The Barn on Bridge — Attraction in Perkiomen Township

We got married 12/12/24 at the Barn, after signing our contract in August 2023. We had been working with an event manager whom we really liked (and sold us on the venue) only to get an email a few months later stating he was “no longer with the company” and we would be re-assigned another manager. We spent nearly a year coordinating with this manager on every single detail; by wedding day we had an email thread with 40+ emails, along with various phone calls and our final meeting, which was in person. We were not aware until 6 months before the wedding that the “day of coordinator (DOC)” wouldn’t be assigned until TWO WEEKS before the wedding and this would be the person who would coordinate everything the day of. We also did not know the event manager would not even be present at the actual wedding, despite having planned with him directly for the past 12 months…DOC referred to my wedding party as “bridesmaids” even though I explicitly stated on the various ceremony/reception sheets I had to complete for BOB (and went over in person, in detail…) that I had a male in my wedding party. Unfortunately, the mis-gendering continued through the wedding day, despite me correcting and simply saying “my party” or “my people”. Something to be aware of if you have LGBTQIA members in your wedding party, as properly naming and utilizing appropriate pronouns was clearly not something the Barn seemed to prioritize. We paid for extra time and got onsite around 1240 day of. I had several items I needed to give to the DOC to give to other vendors. However, she was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I had my bridal party looking for her, my parents, even our videography went looking for her. I did not have contact with the DOC until after my first look, at least 1.5 hours after arriving and only about 1.5 hours until wedding time. Our ceremony started late because the DOC said there were only X amount of people in the barn, we decided to delay for 5-10 minutes as we didn't want interruptions…when the DOC came back she said she “forgot” to include the wedding party in the count so likely only a few people were missing for the start, and we started late for no reason. After the ceremony the DOC came up to me saying we had “run over” and needed to cut something short….I get to cocktail hour and IMMEDIATELY notice no one put out the bar signs or guestbook signs I made. I was specifically told I need not worry about these things, AND the Barn requires an “accessory list” that lists out and describes all items you are bringing that need set out. I spent quite some time detailing and outlining my items on this list, only to not have it followed. My MOH and husband both went to find the DOC and ask where the signs where, her reply was “what signs? No one told me about any signs”...When it was time to head from the cocktail hour in the tent to the barn for dinner, again, no DOC to be found to help let people know, so myself and my bridal party had to tell our guests to move upstairs, putting us even further behind dinner schedule. Mains did not come out until 8pm (scheduled for 7), which also threw off the timeline with the photographer/videographer as they were done at 8pm. We paid extra for 50% of guests to upgrade their entree to a filet, although the meat that was served was definitely not a filet…more like 2 medallion cuts. The insides were chewy and multiple guests commented their meat was rare. The apps were much better than dinner. The final cherry on top is that because we were so far behind schedule, we didnt cut our cake until after 9pm and it wasn’t served until 915pm. My parents specifically said their table was being cleared of all decor & drinks around 930pm, WHILE THEY WERE STILL EATING CAKE. Even though we had (and paid for) the venue until 10pm, guests are still VISIBLY eating, the staff was ready to get everything cleared and packed up. So much more to say that won't fit in this review...happy to speak more and save someone else...

We extended the ceremony time (worth every penny!) and included a prophetic act of foot washing, symbolizing our commitment to serving one another as husband and wife, with warm water thoughtfully provided by the team. They also helped us include communion cups at each table to honor Shabbat as the Sabbath began. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the day seamless and joyful for everyone. The food was a huge hit—guests said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. Barn on Bridge is truly remarkable!her as husband and wife, with warm water thoughtfully provided by the team.

Do Not Book at this Venue. The lack of communication & professionalism is very disappointing. We visited in July 2020 and my son & his fiancé booked for a October 2021 wedding. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control the bride's dad lost his job and it was clear they would not be able to have their wedding here. Immediately the bride contacted Leigh at Barn on Bridge to explain what happened and she requested a refund of the initial deposit. After several calls & emails they refused to give her a refund. She then attempted to reach out to the owner to discuss what happened and again her calls & emails were ignored. She then request to have half of the deposit refunded and AGAIN was refused. Now keep in mind at this point they had done NOTHING for this wedding other than put their name on the calendar (which btw we were having a Sunday wedding which is not a common day). I understand that over the last year businesses have taken a hard hit however this has been difficult for everyone and that lack of compassion and empathy for others going thru the same hard hits is sad. It is clear to me that this venue is only concerned with making a profit and the unprofessional communication is really unacceptable. I too work in a customer service based business and really in these trying times helping people is a great way to improve your business. Clearly Barn on Bridge is not a business that cares...
