The Ceremony
An 18×18 gazebo with chapel seating for 150+, open fields and mountains behind you — or move the vows inside under the trusses. Rain plans are easy: there's indoor space for everything.
Your Wedding Day
Hundreds of weddings.
Every one different.
The Big Barn has hosted hundreds of weddings, and no two have looked alike. From first look to last dance, the whole day happens in one place — no shuttling between ceremony and reception.
CapacityUp to 250 Guests
The Reception
Two levels and 10,000 square feet of timber-framed barn, a full bar pouring farm-grown beer, custom catering, and on-site coordination — with the mezzanine overlooking your dance floor.
Getting Ready
Separate bride and groom dressing suites to start the day, and 7+ acres of gardens and green space for portraits — golden hour on a farm does half your photographer's work.
Golden Acre Events
Everything your day needs,
already on the farm.
Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, rain plan — the venue holds it all. With multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, you and your guests will feel right at home.
