Gorgeous venue that provides stunning pics and an excellent wedding experience

Ok, if you are looking for a really gorgeous, rustic, but yet oh so beautiful venue then I can HIGHLY recommend the Big White Barn in Decatur, Texas. It can hold up to 200 guests. There’s availability for both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies and the venue looks stunning in the pics, which I have also added for this review.

Faith Adams, the venue manager was also incredibly helpful in providing us with tried-and-true vendors in that area who could do the catering, bartending, wedding cake preparation, hair and make-up, DJ’s, photography and videography. She was consistently responsive and so incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and addressing all of our concerns. I don’t think we could have done this wedding without her guidance and expertise.

The venue is also very reasonably priced for the number of guests it can hold. Throughout the entire night out guests consistently told us how amazing the venue was. It truly was perfect for us, and I would recommend Faith Adams and the Big White Barn 1000 times over.

Good luck to all the couples tying the knot or just needing a super cool venue to hold a celebration. Give Faith a call or check it out and I hope it is as special for you as it was for us.

The perfect wedding!

Our wedding was on November 9th, 2022 and couldn't have been more perfect! The venue itself was really easy to find when heading to it. We also utilized their open houses to help us further plan our decor and placement of tables, chairs, and decor.
The indoor and outdoor area we're by far large enough to hold everyone comfortably. We utilized all 3 spaces with an outdoor ceremony, the indoor for the bar/reception, and the covered patio for dancing the night away! They also have a fire pit and a play ground area that the kids seemed to love!
The owners were amazing at helping as well! They answered all of our questions fully in a timely manor, which is a huge plus when choosing vendors!

More time for your buck

Everything was absolutely gorgeous. I just wish we had more time to soak it all in. If I could do it over, I would have paid extra for set up.
