A beautiful and picturesque setting
Located in Princeton, IL, The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens is a delightful barn and farm wedding venue. Established in 1987, this unique location was previously a destination botanical garden center.

These comfortable rooms have everything needed to help you relax and prepare in style. From there, you can say your vows amongst nature on the well-kept, green lawn with all your loved ones looking on. To make things even better, the venue has a gorgeous wooden arch, which will make for stand-out pictures of your union. Guests can enjoy the cocktail hour on the covered patio, followed by dinner and dancing in The Barn, a rustic yet elegant space. Up to 350 people can be accommodated at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens, ensuring that all your nearest and dearest can be in attendance. Photo opportunities abound in the unique setting that is Hornbaker Gardens, including the two-acre native Illinois prairie.

I am so thankful for the entire team at Hornbaker Gardens! Having worked with them both professionally in the past and as a recent 2023 bride, they are truly the epitome of respect, kindness, elegance, and so much more! Lindsay and her team made all of the difference on my big day- I did not have to worry about a thing! Everything was clearly communicated and expectations were laid out before hand-if I had any questions, Lindsay would answer in a text or email at any point of the day or night. You will not regret having your wedding here; the venue and the grounds itself is so beautiful, but the crew here truly make your big day special and run as smoothly as possible. So a big thank you to the entire Hornbaker family, I love ya'll and cannot thank you enough!!

My husband and I were thrilled with everything Hornbaker had to offer us from the moment we stepped foot into the beautiful barn for a tour to the last dance of the night! Lindsay was always kind to answer all of our questions with that beautiful smile on her face. She made sure to check in with us at several points during the planning process; We even brought our parents to see the venue after the initial tour. The facilities like the bridal suites were the perfect size for our family and friends getting ready, and the bar was well stocked! We were overwhelmingly impressed with the effort and care her staff put into helping us throughout the night, especially the end with cleaning up. One of my favorite parts of the night was taking pictures at sunset over by the wildflower field. The property has so much to offer for photography opportunities. All of my guests have been giving us exceptional feedback about the facilities, especially the bonfire option. I highly recommend adding this to your evening! If I could do it all again at Hornbaker, I wouldn't change a thing!

We got married at the The Barn in January of 2023 and could not have asked for a more perfect venue for both our wedding and reception. While the grounds are absolutely beautiful regardless of the time of year, one of the main selling points for us was working with Lindsay. The first time we visited and met her I knew she would be incredibly helpful through all the phases of planning and the day of our wedding - and she did not disappoint! From her recommendations on vendors, quick turnaround time on any and all questions, and her willingness to jump in and take care of whatever was needed the day of, she was an integral part of our wedding! The rest of the staff at The Barn is top notch, too! Since we had both our ceremony and reception in the main room, they had to convert the space immediately following the ceremony and they had it done in no time. Lindsay assured us it would be quick and painless, but they far surpassed our expectations! If you are looking for a wedding venue, I could not begin to recommend The Barn enough. We received so many compliments from our guests!

Lindsay and her team are fantastic!! Lindsay was the one we worked with through the process of picking a venue and she was so nice to work with and even let us visit the venue more than once before we made our final decision! Day of the wedding, I was having some nerves as most women do on their wedding day and the staff was very kind and courteous when I asked to help them sweep the floors (cleaning is my coping mechanism). The day went smoothly and beautifully and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue and a better team of people to help the day go by smoothly!

I will never be able to put into words how amazing our day was all thanks to Lindsay and the staff at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens. Not only is the barn absolutely beautiful from top to bottom but Lindsay and the staff went out of their way to make sure every aspect of our day was perfect. Throughout the planning process Lindsay was answering my phone calls and texts no matter what time of day, and helping me with any problems that occurred. She helped me find a makeup artist when our original one fell through, she helped me get my rustic wood tables even though they were originally unavailable, she was my go to girl and I am forever thankful for her. If you decide to go take a look at this beautiful venue be prepared to not only fall in love with the picture perfect barn and outside ceremony site but also the staff that will put in 100% of their effort all the way up until your wedding is complete. We still a month after our wedding get so many compliments on how beautiful and perfect our day was. It truly was the most magical day. I will forever be recommending this venue to anyone that asks!!

