A barn wedding is a perfect choice for couples who dream of an authentically rustic ceremony in the country. Barns provide big, open spaces for the reception and offer endless decorating possibilities for a more picturesque setting.

Jordan Hill Farm in Richmond, KY, is an 85-acre countryside venue that will bring your dream wedding to life. It is surrounded by lush trees, charming log cabins, and a breathtaking view of the rolling hills, making it an ideal outdoor venue.

The staff encourages their clients to be aware of a few considerations before booking a barn wedding:

• You Must Be Willing to Walk: When you hold a barn wedding, you and your guests must be prepared to walk from one venue to another. Because barns are often built on many acres of land, the location of the actual ceremony might be a good distance from the reception venue. It’s best to find out if vehicles can be driven across the property to accommodate people who have mobility issues.

• Most Barns Don’t Have Restrooms: Barns are designed primarily to hold livestock and farm supplies and equipment, so there’s no need for them to have restrooms. When hosting your wedding, you will likely need to budget for porta potty rentals to accommodate your guests. 

• They’re Made for an Intimate Ceremony: While barns do have large floor spaces, the capacity of the venue is better suited for intimate ceremonies. In addition to accounting for your guests, you’ll need to remember to leave space for tables and a dance floor as well. As such, it’s best if your wedding is on the smaller side, say, under 150 guests.
