Rustic and cozy!
The lower level of our barn is 2100 ft.² From its concrete floors to its tin ceiling, this space creates a very rustic environment!

Amazing venue!
This venue is the REAL DEAL. Not only does it have a stunning view, but it’s also an all around great experience. The owners, Riley and Alyssa, have gone above and beyond to make this venue a dream come true with their vision and hospitality. I have experienced first hand the effort they put in to make any event the best it can possibly be. I (hair stylist) have worked in their beautiful bridal suite and had a great experience. I have also attended a small gathering and felt the same. Key takeaways -beautiful barn -stunning scenery -accommodating hosts -great photo opportunities -great/spacious bridal suites -great outdoor gathering area Check it out! Book the event!

Try to beat it!
Ensign Jade Acres was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we arrived, the owners greeted us warmly and made us feel like friends. Their communication throughout the planning process was very clear and honest, which we greatly appreciated. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - the setting is so peaceful and provides beautiful photo opportunities. The quality of their work and attention to detail is truly amazing. You can tell they are deeply invested in making every event the best it can be. We felt so taken care of on our special day, and our guests were raving about the beautiful, clean, and unique space. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would highly recommend Ensign Jade Acres to any couple looking for a stunning venue with a personal touch.
Vendor mom
I have been here two times with my daughter who is a craft vendor. The setting and barn is top notch for a wide variety of events. She is now planning her special wedding here and the owners are so friendly and welcoming.
