Let me start this off by saying the venue itself is so, so gorgeous. But what really sold us on the venue was Cyndi herself. We just got married on October 13th, and as the bride I have to say Cyndi helped me so much. Her and her team Jordan and Lyndsey (and a couple other girls I did not meet!) worked SO hard on our special day to make sure everything was PERFECT. We did go with an inclusive package with photography, catering and DJ. Her vendors she works with are phenomenal as well. If you want an amazing venue, a perfect day-of coordinator, awesome food, a fantastic photographer and a super experienced DJ, look no further, this is your place. read more

This place is NOT a joke and they are NOT thieves. They're Just the opposite. I've been to many, many weddings through the years and could not have been happier with Cyndi and her staff. It's a quality, beautiful venue at a great value. The food was delicious, the photographer was awesome, and so was the cool DJ. Cyndi and her staff make you feel like royalty with their attention to detail, making the wedding and reception phenomenal. FYI, pay for the fireworks, you won't be disappointed. It was such a cool send off for the bride and groom with the fireworks in the back ground. You will love this feature as it was really a special touch and will make beautiful pictures. Also, we did the open bar and the bartenders were fast and efficient and moved guests through the line quickly. As long as you understand how an open bar works it to, is a value buy. Can't praise this place and staff enough. Thank you Enchanting Barn. It was an enchanting evening and wedding!! read more

The Enchanting Barn - Olivia and Cole - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Osteen, Florida

I will caveat this review by saying that I have not had or planned an event here; however, I feel as if I have. One of my best friends, James H, whose review can be found here, had such a visceral bad experience I needed to share my perspective. Both James and his fiancee are far too kind and gracious to leave a review that truly demonstrates the the walk through hell they took with the Enchanting Barn and its owner. As James mentioned in his review, he lost a $14,500 deposit; however, they lost far more than that. James' fiancee is a resident at Wake Forest Baptist. It is located in Forsyth County, which has seen 36,274 COVID cases and 379 COVID deaths. As part of the largest healthcare system in that area, his fiancee was one of the frontline workers who was tasked with seeing many of those cases - a daunting and tolling task in and of itself. Before going on, some of you may assume she is a doctor who makes well over six figures a year, but I suggest you Google the hospital's stipends (salaries) for its residents as well as a search for how much medical school can put someone in debt. I also know some people reading this may not believe that COVID was that much of a threat but we believe it was (and still is due to the new variants), and at this time, we can peacefully disagree on the virus and only address the losses James and his fiancee took. On top of being a frontline worker, add on the stress of having to reschedule your wedding and taking more than just a financial loss to the venue. I watched both James and his fiancee's mental health suffer as a result of trying to negotiate and find a middle ground with an uncompromising and at times unprofessional business owner. Financially, they lost more than the $14,500 deposit. They lost the cost of invitations, postponement cards, postage, table decorations, etc. While all of these things may seem small, they add up. The wedding party also took a financial hit because of the money we spent to do our part and to help our friends. This was a loss James and his fiancee knew that they would have to take and even offered to reimburse us for the costs we incurred - something none of us would ever even entertain. However, regardless of feelings towards this, it's still another financial loss for them. Yes, the owner did offer to postpone their wedding three times, which from an outsider's point of view seems kind. The optics of it is far from the reality. She often would not even respond to their communications, which I have seen and were far from threatening, hostile, or otherwise negative. She was more than responsive and gregarious when taking their money but as soon as they requested a partial refund, her tune changed quite drastically. They never asked for a full refund of their deposit. They simply asked for a partial refund for a celebration they will never - in at least the foreseeable future - be able to celebrate. It's hardly unreasonable to ask for a refund of an unplanned event - there was never a third date planned or established. Finding a lawyer to try to recoup some of their money was something both of them were highly hesitant to do. They were so hopeful that the owner would be understanding and that together, they'd be able to reach an agreement that would leave both parties happy. When the owner refused to respond to their attorney's correspondence, they decided that a legal battle would only lead to more stress, which is another emotional loss they didn't need to incur. It's so disappointing and heartbreaking to see how the greed and apathy of one person can take so much from a couple, who only asked for so little in a time where life has already taken so much. read more

