The Barns of Lost Creek

top notch and all went above and beyond during the planning process and day of. The space was huge and our guests had a great time exploring the grounds and all of the adorable buildings. It has the perfect relaxed, romantic vibe and the florals and greenery around the venue really enhance the beauty of this place. With so much help from the owners and the local vendors, we truly got to spend the entire day celebrating and spending time with our guests.

ing, and genuine people we have ever met. They treated us like family and were there every step of the way for us. They met with us multiple times prior to the wedding to go over setup and to walk through the day off. They helped set up the venue, directed guests, passed out delicious homemade appetizers, and were there to cover us newlyweds with a patio umbrella when we were hit with a torrential downpour. The venue itself is so beautiful we didn’t need many decorations. We brought some decorations ourselves and were able to rent the rest of our decorations from Mel and Don. We had planned to have our ceremony outside in front of the large tree, but the weather didn’t look like it would cooperate so we made the decision to move the ceremony into the barn. At first we were a little disappointed, but after we had the ceremony we realized how magical it was in the barn (multiple guests told us it was “magical” or “like a fairy tale”). We honestly think there wouldn’t be a bad place at this venue for the ceremony! We loved that there were multiple buildings we could utilize throughout the day. The happy hour/cocktail lounge was a perfect spot for guests to grab a drink between the ceremony and dinner. The dinner hall is charming and was very spacious for our 125 guests. The barn was perfect for the reception as it had plenty of room for guests who wanted to be on the dance floor (which was rocking all night!) or for guests who wanted to sit/stand and mingle. Overall, we couldn’t recommend The Barns of Lost Creek enough. Words truly can’t express how lucky we were to have gotten married here. We highly recommend!!!

t were excellent and we heard many compliments on them. Mell and Don are so on top of things, very responsive, and very flexible on how we wanted to do things. We can’t say enough about how fabulous this venue and Mell and Don are. Book this place! You’ll be glad you did! We wish everyone as magical and fun of a wedding as we had.

e has gorgeous landscaping. Mell and Don are amazing to work with and very sweet and caring and help with what they can!

wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly, especially when the weather turned cold and rainy! They helped with set up and take down and made our day truly special.

and went above and beyond! As for the barns, they are absolutely beautiful, the decor and all the small touches didn't go unnoticed by all of my guests.  I am continuing to hear about how cute and well decorated they thought the whole property is. The separate eating and dancing area really helped with the flow of the day as well as getting everyone into the larger barn for dancing.  It was also easy to find a quiet spot to hang out with many of their small seating areas and areas to walk around. The real bathrooms were a huge plus since most barn venues we have seen have port-a-potties or trailer bathrooms!

ingle, play yard games and even visit the lambs and chickens! The best part of holding your event at Barns of Lost Creek is the service you receive from owners Mell and Don. They are truly the hosts with the most. They are accommodating, accessible and put your mind at ease before, during and even after the event. They also have all the supplies and amenities that you may need but it is totally up to you if you use theirs or bring your own. This makes holding your wedding/reception there not only beautiful and intimate, but also personal and affordable. Honestly, I don't think we could have picked a better place! Thanks Mell and Don!

d to get married this year so we set out looking for a venue. Saying I was stressed is an understatement! After looking at what felt like 100s of venues, we fell upon The Barns of Lost Creek. We toured it & absolutely fell in love! I was afraid I was going to have to settle on a venue that didn’t fit my dream wedding due to the time constraints. There were only a few dates left so we acted fast & booked for Sept. 2nd which meant we had about 3 months to plan! Yikes! The breath taking venue hooked us, but in the end, it was Mell & Don who made this entire fast & furious wedding happen so smoothly! They were professional, so easy to communicate with & just so helpful! & I needed all the help I could get planning a wedding in 3 months on my own! They offered guidance & advice. They were flexible & personable! I really enjoyed working with them; almost as if they were part of my family. They made us feel at ease & comfortable & always offered words of encouragement. Not to mention they were everywhere on the day of the wedding! They were bartending, meeting with vendors as they arrived, coordinating & helping to set out appetizers & probably much more behind the scenes I don’t know about! We really could not have done this without them. What more could I girl ask for? Gorgeous dream wedding venue & amazing people to work with! I am recommending all of my family/friends to their Barns & I, myself, would love to have another event there! If you love outdoor, rustic barn weddings & wonderful human beings, book with Mell & Don - you won’t regret it!

