Est. in 2016
Kyle + Kait own and operate Barn + Bliss Weddings & Events with pride, passionand dedication. The couple’s shared love of the outdoors and countryside initially gave them the idea to restore a barn for their own wedding and since then, they have completely restored and renovated a second barn that has quickly established a reputation as the “venue of choice”.
The couple first met in high school and became best friends but only began dating in 2014 when their life's paths crossed once again. In 2016, they brought their beautiful daughter into the world and their lives were forever changed. The couple wanted to build a family business and legacy for their daughter and future children. A tragedy caused the couple to abandon their first restored barn (where they were married) however, the pair quickly found a second property with an ideal barn to restore.
In 2019, the property at 150 Eugene Road was acquired and the restoration began shortly thereafter. In the midst of their massive undertaking, the family grew larger with the birth of their second daughter in 2019. It became clearer than ever that the venue would become a place where fun and life lessons would be had for their daughters.2019 and the blurry years that followed brought the family many obstacles (like so many others) and business was not permitted.
Kyle + Kait continued to make improvements on the barn and in 2021, the doors were finally officially open for business!Since 2021, the Carneiro's have hosted many weddings, community events (i.e. Family Fun Day, Christmas, Halloween parties, Vendor Markets, Wedding Expo's, Corporate events) and the barn has even been featured in a Hallmark Production "A Merry Christmas Wish".
