From the reviews
Really great venue if you are considering it . . . everyone was very nice and accommodating for the double wedding I shot there a couple of years ago:)
We had our daughter's wedding at The Lily Barn this past weekend. We could not have asked for a better experience here. The gardens were beautiful and the pavilion was perfect for the reception. Janice and her team were incredibly hard workers getting ready for the big day and on the day as well.
Property: the property is beautiful and perfect for anyone wanting a garden or outdoor wedding. The gazebo made a perfect backdrop to our ceremony and the grounds provided ample locations for pictures. The barn we used to get ready in was full of amenities. The grooms cabin seemed small but I heard no complaints.
We went to a wedding here in early October. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were all done here. The ceremony in the meadow was great, the gardens are unique and the Lily barn makes for a great location for a cocktail hour. The reception hall was comfortable for around 70 guests seated.
Getting married at The Lily Barn
The Lily Barn comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Lily Barn
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Lily Barn — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
