Michael Wedding Barn The of Anniston

Michael Wedding Barn The of Anniston is an event planner and wedding venue in Anniston, Alabama. The family-owned venue hosts weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, weekend cabin getaways and retreats, and offers Clydesdale-drawn carriage rides for brides arriving past the lake. It holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The property sits on 100 acres and includes two event barns, a four-bedroom guest house, and four cabins in the woods. The Michael barn, added in 2017, is named in memory of the owner's brother and is built with vaulted wood ceilings, natural trusses and large crystal chandeliers. The original barn, known as The Rock Barn, has a two-bedroom loft and veranda, and the owners added a rock fireplace and chandeliers for a rustic look. Dave built the barn by hand after the Clydesdales arrived at the ranch. Brides often stay in the loft, turning a wedding day into a full weekend, while grooms and groomsmen stay in the cabins and use the barn's Tack Room before the ceremony. The owners, Dave and Val, have been married 31 years, have four children and five grandchildren, and keep Clydesdale horses, cows, dogs, a pet pig named Gertie and a duck named Sweat Pea.

The venue is located at 10461 Choccolocco Rd, about 0.8 miles from Harper Lake and roughly a mile from Robertson Field, White Plains High School and Morgan Mountain. Choccolocco State Forest is about 1.3 miles away and White Plains Elementary School about 1.5 miles.

The positive rating reflects how customers regard the venue, with brides and guests describing weddings there as dreamlike and the setting as suited to nearly any special occasion.
