The Barn at Sioux-Monti

Ok, girls, dream with me for a sec 👇🏼

WHAT IF we treated wedding planning more like a cozy, beautiful dinner party? A guest list made up of the people who really matter, simple decor that speaks to your style, and intentional details that hit just right. It’s not about doing it all—it’s about doing what’s true to you.

Wedding planning is a full-time job layered on top of your already busy life, and the pressure of "perfect" can be a lot. But here’s the thing—your wedding day should feel like a sigh of relief, a chance to slow down and truly enjoy what you’ve worked so hard to create.

At Sioux-Monti, we want to be the place where time stands still. A place where you can slow down, relax, and savor every second of your private wedding weekend with those who matter most. 🌿✨

Inquire today and start planning your dream weekend wedding at our Northern Indiana venue.
