God awful communication. Doesn’t matter how many times you reach out, you NEVER hear back from them. Sad. Woulda loved to have spent my money here as I was stuck on it for a wedding venue for MONTHS.

Speaking on behalf of my fiance and I- we toured the place a few months ago in hopes it would be the place for our wedding. We had no idea where to park and it was very confusing. There was construction happening (giant boulders laying all around outside and construction vehicles around). When we walked into the barn we had a scheduled tour and nobody met us or greeted us. The daughter had to go get the mom to give us our tour. She walked up, makeup on from the night before and in sweat pants and a sweat shirt. We felt like a bother more then anything and we're uncomfortable from the start. The

We recently attended a wedding there. We arrived after dark. The entrance was Not lit. There were no lights in the parking area. In fact we couldn’t find the parking area. Many other guests drove miles down the the road past the place and resulted to looking at fire numbers just to find the place. Not impressed with the exterior. The food was good. The service was good. The wedding was awesome. The reason for only two stars was the terrible parking and entrance.

Brides and Grooms, beware! I am sad, but feel a responsibility to couples to alert them that though the Swan Barn Door is a lovely spot for a wedding; the owner, Kari, is difficult to work with. From the first appointment with my niece, when the unprepared owner asked who we were, which made us feel that we had come on the wrong date, to the final hour of the wedding; she was unhelpful, intolerant, unorganized and occasionally rude. Though this wedding site, along with the on-site catering service, has been open for seven years; the front entrance is still blocked by large boulder rocks, requiring

Swan Barn Door is an absolutely stunning venue for weddings! I've attended quite a few here and all I can say is WOW. The attention to detail and the rustic-chic charm of the area is breathtaking. I've also heard amazing things about the owners and how great they are to work with!

Brides Beware! Though this is a lovely and magical venue, it is still not completed after being open for more than five years. The inside is rustic and well crafted. The bridal suite in the basement is lovely, but does not access the barn without going outside completely in view of the guests. The main entrance is completely blocked with large bolder rocks. Guests enter up a long deck ramp or through a back entrance.

Unfortunately, the owner/manager is difficult, unhelpful, apathetic and rude. As a wedding designer/coordinator for almost twenty years, I have never been treated so badly that

Oh the Swan Barn Door, where do I begin. Needless to say, it’s an absolutely beautiful venue. I fell in love with this place the minute I saw the pictures. I forced my fiancé to let me tour it as soon as possible because their dates were booking up fast. My excitement was quickly crushed once we arrived for our tour and were met with the completely unenthusiastic owner, Kari. It was extremely awkward and we felt like there must’ve been some kind of explanation. (Like something horrible had just happened or something) It was pretty much a self guided tour. She had no information to offer us

They owe my husband and I money for wages and a place we paid a deposit on that we were told we couldn't have if we couldn't work. They keep deposits from many weddings for one reason or another. After working for them I can honestly say if you want food service done in a sanitary way... this ISNT the place for you! Food sitting out all day sometimes a few days! No hand washing stations for employees, cats on counters, they serve left over food from one wedding to another, plus the owners live in the basement of the barn! If you tour the place, ask to see the kitchen outside on the deck, plus the

The indoor trees that are in the room are actually like trees so it's easily to trip over the trunk because they match the floor. I would suggest to just cut them down like a telephone pole and not have those because people were tripping over them and people couldn't get their walkers by it was just kind of not good. I was not happy when I found out at the bar if you wanted a can of soda you couldn't get one they would only give you plastic cups with ice in them and then fill your cup up with pop I didn't see that to be necessary being that I'd prefer to have a can so I got smart and went up and

Our neices wedding was at The Swan Barn door, what a lovely surprise in the Dells, so sweetly & naturally tucked away , this is a stunning & thoughtfully designed venue, nature inspired, with beautiful creative touches inside & out. Staff & food were stellar, as well. I highly recommend everyone check it out, for any celebrations. FYI, these photos do not do justice, to its beauty & size❣

Absolutely stunning - we had our wedding here and the entire venue felt ethereal with the outdoor wooded ceremony and beautiful interior of the barn. Tara Draper was our photographer and captured the day perfectly

I was apart of the bridal party who had a wedding here this past weekend. This barn was GORGEOUS! Every detail from the bathroom doors to the outside ceremony area was thought out and executed beautifully! The staff was very helpful during setup, the actual wedding and during clean up. I will continue to suggest The Swan Barn Door to anyone who is looking at having their wedding in the Dells.

Amazing! I attended a recent event at the Swan Barn Door, such a beautiful rustic venue. I was impressed by the detailed gorgeous craftsmanship of the building. The owners were so receptive and I heard so many positive comments. I love this place!

Your go-to venue for a terrible wedding experience.

I ventured out to Wisconsin Dells for what was to me a destination wedding on August 6th this year and was blown away by the lack of empathy and complete apathy shown by The Swan Barn Door's management and customer service. The grounds were not even half finished and the structure was clearly only a third finished and yet Swan Barn Door did little to rectify the situation (considering they promised construction completion well before the wedding date) and offered their customers no real concessions.

Sure, the wedding was still a fond
