Cozy and Warm Barn Venues in Nebraska
I think that barn weddings have become more and more popular in the last 5 years, which I totally get because there’s so much to love about the: the warm and cozy feel they bring, the stranded lights, exposed wood, the rich history they’re filled with, the beautiful properties they lay on, or just the space they can offer to many people. I think because they are so popular, more and more families have been opening up their long history barns and turning them into beautiful spaces for weddings. While barn venues are a blank canvas for brides to decorate, allowing them to input their own style and decisions, they’re also beautiful just as themselves. Every decor option acts almost as a bonus, adding to the beautiful venue.
Whether you’re looking for a more “rustic” barn venue or one that is a little more up-to-date, Nebraska has so many options! Some I have shot at, others I have just attended, and others I haven’t been to at all but I wanted to share options that Nebraska has to offer you and a few tidbits about the venue if I was familiar with them. * However please review their websites and information, some venues may have upgraded or changed policies due to Covid-19.
