Holds ceremonies and receptions
Lincoln Farmstead is a rustic wedding venue located in Huntley, IL. Nestled amid the Prairie State’s stunning countryside, this getaway provides the perfect background for a rural celebration. Boasting nostalgic charm, this historic property has been lovingly restored to host special events. This venue’s owners, Brad and Terri Hughes, are excited to share their distinctive surroundings with you and your loved ones. With a selection of flexible event spaces, this hidden gem can set the scene for your entire once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
This property began life as a modest dairy farm. Originally constructed in the 1920s, the venue was brought into the capable hands of the Lincoln family just under a century later. Recognizing the property’s potential as a premier event venue, they gave it an impressive makeover. Renovations to the farmhouse were completed in 2017, and the venue has become one of the area’s most sought-after marriage destinations. Perched at the side of Route 47, it is also easily accessible for drivers.
This property’s surroundings are characterized by sprawling acres of quaint farmland. You and your partner are sure to be charmed by the bucolic scenes that greet you. The vast panorama of flatland makes it possible to see sunsets, while the location’s tranquility generates a welcoming ambiance. This atmosphere extends to the property itself, with features such as Adirondak chairs and a period windmill further adding to the venue’s vintage appeal. You can say ‘I do’ in the old-time dairy barn before sharing your first dance in the reception area. The owners will be on-hand to assist you with any query and are keen to share their rural hideaway with you.
Lincoln Farmstead offers a range of facilities and services designed to ensure your vision is realized. Able to accommodate up to 200 guests, the venue features a range of event spaces that can host your ceremony and reception. You can exchange your vows in their 3,700-square-foot dairy barn before stepping outside to admire the scenic views. Other spaces include get-ready rooms, landscaped patios, and a spacious lawn. All of their package options include a fixed base of services, consisting of an on-site coordinator, set-up and clean-up of your decorations, and consultations. This venue operates on a seasonal basis, open from May to October.

If you are looking to have a wedding at a barn venue, this is the place to choose. The new owners, Brad and Terri, exceeded expectations, and they went above and beyond to make our wedding day memorable despite the weather. They were accommodating in every way imaginable. They genuinely care about making our day as special as possible. The vibe in the barn is authentic, and the sunsets are the best you'll ever see.

I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding experience. Barb was amazing through the entire process, offering advice and was up for anything we had in mind. If she could do it for us she made it happen. Our guests loved the venue and raved about our wedding. The venue has so many amazing areas to take pictures and the most unique part is that you have the whole weekend you can set up Friday pick up your décor on Sunday, you are not rushed like many venues.

Hello,
First things first, the Lincoln Farmstead has been built with so much love, passion and hard work which makes it that much more special. This will venue will forever have such an amazing memory for me. I had an absolutely perfect surprise proposal at this venue, surrounded by family and friends. From the beginning Barb and Chris helped my fiance plan everything to make October 6th 2018 the most memorable night of my life. I highly recommend this venue, not only are the barns so unique and full of character, the Lincoln Farmstead has such an amazing story of its own. I know this venue will become so memorable and special for so many people.
Cheers!

The moment I stepped foot onto their property I was instantly filled with the sense of “ahhhh, this is the place.” It’s rustic charm and deeply rooted history makes this venue one of a kind. Barb and Chris were kind enough to give me, my mother and my future mother in a law a tour of the entire property and did so with such excitement and passion! My fiancé and his father then went to visit and then (third times a charm) we visited a third time as a couple! Barb was so patient and helpful in answering all questions, even offering us some warm potato soup after our tour! They are the kindest couple and they did such a great job pulling at us into their vision- so much so that we have full trust in them and can’t wait for our 2020 wedding there :) Thank you, Lincoln Farmstead!
