Brule River Barn

The top floor of the Barn features vaulted ceilings with the original barnboard walls, cafe lights, and a wet bar. The flooring is double-thick for a night of dancing away and an eclectic collection of dining chairs and tables circle the room for when you need to take a break. The concrete-countered bar features a sink and a keg fridge with 3 taps and CO2 included. An attached deck overlooks the grounds and includes our version of the Love Bridge with couples' padlocks of love.

The main level of the Barn features the original rough-sawn boards painted a clean, ethereal white and beams wrapped in fairy lights. Typically an eating space, the room seats 200 guests at our wood-topped tables. The main level is surrounded by landscaping and cafe light-strung patios and the side door leads to the restrooms. The back door leads to the catering staging area, a common location for buffets.

The Willow Tree is an imposing figure in the lawn at the Brule River Barn. Its survival over at least 100 years is the same reason it symbolizes a lasting marriage: it's stable and durable, but also flexible and resilient. Many choose to get married or even eat in its shade during the warm months.

One of our newest ceremony sites, The Oaks is set against the back woodline under the branches of two huge oaks. The ceremony site includes pews and an entry arch and features slices of the Willow Tree carpeting the front. The afternoon light filters through the branches of the oaks to create the perfect shaded ceremony location.

Our Farmhouse was built before 1900 by some of the first settlers in our area. Its interior features the original log construction, a fireplace, a fully-stocked kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A number of windows in the living room look over the property and three decks overlook a number of ponds. The Farmhouse sleeps 10-11 and is included in our Weekend Wedding Experience, our most popular package.

The Cottage is a one-bedroom, one-bath home tucked along the treeline. Its vintage touches make it the perfect place to get ready before the big day or relax after it's all done. A private back porch looks out into the woods and the cottage garden out front is a great place to hang out. The Cottage is included in our Weekend Wedding Experience and as available as an add-on for our One-Day Wedding Experiences.

The Milkhouse was once where the cows were milked, but now stands as a place for half of the wedding party to get ready. It features vintage school lockers, a mini fridge, and seating area along with a number of rustic touches.

The Summer Kitchen is an log building from the turn of the century that houses Jill's antiques collection. It's right next to our carefully maintained ponds and features a counter and fridge, making it a great location for a cocktail hour and lawn games.
