A restored horse barn in the Indiana countryside

Welcome to Hidden Brook Acres

Hidden Brook Acres is a former horse farm on ten quiet acres just outside Shelbyville, IN. We restored the original barn with care, kept its weathered character, and added the comforts your guests will appreciate.

Say your vows on the lawn in front of the barn, then celebrate inside under the lights. You choose your caterer, photographer, DJ and every other vendor, and our team helps your day run smoothly from setup to the last dance.

Vows on the lawn, with the barn as your backdrop

Your ceremony takes place on the open lawn in front of the barn, framed by trees and the rustic wood of the barn itself.

If the weather does not cooperate, we simply move the ceremony inside the barn, so you have a plan either way.

A warm, glowing barn for the celebration

Inside, string lights, original wood and soft curtains set the mood for dinner and dancing. The barn seats approximately 150 guests indoors, and the outdoor spaces welcome up to 300. Each rental also includes:

  • Bridal suite and groom's room

  • Two permanent indoor restrooms

  • Thirty 60-inch round tables and 400 white chairs

  • Barn-wood and pallet bars, plus oak whiskey barrels

  • Staff for setup, teardown and event flow, plus a parking attendant
