My husband and I got married at The English Barn in April. We were looking for a peaceful venue that we could have a smaller wedding (65 guests), with a low-key dinner/cake recepti...
on to follow. Jane helped us turn our vision into reality, it was the perfect day. The decor package Jane offers allowed us to have a lot of "extras" without us having to research, purchase and bring to the venue day-of. We were able to make selections and when we showed up on the day, everything was already set. I was truly able to enjoy the day. The property is so well thought out and so many details are accounted for. From the moment you turn into the driveway, you know you're in for an unforgettable experience.

We fell in love with The English Barn the moment we drove onto the property for our tour. You can tell there was so much thought and love poured into every detail of this place. T...
here is SO MUCH to think about and worry about when you first dive into wedding planning, but from our first meeting with Jane, she put us at ease with how much her and her team would be dedicated to giving us the best day possible, from start to finish, while taking a lot off our plates. I am so thankful to have her, Paul, and the fabulous staff at English Barn who allowed us to truly be present and enjoy what turned out to be the most perfect day!
Jane was an incredible coordinator and I don't know what we would have done without her. She is very professional and was there through the whole planning process and gave me guidance on choosing the right vendors, creating the best flow of the day, and make sure we included everything that was important to us. She also took my inspiration photos and ideas and knocked it out of the park with decor all while staying within a reasonable budget.
I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique fairytale-esque hidden gem of a location right here in Kansas but feels like a destination venue! And if you have no idea where to start with planning like me or just want to be able to have a worry-free day, their planning services are amazing!

From the moment we stepped foot onto the property at The English Barn, we knew we had found something special. Jane greeted us with the kindest heart and immediately made us feel l...
ike family — not just another couple booking a venue. She took the time to get to know us, answered all our questions with so much patience, and made sure we felt heard every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking — timeless, elegant, and full of charm. We toured other venues after that first visit, but no matter where we went, we kept coming back to The English Barn in our minds. It was the only one that felt like us. And the best part? It’s already so beautiful that it barely needs any extra décor to feel wedding-ready.
We didn’t have the budget to use Jane for her planning or coordination services, but it was clear from the very beginning that she would’ve been amazing. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and genuine love for what she does made it obvious that anyone who books her for planning is in the very best hands. Even without hiring her in that role, she was still so helpful, organized, and involved — we felt supported the entire time.
On our wedding day, Jane and her husband Paul were nothing short of amazing. They were both hands-on, supportive, and willing to help with anything and everything to make the day run smoothly. From making sure things were set up just right to offering genuine encouragement when the nerves kicked in, they were there through it all — and it meant the world to us.
It’s rare to find a venue that’s not only visually stunning but also run by people who genuinely care about your experience. Jane and Paul pour their hearts into every single wedding, and it shows. Choosing The English Barn was one of the best decisions we made, and we’ll be forever grateful for the part they played in our favorite day.
If you’re on the fence about where to get married — go tour The English Barn. You won’t want to leave.

s. You can tell how much love has gone into the crafting of this venue! Jane was responsible for my florals as well and she just knocked it out of the park - she understood the vision I had so well from the beginning and knew just how to execute. Seeing the florals get wheeled in and set up on my wedding day was the moment I knew I really was having the wedding of my dreams. Our wedding planner Jessica was also just outstanding - both of these women were our champions throughout the entire planning process and made us feel so well taken care of. It was an absolute pleasure working with Paul for our bar package as well, especially since we had some special requests! We cannot express our gratitude for your accommodations enough! All of our guests have had such lovely things to say about our venue as well. For any bride who is looking to have a romantic, fairytale wedding, there is really only one choice and it’s the English Barn!!! Thank you SO much for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives.

nd accommodating. Jane made a special time for our daughter and her fiance to tour the venue. She is very passionate and cares deeply about all her couples. From that very first day, Jane and our wedding planner, Jessica worked tirelessly to make our daughter's vision for her wedding an incredible reality. From the touching outdoor ceremony, to the stunning flowers and tables, to the exciting reception, to the well stocked open bar, to the bubble farewell, every detail was perfect. Jessica's planning, set up, and day of coordination were all flawless. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was just able to watch our daughter's wedding come to life. It was magical. I heard from our guests for weeks after that is was A Beautiful Wedding and A Great Party! And, the best gift I received was my daughter's exclamation that it was the best day ever and she would do it all over again. Thank You, Jane, Paul, Jessica, and staff. My Heart is Full. You are the Best! Highly Recommend.

enue itself is beautiful, they have a large area for the groom and groomsmen to get ready in with a pool table. The girls loved the bridal suit, it was pretty amazing. The owners made sure we had everything we needed. Our son and now daughter in law paid for a planning and decor package and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Jane and her staff made sure we were able to enjoy the day. We paid for the Platinum bar package and the bar was amazing, our guests were very complimentary all night about the service and quality of drinks. We couldn’t be happier with choosing the English Barn and would highly recommend if you want a beautiful stress free wedding, have your wedding here.

