Where rustic charm meets elegant sophistication.

As you enter the Great Hall, soaring ceilings give a sense of awe and wonder as guests take in the view of the former hayloft. The space is perfect for ceremonies and receptions up to 200 guests seated, or 300 standing. Golden chandeliers impart elegance and refinement that elevates this venue past its humble origins as a working farm.

    Sweeney Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only is it a stunning gem, but from the very beginning, the communication with their General Manager Andrea was easy, professional, and relieving - it made our wedding journey so much easier and lifted a weight off our shoulders. The quality of their work and overall value was beautiful, simple, and elegant. Andrea made each encounter and engagement throughout our wedding planning process personal and special. She was so professional and reassuring by presenting her plans or taking responsibility to oversee things whenever we had any concerns or worries. We cannot thank or recommend Andrea and her team at Sweeney Barn enough. If you are thinking about booking them and happen to be free for the date you want BOOK THEM while you can.

    We absolutely loved Sweeney Barn as our wedding venue! The space was stunning, with bright, natural lighting in the ceremony area that made everything feel warm and inviting. One of our favorite features was the ability to have an outdoor cocktail hour during golden hour—it created such a beautiful and magical atmosphere. The grand reception space, with its gorgeous chandeliers, added an elegant touch, and there were so many versatile areas for guests to explore, including an outdoor space perfect for stepping out for fresh air or enjoying a cigar. Sweeney Barn truly had everything we wanted for a perfect wedding. Andrea, in particular, was incredible to work with—she made the whole planning process seamless. We also worked with many of their preferred vendors, all of whom provided top-notch service and high-quality products. It was a dream come true, and we can’t recommend this venue enough!

    From the moment we stepped onto the property at Sweeney Barn my husband and I knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. It has rustic charm with modern flare. It truly is such a beautiful place and it wasn’t just a venue, it felt like home. Andrea from Sweeney Barn made everything seamless and truly a blessing. Andrea’s kindness and warmth make your experience that much more special and her organization and attention to detail put my mind at ease. I knew everything was going to be executed to perfection and it was!!! Sweeney Barn even offers you a variety of decor you can utilize which came in handy! What makes Sweeney stand out even more is they host open houses where their trusted vendors attend and you can browse and meet vendors. This was INCREDIBLE and we booked almost all our vendors at the open house making my life so much easier. On the day of the Sweeney Barn coordinator that was with us, Lisa, was a DREAM. She is enthusiastic and lovely! Not to mention she even took care of our dog before the ceremony, which was just so kind! Sweeney Barn is truly an amazing place to get married and I’m telling you right now go visit!!!
