President
I’m Angie Prickel — wife to Randy since 1990, proud mom of two incredible sons, and the heart behind The Prickel Barn. Alongside my husband, I’ve had the blessing of building our venue on Christian values, creating a space where families can gather, celebrate, and make memories that last a lifetime.
I’m passionate about people and pour that into everything I do — whether it’s designing new ideas, growing our businesses, or helping each bride’s vision come to life. Organization and planning bring me joy, but what I love most is watching those final details transform into a celebration filled with love and meaning.
For me, The Prickel Barn isn’t just a business — it’s a calling. Every wedding and event is an opportunity to share in the lives of others, and it’s an honor I never take for granted. Let’s make your special day one to truly remember!

We loved the Prickel Barn and the amazing acreage and building ( including the beautiful chandeliers ) of the venue with the multiple options for ceremony and reception! The abili...
ty to have all photos for engagement and the rehearsal all in one place and the ability to decorate the day prior to the wedding were amazing.
With that said, I will say prior to booking this venue seemed to be our perfect fit; However, there were some hiccups per say that could have been avoided. To start prior to booking and after booking we would text Angie confirming our names and date of our event to schedule meetings or visits this is when it became a bit disorganized where she would forget who we were our date etc which we had told her prior when scheduling a meeting/visit each time, no big deal happy to remind but still felt a little off. The next was we had been made aware she had a wedding the Friday before ours ( which was Saturday) not a problem as it was in a different building, but she seemed to be a bit overwhelmed and would keep confirming our guest count which including even vendors was under the 200 even under 150 for the package we paid as 14 days before the wedding we went to fill out the form necessary to confirm tables etc for the event we did meet with her for a question on how she wanted those confirmed as we were doing kings tables. As we informed her of requesting 64 banquet tables ( included with no limit listed on contract) she became a bit frustrated
after some back and forth of how i only wanted 6 to 8 guests per king table she informed us for her inventory she only had 55 banquet tables which she needed for both weddings we advised we would readjust and try to make it within it but she did keep insisting on 12 per kings table to which i did not agree. i understand she needed tables for both weddings. it still felt she was guilting me to do it a specific way telling me itd look like people didnt show, i believe that should be my problem at the end of the day. We filled out the form for the tables we wanted listing what each table would be for and giving her freedom to set up how she recommended. she did keep coming back with questions some repetitive which became stressful for me. 3 days before the date she told me i didnt need a table for what i was asking to which i called explained and asked we get all questions out of the way she did say she was trying to help but it felt rude to tell me no you dont need a table for that when technically i didnt but i wanted that table for the water and lemonade for kids etc that werent drinking. in the end i got what i wanted anyway.
The last thing was they did clean up chairs while we were taking photos after the ceremony which felt rude as it was while we were doing photos. The same with the reception as we were still celebrating ( which we had until 1130 and they were cleaning before this ) because of this we stayed longer packed up a lot so we didnt have to come back as early the next day. It just felt rushed and made me a little sad as i wish they would have waited till we were done for the night.
Overall it is breathtaking venue with tons of potential. I will say i do recommend to have multiple meetings, expectations etc in the contract to avoid disorganization & last minute questions. By doing this i believe it would have been 100% perfect. Again I recommend this venue and id do it again just with a few extra steps to make it smooth for everyone involved.

Hello Ashley,
We hope you enjoyed your visit at the barn, we would like to clarify that t...
here is a sliding door that is able to be locked between both the bride and grooms rooms at the descression of the bride and groom. If these were left unlocked that would allow people to have access to those spaces but 99% of the time they do lock those to keep that space shut off to the public and private. We are sorry if that was not the case last week. Have a blessed day.

Such a beautiful venue!! All of our guests were extremely impressed and they kept mentioning over and over again how gorgeous and stunning they found the Prickel Barn. There is ple...
nty of room in the beautiful dressing area to have hair and makeup done, to relax and have pictures taken. The exterior and interior are both absolutely breathtaking! Our indoor wedding ceremony was perfect and the cross and large stage incorporated the feeling of being in a church setting. It was everything we could have wished for and more! It was a pleasure working with the owner, Angie, as well as her wonderful staff. Our wedding day at the Prickel Barn exceeded our expectations.

absolutely beautiful! Throughout the entire process, the owners were more than accommodating on all levels. They were such a pleasure to work with and made us feel like family. Their recommendations were spot on especially when it came to the coordinator Ro!! She brought down the house the night of the wedding and was so much fun to work with. She was detailed, extremely organized and made the rehearsal and wedding night worry free!
I cannot say enough good about Angie and Randy! Randy even offered such kind and comforting words to our daughter when it was time for her to walk down the aisle and she was a nervous wreck! He made her feel so much more at ease!

