Country Wedding

My husband and I want to have a country wedding. We want to have an outdoor ceremony with a reception in a barn or somewhere with a country feel yet romantic. I've thought about just renting a tent but im still looking for other ideas. Does anyone know of barns you can rent or somewhere outdoors to do a wedding? I would love to have my horses there but that isn't a necessity. We keep moving our date back because we can't decide what we want to do or where. There isn't much for options around Sioux Falls.
Thanks for you help!

    I have heard that Heartland Ventures in Baltic has done wedding receptions before. My friend is a harpist who scouted it out for my fiance and I (and had her horses stabled there!). I don't know much about it, as we've since changed our location, but it's definitely worth a shot: http://www.heartlandventures.net/contact

    Hope it works out for you :)

    When I was searching for wedding venues near Sioux Falls, I came across the Strawbale Winery (strawbalewinery.com/), which has a nice country feel (and a barn!). I contacted them about doing a wedding next summer, and they said they were full, but you might want to give them a call and see when they have availability!

    Good Luck!
  • I'm not sure if you are interested in west river, but there are several great places out here.  Heartland Ranch I think has a wedding area that is very country feeling.  Also, there are a lot of horse ranches around here that  may/may not work too. 
    Time of our lives Anniversary
  • There is a beautiful hunting lodge outdoorsy place called Hole N' the Wall Lodge.  It is just outside of Akron, IA so not too far from Sioux Falls.  I think you would be able to have your horses there because they are very flexible.  Be prepared however, it is very expensive.  Worth a look though because it may be exactly what you are looking for.  They have a facebook page that has many more pictures on it than their website does.  Hope this helps!

    What are some of the barns/ranches west river?  My fiancee and I are searching for that sort of venue near rapid/spearfish area but are running out of luck.
