INDUSTRIAL | MODERN | RUSTIC
Welcome to The Design Barn, a spunky wedding venue in Hebron, IN! A little bit country, a little bit industrial, and a whole lot unforgettable. Designed for couples who want something different, personal, and completely customizable, The Design Barn blends rustic charm with modern industrial style to create a wedding day that truly reflects you.
We are proud to call the countryside home. Surrounded by small towns, country roads, and friendly faces, The Design Barn offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere just 45 miles south of Chicago - a pleasant drive, just 10 minutes east of I-65, where Route 2 meets Route 231. It is the perfect Northwest Indiana wedding venue - close to Chicago, yet peaceful, private, and uniquely yours.
Our venue aesthetics combine rustic warmth with modern industrial design. Large, clear glass garage-style doors fill the space with natural light and create a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. A spacious covered patio provides the perfect setting for cocktail hour, outdoor mingling, or sunset views across the property. The Design Barn also offers countless photo opportunities throughout the grounds, including our signature floral mural, scenic open fields, and charming countryside backdrops that couples and photographers love. This is not a one-size-fits-all venue. The Design Barn is home to your customizable, all-inclusive wedding venue experience. We believe your wedding should feel like you, not like a template.

My husband and I wanted a certain vibe for our wedding. I had been to an event at The Design Barn a few years ago and knew this was the vibe. To say our day was perfect is an under...
statement! Alex took care of every detail and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything. The food was amazing, the drinks were so good, and our guests are still raving about all of it! Highly recommend!
