Sonshine Barn Wedding & Event Center

Sonshine Barn Wedding & Event Center is a countryside venue in Gaylord, Michigan, where couples can bring their ceremony and reception together in one setting. The property combines a heated and air-conditioned barn for celebrations of up to 250 guests with landscaped grounds for outdoor ceremonies, photographs and time together between wedding events.

The venue is designed around a weekend stay rather than a few hours in a function room. Its wedding package gives couples access to the barn and grounds, a private bridal suite, tables and chairs, and planning support from a wedding planner and assistant. The barn also has a bar, a caterers' preparation room and a walk-in cooler, helping organisers coordinate food and drinks with their chosen catering team. Couples can discuss their requirements with the venue when arranging their celebration.

Accommodation and leisure facilities on the property give wedding parties and guests more ways to spend time together. The farmhouse sleeps up to 24 people and includes bedrooms, living areas and a kitchen. A separate clubhouse features a half-court basketball gym, billiards, bathrooms and a small kitchen. Guests can also make use of the outdoor deck, putting green and playground.

The venue welcomes enquiries about special events as well as weddings. Its flexible indoor and outdoor spaces can suit different wedding styles, from intimate gatherings to larger receptions. Located close to downtown Gaylord and within reach of other Northern Michigan towns, Sonshine Barn offers event planners a dedicated setting with room for the celebration, preparation and overnight stays in one place.
