The Becky Ann Barn

The Becky Ann Barn at Ed-Mar Farm is a countryside venue in Walton, Kentucky, for weddings, private celebrations, reunions and company events. Set beside a tree-lined meadow, it pairs rural surroundings with the character of a more than 100-year-old barn. Reclaimed timber, hand-hewn beams, crystal chandeliers and modern lighting give the interior a mix of rustic detail and polished finish.

Organisers can use the grounds for an outdoor ceremony and the barn for a reception or gathering. The venue provides tables and chairs, outdoor pew benches, buffet and cocktail tables, a bar, a commercial refrigerator and other practical event furnishings. Its open, adaptable setting can be styled to suit different occasions, from a small gathering to a larger celebration. The venue says its outdoor seating accommodates around 160 people and its indoor round-table layout seats up to 256.

The barn is offered as a venue rental rather than a full-service catering package. Organisers can bring their own food, caterer or food truck, along with drinks and decorations, and the venue shares recommendations for local event suppliers. Set-up, take-down and cleaning are generally handled by clients, with support available at additional cost. There is no built-in restroom, heating or air conditioning, so planners should discuss seasonal arrangements and portable facilities when making plans.

Located within reach of Cincinnati and Lexington, The Becky Ann Barn offers event planners a distinctive farm setting with the flexibility to shape the occasion around their own suppliers and ideas. Tours can be arranged by contacting the venue.
