On the property
What couples highlight
“We had dreamed of an outdoor ceremony on this beautiful property but due to weather we were easily able to hold the ceremony inside.”

From the reviews
From planning and decorating to the final moments of the big day, my experience with Barn at the Covered Bridge was amazing! I loved the bridal suite! My girls and I felt pampered and relaxed in our separate and spacious area :) My wedding ceremony was supposed to be outside by the pond in the beautiful green pasture,…
We had a wonderful experience at The Barn at the Covered Bridge. Michelle the wedding coordinator and Hal the MC were great(!!)….they kept everything going smoothly throughout our daughter’s wedding day.
The barn by the covered bridge was the PERFECT choice for my son's rehearsal dinner! 🌟 With room for 100 guests and a fantastic catering kitchen, it was a dream venue. The scenic surroundings made for stunning photos—a perfect memory in the making! 📸💕
This was a great venue. Groom/Guys room was epic. The main room started as a blank slate to be decorated how we imagined and it all came together great, and my lady was very happy with it all!
Getting married at The Barn at the Covered Bridge
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
