Here at The Barn, we offer both indoor and outdoor ceremony set-ups for up to 400 guests on your wedding day. Our stunning outdoor ceremony site offers an expansive panoramic view of the Black Hills. You can choose to face the Rolling Hills or Crow Peak to provide your perfect, picturesque backdrop for your wedding ceremony. If the weather doesn't cooperate with your outdoor plans, or if a winter wedding is your dream, we also offer the use of our 4,900 square foot modern reception hall. Several stunning chandelier fixtures hang above the aisle, and large windows frame you and your forever with the beauty of the Black Hills. Our staff will take care of all the details in transitioning from your indoor ceremony to your reception.

Crow Peak
Crow Peak is one of three peaks that form a crown surrounding Spearfish valley. The iconic mountain dominates the western horizon of Spearfish forming a backdrop for the city. A trail to the summit climbs 1,600 feet over 3.5 miles and reaches an elevation 5760 feet. Making for a great view from Aspen Acres, adding even more beauty to your big day.
