Welcome to Backwoods Barn – where rustic charm meets timeless elegance in the heart of Central Iowa. Just a short drive from Des Moines, our family-owned and operated venue sits atop Iowa’s rolling hills, offering breathtaking views in every season.

Inspired by the joy of watching our three daughters marry, we fell in love with the wedding industry and created a place where couples can craft the celebration of their dreams. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, you’ll enjoy flexibility for your ceremony and reception—rain or shine. We welcome you to choose the vendors that fit your vision, ensuring your day is as unique as your love story.

Whether you envision a cozy winter gathering or a golden summer celebration, Backwoods Barn provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.
Schedule your tour today and let’s start planning the magical day you’ve always imagined.
