About This Vendor

A Beautiful Setting for Your Fairytale Wedding...

Set on a majestic 80 acres of grassy plains, it’s a beautiful backdrop for an outdoor ceremony, with rustic accents like the exposed wood and lines of prairie fence. The spacious bridal suite offers a lovely full bath, french doors, and several antique-style vanities. Balconies provide stunning views and delightful settings for photographs and the bouquet toss. Larger parties can be accommodated with the sprawling covered pavilion attached to the barn. Let the cocktail hour begin outdoors and enjoy the brilliant sunset with an unobstructed view. Dine and dance with your guests into the night, as crickets chirp and the stars make their appearance dotting the sky.

I LOVED having my wedding here. It was absolutely stunning! And I REALLY loved how beautiful it was on the inside too. It happened to rain on my wedding day but moving the ceremony inside wasn’t totally heart crushing like it could’ve been beca...
use of how gorgeous the inside is. The ONLY thing I didn’t love was the fact that we didn’t get to have a rehearsal on the day before. They said they typically do them on the morning of. Which probably works out for most people since a lot of people get ready AT the venue site anyway. But my bridal party and myself were trying to save money so we got ready in Fort Worth where we live so we wouldn’t have to pay travel fees for our makeup and hair ladies to come to us. And with the BWB being a 50 minute drive from from where we live, it just made more sense not to go in the morning to have to come all the way back to get ready then go back again. Anyway, even with that one small thing I didn’t like, I have absolutely ZERO regrets choosing this GORGEOUS venue. Faith is also super nice and helpful throughout the entire process which helps alleviate some of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, especially planning one in under 6 months ;)

The BWB staff are knowledgeable and know vendors who will fit our budget. The bridal suite is gorgeous! There’s a full bath and three or four vanities for getting ready. They also have an adorable playscape for kids as well as a gas fire pit. The outdoor pavilion is spacious, covered, and well-lit. I can’t wait to renew our vows here!

We attended a wedding at this location Saturday, and it was perfection! The entire day was the bride and grooms to set up and decorate any way they wanted (ok I decorated she got her nails done). I love that it was able to be so custom though! ...
There were not ten thousand crazy rules about food, alcohol, and decorations! Which SO many places have. There were over 150 people and there was still room for more. The venue is beautiful and complete with a porch that has views that are to die for. I wish there were rockers for that porch!Personally my kids loved the mini barn playscape out back and having that there kept them busy and out of our hair. Anyway this is a huge and beautiful place with lovely owners. They were beyond helpful before during and after my BFF's wedding! I wish this place was around when I got married!! They are SO laid back and made the day SO easy for her and the bridal party and heck the whole family on both sides too! Thank you very much!!!!!!!! We wish you big success!

perience start to finish; I toured this venue in July after already touring a number of other venues. I received an information packet including a pricing breakdown, which I was told would be effective until January 1st. I enjoyed everything about the venue save for two things; Myself, my mother, and my fiancé all agreed that the owner, Cathy, left a bad taste in our mouths, and there were some landscaping issues that they assured us they were addressing. All the same, I was pretty sure I had found my wedding venue. I decided to wait and tour it one more time in the winter, to get a better feel of what the landscape would look like finished, and in the season our wedding would be in. When my fiancé and I went to a public event that they held mid-October, the landscaping issues had still not been addressed. I decided they had probably just run into some hiccups, and it would be beautiful by the time we got married. Then last week I received an email from their new office manager, with a price sheet attached. They DOUBLED their prices, completely restructured their packages, and said that rates would be going up again December 1st. I emailed the office manager stating my disappointment, and she emailed back saying they would honor the original price they gave me until December 1st. I respected that, but was still a little hesitant due to their apparent disorganization and irresoluteness, and the fact that I was originally told I had until January to make a decision. One month might not sound like a big deal, but it's mid-November now, and it is BARELY starting to look like Fall outside. We're having an outdoor winter wedding. It could look like a completely different place come December, and I want to know what my ceremony will look like. But that's a relatively small point. While I was mulling over whether or not to stick with this venue, the owner, Cathy called my personal number (which I'm still not sure how she got) about the aforementioned review I wrote. I told her I would be happy to discuss it with her, but I couldn't speak at that moment, and we would have to talk later. She became very rude and continued to try to push me into talking with her right then. After this I dreaded talking to her, but I called her back the next day to honor my word. She hung up on me as soon as I gave my name. I run a business too. I know it's no fun to get negative reviews, but it is part of it. It's great to try to make things right when you can, but it is unprofessional and unacceptable to try to bully someone into revoking their opinion. The Big White Barn is a neat venue, but the owners are clearly inexperienced and unprofessional. I am so grateful this all happened before I put down my deposit. I will definitely be looking elsewhere, and would fair warn anyone considering this venue to be very very leery.

The BWB is family friendly, which is exactly what we wanted. The playground was fun and super cute, the kids loved it! The fire pit and lawn games were great for a relaxed and fun wedding; we set up a s’mores bar which was really popular. We had the ceremony outside overlooking the pond and the reception inside the barn. We’re so happy with how everything turned out, it was absolutely perfect! We highly recommend the BWB to anyone looking for a great wedding venue or for any other occasion.