ce. Plus plenty of extra outside areas for your guests to sit & relax, play yard games, or even explore the farm (including farm animals). The best part is they have different rental options so can work with any budget. They also provide you with a great list of local wedding services (such as caterers & DJs), or you can bring your own. The venue is so nicely staged you don’t even have to decorate… but they love it when you do!

e help and even made our cake.(which turned out better than I could have ever hoped) On the weekend of our wedding Mell and Don were there helping the entire time and made sure everyone was taken care of. The staff was amazing! All of our guests loved the space and had a blast. If you’re thinking of having your wedding here DO IT! Not only is it absolutely stunning but affordable. Our day was perfect all thanks to The Barns of Lost Creek!

but it comes with the help from these two wonderful humans. Mell & Don go above and beyond to make your day flow. She took care of setting out our cocktail hour food, helped transfer decor from the dining hall to the barn after dinner, kept the water dispenser full all night, etc etc. They were so accommodating! If you have your wedding here, please consider tipping them; they're basically built in day of coordinators. As for the venue, everything is in one place; large field for the ceremony, a dining hall, and a barn for dancing. There is two "getting ready buildings with air conditioning: one for the guys & one for the girls. Our photographer (Abby Dominguez) had a hoot with our photos because the venue is so beautiful she had many places to take gorgeous photos. We didn't need to overdue decorations because the place is already so cute and rustic! Lastly, the venue accommodates catering in food & beverages. With that being said, you can save TONS of money. We got all of our alcohol from Costco and saved a fortune. Anything unopened we returned and got our money back. We are SO happy we choose this venue!!!!!

o decorate. The owners are such amazing people and are hands on helping. They offer so much more than a venue with food and dessert options depending on your wedding size. They were great with communication the whole way through and have a list of vendors who are also wonderful to work with. Forever will be thankful we found them!

ng and the day of, they were so quick to help us with anything we could possibly need. They worked so hard in the background to make our day just absolutely magical. They set up all of our chairs and even made our cocktail hour and late night snacks! You can tell they are so passionate about what they do and work hard to make sure their couples have a wonderful day. Not to mention the barn and the property is just so beautiful. All of our vendors just loved the barns and said it was in their top 3 venues they had been to! I would recommend the Barns of Lost Creek to anyone getting married or looking for a venue for an event! It was perfect.

ke things run smoothly from beginning to end! They are fantastic at what they do!

as so accommodating and laid back (exactly what I needed as a bride!) Not only did she provide this venue but also offered to cater our food which played exactly into what we envisioned and was delicious. We planned our wedding in only two months and we couldn’t have chosen better with such a personable experience (we even got a card wishing us a happy first married Christmas!) I can’t say enough good things about the Barns of Lost Creek and have recommended them to every bride looking for a venue. 10/10!

g prep areas will put you in the perfect mood for your day. Our photographer has so many photo opportunities due to the thought put into their layout, decor, and so much more! For ANY animal lover or little ones, there are lots of adorable animals to interact with! We cannot say enough about how much we love this place!

pecial is the owners, Mell and Don. They are so kind, accommodating, easy to work with, and they really thought of every detail. Everything about our day felt perfect and most of that had to do with how much love and care they put into their business and into our experience. I will recommend this place to every person who needs to host an event - it’s perfect!

re able to nail down details over texting and emails from afar. We did get to the venue twice before the wedding to see it in person, but it wasn't something crucial in the planning since she would quickly send all the measurements and details we asked for. We got to preserve our individuality and avoid so much frustration due to their flexibility, such as picking out our own caterer (not from a short list like other venues) and bring our own alcohol/have it delivered--although her list of suggested vendors was very useful as well. We were able to even use Mell as our cake and cupcake baker, and she was able to duplicate a favorite recipe with her farm-fresh fruit and match our Pinterest idea for the cake fondant....just wow!!! They went over and above to make sure every detail promised was right and were silently buzzing around the whole time we were there to make sure everything went perfectly. We really enjoyed every minute of the planning with them and the wedding day itself, and couldn't have possibly needed anything more! Cheers to Mell and Don at the Barns of Lost Creek!

