Wedding FAQs
If you are interested in hosting a wedding with us, or have questions regarding the wedding process at The Barn, please be sure to first read through the "weddings" page, or our brochure linked below! These pages will have the foundational information for all things weddings. For supplemental information, or other questions not yet answered, please feel free to read our FAQs below!
How much are Taxes & Fees?
We do not charge any taxes, fees, or gratuities on the venue rental rates. The only additional costs will be the refundable deposit (returned to you after your event), or if you choose to pay for your deposit or rental with a credit card. Credit card processing fees can be avoided, however, through ACH, cash or check payments.
moreWhat is your Cancellation Policy?
Renters may cancel the scheduled event in writing or by email 180 days prior to the event date and forfeit ½ of what was paid for the damage/security deposit.
Cancellations less than 180 days, but more than 150 days will forfeit the full amount paid for the damage/security deposit, with any additional monies paid to be refunded.
Cancellations less than 150 days, but more than 120 days will forfeit the full amount paid for the damage/security deposit and ½ of Rental Fee, with any additional monies paid to be refunded.
Cancellations less than 120 days will forfeit all...
moreDo you offer soft holds?
We do not offer soft holds for weddings dates. All dates are first come, first serve and are reservable with an $800 security deposit.
moreHow does the deposit refund work? When do I get that back?
Security deposits will be returned to you within 30 days of your events via the same payment method used to submit the payment (with the exception of cash deposits, which will receive a mailed check).
For deposits made via ACH payment, cash, or check, the full $800 is eligible for return, barring any damages to The Barn during your event. Deposits made via credit card are only guaranteed up to $750 to cover processing fees.
moreDo you have a Plan B option if weather is bad?
Yes! We are always happy to accommodate indoors for ceremony and reception if weather does not go to plan. The main level of The Barn is a beautiful option for an indoor ceremony
moreDo you have lines, arches, decor, tableware... that we can use?
No, we do not have any decor items, or any items for the table. We will set up the tables and chairs for you, but it is your responsibility to set up and decorate all tables, ceremony site, etc., once your time block begins.
moreWhat is the Maximum Capacity?
While The Barn can technically hold up to 250, we highly recommend numbers under 200.
The Barn is made up of three levels - The main floor, a loft that over looks the main floor, and a lower level walkout basement below. The main floor has a capacity of 150, and the loft 50. Anything above those numbers would need to be seated in the lower level of The Barn, which is quite a bit separated from the main spaces. If you are comfortable with more separated spaces, you are welcome to host up to 250 guests.
moreDoes the Barn have AC? Heat?
The Barn does not have air conditioning, however thankfully, we stay fairly cool here in the mountains. Most days do not get quite hot enough to require cooling, and on extra warm days, there are lots of doors and windows to open allowing for plenty of cool air to come through.
We do have heating for our colder days.
moreCan we do a winter wedding?
Absolutely! The Barn looks beautiful in the snow, and stays nice and toasty under the heaters inside.
moreIs the Barn Coordinator the same as a Day of Coordinator?
The Barn Staff Member that will be on site on your wedding day is NOT a Day of Coordinator. They will not be responsible for decorating, keeping timelines, or other planning responsibilities. If you are looking for someone to assist with those items, we highly recommend hiring a separate Day of Coordinator or wedding planner.
moreDo I have to have a Day of Coordinator or Planner?
No, we do not require a Day of Coordinator or Planner. If you do wish to have one, please see our preferred vendor list for our favorites!
moreDo I have to hire a full service catering team?
No, you are welcome to have food trucks, drop off catering, or Aunt Sally's famous family Lasagna!
If you will not be hiring a full service catering team, however, you will need to hire service staffing and bartenders to staff the event and serve alcohol.
moreCan we hire your staff as our service staff?
Unfortunately, we do not have the staffing available to hire as your service staff. This will need to be hired from a catering company, or a bartending/event staffing company.
moreWhere should guests stay in the area?
Evergreen offers many smaller Inns, Bed & Breakfasts, and Cabin style lodging. There are also MANY AirBnBs, and VRBOs.
For traditional hotel blocks that will accommodate higher guest counts, the Comfort Suites in Evergreen will be the closest option. Otherwise, we recommend choosing a hotel near the I70 corridor of Golden, or the Littleton/Ken Caryl area off of 285. Either of these options are typically no more than 25-30 min away!
moreDo I need to book transportation for my guests?
We do not require you have a shuttle service for your guests, however we do encourage it. If you will not be utilizing a shuttle service, please note Ubers, Lyfts and Taxis are unfortunately not available in our area. We highly recommend informing your guests of such, and allowing them to plan for alternative options for transportation at the end of your event if necessary.
moreIs there a kitchen on site?
No, we do not have a full kitchen available to use. We do have a "prep area" where catering can set up tables to stage or prepare meals, as well as one standard size refrigerator, and a microwave.
moreDo you have an In-House Sound System?
We do have an in-house sound system with a cordless mic, with speakers throughout the interior of The Barn.
We recommend using our system for celebrations of life, dinner parties, or cocktail hours, as it it great for background music. The speakers have a preset volume that does not get quite loud enough for dancing, however. For weddings, proms, or other events where people will be on the dance floor, we highly recommend a DJ or band be brought in with their own system.
