Backwoods Barn was created with love by a family of three daughters on our family farm in Lacona, Iowa, just a short drive from Des Moines. When planning wedding number three, we decided to build a barn that was more than just a barn—it became a dream wedding venue where rustic charm meets elegant details.

​

Today, Backwoods Barn offers couples a romantic Iowa wedding venue with breathtaking countryside views, rolling hills, and unforgettable sunsets. Our space blends country vibes with glamorous touches, creating the perfect backdrop for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations.

​

Couples enjoy use of our venue amenities, including a bridal suite, outdoor ceremony site, elegant reception barn with romantic lighting, kitchen and bar area, and an outdoor tent for additional seating. The barn was built with couples in mind, so you can relax and focus on making memories.

We would be honored to host your celebration and help make your wedding day everything you’ve dreamed of. Schedule a tour by reaching out below and discover why Backwoods Barn is the perfect fit for your big day!
