The Big Barn

The Big Barn is a countryside wedding and event venue set across approximately 100 acres near Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Its main attraction is a beautifully restored historic barn that combines original timber character, stone details and warm rustic styling with the practical comforts needed for a modern celebration.

The venue is designed primarily for weddings, from intimate ceremonies to larger receptions, and provides a flexible setting for couples who want their day to feel personal and connected to the surrounding landscape. Ceremonies can take place inside the barn or outdoors on the open grounds, while receptions, dinners and dancing can be arranged in the climate-controlled interior. The property also offers ample parking, accessible facilities and open areas suitable for outdoor dining, lawn games, photographs and tented activities.

For event organisers, the countryside setting creates plenty of opportunities to shape a full celebration around the venue. Couples can plan a ceremony, cocktail reception and evening party across different parts of the property, with the barn providing a welcoming focal point as the day moves into the evening. The surrounding hills, valley views, mature landscape and natural light offer attractive backdrops for wedding photography throughout the day.

The Big Barn can also suit rehearsal dinners, family gatherings and multi-day wedding weekends. Its relaxed rural atmosphere works particularly well for organisers looking for an alternative to a hotel ballroom or formal function centre. The venue team invites couples to discuss their plans, view the property and create a celebration that makes use of both the historic barn and the scenic outdoor grounds.