The Barn is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS this is a DREAM venue to have your wedding at! I had my wedding October 16th this year and I had my ceremony outside and let me tell you the trees and all their beautiful colors were incredible! The property is gorgeous and the area down the road we took pictures at looked like a fairy tale! I cannot rave enough over this venue! And the barn is so clean and beautiful inside! It really is the whole package! Lindsay was so accommodating to us and she really was amazing the day of the wedding! She is an expert in her craft and she made the day move flawlessly! I was shocked at how little I had to do the day of because of her! My only complaint (and this cannot be changed) is that they don't allow you to set up the day before because the venue is so popular they have weddings all weekend long. But it all worked out in the end! Just know if you want this venue PLAN AHEAD because this place is a must have for weddings! Thank you to everyone at Hornbakers for making our day the best one ever! You guys are the best!

I don't even know where to start raving about this beautiful venue. We got married in June of this year, and we had our wedding reception at the barn - it was beyond perfect. The barn itself is absolutely stunning. Driving up to the property is like driving to a fairyland. It takes your breath away. It's also huge for all you brides that have big families like my husband and I do! Everything surrounding the barn is equally as gorgeous. The amount of effort that goes into making everything about this place beautiful is very noticeable.Not only did we pick the barn because of its obvious beauty, but from the very beginning, Lindsay welcomed us with open, friendly arms. I mean, she's truly amazing and so incredibly helpful. She remembered little details that I completely forgot about, and of course saved the day. When we were setting tables the day before our wedding, I found that I didn't have enough charger plates for all our tables, and I had to get to my rehearsal dinner, so Lindsay ran around for me to find plates so that I didn't have to worry. I truly could not have planned my wedding without Lindsay. She answered every crazy question I had and gave me so much advice to help me organize my day. She is just truly a saint, and I can't recommend her and the barn enough. She became a friend throughout my wedding planning process, and I greatly enjoyed working with her! Don't even question if you want to book your special day here - it is SO worth it!

My husband and I got married here in the beginning of April and it was the most perfect venue for our big day! First of all, the moment you step on the property, you instantly fall in love with the place. It has all sorts of rustic, elegant, romantic vibes. As someone who enjoys simplicity, this venue really had so many stunning elements, you really don't need much to elevate it. Also, The Barn is extremely spacious, which I know made many of our Covid-conscious guests feel much more safe in a distanced space. Lindsay, the coordinator, did an excellent job being responsive on questions we had along the way, and was very calm and collected throughout the day, handling anything thrown at her. She was awesome about sending reminders for day of detail information which kept me on task with wedding planning, despite still working full time. Her team did an amazing job making the flow of our day seamless--any small task that needed tending to was quickly snatched up and taken care of, no questions asked. The whole staff genuinely cares about each detail of your day, and will do what it takes to make your dreams come true. We can't recommend this venue enough!!

My now-husband and I were originally planning to do our wedding in the city and visited a few we really liked, but then I discovered Hornbaker Gardens in my research and we decided it was worth checking out. During our visit, we met Lindsay, and she sealed it for us. We wanted the venue and to work with Lindsay. We ended up postponing our wedding because of COVID, and while planning during the pandemic was incredibly stressful, Lindsay was responsive, flexible, and positive through it all. On our wedding day in July, it poured all day, and again, I could have been stressed or worried, but with Lindsay managing it all, I really knew either way, it would turn out great. We did end up having to have it all indoors, but it couldn't have been more perfect. Lindsay also had recommendations for all of our vendors, and they were INCREDIBLE (Mark Allen's, Flowers by Julia, Kelsey's Kakes, CampBride, and more). Thank you so much, Lindsay, Samantha, and to the rest of the Hornbaker team for making our wedding day everything we had hoped for.

