About

Emma Creek Barn is a beautiful solid wood wedding barn set back in the trees in rural Hesston, Kansas. The barn features large, rough-cut timber sourced from true Amish craftspeople. They used Eastern white pine, presenting a beautiful, natural look to the entire space. The floor is made of concrete and is ideal for parties wishing to dance the night away. Emma Creek Barn also has a full kitchen, which is available for use, and his and hers restrooms. On the west side of the barn, there is a covered deck that faces a flowing creek. This setting is a serene and inviting spot for couples and guests alike.

Facilities and Capacity

At Emma Creek Barn, a ceremony can be held indoors or outdoors. If you select to hold the ceremony outdoors, the attendees can move indoors for the reception, creating an easy transition into the night's event. Both ends of the barn feature sliding doors that can be left open to encourage mingling between your guests. Emma Creek Barn can comfortably fit up to 200 people but allows 250 within the space in total. Alcohol is permitted with only a few rules to adhere to.

Services Offered

Emma Creek Barn is surrounded by lovely vegetation year-round. The land around the barn features trees, grasses, and flowers. Inside the barn, the original hayloft door, a relic from the 1930s, mimics a stained glass window, creating a great talking point for guests. Emma Creek Barn is happy to offer services to help make your day as perfect as possible within this beautiful space. They encourage coordinating a chat to discuss what they can do to make your wedding ceremony and reception a dream come true.

Wonderful!!

Emma Creek Barn is such a beautiful venue and the owner, Josh, is so helpful and kind! We were a "Covid couple" and he moved our date, no questions asked. The night before he was out helping us move things and decorating, and the day of he was wonderful helping with trash, and clean up at the end of the night.

Stoppel Wedding

The Hastings are absolutely amazing and were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They even recommended our bartender, who was phenomenal. They regularly checked in with us leading up to the big day and were a huge help on the day of the wedding itself. We truly couldn’t recommend them more.

Lovely Venue and Owners

I cannot recommend Emma Creek Barn enough to anyone looking to get married! It is such a beautiful barn with lovely scenery from intricate landscaping to large leafy trees surrounding the barn. The inside hardly needs decoration with gorgeous wood beams, a loft, built in bar/kitchen, and pavilion just right out back. I was so impressed with the value of this venue. Josh and Natasha are very upfront with costs, giving us a break down on our first meeting with no hidden fees. They are very timely communicators and helped us from start to finish, assisting with set up, directing guests, helping out during the reception, and helping us clean up. They were so kind throughout the entire process.
The venue held around 200 people as it was a cold night in November. We were hoping to use the pavilion for seating and the dance but had no problem fitting everyone inside. We stayed perfectly warm the whole evening, even with below freezing temperatures.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue inside and out and honest, kind, and helpful owners, and a venue that does not break the bank, Emma Creek Barn is the place!

Saying “I do” here on November 22 was an absolute dream. The venue is stunning in every way, and Natasha and Josh made us feel supported, relaxed, and excited throughout the entire process. Every detail felt thoughtful and seamless, and the atmosphere was truly magical. Our guests are still raving about how stunning everything was.

Amazing venue!!

Josh and Natasha were SUPER helpful during the entire process. When we reached out to schedule a tour of the venue, they were so quick to respond and get us scheduled for the tour. They have many different options to choose from in terms of add ons, such as microphones, table cloths, etc. Any time I had a question, I would text and they’d respond quickly as well with answers that answered all my questions! Josh and Natasha checked in often when setting up to see if we needed anything or how they could help. They helped set up and complimented and gave ideas where needed. We also rented out the cabin on site, which was super helpful. We had a few questions about the cabin and they were quick to help. The day of the wedding, they were there to ensure everything ran smoothly as well! We had roughly 180 people at our wedding, which was tight, but we made it work. I recommend Emma Creek Barn to everyone I know who has recently got engaged!

The Stenzel’s wedding review with the Emma creek barn

Ever since I’ve been little, living only a few miles away I always used to drive past the barn because of how beautiful it was! Come to find out just a few years ago it was a venue. It was the perfect match for me and my husbands country roots, so we couldn’t have gone with any place else. Josh be Natasha were wonderful to work with and we couldn’t be more happy with how our day turned out! Even if bad weather would have happened the venue could have made anything look aesthetic regardless if it was indoor, outdoor or on the pavilion! Although rain kept us from utilizing the beautiful bridge over the creek we wouldn’t change how perfect our day was, so thank you! 🥰
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
