Cancellations
In the event of a cancellation, we will refund the security deposit.
Time in/Time out
Events can be scheduled Fridays through Sundays; between the hours of 10:00 AM-11:00 PM.
Weather Conditions
Last minute cancellations due to weather will not be considered for refunds. However, we do understand some things can happen out of our control, such as emergencies, catastrophes or interruption of utilities. We have a generator on site for power outages. For any other emergency/catastrophic event that prevents your event from taking place as scheduled, we will allow you to reschedule your event without penalty. Rescheduled events will be made pending availability.
Lost items
We will make every attempt to return any lost or forgotten items to their owner after an event but we are not responsible for shipping costs to return them. Any decorating items left behind 24 hours after the end of the event become property of the Barnes family and a disposal fee may be deducted from the deposit.
Clean-up
We expect the barn and its grounds to be returned to the condition they were in before your event. We will be responsible for emptying the garbage bins but the area should be free of trash and decorations by the next day. The tables and chairs, should be stacked as you found them. Your caterer is also expected to leave the food area in the shape they found it. The same applies to band/DJ areas. Neglected clean-up will result in use of your security deposit.
Services
Although we can provide a list of services that may be of use to you, we are not contracted with any group nor are we responsible for the quality or timeliness of their services. Any vendor must leave their area as it was found.
Safety
Smoking inside the barn is not permitted. If smoking outside the barn, please dispose your waste. Cigarette butts on the property will be your responsibility to clean up.
Courtesy
The Barnes family reserves the right to request the removal of any person or group of people from the property for unruly behavior, illegal activity or anything that violates any of these regulations. Assistance of law enforcement may be called if the request isn’t met immediately.
Liability
The guests cannot hold the Barnes family liable for suit, actions, damages and expenses for personal injury, illness, property damage or theft while they are on the property due to any cause whatsoever. The barn is not locked during the times of rental and the Barnes family is not responsible for personal articles left unattended in any part of the property before, during or after an event.