This venue is an absolute DREAM in every way possible. We were married here in November and to say I was beyond impressed is an understatement. The venue is GORGEOUS alone, but the surrounding area for photos, just wow. The beautiful colors of fall were stunning in our photos, even though it did snow(!) on our wedding day. You really do not even need to do much of anything as far as decor goes, the space speaks for itself and really, really is beautiful! We got SO MANY compliments on how gorgeous this venue is. Not only is this space gorgeous, the STAFF is top notch. When we toured the venue, we spoke with Lindsey. She is so personable and answered every single question before I could even ask them! She is very responsive to emails and was so kind and easy to work with. I was sad when she told me that she would not be our day of coordinator, but I was not at all disappointed when I spoke with Samantha. She was just as great as Lindsey! Very responsive to emails, answering all the last minute questions and having all the details all figured out! We didn't even meet in person until our rehearsal dinner, but I felt like I had known her for years!

They just went straight to her! All of the staff is so friendly and there was never, ever a line of more than 2 people at the bar. They really take care of you and make sure everything is smooth on your big day!Our caterer, lighting, and florist were all familiar with the venue and staff as well and said that they are so great to work with! Our florist had a question that I couldn't answer and she said, it's ok, I have Lindsey's phone number I will just text her and ask!I would 1000% recommend this venue/staff to anyone! We are so glad we chose to have our wedding here! I promise you will not regret having your wedding here!

This venue is an absolute DREAM in every way possible. We were married here in November and to say I was beyond impressed is an understatement. The venue is GORGEOUS alone, but the surrounding area for photos, just wow. The beautiful colors of fall were stunning in our photos, even though it did snow(!) on our wedding day. You really do not even need to do much of anything as far as decor goes, the space speaks for itself and really, really is beautiful! We got SO MANY compliments on how gorgeous this venue is. Not only is this space gorgeous, the STAFF is top notch. When we toured the venue, we spoke with Lindsey. She is so personable and answered every single question before I could even ask them! She is very responsive to emails and was so kind and easy to work with. I was sad when she told me that she would not be our day of coordinator, but I was not at all disappointed when I spoke with Samantha. She was just as great as Lindsey! Very responsive to emails, answering all the last minute questions and having all the details all figured out! We didn't even meet in person until our rehearsal dinner, but I felt like I had known her for years! I trusted her with details, she answered my crazy last minute texts, and she even gave the ok to hand out her number to my musicians, dj, and videographer, so I wouldn't have to worry about contacting them on the day of my wedding.

We just had our wedding at Hornbaker and it was great! The venue is beautiful. We had many comment to us about how beautiful it was and was not at all a \"barn.\" The large window in the reception hall shows the most beautiful red tree in the fall. Samantha was our coordinator and she was great as well. She helped us manage all of the chaos in days leading up in addition to the craziness the day of. I know there were a few things that popped up that would cause a bride stress but she handled it all in the background with ease. Would recommend this venue especially in the fall with all of the changing colors - great for pictures!

ATTENTION BRIDES: We had our wedding at the Barn at Hornbaker Gardens in September and it was the best venue ever!! I’m so grateful to have found this place – it was PERFECT!! First off, lets talk about the Barn layout: it’s absolutely GORGEOUS. The hallways, bathrooms and bride/groom rooms are spacious and I have to tell any newly engaged to-be brides that a venue with air conditioning AND bride/groom rooms are A MUST when checking venues (trust me on this!) The grand ballroom in the Barn is HUGE. Perfect for receptions. Personally, I feel the pictures on the internet do not show the true size of the room…plus the vaulted wood ceilings create an elegant yet cozy feel. Additionally, the kitchen is larger than one would think; making it easy for caterers to get the job done right. One of the main perks of having a wedding at the Barn is the guests have free range of the ballroom but also the covered patio in the back - guests are able to mingle and mix and be while still being in range of the music and dancing. There is a winding brick layout complete with a fire pit as well in the back of the Barn for Brides who wish to have a fall/winter wedding as well as a set of bags (or “cornhole” or whatever else you call it) for anyone to play (I was grateful to have this at our wedding…it kept our groomsmen busy while the bridesmaids and I were finishing up getting ready) Now, let’s talk about the Barn staff: No question about it, although the Barn and the surrounding gardens took my breath away when my then-fiancé and I pulled up to the Barn for the first time, it was the Barn Manager, Lindsay, who was one of the main reasons why we chose to have our wedding there. From day one, we were greeted with a friendly smile and we both felt very comfortable with her. You can tell that not only does Lindsay love her job, but her staff respects her. **On a personal note, I have known Lindsay for over 2 years now so I can attest to her genuine personality! We were a COVID couple and unfortunately had to postpone our wedding a whole year – I cannot tell you how kind and helpful she was to me while I was having my a COVID bridal meltdown and needed to change my wedding date (you da best Linds). The year leading up to the new wedding date, Lindsay was literally on my speed dial and guided me through every step of the way…no matter what question or concern I had, she answered my texts, calls and emails promptly and always went above and beyond to make sure I had the full picture and knew what to expect (even upon having a second COVID bride meltdown she still answered my calls!) so to say Lindsay is dependable is an understatement…let alone how awesome and fun she is!!! She has years and years in the wedding industry and can handle any curveball thrown her way…SHE IS WONDERFUL. LINDSAY IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. The day of our actual wedding, I was able to meet more of Lindsay’s staff and they were all so friendly and they definitely knew how to handle a large wedding… we didn’t have to worry about anything that night, Lindsay and her staff had the wedding and all the vendors running like a well-oiled machine…even the bartenders were amazing - not once did I even see a line at the bar! We could just sit back, relax and enjoy the wedding which meant so very much to me after years of wedding planning craziness!!Thank you again to Linds and all the staff @ Hornbakers, you guys are the REAL MVPS!!