putting away items. There was some added stress in trying to find a few items but it all worked out in the end. Mellissa was very easy to work with and extremely helpful throughout the night. Strongly recommend this place for a wedding!!!

that everything on the day of runs smoothly so that the couple has nothing to worry about. Mell is also great about answering any questions that you have related to the venue/planning your day. It was great to have complete freedom when it comes to choosing your vendors, and they even provide a list of vendors that have worked well in the past, which made planning so much easier. We got so many compliments on the venue and its uniqueness. By far the best barn venue you could ever have your wedding at!

ek, just over the border in WI! It far surpassed what I had hoped for and dreamed! With a GORGEOUS property, beautifully decorated barns, affordable price, and, as the icing on top, Mel was an incredible host! She was very accommodating, knowledgeable, confident, and helpful! She had extra decor, and so many connections for whatever we needed! My guests were glowing with praise as to how beautiful our venue was too! It was honestly the best day! I have nothing at all bad to say about this venue- if it has availability, book it!! You won’t regret it!

g that I wanted it to be and this venue was what made it so. Mell is the most helpful and friendly and supportive and I can't say enough good things about it. If this is anything close to the style you are looking for, choose this venue. I promise you won't regret it.

en our cater (Chipotle) didn't provide everything that they said would be provided, the staff ran into town and got the things that were needed without me even knowing! The animals (pigs and sheep) that they have there as well as the gardens and hiking trails through the woods really kept our guests occupied after everything was done! They also have many things that you can rent from them for cheap instead of having to purchase them for yourself. This website does say that the max occupancy is 200, but Mell (the owner) told me that her permit only allows 150 as a max occupancy. However, she was really nice about us having just over the 150 maximum.

ortunity. Mel and Don are the absolute best. They went above and beyond our expectations. They work so diligently to make sure your wedding day is everything you want it to be! It was also a bonus that the barn is so unique and decorated brilliantly that the need for extra decorations and accent pieces was minimal. I would highly recommend to anyone who is a looking for a barn wedding. Mel and Don truly take pride in making the wedding day goes according to plan! I couldn’t be happier that we chose this venue!

ny/dance and beautiful dining hall for dinner!

edding at the barns October 10, 2020 and came back for our COVID Reception June 5, 2021. We had 130 guests show and everyone had a wonderful time despite it being 97 degrees (without dewpoint). Mell, Don, and their bartenders kept the ice water stocked and ready for all our guests all night. We had a 5 pm mini ceremony, dinner at 6:30, dance 8 to 11. Although I wish we had more time to dance, it was the perfect amount of time for the weather we had. Our pictures were fabulous, and be sure to check out our wedding video from October, I'll add the link here at the end. The video shows the getting ready rooms, the barn a bit, and our outdoor ceremony. 10/10 Recommend this place to anyone who asks, great bang for your buck compared to other venues in the pierce county area! 10/10 gorgeous 10/10 customizable 10/10 fun https://drive.google.com/file/d/16a9qBs0730oGur8ZAn4xJ_4RCmZ7RguL/view?fbclid=IwAR2Y0ufx_Qjem744wZ0BNvKTpYotGiAtW3pOdxGEbIWwxaDy8wS1QyEj_Jc

g vibes. On top of their great hospitality, their venue is absolutely stunning. The location hosts a large dining hall, barn and bar area as well as lots of outdoor space to roam around. Perfect for a summer or autumn wedding. Mel is also a spectacular baker who made all of our desserts. The barn also has onsite bathrooms and bridal accommodations which makes it an all in one package! We wouldn't want to have our wedding anywhere else and would recommend this place 100 times over.

