FOUR WALLS. INFINITE LOVE.

A barn is where hard work happens. It is where good times and bad happen. It is where families come together. To work. To play. To connect. To grow. And to make memories. It weathers storms, the elements and anything else you can possibly throw at it. Can you think of a better metaphor for marriage? Can you think of a better place to start one? We can’t either. That’s why we put so much heart into The Barn here at Allen Acres. To create a place where someone’s there to bring the vision of your day to life. Why we fought for it. Why we worked ourselves into the ground for it. Spent money we didn’t have on it. And put every ounce of energy into the four walls you’ll see before you. Labor of love? It was an undying test of our wills, our bank accounts and our sanity. But that’s what you do for something and someone you’re passionate about. It’s how you start your dream. It’s how we started ours. And how we’d like to start yours. By putting the hard work that went into this barn, into your wedding. We believe when you want to build a foundation for a marriage, you start in a structure that’s been built and cared for, with love.

"My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at The Barn last September. It was absolutely beautiful and we have gotten so many compliments on the setting! Working with Karen and Rachel was also so easy. They are very flexible, easy to contact and just wonderful people. If you have an idea, all you have to do is ask and odds are Karen will be fine with it or help make it happen. Karen is also a great resource because she has been in contact with so many vendors. My husband and 2 of his groomsmen from out of town decided to stay at the house the night before the wedding, which worked out great. It was a bit of work to set everything up but because it is so pretty and simple, you can really get crafty and make it look how you envisioned your special day! The day of the wedding went so well. It worked out great to have myself and the bridesmaids getting ready upstairs while the guys got ready downstairs. The location of the barn is really perfect too. It is on the edge if town and not far from the hotels which is really nice for out of town guests. Our wedding ceremony at the barn was gorgeous and was everything we could have hoped for!

The barn was everything I wanted it to be, it was even more than I had hoped for. Perfect setting for a perfect night. Rachel and Karen were amazing and very accommodating!Brianna Ayott – September 6, 2014

We just had our wedding at The Barn at Allen Acres this past 4th of July weekend and it was AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough about this wedding venue. Karen was AWESOME, she met with us personally to discuss our wedding plans and she was available the entire time during our wedding planning process. Rachel (Karen’s assistant) was also great! She met with us several times at the barn to discuss the new renovations and how we would organize our wedding at the barn. The barn, farm house, and entire property was PERFECT for what my husband and I dreamed of for our wedding. Our rustic, farm wedding was a big hit with our friends and family; our guests couldn't stop RAVING about how adorable and “Pinterest-y” the barn was! The farm house is also BEAUTIFUL. Karen has done so much work over the past few months to make the house very picture-worthy, comfortable, and ideal for wedding prep. The whole operation at The Barn at Allen Acres is top-notch and I highly recommend it to anyone dreaming of a farm wedding.Katie McFadden Sexton – July 5, 2014

I don’t even know where to start! We were married at Allen Acres this past Saturday, Sept 20th. My husband and I live out of state so we had an extra challenge with the distance between but our wedding turned out beautifully. My friends and family said it was a dream wedding and I have to agree! From the moment I spoke to Karen on the phone the first time, I knew this would be a beautiful experience. This barn belonged to her father and when she spoke of it I could feel the emotion attached to it for her through the phone. I knew immediately that this was once a home filled with love and laughter and so many fond memories for her and her family and she is so gracious to allow us into her family’s home to start creating memories for our own family. There is a spacious, fully functional house attached to the stunning barn that comes with the rental and we were able to allow my husbands family to stay there so they didn't have to worry about lodging after their long travels to get to us. This house has been professionally decorated with beautiful vintage furnishings and decorations. I couldn't have envisioned a more perfect space. The barn is everything a barn should be and allowed us to create a truly magical experience. Karen and Rachel were available and eager to help make the experience as painless as possible and were very accommodating. The vendors we worked with were awesome as well. There are so many options/ ways for you to personalize the experience through your decorations and photos. They really did let us put our own stamp on the place! The Barn at Allen Acres allowed us to have the wedding of my pinterest dreams! If you are looking for a truly unique, personal, beautiful, rustic wedding- LOOK NO FURTHER!! I am so glad we stumbled upon this place and I cannot wait to see Karen’s dreams for this place continue to grow! Thank you so much Karen Rogers, Rachel and The Barn at Allen Acres!!!Kalinda Kehn – September 20, 2014

I wouldn't change a thing. Our guests were ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ all night. Karen and Rachel are fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a rustic, relaxed atmosphere.Brenda Reynolds – September 6, 2014

Beautiful venue! So many options for photos. Having the ceremony and going downstairs to eat makes for an easy transition until reception!Kimberly Musch Raper
