A Beautiful Setting for Your Fairytale Wedding...
Holds ceremonies and receptions
The Big White Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. The property is absolutely beautiful, and the team was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, and they were always quick to answer any questions throughout the planning process.
On our wedding day it ended up being foggy and wet, so we couldn’t use the grass area for the ceremony like we originally planned. Thankfully, the venue has so many gorgeous options that we were still able to have a stunning outdoor ceremony on the patio. If you’re looking for a rustic barn venue with great support and endless charm, this is the place.

If you are looking for a beautiful country wedding, The Big White Barn is truly the most picturesque place to get married! The views from the venue are breathtaking and the venue inside is absolutely stunning! From the gorgeous bridal suite, to the built in kitchen/bar, to the easy access restrooms, this venue has everything you need for your wedding. And the venue coordinator, Faith, is absolutely amazing to work with! She answered every single question we had and was truly one of the easiest parts of the entire wedding planning process!

AWARD WINNER (5X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Set on a majestic 80 acres of grassy plains, it’s a beautiful backdrop for an outdoor ceremony, with rustic accents like the exposed wood and lines of prairie fence. The spacious bridal suite offers a lovely full bath, french doors, and several antique-style vanities. Balconies provide stunning views and delightful settings for photographs and the bouquet toss. Larger parties can be accommodated with the sprawling covered pavilion attached to the barn. Let the cocktail hour begin outdoors and enjoy the brilliant sunset with an unobstructed view. Dine and dance with your guests into the night, as crickets chirp and the stars make their appearance dotting the sky.

Ok, if you are looking for a really gorgeous, rustic, but yet oh so beautiful venue then I can HIGHLY recommend the Big White Barn in Decatur, Texas. It can hold up to 200 guests. ...
There’s availability for both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies and the venue looks stunning in the pics, which I have also added for this review.
Faith Adams, the venue manager was also incredibly helpful in providing us with tried-and-true vendors in that area who could do the catering, bartending, wedding cake preparation, hair and make-up, DJ’s, photography and videography. She was consistently responsive and so incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and addressing all of our concerns. I don’t think we could have done this wedding without her guidance and expertise.
The venue is also very reasonably priced for the number of guests it can hold. Throughout the entire night out guests consistently told us how amazing the venue was. It truly was perfect for us, and I would recommend Faith Adams and the Big White Barn 1000 times over.
Good luck to all the couples tying the knot or just needing a super cool venue to hold a celebration. Give Faith a call or check it out and I hope it is as special for you as it was for us.

seating or partying.
The bridal suite is stunning! The only thing I would say would be nice is if the grooms suite was a little bigger. My husband had 6 groomsmen, so 7 total people and it was quite congested in there. But if you have a smaller party no big deal. I had 5 total bridesmaids, so 6 total with me, and then also my mother and mother in-law and the bridal suite was plenty big enough.

I LOVED having my wedding here. It was absolutely stunning! And I REALLY loved how beautiful it was on the inside too. It happened to rain on my wedding day but moving the ceremony...
inside wasn’t totally heart crushing like it could’ve been because of how gorgeous the inside is. The ONLY thing I didn’t love was the fact that we didn’t get to have a rehearsal on the day before. They said they typically do them on the morning of. Which probably works out for most people since a lot of people get ready AT the venue site anyway. But my bridal party and myself were trying to save money so we got ready in Fort Worth where we live so we wouldn’t have to pay travel fees for our makeup and hair ladies to come to us. And with the BWB being a 50 minute drive from from where we live, it just made more sense not to go in the morning to have to come all the way back to get ready then go back again. Anyway, even with that one small thing I didn’t like, I have absolutely ZERO regrets choosing this GORGEOUS venue. Faith is also super nice and helpful throughout the entire process which helps alleviate some of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, especially planning one in under 6 months ;)

t the JP. Last minute training meant we had to reschedule the formal wedding. Then they got pregnant with a honeymoon baby. We ultimately had to postpone indefinitely. BWB allowed us up to two years to use the venue and retained our initial deposit. Faith has been amazing and so understanding!
Our 25th anniversary is this December, so we decided to have a vow renewal and the reception we never got to have. We are so excited! The BWB staff are knowledgeable and know vendors who will fit our budget.
The bridal suite is gorgeous! There’s a full bath and three or four vanities for getting ready. They also have an adorable playscape for kids as well as a gas fire pit. The outdoor pavilion is spacious, covered, and well-lit. I can’t wait to renew our vows here!

to help me schedule a tour of the venue so it worked with my schedule (I live over an hour away and work late during the week), and she worked with my budget so that we could have our wedding here. I instantly fell in love with everything about this place when I saw it, and the hospitality they’ve shown us each and every time we’ve needed something has been top notch. I highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for that rustic country venue with a vintage charm (the bridal suite is ADORABLE!).
