Blissful Barn for Historic Roots with Character and Charm

About the Blissful Barn Wedding Venue

The two-story barn, with its soaring vaulted ceiling, hand-hewn beams, weathered plank walls, a custom wood spiral staircase, and rustic oak wood floors, preserves the character and charm of its historic roots. For the comfort and convenience of modern touches, the barn also features electricity, running water, handicap-accessible restrooms, Wi-Fi, and central air and heat for the bride and groom quarters, bathrooms, and prep kitchen. With its expansive 2,210 square foot interior and 2000 square foot Grand Patio, the Blissful Barn can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests.

Details of the Grounds

Ceremony Space: Their stunning and timeless wooden pergola is the ideal place to tie the knot on the lawn. In the event of unfavorable weather conditions, they have an amazing contingency plan with the capacity to host a magnificent ceremony on our magnificent Grand Patio. ( I highly recommend with any outdoor wedding that you have a backup plan and Blissful Barn offers just that…ya know…just in case!)

Reception Space: They can help any couple bring their vision to life - from rustic elegance to casual or vintage vibes, you can create a bright, warm weather-inspired look and feel that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the rustic setting.

Grand Patio: Their Grand Patio offers stunning views of our waterfall, Koi Pond, and the surrounding corn and soybean fields. Weather screens roll down to provide protection from rain or wind, allowing you to enjoy your time on the patio without worry. The large double barn doors open up to join the reception area with the patio, letting guests take in the breathtaking view.

Photography Opportunities

No worries about having to drive to other locations for beautiful wedding photos. Everything can be done on-site which helps to create a stress-free day. Take a loop around the barn and you will find greens, florals, Koi Ponds, and maybe even stop for some late evening s’mores around the campfire!

Wedding Details

May & October we can accommodate 150 guests inside the barn. The Grand patio can be used in the warmer months of June to September to allow 200 guests.

So what is included with the barn? 350 White Padded Folding Chairs, 10 Round 5ft Tables, 22 Authentic Farm tables crafted from 100-year-old hewn beams.
