Emma Creek Barn is a event venue that was built to host weddings and receptions all in one beautiful location! The venue is centered around the barn and boasts many new additions and features including a beautiful bridal suite log cabin, a new covered pavilion, a limestone stage for ceremonies and an absolutely beautiful property, not to mention the barn itself! The barn is an all wood, Amish crafted barn with a full kitchen, a bar, his and hers restrooms, a loft and seating capacity up to 200. The overall feel of the venue is peaceful and private, surrounded by large trees, a flowing creek and well landscaped grounds! Emma Creek Barn is the perfect spot for most any size wedding inside, outside or both!
The Barn
The hand crafted all wood barn features 30-foot-high ceilings with a large loft, a kitchen with a service bar, men's and women's restrooms and capacity of 200. The Barn has excellent lighting from the many windows by day or the party lighting by night and is perfect for dinner and dancing. The Barn also has a large porch overlooking the ceremony area and stage, the porch is a great area for cocktails and chatting with friends.
The Log Cabin
Situated 3/4 mile from the barn is a beautiful 3-bedroom log cabin, perfect for the Bride and Groom on their wedding night! It can sleep 6+ and has a stocked kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a fireplace and a porch overlooking the pond and fire pit. The cabin is tucked back on 26 acres of trees and prairie grass with a flowing creek and pond, it's an ideal place to relax! It's also a great place to get ready prior to the ceremony.
The Pavilion
Located just steps from the barn is our new covered pavilion that can seat up to 200 people (160 at tables). It is a versatile space that can be used for outdoor dancing, dinner or even the ceremony in rainy weather. It's a great place for cocktails with friends, games or a shady place to hang out. It has party lighting throughout and has plenty of power outlets for DJ’s and sound equipment.
The Grounds
The grounds around Emma Creek Barn are peaceful and beautiful, filled with large mature trees, numerus flower beds, sitting areas, fire pits and walking trails along the flowing creek! The whole property provides a peaceful and private setting to host your event! The elevated limestone stage is the perfect spot for your ceremony and is just steps away from the barn for the reception afterwards. The grounds all around the property have beautiful, manicured lawns with party lighting surrounding the whole area and is exceptionally beautiful after dark. The venue has adequate parking for even large weddings, including handicap spaces.

This venue was beautiful! I loved the barn. It made my wedding day absolutely magical. The photos came out beautiful. I loved utilizing the covered patio outside with the rain on my 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!

I absolutely loved everything about this venue, The Hastings(owners), the view. They are top notch people with a great, beautiful and quiet place to get married. It’s a very affordable 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!

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!
This couple-run business 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!
Have your wedding at Emma Creek Barn!
