About

On WeddingWire since 2016

At Sonshine Barn, we believe in turning your wedding dreams into a reality, creating enchanting memories that last a lifetime. Nestled in the heart of Gaylord, Michigan, our picturesque multi-day weekend wedding venue offers a truly magical setting for couples seeking an upscale and extraordinary celebration.

Our centerpiece is a beautifully crafted barn, uniquely designed to blend rustic charm with modern elegance. Equipped with both heating and air conditioning, the barn provides a versatile and comfortable space for your festivities, regardless of the season. The surrounding 26 acres of breathtaking countryside offer a serene and private backdrop, ensuring that your special day is as unique as your love story.

Sonshine Barn goes beyond just a venue – our farmhouse, with its cozy accommodations, is the perfect home away from home for your bridal party or guests. With the ability to sleep up to 24 guests, the farmhouse becomes a hub of pre-wedding excitement and post-wedding relaxation.

Our venue is not just a place for ceremonies and receptions; it's a destination where joy and celebration echo throughout. The clubhouse, complete with a basketball court, invites playful moments, while the outdoor arbor provides a romantic setting for your vows. Our lighted parking lot ensures convenience for your guests, and a walk-in cooler ensures beverages stay refreshingly cool.

Sonshine Barn understands the importance of details. That's why we provide more than just a beautiful space. Tables and chairs are at your disposal, making your planning process seamless. We want your focus to be on creating memories, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Dedicated Support:
For our upscale brides, we offer a personalized experience. Each bride is paired with a dedicated wedding planner, supported by an assistant on the day of the wedding. Your vision becomes our mission, and we take pride in ensuring every detail is meticulously executed.

Despite our rural setting, Sonshine Barn is just minutes away from the heart of Gaylord, offering the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility.

At Sonshine Barn, we don't just host weddings; we curate experiences. Let us be the canvas for your love story – a masterpiece waiting to be unveiled. Contact us today to begin the journey toward your dream wedding.

Dream wedding turned reality.

Dear Sonshine Barn Family,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the amazing job you did on Megan and I’s wedding on 01 August 2020. We could not have been happier with the overall turnout. Sarah did a wonderful job with overall planning, décor, and vendor recommendations, and Amber did an impeccable job with planning, organization, and day of coordination. The amount of detail that Amber put forth on the day of the wedding, definitely impacted the overall success of the night. To keep my group of groomsmen in line and ensure everything went flawless was no easy task, but she was able to handle it perfectly. Between the two, they made the wedding of our dreams a reality.
I was very skeptical of moving the reception from inside the barn, to splitting it inside and outside, but your team made it possible to eliminate any doubt that I may have had. The safety precautions that were implemented, as well as the dual reception areas, removed any doubt that our guests health were largely taken into consideration prior to allowing us to move forward with our ceremony. The setup inside the barn, and outside in the tent, could not have been more perfect. Even though our guests were seated outside for dinner, they were not isolated from the wedding festivities due to the added bench seating inside. Once our wedding moments were captured within the barn, the party commenced in the tent and under the beautiful sky.
Overall, the way your team handled the whole COVID-19 situation, constant changes, and governors’ orders to make our day special was nothing short of exceptional. Once again, we would like to thank you for making our dreams come true.
Best of luck on your future weddings, and hopefully everyone will have the same happily ever after story as we did.

Perfect venue for our best day ever!

Sonshine Barn won our hearts over the minute we stepped foot on the property. We are so glad we chose this place to host our wedding. It’s been about 2 months since we got married and people are still constantly talking about how fun our weekend was! We had a great experience with all of the women that worked with us and having a day-of coordinator made our day flow so nicely! We wish we could go back and relive it all one more time.