Eighteen months prior to our daughter’s October, 2023 wedding, we began our search for the venue. We had researched and toured a few places prior to meeting with Jane Howe and tou...
ring her venue, The English Barn. During our meeting, it was apparent Jane was very genuine and passionate about providing a perfect wedding experience for all her couples. Our other venue tours and meetings left us feeling overwhelmed and nervous about planning our daughter’s wedding; however, Jane’s professional and assuring demeanor did not leave us feeling that way. After our meeting, my husband, daughter and I couldn’t imagine finding a venue or owner more exceptional than Jane and The English Barn. We canceled our other scheduled venue tours and started our wedding journey with Jane and Paul (her very sweet husband and business partner). We purchased one of Jane’s wedding planning packages, and believe me, it was worth every penny! Jane has been in this business for a long time and has vetted many vendors over the years. We relied on her recommendations for most of our vendors and we couldn’t have been happier with those choices we made. My daughter and I had multiple planning meetings with Jane, and she provided the schedule of all the critical deadlines to be met and action items to be completed leading up to the wedding. Jane took my daughter and her fiancé’s vision and dreams for their perfect wedding day, and it was truly their wishes that Jane fulfilled and made a reality! We were blown away by all the hard work and every detail it took to successfully plan, coordinate and execute our daughter’s wedding! Jane, Paul, their amazing staff, all the incredible vendors and Mother Nature came together seamlessly for the most gorgeous outdoor wedding ceremony, followed by a delicious dinner, drinks, dancing and wonderful celebration inside the breathtaking English Barn venue. The morning after the wedding, my husband and I reflected on the day, and we felt nothing but joy for how perfect the day was. Many of our guests commented that night or called and sent texts the next day commenting how beautiful and perfect the wedding and The English Barn were. It truly was PERFECT!! We can’t say enough great things about Jane, Paul and their gorgeous property and barn venue… we highly recommend The English Barn!!

would have considered. My bride has said to me “I wish that day could have lasted forever”, because it was run so smoothly. The pictures speak for themselves. They have nothing to hide aesthetically - every last detail is carefully chosen and maintained. But many wedding venues have that. IMO it’s the people who you work with that separate the venues, and the English Barn is fantastic. Generous. Thoughtful & Experienced. Dedicated.

their special day. The ceremony had been planned for over a year to be a beautiful outdoor fall wedding. However in the days leading up to her wedding including the day of the heavy rains changed our plans. Jane, the venue owner, and her team could not have been more accommodating to make all the arrangements to move the wedding inside and the wedding day turned out to more spectacular than we could have imagined.
The venue is absolutely lovely, charming, warm and inviting which was confirmed by the feedback we received from our guests. Thank you Jane for the most perfect day!!!

in all that they do and the intention behind their venue and respect for their couples, truly getting to know them, is unlike any venue we visited elsewhere. This is a venue that not only lives up to the gorgeous expectations of the property and all that they have to offer, but comes with beyond wonderful and loving venue owners who take time to get to know you, your family, and your story. Jane went above and beyond making every little detail aligned with the wedding of our dreams and we are forever grateful to her for guiding us in planning for our wedding. She touches on every little detail, making sure you have what you need, and works with an incredible team to help ensure that the operation of your day goes without a hitch. Our entire families are so thankful to Jane and Paul, as well, for their kindness, attention to detail, support, and friendship in all of it. We are so blessed and grateful to have chosen The English Barn for our wedding and for the backdrop that will shape our memories for years to come.

ly went above and beyond to make our wedding day ideas come to life! We love the renaissance era but are also quite modern in our style and The English Barn was a perfect combination for our vision. They worked with our budget and made us feel comfortable and knowledgeable through each step of the wedding planning process. When beginning our venue search, we were sticker shocked and began making a list of items included in each venue’s price. The price that you pay for The English Barn is practically all included and save you thousands in the long run! We were able to choose our own vendors, but a list was provided to us if we needed recommendations, and it helped design the day to showcase our love for one another and our love story.
The English Barn holds many dear memories for our family. We knew we were eventually going get engaged/married and we began to worry about not have a venue that we absolutely love in time for a 2023 wedding. Therefore, we secured our top choice, The English Barn, prior to even becoming engaged. We went to The English Barn for a planning meeting, and we took a tour of the venue, and my husband completely surprised me by proposing on the bridge of our wedding venue. Him and Jane planned it all out in secret and it was truly a success because I did not see it coming! Another wonderful memory that we were able to have here was my Bridal Shower. Jane and my MOH worked together to have my Bridal Shower at the venue and the details were flawless. This just goes to show that not only does The English Barn have amazing weddings, but all types of events and memories can be made there! Jane helped with the details, large and small, all to make the day(s) exactly what a girl dreams of growing up. I was blessed with my prince charming and my dream wedding fit for a princess!
The English Barn and the team will forever have a place in our family. We look forward to supporting them for many years to come.

