  • “ We couldn't have asked for a more special place for the most special day of our lives. This venue is absolutely perfect if you're looking for an intimate setting that embodies beauty, nature, and rustic elegance. The best part was working with the owners, Darrell and Nate, who did everything possible to make sure we felt supported every step of the way. We now consider them a part of our family and will be back to visit the Melissa Barn very soon! “

  • “ The Melissa Barn deserves a million stars. The property is absolutely breath taking, from the wonderful landscaping to the beautiful repurposed wood in the barn that looks and smells incredible. The venue providing a full weekend package with the house allowed us to extend our celebrations, provide sleeping arrangements for our bridal party, and extra time for a very relaxing and stress free set up & clean up. The pool table and ping pong table were bonus points for the groomsmen while the ladies got ready! They also have a garage on the property stocked with decorations that really helped with staying in budget. Nate the venue manager did such an amazing job with vendor recommendations, answering questions in a timely manor, and being an extra set of hands the day of our wedding. The Melissa Barn Actually convinced a few of our engaged friends to consider their venues due to how accommodating and relaxing the whole experience was. ”
