Black Barn at Stone Creek

Black Barn at Stone Creek is a countryside event venue in Rantoul, Kansas, just outside the Kansas City area. Set across 40 acres of rolling prairie, the property combines a distinctive black barn with open lawns, wooded areas and peaceful outdoor spaces, giving organisers plenty of flexibility when planning a memorable gathering.

The venue is particularly suited to weddings, with options for ceremonies and receptions in several settings, including the barn, front lawn, arbor, barn stoop and koi pond. The spacious barn provides a rustic backdrop for dining, dancing and celebrations, while an outdoor dance floor, bar areas, fire pit and landscaped grounds help create a relaxed countryside atmosphere. The venue can accommodate up to 150 guests and includes tables, chairs, parking, outdoor restrooms and an on-site venue manager.

Wedding organisers can choose between single-day hire and a full wedding weekend experience. Weekend packages include access to the property from Friday through Sunday, a farmhouse for overnight accommodation, a bridal cottage and time for a rehearsal dinner or welcome gathering. The farmhouse can also be added separately for guests who would like to stay on site.

Beyond weddings, Black Barn at Stone Creek welcomes corporate retreats, ministry gatherings, family reunions, community events, school groups and other special occasions. The property offers an open vendor policy, allowing organisers to bring in their preferred caterers, decorators, entertainers and other event professionals. Its combination of natural scenery, flexible spaces and residential accommodation makes it a practical choice for organisers seeking a private venue with a peaceful rural setting near Kansas City.