This place is a joke and thier thieves. Beware brides, stay far,far away from this place especially if you plan to serve alcohol bc you wont get the leftovers back, I'm sure you can figure out what they do with it. I've read a few other reviews about them stealing the liquor, you get everything else back but. The bar staff was rude and acted like they didnt want to be there even when ppl were putting 50's in the tip jar. The bartenders were witnessed putting the liquor in the back room and not the vehicle they were told to. When asked for the liquor back it was no bueno. Every excuse was used but no resolution. That's not the only thing that went wrong, dont even get me started on the bathroom's. Stay away from this place. You were warned read more

Here for a wedding and it's a cute spot! Tons of open land, nice dance floor, an area for the ceremony, and outdoor bar. Great views as well especially the water fountain. read more

The Enchanting Barn is a newer wedding venue in Central Florida. I think with a little bit of growth, this place could become an amazing venue. Currently they have a spacious barn, with a beautiful bridal suite on the second floor. They have a dance floor outside, and a beautiful tree to get married under. There is an outdoor bar area perfect for cocktail hour, as well as a vintage truck among acres of open field. It's a beautiful view, but as a photographer, there aren't that many places to "escape" to for photos. The sun beats down harshly, because of the lack of trees and shade. Cell phone service is also quite limited. I think as they grow and add things, it will only get better and better. I haven't shot there in summer, so I'm not sure of the fan/AC situation for Florida heat. All in all it is a beautiful venue worth checking out. read more

Having experienced a loss of a $14,500 deposit to the Enchanting Barn, this may be the most expensive review I ever write, but at this price I feel I have purchased the right to leave it and share my experience. I do not want to unfairly bash the venue, nor do I want to flood them with negative reviews, but I do want everyone to be able to see what was experienced and why my wife and I are saddened and disappointed with the final outcome of losing our deposit that took us two years to save and having nothing to show for it. I added a list of the events that transpired below, but ultimately we were only offered continued postponments, but not a partial refund, for our originally planned May 2020 wedding due to Covid. - Wedding postponed from May 2020 to February 2021 due to Covid. This was offered free of charge, but a partial refund was requested and preferred. - In November 2020, we decided to cancel our February 2021 wedding since things were still unsafe for our guests. My wife works with Covid patients and the rise of variants and their uncertainties did not make us comfortable. A partial refund was requested, again, but was denied. We were again offered a postponement. Cyndi did make attempts to reschedule another wedding on our Feb 2021 wedding date and said we may be able to get refunded if successful, but unfortunately this was not able to happen despite her attempts. - In February 2021, we south legal counsel. Despite vaccines starting to become widely available in the US, our family members in Europe and Asia do not have access to these and do not know when they will. - We decided to stop our pursuit of legal counsel since we did not want to add more stress to the situation and cost to both parties. I reached out one last time to negotiate a partial refund, but never received a response. While although we still appreciate Cyndi's willingness to postpone our wedding free of charge, especially since we did not have wedding cancellation insurance, it seemed unreasonable for us to either expose our vulnerable loved ones to Covid, or keep pushing our wedding out to the next year, again, with the uncertainty of whether it will even be able to be hosted then as well. My wife has been working with Covid patients at Wake Forest Baptist hospital in North Carolina since the start of the pandemic and is still working with them to this day. Because of this, she not only needs to be careful of who she is in contact with, especially with the rise of Covid variants, but she also has to request leave at least 6 months in advance. After being engaged for over two years and being unable to celebrate with our loved ones twice now at the Enchanting Barn (we tried to postpone our original date, but we deemed the second date unsafe to celebrate as well), my wife and I decided to get married with just our parents present. Although we are happy to finally be married and hope to celebrate with our loved ones once everything is safe and back to normal, it's unfortunate that we will have to associate our ordeal with the Enchanting Barn with our special day forever. My wife grew up in Osteen and has always shared with me the pleasant experiences she's had in her small hometown, but this one greatly contrasts with everything I've been told. Instead, I just feel like we have been robbed. read more

Due to an unforeseen medical issue, we had to cancel the wedding 4 months prior to the date. I initially called Cyndi to explain the circumstances and inquire about a partial refund. After telling me that she would call me back after reviewing the file, she has not called me back and has not returned any of my messages. read more