We had really had our hearts set on an outdoor ceremony, but the weather was iffy with storms forecasted. Lindsay was so flexible and reassured me that we could set up outdoors and have the front of the reception hall ready to set up in case it was needed. Thankfully, it all worked out and we had the ceremony we dreamed of, but having Lindsay's experience made the whole thing much less stressful.

Well, besides it being the most beautiful venue there is, Lindsay is amazing. She assisted us from the start of the planning process to the finish. I discovered the Barn when I was in high school dating my now-husband, and I knew when we got engaged that I wanted our reception to be there. When we got engaged, they were my first stop. My story is one of the unfortunate ones where COVID took every original plan and crushed it, and I never did get to have my wedding reception at the Barn. The experience I had planning with Lindsay, though, is what would bring me back a million times and recommend this beautiful place to everyone. It started out with Lindsay being my coordinator, but it ended with her being my friend. I am so lucky I stumbled across the Barn many years ago and got to meet her. This place is worth every single penny and I highly suggest you hire them for your reception venue!

We looked no further and booked the same day. From that point on the planning process was so great. The barn offers their own bridal expos... UTILIZE those!! They are so helpful. We also had the opportunity to work with both Tara and Lindsay and needless to say, they have this whole process down to a T. They can answer absolutely anything you throw at them and offer their thoughts/suggestions as well. They were so accommodating and easy to work with; they truly care about your day and making it perfect. We were planning on having our ceremony outside but the weather decided otherwise. That day we chose to do the ceremony inside and thank goodness for that. It rained throughout our ceremony, then stopped in the evening. Was I disappointed? Not at all, the inside was so breath taking that I still can't get over it. After the ceremony, Lindsay and her staff quickly brought the reception site to life. I had so many people comment on how quickly they were able to turn around the room. They were extremely professional and worked with us to make our dream come to life.Now that our wedding is over, I have people ask what we would have differently and I can honestly say nothing.

The garden is gorgeous and theres an area tucked away on the grounds with a gazebo, stone staircase and much more that created magical, beautiful photos with my husband and I. We also hired for a company to add stringed lights inside the barn, which was a fanatic decision and made the barn feel warm and romantic.

Love this venue!! Our wedding was in the month of June and we really wanted a ceremony outside but reception inside. we got married outside there and it was beautiful with plenty of beautiful trees in the background and only a short walk away from the barn where the reception was. Has a super cute covered cocktail area. The getting ready rooms are great! The wedding coordinators are truly what made this venue so great! They were so helpful and organized and were very good at communicating with us and making sure our planning was going smoothly. This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! The chandeliers inside with the beautiful flooring and big windows make it very elegant inside, with the barn looking somewhat rustic on the outside. Would recommend to anyone!! Love this place!!

This was such a big thing to plan and the only reason I would be willing to do it all over again is because of the Barn.