I am the maid of honor for my best friend who is getting married at this venue. We had her bridal shower here and Jane was tremendously helpful with setup and prep work leading up...
to our little event! She even created new bouquets for us from the flowers that were left over from the wedding the night before on her own suggestion! On top of all of this, the communication was outstanding! I had my wedding at a venue in Branson and it was a beautiful location, but if I had to do it all over again, I would 1000% go through Jane at her venue due to the wonderful service I experienced in setting up this event with her help. She is so kind and it really is apparent that she loves what she does and is in it for the right reasons! The bride-to-be is constantly raving about how wonderful Jane is and the amount of decorations that they have on site that they allow you to use is just wonderful. It really shows that she has a lot less stress going into her big day than it seems like I did leading up to mine. I was nickel and dimed into EVERYTHING that I wanted on my day, including if I wanted to use an arbor that the venue was gifted from a previous couple. Jane does NOT nickel and dime her clients like that. She is absolutely wonderful and really knows how to put on a classy event!

The English Barn is not only beautiful, but the staff, especially Jane, go ABOVE AND BEYOND for their Bride and Groom. I cannot tell you how many people at my wedding said this was...
the most beautiful venue they have ever seen. Jane is not only kind, creative, thoughtful, and friendly, but she ensures all the Bride's wishes come true. I truly feel as if I have made a life long friend. I had no stress on the day of my wedding and Jane made sure of that. The venue itself boasts elegance and class and also sets the perfect picturesque scene for your big day!

Jane and Paul were amazing every step of the way for our September wedding. We were lucky they had our date still available a year out after losing our original venue due to Covid....
I am so happy we found our way to the English Barn because I could not imagine a better setting for our wedding than the beautiful castle styled barn. Jane was extremely communicative and we had many meetings about our vision and to answer any questions we had. It was a big splurge but it’s worth it for the atmosphere and all the support you receive from Paul and Jane, they really make you feel like family over the course of your planning period. We love the English Barn!

We have never been to a more gorgeous wedding. We are still reeling from the most beautiful day any of us could have asked for in the most beautiful, magical location. The Englis...
h Barn is an absolutely breathtaking place. From the gorgeous property, to the breathtaking ceilings , chandeliers, and all the details which our guest are still talking about and so much more--it was absolutely the most stunningly beautiful place to get married. Ms. Jane was so kind, and gracious enough to let us come in a day early (no extra charge) since she did not have an event so we could bring all our things in and not stress on the wedding day. We would rate this 10 but there is only 5 stars. Many blessings and continued success for this amazing venue and sweet people who run it!

The English Barn is not only absolutely gorgeous but Jane and Paul are the kindest and most caring individuals. I was able to get engaged in the Barn and also have my bridal shower...
there and both events were absolutely beautiful and magical. Jane has an amazing eye and can turn the room into a scene from a fairytale. Jane and Paul have made us feel so special and they do everything in their power to make the day/ event everything you could ever ask for and more. The property is gorgeous and allows for beautiful photos. I would book them 100 times over if I could.

My husband and I had looked at a ton of wedding venues around the Kansas City area and I was a little hesitate to go look at The English Barn since it was far from finished, but as...
soon as I walked in and met Jane and Paul I knew this was the place for us! I instantly fell in love (seriously what’s not to love about this venue—look at those pictures!) We booked with them back in Sept 2020 and I loved watching Jane’s vision come together over the year, she even allowed us to constantly visit and see the progress! We had the most beautiful wedding day on Oct 30th 2021 and it was all thanks to Jane and Paul. Jane goes above and beyond for her couples to make sure they have the best day ever down to every little detail! Jane and Paul were always there to answer all our questions and help in any way they could and they truly became like family to us! I’ve had so many guest still talk to me about how ABSOLUTELY beautiful our wedding was, from the outdoor ceremony to the cocktail hour to our last dance of the reception I could not have asked for a better day! Thank you Jane and Paul!
If you are thinking about The English Barn… set up that tour and meet Jane and Paul! I promise you won’t regret it!!

here and decor, the landscaping, and the sentimental touches. They were so welcoming and accommodating and highly professional. We appreciate Jane going above and beyond in memory of the groom’s dad. It meant so much to our family. If you want to work with someone who will treat you like royalty and feel like family, Jane is the one!

I’m not sure where to start because our daughter’s wedding at the English Barn was absolutely beautiful! It’s Thursday after the wedding and we are still getting calls, texts and ...
emails how beautiful, fun and enjoyable the wedding was! Jane and Paul want the Bride and Grooms day to be the best day ever! Jane will work with the bride to get her vision. Like she told my daughter we get no do overs so we have to do it right the first time! My daughter and her fiancé signed with them over a year ago before it was even finished, their first view and meeting was at the barn on a cement slab! They entrusted their day with Paul and Jane because they could see Jane’s vision. The craftsmanship in the barn is phenomenal! It was made by the hands of Amish men and is just gorgeous! Then Jane adds her decorating touch from her design background and the venue comes to life. The beautiful bridal sweet is so perfect for the bride and her party to get ready in. Our daughters wedding was the first to be on the back patio and it was perfect. The cross, the flowers and lanterns looked beautiful with the sunset and the bridal party. Jane had the vision and it worked out perfectly! After a year of planning and many visits to the barn I have to admit the day went too fast! It’s just such a stunning venue and good people to work with work with that I will truly miss it all!
