If you're not in, or near, a country area, you're missing out on a hot new wedding trend. One of the fastest growing hot spots for wedding receptions (and ceremonies) is far from the main stream reception halls of yester-year, or even the trendy "industrial-esque" atmospheres of recent popularity.
These aren't your ordinary barns:

This is the Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan (just outside of St. Joseph/Benton Harbor). The barn was orginally a dairy barn, owned by the House of David, which was a religious commune back in the early 1900's. It has since been lovingly renovated by artist amy briske and her husband. The barn can seat a maximum of 280 people, and offers a kitchen, bar, stage for live music, 3 balconies, as well as fire pits and a ceremony site. The Blue Dress barn is truly a unique and beautiful venue that you just have to see to appreciate! (I'm picturing some delicious cherries on the tables!)
