The Barn at Brophy Creek Farm 

5.0

De Witt, IA
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

At the Barn at Brophy Creek, we are a family run business on a fourth generation farm. Running along the edge of Brophy Creek, the farm was purchased in the 1950's by my grandfather who immigrated from Germany and worked the farm as a hired man when he was 18 years old. The next generation took over and my dad began farming the land. My husband and I moved into the farmhouse where we raised our 4 beautiful children. I’ve stayed on this acreage my entire life. It is my history. Eventually, my dad retired and the buildings began to deteriorate. I knew we had to save these historic buildings and share them with the community, so we got creative and dreamed up the wedding and event venue that Brophy Creek is today. Luckily, my husband is able to take the dreams and visions I have in my head and make them reality. In 2015 we began dreaming it up, tearing it apart, and rebuilding - we've put our lives into this space.

  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

This venue was PERFECTION! It really captured the rustic vibes we were going for and because the space is so beautiful we really didn’t need to do much decorating which saved us a lot of money. There are plenty of backup locations as well if you needed it for the weather, but if you can get married at the outside location-do it! It was stunning to get married out by the pond at sunset in the fall. We got so many compliments on how stunning the place was and I really can’t talk enough about how incredible Kari is to work with. She’s a great communicator, helps work out any problems, and overall is so incredible to work with. We loved having the weekend package so we could have the Friday to set up, only worry about getting married on Saturday, and tear down on Sunday. I also think this package was affordable for how much time you got at the venue too. We got so many compliments on the wine slushies as well. You won’t regret having your wedding here!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Renwick was the quickest and easiest choice my husband and I made for our wedding. We knew it was a beautiful place and we’d been interested in getting married there since long before we were even engaged but we didn’t know how helpful, warm and accommodating the owners, Sarah and Dane, would be. From the day we toured to our wedding and after, they’ve been amazing. They offer tons of helpful amenities plus different packages/price-points. We went with one of the higher priced packages and it was still totally reasonable. The package we chose allowed us to focus on the things we were excited about like decor while not having to worry about the things we were not excited about like set up and tear down. They also offer pretty much any option you could possibly want as far as bar service goes and you can bring in whatever catering you want! I could ramble on forever - I don’t know why people have events anywhere else!

A barn is where hard work happens. It is where good times and bad happen. It is where families come together. To work. To play. To connect. To grow. And to make memories. It weathers storms, the elements and anything else you can possibly throw at it. Can you think of a better metaphor for marriage? Can you think of a better place to start one? We can’t either. That’s why we put so much heart into The Barn here at Allen Acres. To create a place where someone’s there to bring the vision of your day to life. Why we fought for it. Why we worked ourselves into the ground for it. Spent money we didn’t have on it. And put every ounce of energy into the four walls you’ll see before you. Labor of love? It was an undying test of our wills, our bank accounts and our sanity. But that’s what you do for something and someone you’re passionate about. It’s how you start your dream. It’s how we started ours. And how we’d like to start yours.
