At AJ Barn, we prioritize making every wedding unique and memorable by hosting only one wedding each day. This approach allows us to dedicate our full attention and resources exclusively to each couple, ensuring personalized service, seamless coordination, and a special atmosphere tailored to their vision. By limiting events to one per day, we eliminate scheduling conflicts and provide an intimate setting where every detail is carefully managed to create a flawless and meaningful celebration.

Our wedding and event barn can accommodate up to 175 guests, providing a spacious and comfortable indoor environment for your special occasion. Additionally, we offer a covered patio with seating for 64, perfect for outdoor gatherings or overflow seating. This combination allows for flexible event planning, ensuring your guests have ample space to enjoy both indoor and outdoor settings.

AJ Barn offers two fully equipped suites inside the venue designed to provide utmost convenience for your event preparation. Each suite includes a large mirror, refrigerator, ice bucket, comfortable seating, and electrical outlets, ensuring you have everything needed to get ready comfortably and efficiently on site. These thoughtfully appointed spaces cater to your needs, allowing for a seamless and stress-free experience during your event.

At AJ Barn, our event manager collaborates closely with you in advance to personalize the layout of your event space, ensuring that all tables and chairs are arranged exactly as you envision before you arrive. On the day of your event, our staff actively maintains the venue by cleaning up spills, taking out the trash, and making sure the bathrooms remain fully stocked for your guests’ comfort. While we strive to address any unexpected issues that may arise during your event, we recommend that you also consider hiring an event planner or coordinator to manage more complex logistics and ensure a seamless experience. This combination allows us to provide a well-organized and supportive environment tailored to your needs.

We maintain specific guidelines to ensure the safety and cleanliness of our venue. We do not allow loose glitter, confetti, streamers, rice, or any similar items to be used indoors or outdoors, as these can cause damage and are difficult to clean. Real candles are permitted but must be contained within a votive or vase, since open flames are not allowed anywhere on the property. Additionally, all decorations brought in by guests must be completely removed on the same day of the event. If you choose to use loose flower petals as part of your décor, please ensure they are natural and that they are fully picked up after the event concludes.

We require the use of one of our approved beverage providers for alcohol service, but otherwise, you may bring in any vendors you choose. Food must be provided by a licensed and insured catering company. We require you submit a full list of your vendors for our approval.

We provide caterers with essential kitchen facilities including a refrigerator, freezer, hot holding cabinet, coffee brewer, iced tea brewer, microwave, and ample prep areas. While these amenities support food and beverage storage, preparation, and serving needs, caterers are expected to arrive fully equipped with all other necessary tools and supplies to properly serve their guests. This setup ensures a professional and efficient catering experience tailored to meet event requirements.

Absolutely, we have plenty of space for food trucks. Let us know what you are thinking and we will do our best to work with you to make it happen!

No. You may have alcohol provided through one of our preferred beverage providers. Preferred beverage providers must be chosen from our approved list.

We are able to provide a projector that casts onto one of our walls, along with basic microphones and speakers to support your event needs for an additional fee. Should you require specific audiovisual arrangements, we will discuss your requirements in advance to ensure the setup best suits your event. Additionally, you or your vendors are welcome to bring any extra AV equipment necessary to accommodate your program or presentations. This flexible approach allows us to support a wide range of event types while ensuring the technical setup meets your expectations.

Yes, we do require event insurance for all weddings, evening events, and events with alcohol. The city works with GatherGuard Insurance. Insurance starts at around $100 and is due 90 days before your event. Just click the link to purchase online, or you can go through any insurance company of your choice. Use Venue ID Code: G071032

Yes, AJ Barn welcomes you to include your dog or other well-behaved animals in your outdoor wedding ceremony. We understand that pets are often considered part of the family, and we strive to accommodate them as part of your special day. However, please keep your furry of feather friend on a leash and we ask that they leave the premises after the ceremony.

Many caterers include linens as part of their service package, so it’s a good idea to check with your caterer first to avoid duplicating services. However, if you need linens separately or your caterer does not provide them, AJ Barn can assist by offering a variety of linens for an additional cost. We work closely with our clients to ensure your event’s linens complement the overall décor and meet your specific needs. Please contact us in advance to discuss options and pricing for linen rentals.
