Why Couples Choose the Farm
Get Married on a Working Farm
Experience the charm and character of a working farm for your special day. Everything is designed to make your day as special and stress-free as possible. With one all inclusive package, you can focus on what matters most.
A rain plan to cover all possible scenarios
Get married anywhere on the farm. If the weather turns, the ceremony moves into the main hall, and the covered leisure area keeps cocktail hour dry.
A real working farm
Rows of spruce and dogwoods, corn and soybean fields, a pond and Harrods Creek for photos, and goats, pigs and mini donkeys your guests can meet.
Close to Louisville, but still tucked away
Six miles off the Gene Snyder in Goshen, with a drive in past the horse farms on US-42. Hotels in Springhurst are about 15 minutes away.
Meet Ian and Clair
The family that lives here runs your day
We're Ian and Clair Belknap, the fourth generation on a farm our family has worked since 1916. In 2020 we opened the barn our family renovated to couples, and we've been on site for every wedding since.
Clair is our venue planner. She handles the emails, calls, tours and booking, and she runs the early morning activities on your wedding day. Ian takes over in the afternoon and runs the evening of your event. The two of us handle the parking ourselves. We're a family that wants you to leave the farm happier than you came.
We started hosting weddings because we wanted to share the charm and beauty of our quiet, tucked away farm with our fellow Southern Indiana and Louisville residents. We have made so many happy memories in this beautiful place and felt it was only right to share it with the world.

“Thank you Clair and Ian for helping our son have a perfect and magical wedding. We were allowed to hire the caterers and bartenders of our choice which is hard to find in a venue.”
“The lil' gem of Oldham County. Gives you an outdoor feel without the panic of ‘what are we going to do if it rains?’ Bathrooms and kitchen are perfect. Outdoor deck is fab.”

Questions Couples Ask
The answers to the most common questions
These come up on nearly every tour. For the rest, see the full FAQ or ask us when you visit.
Is the barn air-conditioned?
The main hall is cooled by four 60-inch windmill fans, two 36-inch Big Ass Fans and the breeze through the barn doors. The bridal suite, groom's room and both restrooms are fully climate controlled.
Can we bring our own caterer and alcohol?
Yes to both. You choose your caterer, and you can bring your own alcohol as long as a licensed and insured bartender serves it. Linens, plates, silverware and glassware come from your caterer or a rental vendor.
What happens if it rains?
Your ceremony moves into the main hall, which seats everyone, and the covered leisure area keeps cocktail hour outside and dry. We also have a generator on site in case of bad weather.
How many guests can the barn hold?
The barn is zoned for 200 guests, with tables and chairs for all 200 included. The main lot parks 54 cars, with auxiliary parking for the rest.
When can we set up, and when do we clean up?
Your rental runs from 8am to 11pm, so you can start decorating at 8am on the day. Clean-up is done the same evening. Amplified music ends at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 8pm on other nights.
Can our guests visit the animals?
Yes. Guests love meeting the goats, pot-bellied pigs and mini donkeys, and one of us will be there to guide the visit. We don't offer bonfires or fishing during events.
Where can out-of-town guests stay?
There's no lodging on the farm. The Drury Inn & Suites Louisville North and the Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Northeast in Springhurst are about 15 minutes away, off the Gene Snyder at Brownsboro Road.
When is the farm open for events?
Our season runs April through November, seven days a week. We don't host December events.
