This was everything I could have imagined and more. My guests were blown away at the venue. It was so nice getting to stay at the farm house with everyone in my bridal party. The guys loved the club house getting to hangout there. We got there Thursday to have extra time to hangout and relax and enjoy everything. Everyone on the staff is wonderful and super helpful.Posted on Google![]()

Very poor signage and directions to the event. An OK location. The barn was clean but just a barn. And reference their rely - If there were signs, people might be able to find those things.Posted on Google![]()

I honestly couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding day. From the moment we chose Sonshine Barn, we knew it was a beautiful venue, but experiencing our wedding there exceeded every expectation. The natural beauty of the property is breathtaking, and the entire team made the day feel effortless. A huge thank you to Veronica and Toree—they truly went above and beyond. They paid attention to every little detail and took the ideas I shared, bringing them to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I envisioned. Having people who genuinely cared about making our day special meant the world to us. The farmhouse was also an absolute game changer. Being able to have so many of our closest friends and family stay together on the property made the whole weekend feel even more meaningful. We were able to spend extra time together, make lasting memories, and truly soak in every moment. We are so grateful to everyone at Sonshine Barn for making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an amazing team that truly cares about your experience, I can't recommend Sonshine Barn enough. Thank you for giving us a day we'll never forget!Posted on Google![]()

Sonshine Barn was truly the perfect venue for our dream wedding! We had the most amazing experience from start to finish. Veronica, our wedding planner, was absolutely incredible and truly made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She thought of every single detail, was always the best communicator when we had questions, and went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process. We didn’t have to lift a finger for set up, decorating, or take down — Veronica handled everything and made our wedding day feel effortless. The venue itself was everything we dreamed of and more. The property is absolutely beautiful, and every detail of Sonshine Barn made our weekend feel so special. The farmhouse and clubhouse were such fun spaces for us and our guests to enjoy throughout the weekend and made the experience feel like so much more than just one day. We are so grateful we chose Sonshine Barn — it was truly the perfect setting for our dream wedding and an experience we will never forget!Posted on Google![]()

Overall beautiful venue and good location for out of town guests. A bit difficult with communication between the venue with a few things we would have like to know about prior to the big day. The farmhouse is an added bonus, and very nice to have the entire venue Friday-Sunday.
