One of The Few Remaining Working Horse Farms
With acres and acres of pasture, BrighterDaze features a backdrop of natural beauty. Towering oak trees over 200 years old, weeping willows, and a picturesque koi pond are all set amidst the grounds of our working horse farm with 20+ horses to greet your guests.
What People Are Saying
“Went to a fundraiser here this past weekend and it was lovely. The workers were so gracious to us keeping us dry when we got out of our cars in the rain. Wonderful people and staff. Even got a cart ride back to the car once it was finished. First time being here, and I will definitely come back.”

10 Reasons BrighterDaze is Perfect for Your Event
-
BrighterDaze Farm is among the most beautiful farms in the Midwest. The grounds feature many oak trees over 200 years old, weeping willows blowing gently in the breeze, a large pond filled with colorful koi fish. BrighterDaze is one of the few barn venues around that is still a working horse farm with over 20 friendly horses that are excited to meet you.
-
In the center of these 50 acres is a very spacious renovated stable with many interesting features. The venue is 10,000 sq. ft. with a 3,000 sq. ft. patio off the back complete with a firepit. We can seat up to 280 people with room to spare for a stage, a dance floor or whatever you may want.
-
BrighterDaze is within 10 minutes of routes 71, 47, 34, 80, and 52. Travel is easy no matter which direction your guests are coming from. We have a ceremony site just outside the barn so there is no need for a cumbersome commute between ceremony and reception. We can park up to 250 cars and several buses. There are several hotels and resorts within 10 minutes of the farm and yes, you can leave your vehicles overnight if need be.
-
Your wedding will be the only one occurring that day and will receive our full attention.
-
We welcome you to bring your whole furry family. It is a horse farm, so if you have a long time friend with hooves they are welcome too.
-
Speakers placed all throughout the venue ensures an even distribution of sound that is audible everywhere but will not disrupt conversation.
-
Everyone has their own idea of the perfect event. We remain vendor flexible to accommodate everyone's style and preference. Our standard rental includes 12 hours of use to allow you and your vendors to cover every detail without a mad rush. We work hard to accommodate every unique request and give our customers the freedom to customize the layout for their event and we take care of the set up.
For those who do not want a DIY event, we offer day of coordination, planning consultations, and full service planning. You won't have to lift a finger. We can deliver a fun, stylish evening of cherished memories.
-
Unlike many barns and rustic venues we provide you with heated, air-conditioned, ADA compliant restrooms.
-
Our electrical system is oversized for our electrical demand. We have even accommodated 4 live bands at once! The entire complex is backed up on generators so you can party on no matter what.
-
Our online platform allows you to customize your floorplan with drag and drop tools, communicate with BrighterDaze admins, construct a custom itinerary and login to make payments at your convenience. We can also provide your vendors with access so they can see all the important details of your event.