I don't even know where to begin! Lindsay was amazing as our coordinator. Then venue is very clean and beautiful. Even though there was space for a larger group even our smaller wedding used the space well and didn't feel over crowded or overwhelmed but the size of the hall. The staff was amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. Lindsay was always able to be reached with questions about the venue but also with suggestions for other vendors. The rules are really simple and they are willing to work with you on basically anything. My husband and I would just show up if we were in the area and they had no problem with you just walking the grounds to take a look around or get an idea for set up. There were so many details that I didn't even have to worry about because Lindsay took care of it all.

Coordinating with Lindsay was more than easy, it was an absolute breeze and stress free. This was the only venue my husband and I looked at and even considered! We had a 300+ final count. The barn is so accommodating for this, very spacious. It can be very hard to find venues that can accommodate large guest lists . This venue is seriously every photographers dream, so many different opportunities just waiting to be captured. Lindsay also did all of our flowers, both wedding and reception. They were absolutely beautiful and everything I imagined they would be. If you are planning your wedding or reception here there is absolutely no reason to look elsewhere for a florist! So convenient and so worth it! We have absolutely NO regrets & we would HIGHLY recommend this venue.

We got married at the Barn in late July and WOW. It was simply perfect. Planning was a breeze with the coordinating team - we had Tara and I kept saying that she was the MVP of the wedding. SERIOUSLY. I don't know what we would've done without her. The venue itself is simply stunning, but throw in your decorations, the people and a sunset and this was by far the most beautiful venue we had seen (and we looked at probably 35+ venues). The grounds are so neat and well cared for - soooo many places to take pictures. The bride's room and groom's room offered plenty of space (and we have 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen). The ceremony site was breath-taking and the reception area was spacious and welcoming. My friends who were married said that if they could do their wedding again, they would have it here at the Barn. I mean, this venue has it all! And the staff!! I have never felt more comfortable or cared for. They were extremely professional and worked with us to make our dream come to life. Tara especially was a rockstar. During our rehearsal she made sure that we got our timing right so that the music hit exactly when it was supposed to. Everyone told me that something would go wrong on the wedding day and just to be ready for that. Well, not with Tara and the Barn. Seriously - nothing went wrong - everything was so smooth and even better than we had imagined. I'm so sad our day is over, but so so grateful for everyone at the Barn for making our day as perfect as it was. Love you all and so thankful!

She was so calm and kind when we first met her, and took the time to answer our many questions. We knew she would handle our big day with ease and make sure everything ran smoothly. Throughout our planning process, she was extremely responsive to lots of emails and always provided helpful insight and tips! I asked Lindsay to do our flowers, which is probably the best decision I could have ever made! I brought her lots of inspiration pictures, and gave her a budget that we wanted to stick to. She far exceeded my expectations - the flowers were SO amazing! She even used some florals for dual purpose: the flowers on our ceremony arch were moved to our head table during the reception. All in all, I cannot say enough great things about this venue and Lindsay. Our guests raved about the outdoor areas, the fire pit, the patio, and the gorgeous landscape. Thank you for making our day so wonderful! We only wish we could do it all over again :)

The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens was beyond amazing for our June 2018 wedding. Not only is it a fairytale setting, but the staff are INCREDIBLE. We had the privilege of working with Lindsay on our wedding, and she also did all of our flowers. She is AMAZING, both in her role as venue coordinator and florist. She replies to email and phone calls quickly, is always full of helpful advice and recommendations, and she worked with all our vendors to make our day flow smoothly. Our flowers were out of this world beautiful, and at a price that’s almost too good to be true; we could not be happier. We held our ceremony outdoors under the beautiful new arch (decorated by Lindsay!) and had the Barn staff run our sound, including all the processional and recessional music and microphones for our officiant and readers. They did a great job—they were so professional, what a great service to include! The Barn includes so many details, like the tables and chairs, the bride & groom’s rooms, the barware & glasses for tables, the patio space, even small details like the bags game--it’s just the best you’ll find in central IL! The bar service was also amazing, and Lindsay worked with us to get a package that would work for our wedding, which was incredibly reasonably priced for a 200-person wedding. Honestly, we were sold the second we walked in—we would have paid all over again just to get to take our photos on their beautiful grounds!! I am SO happy we had our dream wedding here; it was absolutely gorgeous, and the staff were incredible—they made everything so easy for us on the planning side, and it was SO well executed on our wedding day! Cannot recommend this venue and these awesome people highly enough!

