Pricing

We strive to make your budgeting for a special event simple, by calculating the venue rental price at number of attendees times the duration (how many hours)—everything inclusive (see details below), so that you are not nickel and dimed with add-ons.

Hoedowns, Dances & Proms

We’ve been asked about hosting non-wedding events, and yes indeed, Barn Lights is perfect for all kinds of events—whatever special function that would be enhanced with rustic timber-frame elegance, soaring ceilings, informal ambiance and modern amenities.

As an example, we posted an article in our blog about High School Proms.
