I highly recommend having your event at the Firefly Event Barn, especially your wedding. Lindsey was EXTREMELY helpful and answered me in seconds. She also is very personable. I got migraines from over stressing and she gave me an oil to help. And honestly there was nothing to stress about because everything went so smoothly. It snowed on our wedding day and they still made it happen and it was a fairytale. I highly recommend having your event here!