My wife and I just got married at Hornbakers on August 4, 2017 and I must say this venue is perfect. The venue is situated on a larger than life bluff that has to be over 20 acres large which makes for a photographers dream. We took four hours of photos which came out beautiful! The outside is packed with gorgeous flowers, trees, rose bushes and vineyards, all while the inside is extremely elegant with magnificent chandeliers, beautiful floor to 30 foot ceiling windows and remarkable hard wood floors. If this isn’t enough to entice you to checkout this venue, the day of coordinator at the venue, Lindsay is the perfect angel that wastes no time to make sure your big day is perfect. Lindsay met with us roughly 8 times prior to our big day, always replied to our emails and always answered our phone calls. She also returned a voicemail we left on our cell phone even though she was on vacation. Hornbakers is an exciting venue because you are able to pick everything from your alcohol packages, which Lindsay works with you to pick your favorite drinks all while staying within your budget (we chose Bells Oberon and other kegs/drinks), your caterers and all other vendors to make your wedding personalized. I say this because while our food caterer (not Hornbakers) had a small malfunction on the day of the wedding, Lindsay was there to make sure it was corrected and fixed immediately. I could not have imagined planning the wedding without Lindsay. I also could not have imagined a better venue than Hornbakers. It is easy to say that Hornbakers and Lindsay are both 5 stars!

My wife and I just got married at Hornbakers on August 4, 2017 and I must say this venue is perfect. The venue is situated on a larger than life bluff that has to be over 20 acres large which makes for a photographers dream. We took four hours of photos which came out beautiful! The outside is packed with gorgeous flowers, trees, rose bushes and vineyards, all while the inside is extremely elegant with magnificent chandeliers, beautiful floor to 30 foot ceiling windows and remarkable hard wood floors. If this isn’t enough to entice you to checkout this venue, the day of coordinator at the venue, Lindsay is the perfect angel that wastes no time to make sure your big day is perfect. Lindsay met with us roughly 8 times prior to our big day, always replied to our emails and always answered our phone calls. She also returned a voicemail we left on our cell phone even though she was on vacation. Hornbakers is an exciting venue because you are able to pick everything from your alcohol packages, which Lindsay works with you to pick your favorite drinks all while staying within your budget (we chose Bells Oberon and other kegs/drinks), your caterers and all other vendors to make your wedding personalized. I say this because while our food caterer (not Hornbakers) had a small malfunction on the day of the wedding, Lindsay was there to make sure it was corrected and fixed immediately. I could not have imagined planning the wedding without Lindsay. I also could not have imagined a better venue than Hornbakers. It is easy to say that Hornbakers and Lindsay are both 5 stars!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! We had our wedding and reception at The Barn at Hornbaker Gardens on Friday, June 9th and it was the most perfect venue. After looking at other places, the Barn was the most ideal and had everything we would need for our big day (without the hassle of renting a single thing!). Lindsey and the staff made it EASY and STRESS FREE to plan our wedding here. Lindsey was so quick to reply to our questions whenever needed. My husband and I, along with everyone who celebrated with us, would highly recommend this to anyone. The gardens is stunning year round and the barn is beautiful even without decorations! It is totally worth every penny :)

When we viewed the Barn back in January we just knew this was the location for our NYE wedding - 12-31-16. The location itself sold us right off the bat, but after having our ceremony and reception indoors, the staff (Kaitlyn and her crew!) showed us what really sets the Barn apart. Kaitlyn covered every last detail and lingering question I had and was quick to reply and awesome to work with. She made our wedding night go smooth and took care of all the details for us. I also got my flowers done at the barn by Lindsay and they were gorgeous. Full package here - highly recommend this location! We also received several compliments from our guests about how perfectly designed the barn was and the elegant setting it created :)

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Such a beautiful place!! Being agri-business owners ourselves, we were treated with the very caliber of respect we would expect to provide at our business. They have truly created a special experience.

