Kylan Barn — Attraction in Delmar

Kylan Barn is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful place to get married. I fell in love with the woods ceremony site and the barn fit my husband and I perfectly. Our wedding took place in October of 2024. The day, weather, and event were perfect! However, the planning of my wedding was a completely different story. We do not live in the Delmar area so we hired Sam, the coordinator, for full service, which started once our contract was signed. I now know this to be a complete waste of money, waste of time, and the cause of a lot of unnecessary stress. My husband and I traveled to Delmar twice, and my husband alone once, after signing the contract. Sam planned our schedule both times we went down together to get in all of the wedding needs that we had, and managed to mess up the schedules both times. We were given inaccurate meeting times with our vendors, incomplete information regarding where we are meeting, and she canceled an accommodations viewing (which we wanted to see) without telling us. When we contacted her, she rudely informed us that she was busy. Sam presented herself as a florist to us and charged florist prices, after hiring her, we found out that she wasn't actually a florist, just something she did on the side. My bouquet, while lovely, was so heavy that by the end of my short ceremony my arms and shoulders hurt. My archway, while also lovely, was not as colorful as I had requested multiple times and Sam reassured me it would be. However, when seeing these things the day of, there is little that can be done. These are just a couple of the issues that we experienced. We also had communication issues; including extreme delays in responses to simple questions. The part that sent me over the edge was Sam telling lies about my husband and I to our vendors, making a mistake with our headcount (costing me more than $700 extra), and not taking any responsibility for her mistake. Sam contacted us with what she believed was the final headcount, we are not totally sure where she got the number from, however, the headcount was off by 10 people. We responded to her email within less than 2 hours correcting the headcount. Sam contacted the caterer days later and provided them with the wrong headcount. Sam later reported to the caterer that my husband and I had requested the headcount change after the deadline had past. When we confronted Sam and asked how she was going to account for her mistake, again she provided us with vague answers. She eventually made her coworkers, who were all very lovely and helpful, cover some of the lost money, but I was still out almost $300 because of her mistake. When we continued to push and asked how she is going to make that cost up, she eventually threaten to cancel our event. With that, we had no choice but to overnight her the last payment, costing us even more extra money, so that she wouldn't cancel the event we spent over a year planning. By the time all was said and done, Sam had cost us more than $300 extra due to her mistake, delays, and unwillingness to correct her mistake, and an immeasurable amount of unnecessary stress. Dealing with Sam during the planning process was so difficult, stressful, and irritating that on the day of, I had to have other people be the go between for her and I because I was so worried that she would cause even more stress. To sum it all up, I would highly recommend Kylan Barn for a wedding venue. If barns are your thing, you will absolutely not be disappointed. However, I STRONGLY recommend that you save your money and not hired Sam. I did not list all of the crazy that went on, believe it or not there was more, but I think this is enough to demonstrate Sam's lack of professionalism, experience, and respect for the couples she works with. And before someone attempts to say that I am lying or exaggerating, I actually have it all in writing via email and text, including emails from my vendor with the lies that Sam told about my husband and I. Best of luck to all couples planning their wedding, I hope this honest review...

We got married at Kylan last week on 9/27/24 and I’ll start out by saying the venue is beautiful and the woods ceremony is very unique. We did enjoy our night.

With that said, I highly recommend AVOIDING THEIR COORDINATION SERVICE. We paid for month of coordination. It is expensive and quite frankly they did a terrible job as far as wedding day goes(their coordination ahead of time with setup/vendors was fine. They use the same vendors all the time so that was not an issue). The manager, Sam, was very rude with anyone she interacted with. Family and guests all had complaints after coming to her with any questions.

We were encouraged not to have a rehearsal the day before. Assured we would not need it and that someone would run through everything with us the day of. Well, this did not happen. On the day of, we specifically asked Sam on two different occasions if we could run through the ceremony with the wedding so everyone knew when they were walking, where to, etc. she again assured me “it’s fine you paid for coordination, someone will direct you.” Needless to say, no one knew what they were doing in the ceremony and the staff back at the ceremony didn’t know either. Not to mention everything was running behind and it was starting to rain, so I took it upon myself to lineup everyone and tell them how they were entering etc. Then after the wedding party started walking down, they let guests walk in between the wedding party. So we have some beautiful pictures of guest going down the aisle behind the flower girl and ring bearer. It just seemed like no one there had any idea what they were doing all day.

