About

The Milestone Barn, located in Bannister, Michigan was purchased and transformed into an event barn in 2011. The owners realized that a chic barn wedding was what they wanted soon after their engagement, but the local venues available for such an event were not as plentiful as they hoped. When their own wedding plans started forming, one thing lead to another, and now they hope to bring their vision to others, while maintaining the affordability that allows everyone to enjoy a breathtaking barn wedding.

The Milestone Barn was primarily used to house cattle throughout it’s many years of service. Now, the barn serves a different purpose, housing the weddings and other “milestone” events throughout ones life. Originally 1700 sq. feet, with a second level of 800 sq. feet, the barn’s capacity has been increased with the addition of a lean to, including bathrooms. The addition has increased the versatility, while still maintaining it’s charm, as all the materials were reused from other local barns.

Whether it’s a wedding, reception, graduation party, prom, or any other gathering, The Milestone Barn can help you achieve exactly the sort of down home, country chic feeling you dreamed of.

Affordable, Accommodating and Amazing Venue

The Milestone Barn was our dream venue. Caroline was accommodating and made all of our wedding dreams come true. Caroline allowed us to come to the barn on multiple occasions to test decor and locations. Caroline helped set up and tear down on our wedding day. The barn is breathtaking and the perfect mix of modern and rustic. The price point is totally reasonable. I can’t recommend the Milestone Barn enough!

The perfect venue!

I can’t say enough great things about this venue! The barn is gorgeous, the bridal suite is to die for, there are tons of choices for ceremony location, the grounds are beautiful and the owners are extremely friendly and helpful! My wedding was absolutely perfect! My photographer could not stop taking photos and was ranting and raving about the venue, even guests have beautiful photos they took themselves! If I were to redo my wedding I would have it at the milestone barn again in a heartbeat!
