Nestled off the back roads in a secluded Brown County valley sits the perfect venue to celebrate your special day or event. Built in the late 1800’s, The Old Barn at Brown County has been restored with new flooring, romantic chandelier lighting and convenient onsite restrooms, all while maintaining its original rustic-charm. The barn provides 3,800 square feet of multi-functional space, beautiful views and privacy. The classic and simple lines of the barn allow you to create and design your own unique event no matter what your style. In addition to the barn, the Big Easy Log Cabin is also located on the property. The newly renovated 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath cabin is the perfect size for you and your overnight accommodations. The 1880’s hand-hewed log cabin includes a wonderful wrap-around porch, sufficient get ready space, and a game room for you and your guests to enjoy.

    Such a beautiful venue but horrible experience

    We got married October 14 at the barn. We chose this barn because it was 15 minutes down the road from our house and we have a handful of kids. When we originally booked this venue, it was original owners and we absolutely love them. Then come December and they told us that they were bought out right then and there they should’ve gave us the option if we wanted to continue wedding at the venue or not which they didn’t and I probably wouldn’t change my mind due to how beautiful it was. For the first year we were supposed to have visits at the barn which we did up until we didn’t. When we started trying to find food, we went to first class catering while we were there after speaking to them, they told us that the old barn was one of their venues after trying three separate types of food them. We decided to go a different route. They have first class events helping them first off let me say every time we meet with someone (which I had to inforce the meeting because they never reached back out to me) it was a different person who couldn’t answer any of your questions. Not only that when I asked if there manager was coming they said she lived in Boston. First that’s a very big inconvenience and weird to be managing properties your not at. Then, when items came up missing and I reached out to their manager team like she really just didn’t care, and she just offered a check. Regardless of how beautiful this venue is, they are very unprofessional they don’t refill the propane tanks they didn’t tell us that we had to either they left everything in there from the previous behind. I had to wait for them to come and get it out the next morning. It was just one incident after the next if they lost first class catering, and they became their own event company I think they would be way better off such an transactional experience. We really truly did love the original owners and they were so pleasant and they were whom made us want to marry there. These new owners just dropped the ball.

The barn has its own catering area including a prep counter, refrigerator and wash down facilities. We prefer a licensed catering company to supply all food and drinks. Caterer is responsible for set-up, breakdown and cleanup of the catered area. We do allow couples to bring their own food.
No, per our Brown County zoning stipulations, it is required that you rent the Big Easy Log Cabin in order to reserve the Barn for your event. The cabin serves as a convenient weekend overnight accommodation for the bride and groom, family or bridal party. Brides also enjoy the spacious yet cozy space to relax and settle in on Friday night and to get ready in before the wedding on Saturday. We invite you to take a look to see for yourself.
We have (2) ADA compliant restrooms in the barn for your guests which includes a larger dressing area in the women's restroom.
There is a large flat grassy area directly in front of the Barn that is perfect for an outdoor ceremony. We offer rustic wooden benches for outdoor seating and a wooden platform for the wedding party. Ask us about our antique doors for your ceremony entrance.
On-site parking is available. Vehicles can be left on the property overnight until 11:00am on Sunday. We want you and your guests to be safe; please ask us about our preferred shuttle services.
Chairs and 8' rustic harvest tables for 180 guests, (2) 10' harvest tables, (6) barrel cocktail tables, (1) 4' table, (2) 8' rectangle tables are provided in the Wedding Package. Wooden benches are available for outdoor ceremony seating.
We encourage you to make the space your own. Barn door drapery and speciality lighting are included in the Wedding Package. Note that candles must be contained by glass and used in a manner that does not create a fire hazard. It is the client's responsibility to return the site to its original state.
Alcohol is permitted on the premises, however approved and licensed bartenders who carry Liquor Liability Insurance must be used.
We want to be good neighbors therefore we, and the Brown County Ordinances, ask that music, amplified sound and alcohol service conclude by 10:30pm. All guests should be off the premises by 11:00pm (note, this does not include up to 8 registered guests of Big Easy Log Cabin).
A $500 deposit is due at the time of booking to hold your wedding weekend. If you should change your mind within 2 weeks of making your deposit, you will receive a full refund. All payments after the 2 weeks will be non-refundable.
