dding night, Ryan and Kelly went above and beyond for us in every possible way.
They made everything seamless — every detail, every question, every part of the day ran flawlessly because of the two of them. Their organization, communication, and genuine care for their couples is unmatched. Thanks to the Horning’s, we had absolutely ZERO problems on our wedding day. None. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and perfectly orchestrated behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment.
The barn and grounds are beyond stunning, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful, unique, and welcoming the entire venue was. But what truly sets Scenic Escape Barn apart is the heart Ryan and Kelly put into what they do. They made us feel supported, celebrated, and completely taken care of.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty with exceptional people who genuinely care about your day, choose Scenic Escape Barn. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and SO much more — we are endlessly grateful!

The venue has a full service salon and bridal suite, a grooms room/getting ready and hang out area, a temperature controlled gorgeous carriage shed to have you covered rain or shine for all situations, and the two story beautiful barn with large deck for entertaining and fun outdoor space.
