Wedding venue in Minnesota
About The Barn at Ballard Creek
Set on a Southern Minnesota farm with rolling hills, pastures, oak-filled woods and flower fields, the venue centers on a restored 1905 barn with exposed beams and tall rafters. The property also includes a social-hour courtyard and patio, a wraparound balcony, and a historic silo and stone chimney among its photo settings. The venue offers indoor and outdoor ceremony options; the barn’s parlor is described as an indoor ceremony space, and the barn can be arranged across levels for ceremony and reception when weather requires it. Wedding offerings range from elopements and micro weddings to larger celebrations, with ceremony-and-reception and reception-only options. Packages include the day before for preparation, and the venue provides setup, cleanup and teardown for ceremony and reception. Amenities and services described include a bridal suite, groom’s cabin, attached restrooms, catering preparation areas, tables, linens, neutral décor, cooling fans, heaters, parking for up to 100 vehicles, and help coordinating shuttle service. Couples may choose their own food and drink vendors. The venue also has a resident herd of Highland cattle and allows leashed pets.
