Sugar Island Barn
A down-home, authentic wedding experience
If you are looking for a stress free venue you absolutely need to come to Sugar Island Barn! They are the most welcoming, friendly, and accommodating people. It may not sound like a big deal to have the venue from Wednesday to Monday, but I promise you it makes your stress levels so much lower when you can decorate prior to getting ready for your big day, not that much decorating needs to be added because this bar is filled with beautiful lighting throughout. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the family is so willing to move or adjust anything to ensure the layout is exactly what you want. I feel like anything we asked for they made happen! Thank you all so incredibly much for making our special day nothing short of perfect!
This venue is breathtaking! It was my dream to be married in a barn and this was the place to do it. The staff is unbelievably friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. We also got the venue on the Wednesday before our wedding, which really brought down the stress with setting everything up. I can’t say enough great things about this venue. Don’t hesitate to reach out because with all the amazing things they have to offer, their weekends fill up fast!

The Robus Family
Owner
Sugar Island Barn Rustic Venue and Bar was really an afterthought.
A family of six ran the grounds, and the youngest of the four children is where the story begins. The youngest, and only daughter, held a childhood dream to be married in the late 19th century grain barn, and her father could hardly say no. With 35 years of accumulation, plus what was left from the previous owner, it was no small task to prepare a space for over 250 wedding guests. But over six months of slow and steady hard work, the barn was cleaned out, from the top rafters to the original floorboards.
