The Sonshine Barn is an incredible venue! Words can not even describe how much we enjoyed our wedding and the days leading up to it. It was awesome to be able to decorate the barn before the wedding and have the luxurious Farmhouse to relax in and visit with family. On our day everything went so flawlessly! A special thanks to Amber and Toree! They were so kind and on top of every little detail and had a smile on their faces the entire time! The fields and trees surrounding the barn make for the most magical pictures! The barn is the perfect size and set up for a beautiful wedding! So much love and thought was clearly put into every little detail of this venue and when you are here you can really feel it! Our day was absolutely perfect! Truly an amazing to start to our life together! We will forever treasure our memories we made at Sonshine Barn!!

Highly recommend!
This venue was perfect. The barn, farmhouse, and clubhouse had everything we needed for an amazing wedding weekend. All of our guests raved about how beautiful and fun the venue was too. Not to mention, the staff is wonderful. Veronica did an amazing job with decorations- she captured my vision perfectly and was so nice. Amber was very organized and took so much stress of our shoulders as our “day of coordinator”. She was always available for questions while planning and kept our wedding day going smoothly!
