Your rental package includes a beautiful arbor and plenty of seating for your guests.

At The Barn we consider your fur babies as family! We would love for your pet(s) to be apart of your celebration! However, we can only allow your pet(s) on the Aspen Acres premises during the ceremony portion of your event. Additionally, we will hold you responsible for cleaning up after and caring for your pet(s) during their time with you at The Barn. If you'd like your pet(s) to attend your celebration, please feel free to reach out to our team and notify us PRIOR to your event day for pre-approval!

Unless a different time is agreed upon in advance, you will have access to the venue at 9:00 am on the morning of your event to begin setup and preparation.

We want to make a reality of your creative vision, so let your creativity flow! But please note our restrictions. We ask that only air-filled balloons be used for decoration inside The Barn. Please refrain from using staples, tape, or harmful adhesives on the walls, ceiling, and furnishings of The Barn. Any and all candles must be covered or in a container when lit. Taper candles are allowed, however, they need to have a “hurricane vase” covering the flame and something at the base to catch the wax. If wax spills/drips you will be responsible for cleaning and/or damages caused. We ask that all decor be removed from the Aspen Acres property by midnight the night of your event. If you're in doubt or have any questions, feel free to contact us!

Yes, The Barn does have an indoor-only PA system. However, it is set up to be used only for announcements and background music during dinner and decorating; it is not meant to replace a DJ.

Yes! The Barn does not offer any catering services, but we are happy to provide you with a list of pre-approved caterers for your event. However, if you choose to use another caterer, we simply ask that they be submitted to us for preapproval in writing beforehand. All caterers must carry insurance, as The Barn is not liable for any actions of caterers or other vendors. Under NO circumstances may outside alcoholic beverages be brought onto the Aspen Acres premises.

The Barn is able to provide plates, silverware, and glassware for your event. In order to use them however you must purchase one of the three cleaning packages we provide to insure that they get cleaned properly.

Each of our beautiful custom barnwood tables are 8 feet long and 3.5 feet wide, seat approx. 4 people on each side. To seat up to 400 guests, the Barn will provide 34 barnwood tables and 18 round tables (for which linen will be provided). All barnwood tables must be used before using rounds. Tables may be used for other purposes during your event such as for displays, gifts, and cakes.

The Barn at Aspen Acres offers a fully stocked (cash or host) beer, wine, and wine-based liquor bar. Bartender/s are included in the cost of your rental. No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed on premises under any circumstances. For more information or a beverage menu, feel free to inquire!

Our facility must be locked by midnight (12:00 AM) the evening of your event. All visitors (renters included) should be exiting the premises by this time. Because of this, we recommend shutting your dance down by 11:15 PM in order to allow enough time for removing your decorations, DJ tear down, and any cleaning.

Renter is responsible for cleanup, and should make a plan with The Barn in advance if assistance is needed or if looking for recommendations of outside sources who may be able to assist with this task. The Barn will provide a checklist of cleaning tasks that must be completed before leaving (at 12:00 AM), including: removal of all decorations, gifts, and personal property; as well as pickup of garbage, florals, flower petals, empty bottles, food or drinks, candy on the floor, parking lot trash, and cigarette butts. If cleanup is not adequate or damages have incurred, expenses may be removed from renter's security deposit and an itemized statement will be issued. Additionally, The Barn offers partial cleaning and full cleaning packages, available for you to add on to your rental. Please send an inquiry for pricing. We appreciate your respect for our business!

It is fine if a vehicle or two are left on property overnight, but this action is taken at renter's discretion. Aspen Acres is not a gated property, and we are not liable for any potential thefts or damages. We prefer everything to be removed by midnight the night of your event, if possible. No campers or motor homes are allowed onsite unless pre-approved, and they still need to be removed by midnight.

There are a few different options for hosting your rehearsal here at The Barn! - If we don't have an event the day before your wedding, you can add on our early access package, allowing you to come in to decorate and have your rehearsal/dinner at The Barn in the late afternoon/evening. - If there is a different event the day before your wedding, you can stop by for an hour, before noon, and can rehearse outside. Please reach out to us for pre-approval if you would like to do this, and we can confirm a time. If people go with this option, they usually go out for brunch after! - You can also do a quick run-through the morning of your wedding. - Coming soon, there will be an option to have your rehearsal at our A-Frame Social Hall! We are still in the building process, but this should become an option by August 2023. If we are unable to accommodate your rehearsal and dinner on site, you can host it offsite! Popular locations are Spearfish City Park, Miller Creek Pub, The Clubhouse, or an Airbnb.
