​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!
