Prairie Weddings
Designing your ceremony and celebration at The Burning Barrel is seamless. Everything you need is right here.
The Venue: A sea of flowing prairie grasses and native wildflowers are framed by open sky. Choose one of our signature ceremony spaces or find one that speaks to you on the land. On the day of your celebration your guests are welcome to explore the farm, mingle on the viewing decks or gather around the fire, play games in the ship yard, and check out the open-air kitchen while you prepare to walk down the aisle.
The Restaurant: Inspired by the Season of your vows, Chef Brian will create a custom menu full of fresh ingredients from our land and our neighboring local growers. Choose between passed appetizers or self-serve table, family style or coursed plates, and finish with a unique seasonal wedding cake.
The Bar: Our on-site winery coupled with your preferred selection of beer, wine, spirits and a wide array of house made non-alcoholic options ensure a fun and pleasing beverage experience for everyone. Our staff can serve table side or tend bar - it’s up to you.
Wedding Coordination: Whether you’re doing it all yourself, or hiring a professional, our on-site coordinator and comprehensive planning guide will help you design your event from start to finish.
We would be honored to host your special day.

Our springtime wedding at Burning Barrel was brimming with joy and abundance. We couldn’t imagine a place more aligned with our values and full of beauty. We are endlessly grateful for the fruits of Kristin and Brian’s labors: the welcoming setting, the fresh garden greenery, the chicken cooked to perfection, the thoughtfulness with which each ingredient was chosen and each farmer acknowledged.
Kristin and Brian did such an incredible job of thinking of all the details that make a wedding unforgettable. We would describe the experience as a state of rapture. Thank you, Kristin and Brian, for hosting the best party of the year, and possibly our lives!
Isis & Michael
We are full to bursting with happiness and contentment reflecting on our wedding day (and all of our dinners with you). Kristin - your warmth permeates our memories. Brian - you filled our hearts as much as our stomachs. Our guests are still talking about the meal.
Thank you for being integral to our celebration. Burning Barrel will always be so dear to us. Thank you.

Lindsay & Andrew
Andrew and I can’t thank you enough for working with us and going from a wedding on the farm, to a rehearsal dinner, to all the little details that go along with it. Our guests, well everyone, had the BEST time. We received nothing but compliment after compliment and were so happy to share the magic that you two make with all of our loved ones. Everything went so smoothly, was so delicious, and beautifully executed. The cake was stunning to look at and fabulous to eat.
You all blew us away with everything, and we are so grateful.