5/5 Stars!!!!
I'm not even sure where to begin when describing my experience with The Prickel Barn and the Prickel family. Having a wedding during a pandemic is hard enough, but ...
I believe that after planning about three weddings or so during that time, I was truly meant to get married at the Prickel Barn. Not only was Angie the most gracious host, but the venue was absolutely stunning. The price included set up and breakdown the next day, which I can say is a huge help. There is nothing worse than having to clean the venue the night of the wedding or the next morning. Also included was the shuttle service for the guests and free parking, a BREATHTAKING venue (I'm serious guys, it's gorgeous) and you get the barn for the entire weekend. It's so nice to be able to go the night before to set up pictures, place signs and decorate. Plus, anything you leave there the night of, you an come pick it up the next day! They truly made this entire process so easy. In fact, if you want to make your life even easier, I would 100% recommend renting center pieces, various signs, flower arrangements, etc. It saves so much time, money and they are stunning! Plus, it was nice not having to worry about worry about picking those things up the next day. The bridal and groomsmen's suite are awesome and HUGE. So nice to have a space dedicated to both parties that could actually accommodate our large bridal part (17). Also, on a side note, the landscape and grounds make for incredible pictures! They even have a little swing in the back on this massive/beautiful oak tree.
Overall, working with Angie was the best. She promptly answered all my questions and genuinely seemed to care about making my wedding day perfect. She went above and beyond what we paid for and I couldn't recommend this venue enough. I'm telling you all, it's worth EVERY FREAKING PENNY. You won't regret getting married at this beautiful location. She takes care of her people and will go above and beyond to try to accommodate special requests. She's more than a fair business woman and I feel really good that I was able to help a great small business during this time. God Bless!

Where do I even begin?!
If you are looking for a venue that has the Lord as its focus, that is elegantly beautiful and has a modern country feel, then the Prickel Barn is just the...
place!
Angie & Randy Prickel are such an outgoing & Godly couple! They have been nothing short of spectacular to work with. They’re very accommodating and always responded in a timely fashion. We had a couple of challenges the day before the wedding and they helped us overcome them with such ease. At the end of our wedding night, Angie & Randy prayed with and over us. I am so happy to say that they truly have also become life long friends!!
I couldn’t imagine having my special day anywhere else. The Prickel Barn helped to make it that much more perfect. I would highly recommend this venue for ANY event!

From the moment we saw the Prickel Barn, we knew we had to have our wedding there. The Prickel Barn is unlike any other barn. It is truly beautiful in the way it reflects the love ...
of The Lord throughout. Angie and her staff were amazing to work with throughout the process. They were very helpful and responsive to messages. They allowed us to implement special moments into our wedding such as a dove release to honor my grandma and a lantern release to finish the night. Our day would not have been as wonderful without having it at the Prickel Barn. We had many out of town guests who were completely blown away by the beauty not only of the barn, but also by the grounds of the barn. Thank you to everyone at the Prickel Barn for making our day so special. I highly recommend the Prickel Barn 💗

Wow! All I can say is “wow” when it comes to this venue. Not only is this an absolutely beautiful place to be privileged enough to get married in, but the owners are such a joy to ...
work with. This venue had everything I wanted and more. The layout is absolutely stunning, there is even a bridal and groomsmen suite for the wedding party. The views are breath taking and everything we ever wanted for our pictures.
Thank you Angie, Stormy, Bradley, and staff, for making our day as magical as it was. This place is nothing short of amazing!

We had an amazing experience at the Prickle Barn. We had looked at other venues but when I took my daughter and her fiance' to the Prickle Barn, it was a done deal. As soon as we...
walked in, they both said "we want this place".
Everything was set up just as we had asked. Angie and her team were awesome to work with. They had staff on hand the night of the wedding to work with our wedding planner to make sure all ran smoothly. It went off perfectly.
The venue is beyond beautiful. The setting is gorgeous.
To have it all under one roof (ceremony & reception) is the best deal. It stormed during the reception but we couldn't even tell with the party going on. Angie had a driver there at the door to chauffeur guests back to their vehicles in the rain.
If your plan is to have the most amazing wedding for your daughter, this is the place.
Angie has the barn decorated quite nicely. However, there is PLENTY of room to add your own touch.
Thanks Angie for allowing us to make our daughter's dream come true.

Not only does this venue speak for itself with its outstanding beauty. But the people who run it are a true testament to God's work and love. I was fortunate enough to get married ...
in this gorgeous place and was able to make a life long friend. Angie made sure everything I needed was fulfilled. She even came by the morning of the see me and my daughter as we got ready. To see her have tears in her eyes as she seen us and hugged us, made me realize how much she genuinely cares, and how much heart and souls she puts in her work. What business owner does that? I had not met this family until the day we walked into the Barn for a tour. After that meeting, I gained a venue and a friend. Through all the wedding planning Angie and her devoted team answered all my questions, helped me in any way possible, shoot she even gave me life advice one day when I wrote her overwhelmed. This business was more than a business to us. It was a true experience. I am so unbelievably blessed to have chosen to get married here. I couldn't recommend this place enough. There's so much love here, so much heart that the Prickel Barn incorporates in everything they do. If you're looking for a place to get married, please consider this. Because I would be willing to bet, once you tour the barn and meet the loving team, you will feel right at home. Just meet them, take a tour, consider getting more than a venue. Get an experience that will mean the world to you on your big day. Thank you again Angie for all the love you showed my family. Thank you for giving the world a beautiful venue and a wonderfully crafted experience.

Buyer beware--- changing terms of the contract is not cool. To keep this venue we had to come up with $6k six months early! So for this reason we are now out $2300 of a non-refund...
able deposit, and have no venue. Bad business, and word travels fast in this area!
