of professionalism. Barron’s Red Silo did not honor their contract, communicated poorly, and showed a blatant disregard for our wedding day. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This venue is not worth the risk.
