Reviews from Happy Couples
Wishing Well Barn was the first and only wedding venue we looked at. We fell in love the moment we walked into the barn. Michelle turned our dreams and vision for our wedding into a reality. It was truly better than anything I could’ve imagined. From the beautiful areas to get ready to the ceremony set up to the twinkling lights in the barn to our sparkler send off, everything was so perfect. Michelle is the BEST and will make sure everything goes smoothly. I could never thank her enough for making our wedding day so beautiful and special. I definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married