A few other concerns. They had no one direct guests or tell them the ceremony was in the woods. They had no one dismiss guests and lead them to cocktail hour. So again, after I walked out of the ceremony and was trying to take pictures, I had to go direct the guests to cocktail hour. I had specifically asked Sam earlier in the day about having a person welcome/direct guests and she replied “oh I don’t do that. I don’t go to the ceremony site.” If you are our coordinator why aren’t you thinking about this stuff? Also, they forgot to charge the golf cart which is used to go around the property for pictures after first look and to transport guests to the ceremony site. So after first look, we were told we only had 15 mins of use of the golf cart for pictures because they needed to charge it prior to guests arriving.

Last few things, we had a lot of cake leftover. I guess they threw it out without asking because I have no idea where the cake went. When a brother of mine went to the venue the morning after to pick up some coolers, Sam was very rude and would not allow him to even look anywhere on the property to see if anyone left anything. She did not allow him any access and said her staff would have taken care of it. I know for a fact there were a few things left, I guess they were thrown out. I don’t see why it would be such a problem for him to double check early the morning after. Another little annoyance, contract is for venue rental for 12 hrs. Our reception ended at 10pm, but were told we could not enter the airstream until 1pm that day. Not a big deal but still we should have had access earlier.

I hate writing a negative review but I feel it’s justified. The Last thing you need on wedding day is to be stressed about little things listed above. So venue is great, but avoid the coordination. Also I should add that one of the staff Caroline was great and I felt a little bad for her cuz it seemed like she was thrown into...

We had an absolutely amazing evening at the Kylan Barn for my son’s wedding. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how stunning the entire property is. The setting is naturally beautiful—lush, peaceful, and rustic in the best way. The ceremony was held outside beneath the trees, creating a romantic, picture-perfect backdrop. You could feel the love in the air, surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed landscaping that made everything feel intimate and serene.

The barn itself is incredible—rustic charm meets elegance. It’s spacious, yet cozy, and when it’s all dressed up with lights, floral arrangements, and decorations, it transforms into a magical space for a celebration. Every detail of the venue was clearly designed with events like this in mind. It had everything we needed right on-site, which made the entire day flow perfectly from one moment to the next—no stress, no rushing, just a seamless experience.

One of the standout features was the bridal suite, which was beautifully decorated and gave the bride a private, relaxing space to get ready with her bridesmaids. On the other side, the groom and groomsmen had their own unique spot—a renovated Airstream trailer. It was such a fun and stylish touch, and the guys absolutely loved it. It gave them a cool space to relax, laugh, and bond before the ceremony—exactly what you want with your best friends before a big moment.

The staff at Kylan Barn deserves a huge thank you. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of our special day. They weren’t just doing a job—they felt like part of the family, blending in seamlessly and offering help whenever needed without ever being intrusive. That kind of presence makes a huge difference.

The bar service was also top-notch. The bartenders were personable, quick, and kept the drinks flowing all night. Not only did they pour strong drinks (which everyone appreciated!), but there was almost never a line. They were efficient and kept the energy up without ever missing a beat.

And the DJ—wow. DJ Veritas (Andy Kenny) was truly one of the best I’ve ever seen at a wedding. He had an incredible sense for the crowd, played a perfect mix of music that kept guests of all ages on the dance floor, and came equipped with his own professional-grade light show that elevated the entire vibe. He brought high energy, great timing, and created a party atmosphere that everyone will remember. The dance floor was full all night long—no one wanted the night to end.

Kylan Barn was the perfect venue for a smaller, intimate wedding that still felt grand and memorable. It combined rustic charm, modern convenience, and exceptional service in a way that’s hard to find. I cannot recommend this venue enough—it exceeded every expectation and gave our family a night we’ll...
