Family owned and operated
This hidden gem and family-run venue nestled in the Alberta Prairies provides timeless charm with modern amenities, warm hospitality, and Big Sky Country views.
From the moment you step onto the grounds, the care and attention in providing a welcoming and picture perfect venue is evident.
Outdoor Pavilion
The recent addition of the Pavilion is a game changer in my opinion in that it provides shelter from inclement weather and the ability to seamlessly move your ceremony under cover should the clouds roll in.
The adjacent large cement patio is the ideal space for your cocktail reception under the patio lights and open air.
spacious Bridal Suite and Groom's cabin
A spacious bridal suite and groom's cabin allow for pre-wedding preparations including 3 hair and make-up chairs, a pool table and kitchenettes. Decor elements are rustic but modern and the bridal suite has amazing Alberta Prairie views.
The prep kitchen is large, easily accessible and well equipped allowing bartenders and caterers to craft their culinary masterpieces.
Outdoor Garden Ceremony
For those envisioning a garden ceremony, Black Barn boasts a picturesque site that seamlessly blends nature's beauty with the romance of your special day. The grounds at Black Barn are beautifully maintained and include many trees and perennials. Although I toured this venue in the winter, the remnants of blooming flowers were all around the grounds and it wasn’t hard to imagine the flowing golden wheat fields as the backdrop for those who choose a later summer or fall date.
Brides beware of the long staircase from the bridal suite down to ground level and the ceremony site. The rise and run are generous but you will want someone to hold your bouquet so you can focus! There is no elevator up to the bridal suite but the rest of the property is fully accessible.
Ample and Free Parking
There is ample parking space and they even have limited room for overnight trailer parking.
This venue is a bit of a drive from Edmonton so be prepared for the possibility of booking a shuttle for your guests. The nearest accommodations are about a 1/2 hour away but I believe that the journey to get there was part of the charm and added to the feeling that I was going somewhere special.
Picture Perfect
Step inside the main hall dining room, and your eye is immediately drawn to the tall truss ceilings – a true testament to the venue's rustic grandeur. Chairs and tables are included in your rental and additional decor items are available to rent eliminating the hassle of pick-ups / deliveries / set-up and take-down service.
If a rustic, charming and meticulously maintained venue that has a welcoming family run feel is what you are looking for, I wholeheartedly would recommend this venue. This kind of value and picture perfect space comes with a high price tag but in my opinion, they can back it up!
