The barn is gorgeous inside. The food was absolutely amazing, and the caterer is the one you use with the all-inclusive package. If I could go back and do this all over again, I would probably use the venue, but never would purchase the all-inclusive package. That was the worst mistake. With that package, Elizabeth, the owner, is the day-of-coordinator, decorator, person-in-charge, etc. Based off my experience, I personally think she has her hands full and is unable to fulfill all the duties. Communication, or lack thereof, with her throughout the process should have been a direct indication for me of how this day was going to go. Being the day-of-coordinator, I would expect her to be there throughout the night. Even though she claims she was there whenever needed, she left around 8PM. Be aware of how long you have the bartenders. We found out a week before the wedding that they would only be there for 4 hours and wouldn’t be able to serve alcohol after, unless we paid for extra hours. I will say thank you to Elizabeth for asking a bartender to stay until 11PM. Otherwise, alcohol would have ended at 8PM. There was no water on the tables and servers were supposed to be offering wine to guests at the tables. The servers claim to have asked guests, and according to them, nobody wanted any wine. However, speaking with multiple people sitting at different tables, they were never offered wine. Bathrooms were installed 2 weeks prior, even though they were supposed to be complete in March. I worried about this throughout the entire planning phase, because it was important to me. I went off the great reviews posted. However now I realize it was her sister, daughter and son-in-law that wrote those reviews. I would not recommend working with Elizabeth Botts. Her services (day-of-coordinator, decorator, etc.) and servers are valued at $225, which is the amount she stated herself. Therefore, I guess you get what you pay for...
