Built in 1930 to replace the original barn lost to fire, The Brick Barn has been the soul of our farm for generations. It has sheltered dairy cows, sturdy workhorses, and more than a few mischievous farm kittens over the years.

What started as a simple restoration project quickly became James’s passion—a labor of love dedicated to preserving his family’s legacy and a slice of Iowa’s farming heritage, even as the city edges closer. Every brick, beam, and board holds a story, lovingly restored to honor the past while welcoming the future.

Our family has poured our hearts into this space, and the stunning renovation was designed by our talented son-in-law, Eric Wessels.

Step into the loft, where elegant chandeliers cast a warm glow against rustic brick walls and an exposed tin roof, creating a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere.

We want your experience at The Brick Barn to be as magical as you’ve imagined. Have a special idea in mind? Just ask—we’ll do everything we can to bring your vision to life!

I highly recommend this venue and doing the weekend package! We just celebrated our wedding here a few weeks ago and I can't rate this venue high enough! We fell in love with the venue online and even more when we saw it during our tour.

Planning with Kady was amazing. She was so helpful and very responsive. She answered ALL my questions in a timely manner. She even helped us keep track of our outside vendor paperwork that was needed.

The weekend of Kady and her mom popped in and out a few times and were so helpful. It was so much more than I expected and I was grateful for their help, especially with hanging up our picture that fell ;).

With married in July the weather can be so hot. We were blessed with amazing weather (83°) but the barn's AC was well controlled. It was very comfortable and we had no complaints from guests.

I could go on about all the compliments from our family and friends about the venue but I'll keep the review short.
