The Barn At Shady Lane
Website
Known as "Birmingham's Premiere Country Venue in the City, " The Barn at Shady Lane is perfectly nested on eight acres next to the pastoral Robert Trent Oxmoor Valley Golf Course and just one mile from the Marriott Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. Illuminated by an 8' tall iron and crystal chandelier, this spacious venue is also fully air-conditioned, has a gorgeous Bride's Loft and a very cool Groom's Cottage for the guys.

It is this thoughtful design and attention to detail that makes The Barn at Shady Lane the ideal place to begin your happily ever after.

They took care of everything on the day of the wedding and we didn't have to worry about clean up or set up which was a huge relief.

The Barn is such a great venue! All our guests loved it and complimented on how beautiful it was. Linda and Michael were super easy to work with. They gave us lots of references and really helped make our day special! Would highly recommend!

Barn at Shady Lane was the perfect place to host our wedding. We wanted a centralized location in the Birmingham area and an accessible venue for our guests. The space was beautiful inside and out and it allowed for a seamless transition from our outdoor ceremony to the reception inside the barn. All of our vendors, including the band and the bar service, had plenty of room, and the Barn at Shady Lane staff were eager to help out with anything we needed. We also love the new outdoor space and new color for the interior of the barn!

We could go on and on about how incredible and beautiful The Barn at Shady Lane is!! Both their outdoor and indoor ceremony options were built with weddings in mind, and offer a wonderful weather plan for peace of mind. Their new back patio extension was everyone's favorite. Linda and Michael were flexible and patient with us throughout the uncertainties of the COVID season, and were professional to work with. Every detail of their venue was carefully thought out from the bridal loft, to the groom's house, the details of the barn, and on-site parking. We are so thankful that we were able to have

Unbeknownst to me at the time, many people in my wedding party were mistreated by staff the day of the event. My wife was given orders on the morning of her wedding, the woman doing her make up was not even allowed to enter the barn upon her arrival, a friend that was assisting with reception was given no warning as staff opened the hall back up before she had finished decorating the tables, and our day-of coordinator and mother of the bride were consistently talked down to. One of my wife's biggest requests (to have family pictures made in front of the cross) was not honored, and many changes