We got married Thanksgiving weekend 2016, and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved every second of my wedding day. The venue is absolutely stunning. They really have thought of everything! The kitchen was perfect for my caterer, the bride's room was perfect for my stylist to get all of my girl's hair done (7 of us). We had our ceremony and reception in the great room and Hornbaker staff took care of flipping everything over for the reception. Lindsay did our flowers and took care of every single detail incorporating them in my decor. I didn't have to worry about any of that. Kaitlyn was our coordinator and she did an incredible job or answering every single question I had throughout our engagement and worked with me to the very last minute taking into consideration every little detail. I highly recommend this venue! I had so many compliments on my wedding, that it was the most beautiful wedding people have ever attended.

Before we even walked in I think we all knew it was the place. My brother, the groom, loves landscaping and that place has it all!!

I just want to say that my best friend Heather Naumann of 12 years is getting married this August at your barn and as her matron of honor I would just like to say that I have never seen her more excited to have her once in a life time experience at your venue. She deserves this more than anyone I know!!! It's not easy planning a wedding on your own, let alone affording one, but I have not heard one complaint of your facility. Also, the fact that you are letting them have their dog as their ring bearer welcome at your facility just shows how dedicated you are to making their wedding an experience to remember ;). Thank you and God Bless!

My fiancé and I are getting married here next year. Most guys don't talk about how 'beautiful' a place is or say 'oh my god it's going to be the most incredible day of our lives it's so pretty'.... but I am not ashamed to say that I am just as excited as my future wife when I think about the wedding we are going to have. They have answered so many little questions my fiancé has had and just seeing pictures of other weddings on facebook or their website gets me excited. They have asked what kind of drinks we prefer so they can stock things they don't have for us. They were kind enough to let our dog be apart of our ceremony which is really important to us. They provide you with all kinds of vendor information on food, photographers, hotels, travel, and tons of other things if you aren't right in the area. I can't wait to see my fiance walk down the aisle at the Barn and become my wife. There is no other place in the area or even farther from it that is so nice or that has everything they do. I never thought I would be getting married somewhere that's as \"beautiful\" as The Barn and I can't wait for our day.

My husband and I had been looking at venues for months before finally checking out The Barn, which is only about 20 minutes away from our house. We had previously looked at venues up in the Chicago suburbs, and none of them even came close to the beauty of this venue! Lindsay is not only extremely helpful and full of information, but she is an AMAZINGLY TALENTED florist! While I feel that it doesn't take away from our experience on our special day, one thing that I would suggest you consider discussing when booking is the open bar package. Gratuity is included in your package, which I feel is expected. However, the bartenders were accepting tips, which I personally feel should not be allowed if you are paying upwards of 1000$ (depending on your wedding size obviously), in gratuity for your bar package. I would still recommend this venue to anyone!

My husband and I were married here July 1st 2016 and had the absolute best experience and the greatest day of our lives! We searched for a wedding venue for 7 months before visiting The Barn and I knew before seeing the inside that this was it. It's a 2 hour drive from where we live, but it was the best decision we made. Lindsay was an absolute dream to work with. She helped us with so much of the planning process since we were traveling 2 hours and we didn't know the town. She also did our flowers which was one of my favorite parts of the whole day. We luckily had perfect weather for our day and we're able to get married right under the trees on the property just like I had envisioned! The grounds are stunning and very well kept. I can't say enough great things about the barn and about working with Lindsay. If you're looking for a rustic type feel for your wedding then this is the place! I can't wait to drive down and visit again.

She takes care of everything from the beginning stages of planning to being there all day of the wedding. She was my wedding coordinator, florist, and overall just made me feel important, and I always felt I was in the best hands. I probably wrote over 100 emails, and she always responded promptly to every one. We got married right outside the barn, and our wedding pictures turned out amazing! I can't tell you how many people said our pictures should be in wedding magazines. Everyone had a blast, and was in absolute aw of how beautiful the barn/venue is. Another great thing about this venue is that there is a brides suite (which has huge mirrors and is perfect for you and your bridesmaids) and grooms suite out at the barn, so all of our wedding party was able to get ready at the barn. We were so incredibly happy of how flawless the day went, and it's all because of the great staff at Hornbakers!
