    Rehearsal Dinner

    The Barn At Cornerstone made planning our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party so easy from start to finish. The team was responsive and flexible with our schedule, even making time to show us the space when we were visiting town. They understood our vision for a barn-themed celebration and delivered exactly what we were looking for. The venue itself is the perfect backdrop for a rustic theme, with all the charm and character you could want. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We were also able to book the Lodge and cabins for our family to stay for the weekend. It was great to have everyone so close. The cabins and lodge were clean and just what we hoped for.

    Magical

    Our Autumn Wedding Reception was magical. The venue was stunning during sunset. Evening lighting was magical. Food, drink, music, and space all perfectly combined for a memorable event.

    The best venue and team!

    The Barn At Cornerstone showed us they genuinely cared about our wedding. The team answered our questions fast and always gave us honest answers, which made planning so much easier. The venue itself is stunning with the rustic barn, creek, and beautiful landscape creating the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and photos. We loved that they offer in-house catering and had the option to add lodging so our family and bridal party could stay close and celebrate with us without the stress of finding hotels. Everything ran smoothly on our big day thanks to their attention to detail and hard work. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married.
