This family-owned venue is the perfect setting for couples seeking a vintage (not primitive) outdoor wedding surrounded by breathtaking views, a relaxing atmosphere, and an abundance of history. Our picturesque property is nestled in the hills of the Ozark Mountains. Our venue features a 70-year-old barn that we renovated in 2019.
We can accommodate up to 150 wedding guests. The vintage barn can be used in a variety of ways for your dream wedding—vintage, rustic, and boho. Our cabin is your bridal suite, but you can also rent it for honeymooning.
When you are ready to tour, we will be here to show you all we can do to help you create the day of your dreams.

Not only is the Barn at Cricket Creek beautiful, but Jon and Michelle were also so helpful leading up to and the day of the wedding. They helped us decorate and pull things out of the share room, and Michelle did our ceremony flower arrangements. We also rented the cabin for myself and the bridesmaids for the night before, which was great for getting ready the next day. Our wedding day was perfect, and I would definitely recommend this venue.

Jon and Michelle are AMAZING! The barn was everything we had hoped for! I loved having the cabin to get ready in and of course we stayed there. Staying took all the worries away after the ceremony. Jon and Michelle have such an attention to detail that everything was absolutely perfect. We had everything we needed for the day and they are SO affordable. Our guests were able to sit in the barn or outside, our DJ set up and we had a great party after the ceremony! My day was perfect!

What a special day and fun night! Beautiful setting! Jon and Michelle were so sweet to work with, truly nice people and you can tell they enjoy hosting weddings here. Her decor and floral arrangements were gorgeous, the kids loved the train rides with Jon and they were there every step of the way to help. Our wedding was all I hoped for , had an incredible evening .

Wow! My husband and I cannot say enough about this place. My husband and I were married here in May of 2022. Unfortunately when planning a wedding especially outside and in May rain can be a hit or miss here in Arkansas, but not at this venue! it was definitely a HIT regardless of weather!!! On our big day it decided to storm with chances of tornados! the rain and storms settled down eventually before our ceremony started and Michelle already got to planning the day before. She went over all large and minor details with me on how to make this day perfect. With notice ahead of what my vision was, Michelle designed my flower arrangements and decorations and also got with my vendors on where they need to set up days before the wedding. I did not have a wedding planner or coordinator, but you do not need one here! Michelle is a total wedding guru and will understand and execute your vision exactly. I cannot thank y'all enough for all their hard work and creative ideas that were put into this day for us, I would change nothing and do it all over again if I could.
My husband and I got the whole weekend package including the honeymoon suite, family stayed in hotels and Airbnbs close by recommended by the venue. My family were all happy with their stays and more impressed with the views here! On a cloudy stormy day with the rolling hills and fog of the Ozarks, our photos turned out phenomenal! Our honeymoon suite was directly on the property and was really a bonus after the wedding to just go enjoy being married and not having to drive all the way back home. It was also a huge bonus to stay the day before to decorate plan for the big day and not having to drive back and fourth. This venue is a GEM! y'all will not be disappointed booking with these guys. Thank you Barn at Cricket Creek so much for the best day ever.

My husband and I instantly fell in love with this place. We had set out original date for 10/10/2020. We switched our date just so we could book this venue.
Not only are Michelle and Jon wonderful people they are most certainly the best venue hosts ever! We always felt welcomed are were greeted with smiles and felt right at home from day one. The price for this place is so affordable and honestly they could charge a ton more, but they don’t feel the need!
Michelle is a wonderful decorator and will jump right in the thick of it all to help out the happy couple. Jon will be your personal can do man and both do this with nothing but love in their hearts for you!
There are some things future couples really need to consider when thinking about booking here:
1. The VIEWS!!! Oh they are phenomenal!
2. The barn! Absolutely beautiful and rustic❤️
3. The cabin! I can’t stress this enough. Brides stay here the night before if you want the BEST nights sleep you will ever have! I’m telling you I hadn’t slept more than 4 hours a night for 2 months and this bed caused me to sleep soundly and deeply the night before my wedding! Not to mention the beautiful wood smell when you enter the cabin.

I could not have found a better place to have my special day. Not only is this place unique and amazing the sunset what is unlike any other I've ever seen! The views were breathtaking. And the owners went above and beyond to help make this day go off without a hitch. They added their own personal touches to my wedding and I am so grateful that they were part of it! I couldn't have done it without them. La Petite Sweeterie did my cakes and it's literally the best cake that I've ever had in my life. Her creativity and personality really shines through in the design that she created for my cake. The the evening in the cabins was wonderful! What a beautiful place to start a new adventure with my husband.

This is the best venue! Beautiful views and a couple who are there for you the whole way. From helping set-up, allowing us to borrow decorations, and giving us ideas of how to make our special day even better than we could have imagined. Jon and Michelle are fantastic and have an all inclusive space meant for weddings and special celebrations!

Absolutely GORGEOUS views! Stunning location, great price, wonderful owners. Everything was so extremely easy, it almost seemed surreal. We had so much fun hanging out after sunset, making s’mores in the fire pit also. It was nice not to have to rush out of the venue and to be able to celebrate with friends and family. And at their rate, how could you possibly say no?? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Its hands down the best place to say “I Do” if you’re into the vintage barn scene, this is the place to go. From the old rustic barn, to the set up options they have, to the room with the older chandeliers, it’s absolutely beautiful. The view is breath taking, and the quietness of the surroundings just makes it all the more better. You get you feel like you’re out in the country area with the barn while still being close to the city as well. The cabin they have as well is just as amazing. They put in the works when it came to both the venue and the cabin. Both are more than accommodating with all that’s been done here. And Jon and Michelle are some of the sweetest people you could be around, and just make the whole process of putting a wedding together 10x better. I highly recommend using this venue ❤️

Phenomenal. That’s how I would describe this place. Take what you think is the best venue and bring it up ten notches and this is the place to go. It’s affordable and gorgeous. Jon and Michelle are the kindest people and so accommodating. If you can dream it they can do it. They made it stress free and wonderful.
They have a share room where you can select many beautiful things to use for your wedding. Any issue that came up they were able to solve quickly.
Everyone kept talking about how gorgeous the view was. If you are looking for an affordable stress free place to get married at choose Cricket Creek.
