You’ve just got engaged and one of the first steps in planning a wedding after choosing the date is deciding on a venue. From the church, the garden, the event venue or the wedding barn, there is so much to discuss and each of these locations can book up quickly.
Weddings barns are perhaps the most significant wedding venue trend of the last 20 years. You have outdoor and indoor options, often a blank slate for personalized colors and décor and a homey feel for your guests of all ages. Hendricks County, Indiana, happens to offer some great options so let’s take a look at what these barns have to offer.
Sitting on 35 acres in Avon, Indiana, Ash & Oak gives the bride and groom every option they could want including a small creek and bridge, white picket fence, grand entry doors to the barn and gorgeous lighting inside.
Capacity for the venue is 200 people, and the premium bridal suite and bachelor pad are perfect additions while preparing for your big day.
This Danville wedding and event barn comes with a unique story.

The Cartlidge Barn can hold up to 100 people and may be one of the most cost-efficient barns you can rent for special occasions in Hendricks County.
This beautiful barn had been in the family since the 1960s and was the location of a family wedding in 2014. Because the Barn of Coatesville has always been a location that brought family together, they decided to make it special for everyone else, too.
The rustic chic venue includes indoor and outdoor seating, a picturesque pond and fountain in the back and photo opportunities galore.