compliments from our guests on it! Mell and Don also made the process of wedding planning (especially during COVID) a breeze! Mell answered all my questions in a timely manner and was extremely helpful in offering advice and suggestions when needed. They went above and beyond in every manner and I truly can't thank them enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to everyone! We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out!

lped with everything possible the day of. The beauty of this property is that the landscape and surroundings did most of the work for us, I really didn't have to bring in any decorations which made it for a stress free event. This venue also allows to bring in your own vendors to make you wedding truly yours! If you're looking for a rustic chic venue that you can make your own, I would highly recommend The Barns of Lost Creek!

years prior and I remember thinking about how beautiful the wedding was a few years back. When we went back to tour I was blown away. They had added a new dining hall and the venue had such a special charm that was unlike anything else we had seen. I knew it was the venue for us. Flash forward to our wedding day... Mell and Don helped us from start to finish and EVERYTHING in between. The wedding was magical with plenty of beautiful backdrops for photos. Being a COVID bride, Mell helped us have our special day while still making it a safe day for us and our guests attending. The magic from the venue, love from the owners, and the hard work and dedication that has obviously been put into this venue helped make our day the most perfect day ever. I am so happy we chose The Barns of Lost Creek! They made our day the best!

d have happened to us!! Mell and Don were incredible to work with. They were accommodating, flexible and incredibly kind. They were welcoming, supportive of us, and true allies, which can sometimes be a concern when looking for a venue as a queer couple. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! They worked so hard to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch — and they succeeded! We love this venue and adore them. I would 10000% choose this venue over and over again.

but neither did anybody else! Mell and Don had to think quick on their feet about how they were going to move forward with weddings. They were amazing at keeping us in the loop and being flexible about what could be done for a wedding. They are great communicators and were always available to answer our questions or let us come look around the barn again. Speaking of the barn, this venue is AMAZINGLY beautiful. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outside and it was just breathtaking. The dining hall is rustic but classy and is unique. From the moment I showed up on the day of the wedding I felt like I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They did so many things behind the scenes so that I wouldn’t have to worry about them and they helped bring my vision to life. In the end, we are so happy that we chose to have our wedding here and we ended up having the wedding of our dreams! You can tell that Mell loves what she does and she loves the couples that she serves. If you have any doubt about having your wedding here, don’t! This was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Simply perfect ❤️

e entire property is so beautiful and thoughtfully decorated and we loved that we hardly needed to add any decorations. All of the flowers were in bloom for our wedding which made the grounds look and smell amazing! Mell and Don were a dream to work with as well! They are both so sweet and laid back which we so appreciated. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic was not the easiest, but they bent over backwards to be as flexible as possible and help us in any way they could which took SO much stress off of us. I can't even express how thankful we are that they made wedding planning so easy! We would 1000% recommend The Barns of Lost Creek for any couple who is looking for a rustic barn wedding. You will not be disappointed!

graphers could not get enough of all the wonderful photo opportunities. Mell & Don were sooo helpful throughout the ENTIRE planning process & helped things run so smoothly the day of. I have no complaints - it was the best day ever.

outdoor spots to choose from, but the barns were so beautiful that we wouldn't have been upset if weather moved our ceremony to be inside one of the barns. Decorating was super easy because both barns are already decorated beautifully. We especially loved this location because it accommodates ceremony and reception. We live in the Twin Cities, and found the Barns of Lost Creek easy to find and an easy drive. Overall, are experience was wonderful, we hope our friends have their weddings here because we want any excuse to go back!

ing we adore Mell and Don. Their attention to detail and wholehearted thoughtfulness will never go unnoticed. From the moment you pull in, it is obvious these two work their tails off. The grounds are beautifully decorated and landscaped. The antiques are artfully picked and you can't help but wonder the story and life behind them. The morning of our wedding, the weather was not ideal. It was cold, windy and rainy. This is something you obviously cannot control, but Mell and Don were prepared and ready for this prior to our arrival with heaters ready and warm. Throughout the entire day they ran around helping wherever they could. Don even waited outside the bridal suite and walked me to the main barn for our ceremony with a HUGE umbrella. I'm happy he didn't blow away! Our wedding day could have quite possibly been a mess if it weren't for these two. We are not the most organized couple but Mell and Don helped guide us since day one. Getting married at a venue that is created from love is truly special. The Barns of Lost Creek will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you Mell and Don, much love to you and hope you have a wonderful, restful winter - you deserve it! Crista & Ian Wilson 10/5/2019 Note: the drive from River Falls to The Barns of Lost Creek is breathtaking. This was an added bonus for our guests to admire the beauty on their way our wedding :)

