​The English Barn story began the way all good stories do – with love. Our passion for watching timeless stories come to life fuels everything we do.

Behind the Scenes

We pray this beautiful countryside will be home to countless of weddings and memories.

As the doors began to open with friends introducing us to the perfect property, now known as The English Barn at Lily Creek Farm, I knew God had a plan. Our first wedding took place in April of 2021. We felt a flood of emotions as we opened the doors and that passion continues today. The Lord has truly blessed us even though we are so undeserving, and we are so very thankful for what HE has given us. We believe family is a very important part of life, so we wanted to build a place to help you celebrate all of life’s most important events!


Opening Doors, Hearts & Minds

From the Owners

We donate to the Teen Challenge Programs: a Christian faith-based housing program, intended to provide rehabilitation services to people struggling with addiction.




We love our couples and we love our community! That's why a portion of every wedding or event booked will be donated to a local non-profit. When you work with us, you're impacting the lives of those around you. Not only do we donate a portion of every wedding or event booked with us, we can also donate your leftover flowers to a local nursing home on your behalf and spread the love.
