We were married at the FireFly Event Barn October 2022. When we were looking at our options and visited the barn, I was absolutely blown away! Not only by the beauty of the barn but how we felt like we had known Lindsey forever. She made us feel like we were family and we knew this was the place! Leading up to the event she was so easy to work with, always responding right away, letting vendors come and see the venue and ask questions before our big day, always so positive and uplifting making us so much more excited for our day to come. During set up she took the time to get to know who was who and helped us any way we needed! On the day she helped us make sure everything went smoothly and flawless! We still get compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how Lindsey and her staff made everyone feel so welcome!
