Metal Barns

You may think that weddings being held in barns were a thing of the past but surprisingly, they’re very much the chic option now. As a matter of fact, barn weddings are consistently a top choice as a wedding and reception venue for today’s brides and grooms.

Weddings have changed a lot over the past 20 years or so. Many couples no longer envision themselves going to the chapel. Rather, their vision is one of twinkle lights strewn amid rustic benches and hay bales, setting the scene of country chic. They’ve decided that a rustic barn is the most romantic place to say I do. And frankly, we agree.

Even the hippest city couples are choosing to have their weddings in a barn-like environment surrounded by rolling hills or open farmland. Barn weddings seem to speak to everyone’s down-home, simple side. The rustic vibes have taken over this generation of brides. Just pick up any bridal magazine or look at any wedding-themed website. You’ll see many styles of barn weddings represented, from country chic to modern farmhouse!  

But what’s the business reality behind the romantic side of the story? Well, according to The Knot, 15 percent of couples decide to hold their wedding reception in a barn, on a farm, or at a ranch in 2017. This percentage has changed a lot since 2009 when it was only 2 percent. These statistics are staggering! In under 9 years, this percentage has grown more than 7 times. It’s a solid business proposition - many barn wedding/reception venues are known to earn six-digit profits yearly. This is great news for those who are looking to leave their regular 9-5 jobs and become their own bosses.
