The Church Barn

About

The Church Barn is a rustic wedding venue set in Hawthorne, Florida. Originally built to be a church and then a family's barn to house horses, The Church Barn suddenly became an obvious place to hold people for a country-style ceremony or reception. Allow your wedding day to be framed by the ornate craftsmanship from this historical church turned modern barn.

Facilities and Capacity
The Church Barn is situated on 80 private acres in North Central Florida. This land provides much outdoor space to take pictures and even host your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. This private property is also beneficial because it is not restricted by noise ordinances and curfews. The inside of the elegant barn has a certain ambiance that comes with the religious history and now family-owned aspects. The Church Barn can accommodate up to 200 of your closest friends and family with room for tents, trucks and trailers.

  • Bridal suite

The Church Barn was a BEAUTIFUL Venue in Hawthorne FL. The barn owner was extremely helpful and really made us feel so at home. He would always text me with updates on new things such as chandeliers, a boutique chair, and different things that help spruce up the place. I would 100% recommend this place to others. It's truly a wonderful experience!

The Church Barn is the perfect location if your looking for a beautiful, unique location for your wedding and/or reception. The Kearley's were incredibly helpful, kind and made the whole planning process a lot less stressful. We had our ceremony inside the barn with the horses in a few stalls, luncheon in the barn itself, and then just outside the barn is a picturesque grassy field with mossy trees which was ideal for our photo session. My guests loved the environment out of the city, and the quiet and peaceful nature of this location. We loved every part of our day at The Church Barn, it couldn't have gone any better or been any more beautiful! Thank you Dick!

If you are looking for a barn type setting for your event, look no further. Florida Sun Farms / The Church Barn is sheer perfection. Mr. Kearly is the most kind and accommodating person I have ever met. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Our wedding had just under 100 people and there was more than enough room to sit, eat, dance, sit around a bon fire, play games, children to run free and enjoy the scenery. I could not have wished for a more perfect day. The venue is perfect for weddings but would also be perfect for corporate events, birthday parties, family reunions or any other gatherings. Even nearly 2 weeks after our wedding we are still receiving compliments on the location, scenery and perfection of it all. Florida Sun Farms was our piece of heaven and wedding perfection. I could not have asked for more.
