About this venue

Surrounded by rolling Amish and Mennonite farmland, the Historic Metzler Homestead event venue is the perfect place for your rustic wedding! The Sweitzer barn is distinguished by original oak flooring that has been sanded and sealed to a glossy finish preserving the wood for years to come. A beautiful limestone gable wall and a soaring ceiling accented with Hand hewn beams from the late 1700s . In addition to our rustic barn event venue, Historic Metzler Homestead is also home to an award-winning Bed & Breakfast that offers 3 unique suites to choose from for your family or for you as couple to relax and not have to rush anywhere. We also have a The Man Cave/ Grooms room and bridal suite. We as a family-owned small business, do our best to accommodate your dreams and desires and create memories that will last far beyond the wedding day. Onsite parking and chairs and tables are included.

    Where to begin!? The Hertzog family puts their heart and soul into this venue, you and your special day. Kristen, Scott and Makayla were delightful to work with, understanding our unique needs and helping us plan for a safe and special day during a pandemic. They are thorough, kind and truly put the needs and desires of the couple above all. To add, we rented out the entire B&B and our guests truly loved their experience at both the wedding and as a B&B guest. While barn weddings aren't for everyone, I highly encourage DIYers and those looking for a special place with character to partner with the Hertzog family and let them help make your dreams a reality!
