Why All-Inclusive? Let Us Explain....

Wedding season is in full swing and we are so excited.  Our bodies are not quite back into the swing of all the heavy-lifting, long hours and late nights, but they will quickly re-adapt.  2014 will be our first full wedding season.  We were only opened for half of the season last year and were thrilled to host over 17 weddings/events on the property.  This year we will host a staggering 32+ weddings at The Barn!  That's a lot of CAKE!!

Most of you know this, but we are an all-inclusive venue.  We are pretty flexible when it comes to what we CAN do for our brides, there is one thing however that we will NOT budge on....being all-inclusive.

Part of what makes The Barn "The Barn" is the fact that we make planning your wedding easy, stress-free and an enjoyable experience.  Each of our brides get to choose her own stylings, colors, flowers, decor, etc.   Our staff handles all the details in making it a reality.  Plus, we are trained to handle all the "little things" that may come up on the day-of the event or anytime in between.  Think of it like this...getting to the bottom of your wedding board on Pinterest and then pressing a "SUBMIT" button.  Yeah, it's kinda like that, but better....because it's your wedding, not someone else's!

With over 15 years collectively of event/wedding experience, The Barn's planning & design team is ready, and eager to help our brides plan the wedding of their dreams!  
Hearing the mothers of our brides talk about how relaxed & stress-free they are on the day of the wedding, is music to our ears.  Or when a stressed out bride calls me and says, "HELP, I'm so stressed because I have nothing to do!" - Yes, that really happened!!

The day of your wedding is your day to be pampered, relax and spend some of the greatest moments of your life with your family, not setting up, sweating, stressing and panicking over last minute mishaps.  Leave those worries to the pros! 

So in other words.... KEEP CALM & MARRY ON, YA'LL!

And the Winner is.....


BOOTS! BOOTS!  BOOTS!

There's just something about a new pair of boots.  Its the smell the minute you take them out of the box.  You stick your nose into the boot and just sniff away!  I love it!  

My favorite candle is actually Tyler Candle Company's "COWBOY" candle, because it smells like a new pair of boots!  
Some may call me a boot junkie!
I get my fix on new pair of tooled leather kicks.



My closet is intermingled with Corrals, Old Gringos, Laredos and Lamas, just to name a few.  I plan my wardrobe for the day by first determining which pair of boots I will wear.  Yes, I even have rain boots!  

But one thing that really chaps my hide is all of these "We're giving away a pair of boots" posts I see on facebook.  Day in, and day out, there's a new pair, a new post.  Some are even a $500+ pair, mind you.  But honestly, does anyone ever REALLY win those boots?  Do they ever REALLY announce the winner?  Do we see a photo of that winner putting those leather lovlies on their pretty little feet?  No....No we don't.  And we're putting our foot BOOT down!


(So...I did this)

I decided that we, THE BARN, were going to do a bonafide, real-deal, boot giveaway.  Not a no-name pair, not a faux-leather wanna be pair, but a genuine, tried & true pair of Tony Llamas!  These bad boys are handmade leather boots with a leather sole.  They can be worn with absolutely anything.  Can be dressed up, or dressed down.  
Dresses or shorts, they look good with it all.






So enough kicking the dirt, let's get down to brass tacks....
We put all of the SHARES in hat and picked one sweet little ole name.  Then....we made sure that person also was a FAN of our page.  And when the crieteria were met, we are so proud to announce the winner of our Fabulous Boot Giveaway.....

She's cuter than a little red wagon of speckled pups......

Aww...aren't they cute!
here name is.....   

but wait.......before you go huffing off, changing your browser window, know this:  We will do this again!  I LOVE BOOTS and I want to share the love!  So pretty please keep up with The Barn.  We love our fans and want you to know that we REALLY do giveaway boots :)

Don't cry if you don't win!  We will do it again....and again....and again.

Ok, without further ado.....
The winner is Rachel Morgan Vandevender!
Rachel.....message us on Facebook with your SIZE purdy please and we'll HOOK A GIRL UP!

Love ya'll,
XOXO-
