Perfect Venue!!

We couldn’t of selected a better venue to fit our wedding. It was the best option for us. Not only was the octagonal barn stunning, the museum has so many places to take wedding photos. The Irish Farm has a stone bridge and we took our first look photos and wedding party photos there! The staff was on point and was there to help any way possible!! My husband and I would recommend this venue to anyone!

Beautiful, natural venue

We had our ceremony and reception at the Octagonal Barn. Cost was very reasonable for this area and staff is very helpful and professional. The venue and its surroundings offer lots of room for you to be creative or embrace the natural beauty. The venue coordinator, Erin, was very helpful when it came to figuring out the floor plan, coordinating rentals and showing us how others had decorated. She was very responsive and present on the wedding day. Whatever we needed, she was on it!

The Octagonal Barn was the perfect setting for my daughter's recent wedding. The weather cooperated (perfect for a June wedding) so the ceremony and cocktail hour could be held outdoors. The staff was helpful, answered all questions in a timely manner, and let us decorate the barn to the couple's liking. Also, we were able to inexpensively rent a golf cart, for those who needed assistance, in moving from the amphitheater to the barn or parking lot. We were so pleased with the setting and heard so many positive comments from the guests.

I had my reception in the Octagonal Barn and it was so beautiful. I'm so glad I found this place and that it was a reasonable price.

The frontier Culture Museum made for a beautiful location for my April wedding! Although it poured the rain and we had to reevaluate our wedding ceremony. I think they adjusted to our Rain plan beautifully. They were easy to work with and made my wedding day special. It is also nice the pavilion came with chairs and tables. Kerri was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Kerri the event coordinator was very helpful and responsive through this process of planing our wedding. She answered every question we had and had helpful tips! The staff checked on us during the wedding but not intrusively and gave us everything we needed. This is a great venue for those who are into DIY. We transformed the barn into what we wanted. You can't beat the price!

We chose the Octagonal Barn at the Frontier Culture Museum for our reception because we were excited by the rustic look, beautiful surroundings, and the blank canvas of the space that we could decorate. We were also thrilled not to have to rent chairs and tables. The staff was incredibly accommodating from our tour to the day of help. We have no regrets about this venue and couldn't believe we could afford it for our budget wedding. I whole heartedly recommend them!
