The Clifton Barn

Recently went here for a wedding reception. The place was beautiful great décor but the food was over cooked and horrible. The bartender was very rude and not pleasant. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant!

I helped plan my two friends weddings here, one backed out
Because the owner is an interesting personality to deal with. But he didn’t make it as far as he has by being a pushover. The other one had hers there, the lady that set everything up was less then helpful and rude. I wish I could remember her name, it was lady maybe late 40’s? Anyways. Just make sure everything is the way you want it and be prepared to do extra work to pick up her slack. However the food is great. I think it’s chef Erik? He was wonderful. The ambiance is beautiful. And overall, you will have an incredible experience there.

So where should you go when you have a special event and want great food, a helpful staff and a beautiful and unique setting? The answer is 100% The Clifton Barn. I planned my wedding in about a month and a half and The Clifton Barn pulled it off flawlessly.
Comparatively to other venues, it’s in the middle ground as far as pricing, however they do not charge a facility or staffing fee, (almost) everything is built in, so that’s definitely a bonus. \
We had our wedding in late November, but a spring/​summer/​fall wedding can be held outdoors on their beautiful patio with a really cool fire pit. (we had our ceremony inside in front of the fire place and it was great)
They have a really cool lounge loft that we did our first looks in and those pictures were my favorites.
We had 60 for dinner, I’m sure you could go higher, but it was a very comfortable number for us especially since using the patio as part of the space wasn’t really an option. The dinner was awesome, it is owned by the same owner as Strip next door, and I highly recommend the steak. It’s also nice because Old Avon Village has two restaurants for rehearsal dinners and lots of parking and photography options.
