The barn that started it all.
1628 280th St, Adair, IA 50002 · Directions
Back in January 2015 our two oldest kids both got engaged, a few weeks apart, and both wanted to get married on the farm. The barn turned 100 that year. Tim had wanted to restore it for ages, and now he finally had a deadline.
That summer we hosted three family weddings in it. After that, it felt wrong to keep it to ourselves.
We kept it simple and rustic on purpose: the original wood, bistro lights, lace and burlap, and old family keepsakes on the walls. Before you leave, you carve your names and wedding date into the wall alongside every couple who came before you.
Room alongside the barn for a 40×100 tent if you need more space.
Every couple carves their names and date into the barn. Yours stays as long as the barn does.
Have the ceremony on the grass with the farm behind you, or inside under the lights.
Three sleeping areas come with every package, so your people can stay right on the farm.
The barn, our tables and chairs, and a weekend on the farm.