se the venue itself is so incredibly beautiful! Mel and Don were SO helpful, amazing, and were there to answer any questions. The only reason why our wedding went so smoothly, stayed on schedule, and was organized was due to their coordination and all of their hard work. They made sure everyone was comfortable and made sure everything went well. It was the most magical day at the most magical venue and everyone should get married here!

and my husband and I knew right away we wanted The Barns Of Lost Creek four our wedding when we saw it. Mell & Don are fabulous to work with and everything turned out PERFECT! (Even the weather)! I HIGHLY recommend this venue :)

hey stay and make sure everything goes off without a hitch. Mellissa actually set up the cocktail hour food and the desserts to help out. The venue is beautiful and we received a ton of compliments and ppl asking how we found such an amazing place! The price is spot on seeing that it's cheaper than many places and you get a more beautiful and down to earth venue. It's perfect.

Barns were THE perfect venue for this! Beautiful grounds and buildings (with the dinner hall being my personal favorite) managed by the most amazing hosts - Mel and Don. Already beautifully decorated and full of vintage details, all we needed to do was to add a touch of our own. Both Mel and Don were extremely helpful before and during the wedding which made all the difference in the world as I turned out to be not quite as organized as I thought I would be! The guests LOVED roaming the grounds. The wedding party absolutely adored the getting ready spaces - and so did we! Our photographer had so much fun with all the rustic decor. I cannot express how happy I am we found the Barns and how I wish we could repeat the night all over again. :) THANK YOU Mel and Don, and the Barns crew for helping us have the best day of our lives. :)

f. They helped with everything from set up to making sure our guests were taken care of and everywhere in between. I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. The location is great (not great cell service, but I kind of liked that for our wedding day), the price was phenomenal, and everything was spectacular. I can't say enough good things about this venue!

pletely comfortable and stress-free. They really did go ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations and we were amazed how kind and professional and outstanding they are. From the early days of planning, to the execution of the wedding they never once failed to accommodate. The space at this venue is incredible, and I loved how flexible Mellissa and Don were with letting us create our dream wedding. Also, we brought in our own food and Mellissa and Don went out of their way to prepare all the food and display it beautifully. Our friends and family also couldn’t believe how smoothly everything ran. This proves that they work incredible together to ensure that every moment of our special day ran perfectly. I easily get stressed out but on the day of my wedding, I didn't worry one bit - I knew I was in good hands at all times. We can't thank Melissa and Don enough for the time and effort they put into making this truly, the best day ever. To be honest... I miss them! Thanks for everything Mellissa and Don!! 😄

runs smoothly. The venue was stunning and well kept. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Our special day was everything and more, all thanks to the Barns of Lost Creek. We truly enjoyed our experience and our guests were in awe with this rustic setting. Thanks again!

s always an email away (responds within a couple hours if not immediately!) to answer any questions and offer advice. I appreciated her feedback throughout the wedding planning to let me know what she has seen work best (and some ideas in which did not). We could not have asked for anything more beautiful and our guests were so impressed by the beauty of the barn and amenities The Barns of Lost Creek offers. From the moment we first toured the property, we totally fell in love with the setting, tranquility and sense of home Mell, Don and their abode bestow. It was the perfect venue for us and a reflection of the homes and gardens we were raised in ourselves. If you are looking for the perfect barn venue in WI, The Barns of Lost Creek is breathtaking!

They were very responsive and there the whole time helping make sure the day was absolutely perfect. There are no negative comments I have. This was a dream come true, and the barn is breathtaking! Definitely recommend The Barns of Lost Creek.
