Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Rusty Star Barn, Nicktown

A wedding at Rusty Star Barn in Nicktown is casual and rustic, on a quiet country farm between Ebensburg and Indiana. There's a pond on the property and open farm country around the barn, so your photographer and videographer have room to wander with you between the ceremony and the dancing.

You can hold everything here: the wedding ceremony on site, cocktails on the 12-by-100-foot patio, and your wedding reception inside the barn for up to 200 guests at round tables with white wooden chairs. The bridal suite has a dressing area, a living room, a restroom and a loft, so getting-ready pictures happen right where the day begins. The venue doesn't say where on the grounds ceremonies take place, so ask on your tour.

Rusty Star Barn provides no decorations and has no kitchen, so you bring your own style and hire an outside caterer (the venue shares local suggestions), along with your own DJ or musicians. There's an inside bar, and the venue supplies two RAMP-certified bartenders through its insured vendor. On your wedding day the barn is yours from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and music ends half an hour before close, so plan the last dance with your videographer in mind. Parking holds up to 100 cars plus a bus, and everything from the accessible parking to the patio is on one flat level.

• Check the online calendar and pricing before booking a tour.
• Arrange wedding day insurance and your caterer early.
• Walk the grounds with your photographer to plan wedding photos, and ask about photo and video guidelines.

A little about Rusty Star Barn

The farm has been in the same family for many years, though it is no longer a working farm. After hosting a family wedding there, the family opened the barn so other couples could enjoy it too.
