The White Barn is a wedding venue situated in Cheney, Kansas, overlooking a three-acre pond and boasting beautiful views. Custom-built for weddings and private parties, the barn possesses double-height wooden doors and expansive windows. The 5,000 square-foot venue is in a comfortable driving distance from Wichita and enjoys wonderful sunsets amidst the charming landscape. Couples are sure to feel at home at this little slice of wedding paradise.

Facilities and Capacity

A large and luxurious venue, The White Barn can comfortably seat up to 299 guests for ceremonies and receptions. Couples are welcome to start their day in the furnished Quarters, surrounded by sumptuous couches and chic decor. The dark wooden flooring and cozy lighting create a relaxed atmosphere that is sure to appeal to to-be-weds as they prepare for the day ahead. The venue offers a selection of indoor and outdoor ceremony options, such as the barn or the pond. For outdoor ceremonies, couples can make their vows by calm waters as the setting sun casts a fiery glow on the magical moment. Proceeding to cocktail hour, a sheltered patio area embellished with string lights makes an ideal location for guests to mingle and enjoy canapés. Taking the celebrations indoors, the main barn hall is fully customizable allowing couples to arrange their desired layout with ease. Newlyweds and their guests can move easily between the patio and the reception, creating a dynamic flow to the event timeline. In keeping with the aesthetic throughout, the barn is warm and enticing with contemporary elements adding to this rustic venue. Striking white walls contrast with black wooden beams, and an iron wagon-wheel chandelier hangs overhead mixing industrial and country-style decors. Every corner of this venue is beautifully designed and understated for a truly classic and modern affair.

Gorgeous Venue

I thought I had my heart set on another venue, but we decided we should go take a look at this new venue just to make sure. We booked it on the spot, and I'm so glad we did! Our wedding at The White Barn was so romantic and very reasonably priced. It rained on our wedding day so we couldn’t get married by the lake like we planned, but we were able to open up the barn door and still have that “outdoor wedding” feel. The rain backup plan was one of the reasons we felt so confident in this venue, and The White Barn really is the perfect option for anyone who wants to have an outdoor wedding in finicky Kansas. The groom and his guys enjoyed fishing at the lake beforehand!

The best experience ever

I don't know where to start other than THIS IS THE BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but what makes this place even more special are the people who own it. From day one, Amanda was so kind and helpful. She was more than patient during my two date reschedules due to Covid in 2020. Our wedding was 2 years in the making, and when the day finally came EVERYTHING was beyond perfect.
Everything went so smoothly. I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. Amanda went above and beyond with every detail from the gorgeous bridal & groomsmen suites all the way to the stunning, little decor & floral details she added. She created the most stunning bouquet for me, too!

Her husband, Branden, was so nice and helpful during rehearsal and the day of. All the staff made us feel incredibly special on our day.

Matthew played the BEST music. All of our guests told us how great the music was and how it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to.

Planning a wedding is so stressful, but Amanda and her team not only relieved all of my stress, but they also exceeded our expectations for our much-anticipated wedding day AND they did it while making us feel like family. I can't thank them enough for giving us the wedding of my dreams.

If you're looking for a wedding venue, YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. It's a one-stop shop for the best day of your life owned by a wonderful family that will forever hold a special place my heart.

Modern Barn was the Best of Both Worlds!!!

Nick and Kelli were so easy to work with and are such a fun loving couple! I knew instantly we had to have our wedding reception at The White Barn! The venue is a blank canvas for you to decorate and set up exactly how you want. I loved that flexibility and the chandelier gave off the perfect ambience!

The White Barn Review

From the moment I contacted the owner to tour this barn, I could instantly hear the genuineness in their voices. They are truly genuine people who want the best for their couples. I pulled up and immediately knew I was going to get married at this barn. It’s truly beautiful. The bridal suite is perfect. We love that the barn has the ability to have an outdoor and an indoor wedding. I had the most amazing experience having my wedding at The White Barn. Kelli and Nic were so accommodating and wanted us to have the best day ever. They answered hundreds of questions prior to the wedding and helped us navigate how to keep ourselves and our guests safe during the ever evolving Covid Pandemic. We were so honored to be the first wedding at this new venue. Vendors and guests were raving at how BEAUTIFUL the venue is. The property is gorgeous and has so many options for amazing backdrops both inside and out. If you’re looking for a venue check them out, you won’t be disappointed. We had The Best Day Ever!! (ALSO THE SUNSETS DO NOT DISAPPOINT 😍)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
