From the reviews
We are so thankful that we had our wedding at Sonshine Barn in June. This venue is absolutely beautiful. Our experience was everything we could have ever asked for and more, simply amazing. Anything you could think of that you could want or need for your big day, they have.
We could not recommend Sonshine Barn enough! We we're lucky enough to get married here in August of 2022 and it truly was the most magical weekend. Not only is the property so beautiful, but the entire Sonshine family is so friendly and accommodating, making sure our whole weekend was perfect.
I would 100% recommend the Sonshine Barn to anyone that will listen! The Sonshine Barn staff is amazing and they truly make you feel so comfortable! They make you feel like family! Every person from the grounds crew to the wedding planners are amazing! They are kind, passionate and so much fun!
A wonderful venue. The staff and caterers were excellent in all ways. Great organization and communication. The area for the Bride and bridesmaids was beautiful and had all the amenities to prepare. The area for the groom and groomsman was perfect.
Getting married at Sonshine Barn Wedding and Event Center
Sonshine Barn Wedding and Event Center 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.
