The Homestead Barn is an 1850’s peg barn that has been completely restored and is fully heated and air conditioned. We have an addition that is directly attached to the barn and that houses the DJ booth, the bar area, catering kitchen, commercial restrooms and suites for the bride and groom. We have a huge covered deck that has mood lighting and plenty of seating space. The bridal suite has 4 salon stations and each suite has their own restroom complete with a shower. The kitchen has a 4 tap keg cooler and ice machine. We do not charge extra for anything. All our pricing is pretty inclusive. We include a bartender, 5 wait staff, an officiant, linens, dinnerware, tables and chairs, all setup and cleanup and even include the ice! We have 2 outdoor ceremony locations - the Lakeside Pergola and the Woodside Pergola - for the main ceremony or if it rains you can use the fully furnished rustic foundation floor under the main barn which features huge beams and tons of stonework with custom uplighting. We would love to talk with you further about all that we do to make your day as stress free and perfect as possible!
My wedding was on 9/19/20 at Willow Haven. It is worth every penny! Duane and Kitty are amazing people and business owners. They go above and beyond and so many things are included when you rent this venue. You don’t have to worry about renting certain linens colors, dishes, silverware, glassware, certain staff, and most importantly, clean up! You can pick your stuff up the next day if you have to as well. They thought of all the little stressors for the day of and they take care of it all.
The venue itself is just perfectly set up and absolutely beautiful! I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony. They have a new outdoor wooded area with a massive arbor. So after the ceremony you’re able to move right into the basement for cocktail hour. You don’t have to worry about changing table settings because the upstairs was already ready for the reception.
My photos turned out stunning! You can take a photo anywhere on the property and they turned out amazing! I myself love nature photos so going down by the lake and into the woods Is highly recommended!
So I just want to say thanks to Duane and Kitty for making our day truly perfect!

As a maid of honor & soon to be bride
Through covid bride struggles. As a maid of honor, Duane and kitty are amazing. The venue is beyond gorgeous, and this couple is SO proud of the job they have done! You see these two out and about the WHOLE time tending to the guest, servicing the bride and groom non stop to make their day special and beautiful! It's a personal experience for sure!
