You need to have your wedding here

We got married in June and to this day we cannot get over the beautiful venue. Kelly was a pleasure to work with. She was informative about the whole planning process from beginning to end and made sure that our wedding day went smoothly. We visited the barn a couple of times throughout our planning and we noticed the grounds were well-maintained each time. There are plenty of places to be photographed. I highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for their wedding.

Amazing Venue!

Bluestem was an incredibly beautiful venue for our wedding! The entire venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Kelly was fantastic in helping the day run smooth and everything leading up to our wedding. She did everything she could to make our day perfect and we are so grateful for her. The rustic look was just what we were looking for and our guests genuinely enjoyed their night. We got so many compliments from family and friends and our day was absolutely perfect all because of Bluestem. Highly recommend this venue!
