Goodness where do I begin? The Barn at Gully Tavern was of course the first vendor we booked, and over the span of our 2 year engagement Robert and Dawn (the owners) were absolutely incredible. I researched 16 venues, narrowed it down to about 8 or so, we toured a total of TWO because The Barn at Gully Tavern was the 2nd venue we toured. We waited a week before firmly deciding, but we knew by the time we had gotten home from the tour. Robert and Dawn are some of the kindest, most honest, genuine people you'll meet. They built the barn for their daughter to get married during covid, and then their next daughter got married, and they loved making weddings a reality so much they started doing it for other brides, and you can tell they love what they do. The venue is always clean, taken care of, and they're always trying to improve it in some way. The venue is GORGEOUS, while it may be called a barn it did not feel like one from a farm, it is spacious, beautiful, the interior needs little to no decor because of the pretty high ceiling and drapes and lights (you'll see in photos). I personally loved the option for hand picked antique chairs they include with your rental, and they even have some decor you can use, especially arches. They handled the setup and did a great job bringing the floor plan to life for ceremony and reception. The pond is so pretty, we got married in April and the trees were lush and green and nature was our friend in photos. They handle all the landscaping and every time I visited it looked amazing. While super random, I really appreciated the bathrooms by the barn, they built them from some type of wood that gave the whole thing a natural pleasant smell, they're always clean, and the stalls are spacious and provide privacy (good for ballgowns like mine XD). The guys loved the groom's cottage and it was so nice getting ready at the venue in their bridal suite. I love the light blues and there was a big bathroom in there and a closet for our dresses while we got ready. In every way you can tell they care for their couples. And guests! They have a polaris they can use to drive down guests before the ceremony that might need assistance getting down the hill. I'm trying not to ramble but I could go on and on about how wonderful they were, I mean Robert literally saved the day when our photographer wasn't going to be there in time for the ceremony, he called around photographers he knew in the area until he got one, and our ceremony only ended up 30 minutes behind thanks to him, and we ended up back on track by dinner! I could not recommend them any more, they are the right choice for a venue. read more
