The Rugged Horizon Wedding & Event Venue
A Hand-Crafted Barn
The Rugged Horizon wedding and event venue is a spacious, family-built barn that can accommodate events of up to 150 people. We host events year-round. Open the barn doors in spring and summer for elegant indoor-outdoor receptions; in fall and winter, cozy up inside our heated venue.
