The Barn at Shady Grove was the perfect place for my wedding. Shannon and Ken worked with us greatly on a date and price that worked for us. The amenities they offered greatly influenced our decision. Ken is an AMAZING DJ. He kept all of our guests entertained while we were taking pictures. Shannon was great at helping us coordinate things the day of. All around, they were the absolute best people to be working with for our wedding day! I can't appreciate them enough! The wedding venue was beautiful, they have so many vendors that they work with that have awesome prices as well. 10/10 recommend.
