Planning a wedding ceremony and reception involves choosing a beautiful and meaningful venue. Hosting your nuptials in a beautiful barn located on acres of sprawling farmland can provide a number of benefits for your big day. Here's why you should consider having a barn wedding in the autumn.

Why Should You Have a Barn Wedding in the Fall?

1. Beautiful Scenery

Barns are often situated on farmland and typically feature large openings on either end of the structure. These provide stunning backdrops for the event, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views of rolling hills and pastures while you exchange vows with your partner. 

Many barns also have an indoor-outdoor feel that can permit you and your guests to enjoy fresh air and catch glimpses of beautiful wildlife during the ceremony and reception. Take advantage of photo opportunities by hiring a photographer to take portraits of you and your wedding party on the stunning, rustic property during the event.

2. On-Site Lodging

Barn wedding venues often provide on-site lodging, which can make your big day more comfortable. If you make arrangements to stay in a château or country house located on the property, you can spend the day getting ready without worrying about a long commute to the venue, which can save you time on the big day. The accommodations can also act as a rustic retreat for you and your new spouse after the ceremony, giving you a beautiful and relaxing head-start to the honeymoon.

3. Versatile Decor Options

The interior of a barn typically features high ceilings and exposed wooden beams, making the venue a gorgeous blank slate that can adapt to practically any decor scheme. You might dress up the space with cushioned seats, fresh flowers, and chiffon drapes to make the interior feel formal and elegant. You could also add string lights or hang lanterns from beams to invoke a magical glow after the sun sets. If you want to create two distinct spaces for your ceremony and reception, add an outdoor tent adjacent to the barn and decorate each area differently.

4. Plenty of Space

Since barn wedding venues are spacious and often comfortably fit up to 100 guests, they are perfect for larger nuptial events. These structures are typically located on dozens of acres of farmland, meaning you can set up outdoor tents with tables to provide additional room for attendees to gather. Having plenty of space on the property also prevents guests from having to worry about finding a place to park, which can make the event more convenient.
