The Best Retreat Wedding Venues in Akron, IA

Blue Tin Ranch is a fifth-generation family farm turned wedding venue on ten acres outside Burbank, South Dakota, 25 minutes from Sioux City, ten from Vermillion, and an hour from Sioux Falls. We host one wedding a weekend. The entire property is yours from Friday at noon to Sunday at noon, so you can set up without rushing, hold your rehearsal here, and pack up Sunday morning with nobody waiting on you. The 605 Barn, finished in 2026, holds 90 inside with 90 more on the covered patio. Add the pavilion, the front lawn, and a gazebo built for watching the sun go down, and we seat up to 220 guests. Tables and chairs are included. Eighteen of your people can sleep on the property in the guest house, the chicken coop, and the upstairs apartment. Outside catering is welcome and we don't require a preferred vendor list. It's your wedding, your way.
