We LOOOVE Sonshine Barn!
If we could recommend Sonshine Barn 5 million times over, we would! Everything about Sonshine Barn is designed to make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We cannot thank the entire Sonshine Barn Team - especially Sarah, Jen, and Courtney - for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect. Between Sarah helping us with decorations and venue questions, and Jen and Courtney helping coordinate the logistics day-of, our wedding day went off without a hitch. There wasn’t a single detail my husband (!!!) and I were worried or stressed about come wedding day. I also cannot emphasize how incredible it is to have your contract run the entire length of your wedding weekend, with the Farmhouse onsite. This level of convenience is unmatched. On top of all of this, Sonshine Barn itself is beautiful. From the interior of the barn, to the grounds, the ceremony backdrop, and everything in between. 100000/10 we highly recommend Sonshine Barn!
Jessica Freeman•Apr 22, 2026Hannah, we love hearing that you had such an amazing wedding weekend! It was an absolute joy to host your wedding and blessings to you and Josh for a lifetime of happiness together!

Very poor signage and directions to the event. An OK location. The barn was clean but just a barn. And reference their rely - If there were signs, people might be able to find those things.
Sonshine Barn Wedding & Event Center•Sep 8, 2026Mike, we definitely like to think we are more than just a barn! We have heat & a/c in our barn with the hanging chandeliers and private bridal suite, beautifully manicured lawns, large farmhouse, clubhouse with the basketball court and putting green, kids play area and outdoor abor. Sometimes, wedding guests don't always get to see all the amenities we provide for our couples. Also, I'm not sure how you could miss the 1951 bright red vintage Ford truck out in front with the large Sonshine Barn sign in the truck bed. We also have a large sign pointing to the parking lot as well.

Stunning wedding venue!, the pictures do not do the place justice! The farm house was so convenient for the wedding party and rehearsal dinner! And the club house was great for keeping the little ones entertained! The bridal suite was great for the girls to get all dolled up in!, and my wedding planner was so helpful and much needed!!!!! I cant be any happier picking this venue!!!!
Sonshine Barn Wedding & Event Center•Jul 12, 2026Erin, we are so happy that you enjoyed your wedding weekend!

I honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding day. From the moment we chose Sonshine Barn, we knew it was a beautiful venue, but experiencing our wedding there exceeded every expectation. The natural beauty of the property is breathtaking, and the entire team made the day feel effortless. A huge thank you to Veronica and Toree—they truly went above and beyond. They paid attention to every little detail and took the ideas I shared, bringing them to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I envisioned. Having people who genuinely cared about making our day special meant the world to us. The farmhouse was also an absolute game changer. Being able to have so many of our closest friends and family stay together on the property made the whole weekend feel even more meaningful. We were able to spend extra time together, make lasting memories, and truly soak in every moment. We are so grateful to everyone at Sonshine Barn for making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an amazing team that truly cares about your experience, I can't recommend Sonshine Barn enough. Thank you for giving us a day we'll never forget!
