10 Reasons Couples Love Farm Weddings


There’s something timeless and magical about saying “I do” on a Midwest farm. Surrounded by rolling fields, big skies, starry nights, and the warmth of nature, farm weddings offer a perfect blend of rustic charm and heartfelt hospitality. Couples across the Midwest are falling in love with this setting for their wedding—and here are 10 reasons why:

1. Breathtaking Scenery

From wide-open fields to towering barns and glowing sunsets, Midwest farms offer natural backdrops that don’t need much decoration. Every unique farm venue offers something different for you and your guests to enjoy and even explore! It's easy in a farm setting for every photo to feel authentic, timeless, and be filled with beauty. Check out more info on our farm venue here!

2. Rustic Meets Elegant

Farm venues are typically more flexible and relaxed. Any style is acceptable and can adapt with the beauty of nature all around. Whether a couple dreams of a laid back, more casual celebration or a candlelit reception under chandeliers, the setting can be dressed up to look and feel more elegant or kept simple.

3. Plenty of Space for Guests

Unlike tight city venues, farms usually offer sprawling grounds with lots of space to explore. Guests can mingle, kids can play, and everyone has room to relax without feeling crowded. We have so many different options for utilizing all of our venue space, which includes 176 acres of farm land, and 8 acres of well maintained areas for you and your guests to wander. The photo opt possibilities are endless!

4. Fresh-Air Ceremonies

There’s something unforgettable about exchanging vows beneath a big Missouri sky. Outdoor ceremonies give couples the freedom to embrace nature’s beauty while keeping things personal and unique. Very little décor is needed when nature is the backdrop!

5. Charming Barn & Garden Receptions

Barns bring warmth and character to wedding receptions. Their wooden beams, twinkle lights, and cozy atmosphere create a one-of-a-kind setting that couples and guests always remember. We realize barns aren't for everyone, so we've created something special at our venue. Our Farm Hall has a full wall of windows in the front that completely makes the inside of the building have the same feel as the outside, expect it's heated and cooled! Outdoor receptions on the farm create such a romantic atmosphere too. Our favorite thing is when couples use all the areas available to them at their wedding. Everyone is happy when they're invited to explore the venue and enjoy every part of it.

6. Perfect for Every Season

Spring wildflowers, summer sunsets, fall foliage, and even the romance of a snowy winter day—farm weddings offer beauty all year long.



7. Unique Photo Opportunities

From fields of tall grass to vintage tractors and rustic barns, farms are full of picture-perfect spots that give couples a wedding album unlike any other.

8. Relaxed Atmosphere

Farms have a way of slowing things down. Couples and guests alike love the laid-back vibe where everyone feels at home, free to laugh, dance, and celebrate. This is my personal favorite part of a farm venue! If a relaxed vibe is important to you, find a farm venue near you!

9. Connection to Nature

A farm wedding is about more than a venue—it’s about being grounded in nature. The breeze, the open sky, the trees and hills, the fresh air, and the sounds of the countryside all add to the experience. Couples love the sounds of the creeks gurgling in the backdrop of their ceremonies here too.
