Rustic elegance for your dream venue, special event or celebration. Designed for flexibility, our space lets you create your perfect atmosphere.

Spin Your Sound from the Silo

At Black Walnut Event Venue, even the DJ booth is unforgettable. 

Crafted from a repurposed vintage farm silo, this one-of-a-kind structure adds rustic charm and personality to your event. With its weathered metal exterior and custom-built interior, the Silo Booth serves as a stylish focal point for your reception, blending seamlessly into the venue’s countryside aesthetic. Whether you're hosting a DJ, live music, or simply using it as a sound station, the silo provides a standout setting that guests will talk about long after the last dance. It’s rustic. It’s unexpected. It’s uniquely Black Walnut.

Scenic Outdoor Space

Black Walnut’s outdoor space was designed with both beauty and function in mind. From sunset ceremonies on our elevated limestone stage, to lawn games under café lights, this open-air setting offers endless opportunities to make your event memorable.


Surrounded by open skies and rustic charm, the space includes ample room for outdoor seating, a fenced-in basketball court perfect for keeping kids entertained, and plenty of picturesque spots for your photographer to capture timeless moments.

The Farmhouse at Black Walnut

Tucked just steps away from the main venue, our charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath Farmhouse offers the perfect home base for your wedding weekend. 

With enough space to comfortably sleep nine guests and plenty of room for air mattresses, it’s an ideal spot for your wedding party to stay, get ready, and relax before and after the big day.
Featuring a fully furnished kitchen, cozy common areas, and peaceful countryside views, the Farmhouse blends rustic character with modern comfort.
It’s more than a place to stay—it’s part of your story.
