Patrick & Molly started their "Happily Ever After" with us on August 23rd. This from her Dad:
My wife Cathy and I have owned an event business as well as a small farm in Meredith, NY. We have been in business for over 40 years and have had the pleasure of working with an assortment of professionals who were a pleasure to work with and some not.
ONCE UPON A TIME being a rustic location was chosen by our daughter and her husband. We were a bit concerned at first, but Steve quickly put us at rest. The venue is definitely in a beautiful setting, but more important, is the professionalism and courtesy of Steve that overwhelmed us. Not only was his staff extremely pleasant and professional, but the extent of Steves manner to make us feel loved, yes loved was uncanny. His concern that Cathy, mother of the bride and owner of Sviba Decorators was fed properly and taken care of went far and beyond. Obviously we decorated our daughters wedding which meant we were all non-stop working and again, Steve was always there by his own decision to be kind, make sure we ate knowing our diet restrictions…. I can go on and on.
In short, we, the professionals that helped us do the wedding all praise Steve, his crew with high praise. A beautiful and fun rustic location along with this type of professionalism is truly a blessing…..with that being said a wonderful location to have a wedding!
Sincerely,
Cathy and Barry

Where do we begin?! In an effort to give you folks the most comprehensive review we will keep it simple! Who, What, Where, When…

Who: By this stage of life I have attended some 50-100 weddings, I’ve participated in dozens and even officiated once. I’ve been to venues from Long Island to Las Vegas, and Once Upon a Barn was uniquely one of the best! The owner, host and head chef himself, Steve, was unbelievable! I would describe him as ‘salt of the earth’! A kind, gentle and generous soul. He takes pride in his establishment, his people, and his work. A man who loves and lives the dream he and his wife created years prior. Steve was easy to work with, easy to talk to, and most importantly a man of his word. He delivered a spectacular wedding the way he promised...

What: So we contracted Once Upon a Time Barn to host our wedding. The original venue we had planned fell through with only about 2 months before the big day. We contacted Steve, he penciled us in and invited us out. We chose a ‘One Day’, ‘Premium Wedding Package’. We had 60-70 guests… And it was perfect. I know the website says they can accommodate up to 165 guests and I’m sure they are right; however this was the perfect venue with plenty of space to dance for the 60-70 we had in attendance. The price set in the contract was exactly what was billed, and everything was delivered just as Steve said. We were able to come to the venue the night before to decorate and Steve provided us with a chicken parm dinner- he opened the bar for us and the rehearsal dinner was great! He never made us feel unwelcomed or pressed for time, he even helped us set up the tables. When it came time for the reception the food was outstanding to the point that many guests had contacted us well after the wedding and commented about the quality and quantity of the food from Hors oeuvres to the main course and desert!! We chose to purchase the buffet style package. Steve catered to all of our needs with slight changes to the menu from simple ingredients to full swaps of food. His communications throughout the entire work up with awesome!

Where: Once Upon a Barn, is a rustic establishment set back deep in the woods about 15-20 minutes outside of Schroon Lake. It offers some beautiful views for pictures. More importantly it offers all the creature comforts one would expect when hosting a wedding. The venue was impeccably clean. The kitchen was spotless. The dressing room for the bride and groom were perfectly suited. The bar room was classy with good mid-shelf offerings and fashionable décor- very comfortable! The bathrooms (while limited to two) were very clean, functioning, and stocked with toiletries. The staff were primarily young, but what they lacked in experience they made up for in their kindness, care and professionalism. They treated all our guests with respect.

When: We were married this past June, we were blessed with beautiful weather, and we were able to partake in the beautiful garden outside; however there was so much covered space that had it rained we would have been just fine. Steve potted some flowers from his green house, and they were eloquently decorating the property. It was perfect for late spring, early summer- and I can’t imagine how beautiful it would be in the fall.

In closing the barn and property is beautiful, as the old colloquialism goes “you pay for what you get”, and Once Upon a Barn made our dream wedding a reality. The food was impeccable, (the kind you would write home about) and host was exceptional. I would recommend this place to any couple looking for a venue.

Cannot rave about this hidden gem enough, Highly Recommend!
Thank you Steve for making our wedding dreams come true!
Love Joe & Keli
