THE FArMHOUSE BARN
Amy Gustafson and Savannah Horst have always envisioned building a wedding and event venue, and one night over cocktails at Murphy’s Pub & Grill in Rapid City, it became a reality. Both mothers and nurses by trade, they built The Farmhouse Barn from the ground up with the help of family and friends. The Sturgis venue opened in 2019, offering one day to three day rentals for the space, as well as decorating and coordinating packages. A full bar, outdoor power, patio spaces with lawn games, and a vintage truck for photo opps are all available. Additionally, a marquee sign can be customized to welcome guests to the wedding. All packages include access to The Farmhouse Cottage —a separate bridal suite with a makeup bar, full bathroom and shower, kitchenette, heat and air, and a pull-out sofa. The cottage can also be added on as a honeymoon suite. The barn can host 50 to over 400 people, with different spaces inside and out allowing for versatile planning. Horst says her and Gustafson’s “down-to-earth” nature sets them apart from other venues. “We are very easy going, and we also want the best for each of our guests. We want them to feel like they are a part of The Farmhouse Barn family,” she said. The co-owners’ favorite part of weddings is watching guests kick back and have fun, using the outdoor spaces to have s’mores around the fire, dance, and play cornhole. “It makes us so happy to watch all our guests enjoying themselves inside and outside, and utilizing the full property,” said Horst.
