Nestled in the rolling green fields that surround greater Lafayette, IN, New Journey Farms is a rural wedding venue. At this venue, rustic sensibilities are seamlessly blended with chic decor for a unique twist on a barn setting. It has a serene atmosphere but is located near all of the modern facilities you could want. With space for up to 350 guests, you are invited to celebrate your love surrounded by elegance and charm.
Owned by Mike and Robin Humphrey, the idea for New Journey Farms began at a wedding reception. They began to see ways they could enhance couples’ special days, which was only fueled by helping their daughter plan her wedding. They took note of everything that influenced choosing the right setting, from location to price. With the encouragement of their new knowledge, construction on this venue began. They made sure to make it wheelchair accessible, with climate-controlled interiors for the ultimate comfort.
From its seat on 13 acres of land, New Journey Farms is easily accessible from major highways and nearby hotels. You are welcomed to celebrate both ceremony and reception here, with your choice of indoor and outdoor settings. In total, there are 8,000 square feet of available event space, including the indoor reception area of 5,400 square feet. Upstairs, you will find spacious, comfortable get-ready rooms with private bathrooms. A wheelchair-accessible suite is also available. Leading from the upper rooms to the main floor, a dramatic, modern staircase lends itself to your grand entrance. While the sun is up, the room is flooded with natural light through its tall windows. When night has started to come down, contemporary light fixtures are happy to take over and softly illuminate your celebrations. The patio and covered front porch offer an elegant space for you to mingle with your guests while you sip on a celebratory cocktail. For outdoor ceremonies, a picturesque pergola stands proudly in front of the lush green grounds that surround the property. Your caterer might enjoy the convenience of a modern staging area to skillfully prepare your meal. Included with your rental of this venue are tables, chairs, linens, and audiovisual equipment. Mike and Robin are happy to help you with event coordination and set-up.
We got married in December at New Journey Farms and the entire venue experience was perfect. They were very accommodating with multiple walk through visits. There is so much space here it made it easy not to worry about comfort. We had plenty of room for vendors, guests and the bridal party all day long. Robin & Mike were fantastic to work with and went above and beyond what any venue owner needed to do. We are so thankful for them and helping make our day perfect! Reviewed on 05-01-2024

Alexis King(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-11-2022 New Journey Farms is truly a one-of-a-kind venue. My husband and I got married at NJF on 11-18-2022 and like most, it was the best day of our lives. Picking a venue for us was one of the most important decisions in wedding planning because we knew that whatever venue we chose is what set the vision for our big day. Jared and I looked up several venues close to home on The Knot and NOTHING stuck out to us so we broadened our search and that’s when we found NJF. Robin and Mike responded to our inquiry about checking out the venue in a timely matter and were extremely flexible for when we could visit (we live an hour and a half from the venue and we both work full time, so we thought it would be impossible to schedule). As soon as we stepped foot into the venue, we knew it was the one. This venue is a blank canvas in the most beautiful way; it essentially allows you to design your dream day from scratch! There’s no tacky carpet like at banquet halls, no specific vendor list that you must pick from, and no hidden fees or hidden requirements in the contract. The bridal suite and the grooms suite were both very spacious and comfortable for us and our bridal party (along with my hair and makeup team as well). All that to say, the best part about choosing NJF is Mike and Robin. Not only did they make our planning so smooth and stress-free, but it truly felt like we had another set of parents there cheering us on. Choosing NJF was the easiest decision for us, I hope it’s just as easy for you! Reviewed on 02-12-2022

We felt completely cared for and understood. Not only that, but we could’ve had no decorations and it still would have looked beautiful because of how stunning the venue is! I so highly recommend them that I’ll be encouraging all of my friends and family to get married there just so that we can go back! Reviewed on 22-09-2022

When you book with New Journey Farms, you’re getting a lot more than just a venue. There are many other venues where you are required to provide certain things (to name a few: decor, parking attendants, people to set up/tear down, ceremony chairs, etc.).

Their facilities are extremely clean and really well maintained. Mike and Robin are incredibly kind and easy-going people. We had a great time working with them and everything was so easy!

Our venue journey began while attending a wedding reception 7 years ago. It started our dream, and gave us ideas on how to improve the overall wedding experience. Our dream gained momentum in 2018 and while trying to find the right venue for our oldest daughter’s wedding. Location, # of guests, convenience, amenities, and price were all factors that we considered. Nothing fit all of those needs—and New Journey Farms went from an idea to reality. Our newly constructed venue offers a chic interior, large private bridal suites, ADA access, and climate controlled to for all seasons.
