8 Reasons BrighterDaze Farm is Perfect for Your Wedding

Beauty & Authenticity

BrighterDaze Farm is among the most beautiful farms in the Midwest. The grounds feature many oak trees over 200 years old, weeping willows blowing gently in the breeze, and a large pond filled with colorful koi fish. BrighterDaze is one of the few barn venues around that is still a working horse farm with over 20 friendly horses that are excited to meet you.

Space

Convenience

BrighterDaze is within 10 minutes of routes 71, 47, 34, 80, and 52. Travel is easy no matter which direction your guests are coming from. We have a ceremony site just outside the barn, so there is no need for a cumbersome commute between ceremony and reception. We can park up to 250 cars and several buses. There are several hotels and resorts within 10 minutes of the farm, and yes, you can leave your vehicles overnight if need be.

Exclusivity

Fur-Friendly

We welcome you to bring your whole furry family. It is a horse farm, so if you have a longtime friend with hooves, they are welcome too.

Ultimate Flexibility

Everyone has their own idea of the perfect wedding. We remain vendor-flexible to accommodate everyone's style and preference. Our standard rental includes 12 hours of use to allow you and your vendors to cover every detail without a mad rush. We work hard to accommodate every unique request and give our customers the freedom to customize the layout for your event.

For those who do not want a DIY event, we offer day-of coordination, planning consultations, and full-service wedding planning. You won't have to lift a finger. We can deliver a fun, stylish evening of cherished memories.
