Backroad Barn & Gardens is a wedding venue in Davis, Illinois marked by its charm and character. Elopements, receptions, ceremonies, and engagement parties are also welcome in this country chic setting.

Facilities and Capacities

Backroad Barn & Gardens sits on 10 acres of rustic charm and is home to several distinct sites, including the old wooden grain bin, now, the "distillery bar" along with a powder room and gentleman's lounge. The pondless waterfall framed by the patio and beautiful blossoms gives rise to plenty of opportunities for enchanting photographs. On the other hand, the gardens invite your guests to take in all that Mother Nature has to offer, while you steal a few moments with your new spouse. Alternatively, you and your loved ones can gather on the outside deck to toast to new beginnings. You could also make the most of the original wood dance floor or the fire pit, both of which come with seating. A small field house featuring a basketball hoop will help keep the little ones occupied allowing the adults to fully partake in the celebrations. There is a get-ready suite as well as modern restroom facilities on the property for added comfort.

Services Offered

Backroad Barn & Gardens has been in the family for three generations. Once a home to horses and cattle, this venue is now setting the standard for elegant rustic weddings. In alignment with this mission, tables, chairs, lighting, and centerpieces can be provided for the occasion. You also get to enjoy complimentary use of rustic props such as wine barrels and milk cans for whatever you need them for. An indoor bar is also open to make merry and memories in equal measure. Additionally, the venue is wheelchair accessible and has ample space for parking.

We also offer an Airbnb on site that can accommodate up to 12 people.

Exactly What We Dreamed Of!

When we started the search for a wedding venue, we were quickly overwhelmed by so many options that weren't at all what we were looking for - too corporate, fake, canned... Once we found Backroad Barn and Gardens, our hearts were set and I am happy to say that our wedding turned out to be exactly what we had in mind. Jane and David built BBG with plenty of initiative, love, and dedication to both the history and legacy of their family and property. Their stewardship and passion made our wedding feel personal, intimate, and most importantly, our own! It had the personal and intimate feel that we desired for ourselves and our guests. Our hosts treated us so kindly and it was truly a highlight of our event to get to work with such lovely people! I wish I could relive the day!

The perfect venue for our rustic wedding!

This venue has it all! Beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, a gorgeous reception barn, a cozy Airbnb/bridal suite, and outstanding midwestern views for incredible photo opportunities! The Rieman Family are so easy to work with and could not have been a greater help in making our vision come to life! I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a rustic yet elegant space to celebrate their big day! 🤍
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
