The Barn at Stoney Hills

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about The Barn at Stoney Hills in Cushing, MN. From start to finish, our wedding weekend was incredibly smooth, stress-free, and beyond anything we could have hoped for. The entire experience felt so intentional and well thought out, and it made our wedding weekend feel extra special and meaningful.

One of the biggest highlights was having full access to the venue from Friday morning through Sunday. That alone was a game changer. Being able to take our time setting up on Friday made such a difference—we honestly don’t know how we would have done it without that extra day. We were able to set up our reception space exactly how we envisioned it without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Every detail could be placed with care, and that peace of mind is priceless.

We used the venue for our rehearsal dinner on Friday, our wedding and reception on Saturday, and then hosted a gift opening in the barn on Sunday, which was such a perfect way to wrap up the weekend. Having everything in one place allowed us to fully enjoy each moment without worrying about travel, timing, or logistics. Staying on-site for our wedding weekend was truly incredible—it allowed us to be fully present and soak in every second rather than running around or feeling pulled in different directions.

The value for the money at The Barn at Stoney Hills is truly above and beyond. Not only do you get a stunning venue, but the barn also provides an incredible selection of decorations that couples are free to use. This saved us so much time, effort, and money. We ended up using many of their décor items for our table centerpieces, and everything fit the space beautifully. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into offering pieces that are timeless, elegant, and versatile.

The venue manager deserves special recognition. Having someone on-site who is available for any and all questions was invaluable. She truly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process and during the weekend itself. She was so helpful with directing vendors, making sure everyone knew where to go and what to do, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Everything ran smoothly because of her organization and presence.

We’ve heard so many stories from other couples about having nightmare experiences at other venues with extremely strict rules or being made to feel bad for asking questions or making requests. That was absolutely NOT the case here. Not once did we feel like our needs were inconvenient, and there was never anything negative said about any of our requests. Instead, the staff was consistently accommodating, flexible, and supportive, which made us feel respected and truly cared for throughout the entire process.

Communication leading up to the wedding was also outstanding. Joni and the barn team were incredibly professional, always responding quickly and thoroughly to emails and questions. They never once made us feel like we were bothering them, and every question was answered in depth. They were also so accommodating with specific requests and details, always making sure we felt confident and prepared. We never felt left wondering about anything, which made planning so much less stressful.

The property itself is absolutely beautiful, and our wedding day ended up being a perfect, dreamy September day. The setting, the barn, the surrounding 400 acre landscape—it all came together to create a magical atmosphere that we and our guests will never forget. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how smoothly the entire weekend flowed.

This venue was truly an absolute dream, and we feel so grateful to have celebrated such an important weekend of our lives at The Barn at Stoney Hills. If you’re looking for a place that is beautiful, well managed, flexible, and genuinely cares about their couples, this is it. We would choose this venue over and over again without hesitation.

We can't express our gratitude enough for how absolutely perfect our wedding weekend was. The owner's are definitely living out their purpose and it shows in the personalized care and communication. We will forever recommend The Barn at Stoney Hills to all engaged couples looking for a venue. We received so many compliments during and after our wedding, most saying they had never seen anything like this! This venue allows you to fully enjoy your wedding weekend, rather than cramming it into a 12 hour rental period like most other venues. Communication leading up to the wedding day was clear and very responsive. The day of set up we were provided with extra communication and resources as well. Above all else this venue values marriage in the eyes of God, and it was felt throughout all spaces of the venue - another component not felt or emphasized at most venues. My husband and I feel so blessed to have found The Barn at Stoney Hills, and met the owners who are so incredibly kind. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

We had such an incredible experience with The Barn at Stoney Hills. Their team is professional, communicate well, and made sure we had everything we needed to make our wedding day so special. We also loved the ability to do a little DIY-ing, which made Stoney Hills feel like so much greater value than some of the other venues that we toured. Overall, cannot recommend them enough!

The Barn at Stoney Hills was amazing from the day we took a tour with Joni to Sunday as we drove off from our wedding! Everything about the venue fit exactly what we were looking for. The space and décor availability allowed us to tailor the style with many options to use from Stoney Hills, and we could add our personal touch to go beyond. The entire venue has been put together to offer the most flexibility we could find, we were able to bring in food/drink/DJ and other vendors that fit our wedding. The staff and set up from Stoney Hills made everything very easy on arrival for both us and the vendors to have a dedicated space. The grounds provided a perfect setup and accommodated our guest to casually enjoy the day with shade, seats, tables, fire at night, and inside with AC. We were able to shift around 165 guest/s to and from the venue, ceremony site, happy hour, and inside for dinner with ease along with being able to have everything setup inside prior to people entering. Again, the space was exceptional in how we could set up the main floor and upstairs with seating and space for catering, dance floor, etc. The kitchen space was everything our catering team needed for the wedding and the kitchen also provided us a great spot for us to prepare and setup for a Fri night Grooms dinner. The bar area and provided supplies helped our bar staff operate all night with ease and minimal lines. Lastly the house and Bride/Groom suite was one of the most unique things about Stoney Hills, having the entire wedding party join us for the weekend made our celebration amazing, not only did we get to spend the entire weekend celebrating in one place together. We didn’t have to include any additional groom’s dinner cost/bookings or wedding group transportation/lodging. Everything from the weekend was amazing and would highly recommend The Barn at Stoney Hills to anyone!

Joni and the entire Barn at Stoney Hills team were absolutely incredible. The venue truly felt like a home away from home; a beautiful weekend retreat surrounded by the people we love most. It was everything we hoped for and more. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

We truly were able to have our dream wedding weekend at The Barn at Stoney Hills! Joni and Randy are wonderful to work with and so accommodating. We love them! 

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue. From start to finish, the communication with Joni was absolutely fantastic—clear, responsive, and genuinely helpful, which made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free.

The property itself is absolutely stunning and very well maintained. Having access to the venue the night before our wedding was a huge bonus and allowed us to set up and truly enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. The on-site farmhouse was another highlight—comfortable and convenient for our stay.

Being able to clean up the following day was incredibly helpful and gave us peace of mind to fully soak in the celebration. Every detail of the property reflects how well cared for it is, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run space with thoughtful accommodations.

This venue was our first and only one we toured and went with! We have attenended many weddings & Can’t put in words how beautiful the property is, along with how amazing the staff and owners are. We had our dream wedding here and they catered to our special requests and ideas. The extras that come with this property really put an excellent touch on it. From wedding decor, to a place for your large families to sleep on site, this sets this venue apart from any others out there. Joni & Randy run a top notch operation! If we had a do over, we would do it here again!

The Barn at Stoney Hills venue is the perfect place for a modern rustic themed wedding. We had our wedding here July 12, 2025 and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The site is absolutely gorgeous and it really felt luxurious! Joni and her team are absolute wonderful people and they do a great job with the venue and making sure our wedding was perfect. Joni also offers really great wedding vendor recommendations that we took advantage of! Our wedding truly felt like a dream!! One of the things we loved the most about The Barn at Stoney Hills was that we got to rent the venue for a whole weekend (Friday-Sunday). This aloud us to have our grooms dinner on site the night before the wedding and we got to spend quality time with all of our friends and family. The house on site is perfect for large wedding party’s to stay the night and not have to worry about getting hotel rooms. I am so thankful that we had our wedding at The Barn at Stoney Hills.
