Our Vision
It is our vision to bring boutique style weddings to our quiet Appalachian Hillside, where guests can enjoy the serene countryside and exquisite views our venue has to offer. Forgoing the often impersonal and oversized industrial spaces of banquet halls and conference rooms, our venue is an open indoor and outdoor facility with lush greenery, blending where nature ends and we begin. We want to spark feelings of warmth, intimacy, and romance in a space that is equal parts modern and timeless.
What We Believe
We believe hospitality is the needle and thread that sews our social fabric together and when we entertain, we lay the foundation for the relationships upon which we build our lives.
At Palomino Pastures, we join together to usher in the groundbreaking moments and form the stories that will last a lifetime.
We hope you will join us and raise a glass to your ever after!
Who We Are
A family first and partners second, our venue is formed from one pair of behind the scenes operators and two front facing. Barbie Smith-Snively and Bobby Drinko were the creators and designers for this marvelous space and work quietly making sure that the grounds are pristine and that the vision for Palomino Pastures continues to grow and evolve with every new year.
Married couple Oliver Barnhart & Carolyn Croft are the "face" and will serve as your coordinators. As your point of contact, they will be the pair guiding you and attending to all of your needs. With a collective 25 years in hospitality service, including Forbes 5 Star hotels and other award winning venues, they have a firm grasp on the industry and will be certain to make your big day shine.
