Family and love are the two most treasured gifts in the world and that is how The Barn was built. The Barn at Black Rock Reservoir sits on an old 300 acre stripper pit overlooking a scenic 80 acre lake. Constructed in 2021 The Barn holds 200 guests indoor and another 200 guests outdoor. With exposed timbers, ample natural lighting, and large glass garage door this venue says "I do" to your special day.

We are located in Southern Edgar County out in the country on a pond. We opened in August of 2010 and produce and bottle our own wine. Our banquet hall is 40x60. area. We have a stone fireplace on the South wall and a stone bar. The rest of the room is open. There is a separate door that enters the banquet hall from the outside, and an exit door to the wine garden outside. If you rent our banquet hall, we will supply you with tables & chairs. The tables will have white tablecloths. We do have a beer & liquor license, but this is for special events only and needs to be mentioned at the time of booking your event.

Our heartfelt desire is to provide an affordable and classic wedding venue that is limited only by your imagination. Every decision we have made has been to provide the best wedding experience for you. Our goal is to replace wedding stress with wedding joy. Your wedding day should be filled with love and family, not stress. We provide a large selection of quality decorations, many donated by previous brides to pay it forward. We like to believe the love transfers with them. You simply make an appointment with an experienced designer and a few months before your wedding, create your tablescape and choose your decor. The week of your wedding, we ask for those photos and everything will be readily available for you to begin creating your dream. Brides tell us it helps reduce day-of stress. We focused on every minute detail in building because those details add up to something beautiful. We would love to meet you and begin bringing your wedding vision to life!

The 1950's barn, nestled on the corner of a forty-acre farm on the Indiana/Illinois state line, has been renovated into an event venue that could comfortably seat over 350 people. Some highlights include a foyer that could be driven through, the ballroom boasting five chandeliers, heating/cooling, kitchenettes, changing rooms, restrooms, an outdoor pavilion, numerous outdoor ceremony locations, and grounds with mature trees.
