From the reviews

A new venue opening in August 2023, classic vintage barn interior housed within a modern shell. Classic looks with modern climate controlled space for your event.

Michelle and 1850 Homestead blew us away with her amazing attitude and the many amenities available. It was such a relief having this be our first visit while touring wedding venues in the area.

Where to start. Hosted our wedding and owners went above and beyond on every detail asked. Incredible venue. Received countless compliments throughout the night from guests for how beautiful the barn was. It was a perfect evening. 100% recommend!

Getting married at 1850 Homestead

1850 Homestead comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
