    We LOOOVE Sonshine Barn!

    If we could recommend Sonshine Barn 5 million times over, we would! Everything about Sonshine Barn is designed to make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We cannot thank the entire Sonshine Barn Team - especially Sarah, Jen, and Courtney - for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect. Between Sarah helping us with decorations and venue questions, and Jen and Courtney helping coordinate the logistics day-of, our wedding day went off without a hitch. There wasn’t a single detail my husband (!!!) and I were worried or stressed about come wedding day. I also cannot emphasize how incredible it is to have your contract run the entire length of your wedding weekend, with the Farmhouse onsite. This level of convenience is unmatched. On top of all of this, Sonshine Barn itself is beautiful. From the interior of the barn, to the grounds, the ceremony backdrop, and everything in between. 100000/10 we highly recommend Sonshine Barn!

    I honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding day. From the moment we chose Sonshine Barn, we knew it was a beautiful venue, but experiencing our wedding there exceeded every expectation. The natural beauty of the property is breathtaking, and the entire team made the day feel effortless. A huge thank you to Veronica and Toree—they truly went above and beyond. They paid attention to every little detail and took the ideas I shared, bringing them to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I envisioned. Having people who genuinely cared about making our day special meant the world to us. The farmhouse was also an absolute game changer. Being able to have so many of our closest friends and family stay together on the property made the whole weekend feel even more meaningful. We were able to spend extra time together, make lasting memories, and truly soak in every moment. We are so grateful to everyone at Sonshine Barn for making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an amazing team that truly cares about your experience, I can't recommend Sonshine Barn enough. Thank you for giving us a day we'll never forget!

    Sonshine Barn was truly the perfect venue for our dream wedding! We had the most amazing experience from start to finish. Veronica, our wedding planner, was absolutely incredible and truly made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She thought of every single detail, was always the best communicator when we had questions, and went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. We didn’t have to lift a finger for set up, decorating, or take down — Veronica handled everything and made our wedding day feel effortless. The venue itself was everything we dreamed of and more. The property is absolutely beautiful, and every detail of Sonshine Barn made our weekend feel so special. The farmhouse and clubhouse were such fun spaces for us and our guests to enjoy throughout the weekend and made the experience feel like so much more than just one day. We are so grateful we chose Sonshine Barn — it was truly the perfect setting for our dream wedding and an experience we will never forget!
