The Barn 1880: Historic Venue

09/15/2024

We are *beyond* excited to celebrate Hannah & Ryan on September 21, 2024, as they become our very first outdoor wedding at The Barn 1880! These two were among the first couples to tour the barn while we were still under construction, and we are so thankful they trusted us from the beginning. Now, they’ll be tying the knot in just a few days🥂

Their love for detail shines through every aspect of their big day, from handcrafting their beautiful arbor (which they’ll even brand during their unity ceremony) to planning every moment to create an unforgettable experience for their family and friends.

Hannah & Ryan, you already feel like family to us, and we can't wait to see your vision come to life. It’s going to be a truly sweet and special day! 💖

It was an honor to be the chosen venue for this edition. It was a treat to have Saucy's Barnyard BBQ & Catering at The Barn 1880: Historic Venue again! Let’s start a petition for Jonathon Scroggs - he needs a street named after him now - he has built something really special for our community. Who’s with me? 😎

To find an unusual venue for food, fun and hospitality, drive north from Warsaw on Husky Trail (turns into North CR 100E) and turn right into The Barn 1880 Historic Venue, at 2076 N. 100E.

Google reminded me that two years ago today, I was “pretending” to help Jon with some basic plumbing at what would become The Barn 1880: Historic Venue. And now… wow…What a Week!

It’s been an incredible and emotional few days here at The Barn 1880.

Thursday, we had the joy of hosting a beautiful micro wedding—intimate, heartfelt, and full of love.

Friday, we gathered with Saucy’s and our Optimist friends for a special Diners and Dives lunch, filled with good food and even better company. Then our friends at the Kosciusko Chamber stopped by to record a video promo.

Saturday brought the vibrant energy of our Maker & Merchant Market, showcasing so many talented local vendors. It is a privilege to meet so many creative entrepreneurs and a delight to see this community come out to support them. The market was followed by a Sweet 16 birthday celebration that truly lit up the night!

Today, we are feeling especially honored and reflective, as we host a military send-off for one of my former students. Tomorrow, this brave young man heads to boot camp, answering the call to serve our country. Thank you!

It’s moments like these that make us truly thankful (exhausted…but truly thankful)!
