One of the most acclaimed barn wedding venues in Montgomery, Texas, Miller’s Creek Rustic Events is perfect for a rustic-chic wedding ceremony and reception. It offers an idyllic setting of wildflowers, winding trails, trees sparkling with lights, a farm-style gazebo, and a decorated old barn. The sprawling eight-acre property also features a vineyard.

For the ceremony, you’ll journey past charming, free-standing barn doors and down a pathway that leads to a lattice arbor to exchange your vows. It’s a quintessential setting for an outdoor wedding. From there, you and your guests will migrate to the red barn where handmade ship-lap, eight-foot-long farm tables, round tables (including linens), wedding chairs, various styles of furniture, an indoor/outdoor bar and patio, decor, special lighting, and more await.

To ensure it can accommodate a range of budgets, the event venue provides various wedding packages that can cover everything from centerpieces to a quaint bridal suite.

2. Big Sky Barn

A venue emanating southern charm, Big Sky Barn offers a mix of country comforts and old-world elegance. Most couples choose to exchange vows in the serene, 3,250-square-foot chapel. This space has walls of solid oak planks and features a 26-foot-tall wall of antique windows that were part of the Pure Oil Company steel pump house in 1903. The classic pews were also found in an abandoned Presbyterian church in Wheeling, West Virginia, and are believed to be hand-carved sometime between 1884-1889.

After a dreamy ceremony in the chapel, you’ll enjoy a reception in the jaw-dropping barn. This space includes large, reclaimed timber beams and oak, hemlock, and pine boards sourced from old buildings, barns, factories, and homes from the Northeastern United States.

The steel windows are over 112 years old and repurposed from the Carnegie Steel Building built in 1903. The barn’s weathered tin ceiling was also sourced from this building. Meanwhile, the crowning jewel of the barn is the double-sided stone fireplace that’s over three stories high. Essentially, this enchanting venue is brimming with history and is perfect for a dream wedding with vintage vibes.

Capacity: 230

Typical Cost: $4,900 – $10,900

Bonus: The property is filled with amazing backdrops for big day photos. A large, wooden bridge and scenic trails are two popular options.
