The Dells Barn Music & Events

Fall 2024

“The beauty of The Dells Barn (Music & Events) is breath-taking.  Immediately our eyes grew big and we knew it was our place for our ceremony." 

“Being able to have each side of the barn open to the outside was pure heaven. A light breeze flowed through and it made our day magical."

“The vintage ticket booth and super cool serving center at the entrance of the barn made our wedding unique.  They were also fantastic for our photos!"
