I cannot recommend Emma Creek Barn enough to anyone looking to get married! It is such a beautiful barn with lovely scenery from intricate landscaping to large leafy trees surround...
ing the barn. The inside hardly needs decoration with gorgeous wood beams, a loft, built in bar/kitchen, and pavilion just right out back. I was so impressed with the value of this venue. Josh and Natasha are very upfront with costs, giving us a break down on our first meeting with no hidden fees. They are very timely communicators and helped us from start to finish, assisting with set up, directing guests, helping out during the reception, and helping us clean up. They were so kind throughout the entire process.
The venue held around 200 people as it was a cold night in November. We were hoping to use the pavilion for seating and the dance but had no problem fitting everyone inside. We stayed perfectly warm the whole evening, even with below freezing temperatures.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue inside and out and honest, kind, and helpful owners, and a venue that does not break the bank, Emma Creek Barn is the place!

ver you need them beforehand and the week/weekend of the event. The venue itself is outstanding. There was a lot of room for people to move around and the pavilion offers more space if you have a long guest list! The barn has AC which was a blessing with having an August wedding.
We also stayed in the cabin for the weekend and it was very relaxing and had space for everyone to get ready. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking! Josh and Natasha made it such an enjoyable experience and really helped with the stress of the day!
We loved this beautiful venue for our June, 2025 wedding! Working with Josh and Natasha to create our dream day did not disappoint!

y wedding day. Along with the beauty of the barn and its surrounding area, the owners do a wonderful job at making sure everything goes well throughout your entire wedding day. When setting up for the wedding, they were more than happy to assist in any way needed. They went above and beyond in helping out on my wedding day. They even saved my cake when I was told the driver was stuck right before I went down the aisle. When I got the call about my cake, she immediately jumped in to solve the issue for me. I am so grateful for how kind and generous they both were. They made sure my wedding was stress-free and everything I dreamed of. I would highly recommend them for a wedding!

dable place and you can rent their cabin so you don’t have to go anywhere after your wedding! They let you have your vision of what you want to do with the space and help you do everything to make it happen and make sure your day goes smoothly. They helped us even clean up!
The venue and grounds were absolutely beautiful! Josh was beyond helpful in every aspect, helping make our wedding amazing! Can't recommend enough!
Emma Creek Barn was extremely, extremely on it! This gorgeous venue was the perfect venue for nearly 200 ppl attending my wedding not to mention the family!

ess was on top of things with preparation, day-of series of events, and they were very reasonable with extra costs! Natasha and Josh are generous and kind people to work with and they were very responsive to texts and calls leading up to the wedding, which was such a relief. Their payment plan is done by paper contract only, which maybe the only thing I would've changed, but honestly, it helped both parties (my parents and the managers) clearly see what we were requesting from this venue! We did our own sound and were lucky to have incredible help from our friends, and they were so chill and flexible with all of that!
Josh and Natasha were so good about lighting, helping with setup, and they even let us bring out a baby grand (we did all the moving)! They offer drape-hanging from the rafters, which is an added fee, but the barn is spacious enough and has that perfect rustic feel that we didn't feel the need for the extra accessories!
The inside of the barn is a little tight fitting for 200 guests, so I would recommend doing seating in and outdoors, but its perfect for any number under that!
The grass and the stage were the perfect setup in our early-August wedding! Thank God the heat was not-unbearable, but people even brought umbrellas! They had fans for the inside or wherever we wanted them.
My favorite part was having a big cabin less than two miles away from the venue where my bridesmaids and I could spend the night before and have space to get ready. Just what I needed as a stressed out bride. It's a two minute country drive from the venue, and that just what i needed The spacious rooms of this beautiful wood cabin makes for a perfect spot for any pre-celebrations as well as for your wedding night!
Another highlight that I didn't expect was the walk-way from the parking lot to the venue, you can light it up with fairy lights or bulbs, and it made a beautiful spot for us to take photos post-ceremony, especially in the afternoon!
Overall, if I could give them a 10 out of 5, I would!
