About
Our barn was originally built in 1861 in Northern Indiana. We moved and rebuilt it in Howard, Colorado (just 15 minutes outside of Salida, CO) in 2019 to become a rustic yet elegant backdrop to wedding celebrations. Our wedding barn is ideal for couples looking to frame their memorable event with the simple beauty of the outdoors and the vintage charm of an old barn.
We offer an intimate space for your guests for your ceremony and reception. Our 1890’s 11 acre property is an active farm complete with honey bees, growing hops, hay pastures and more. We are located on the Arkansas River. Our gorgeous views of the 13,000 foot Twin Sister peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range are the perfect backdrop for your I Do’s.

Our dream wedding
The best thing that could have happened to us was our previous venue cancelling on us just weeks before our wedding. Amazingly, Ali and her team at the Barn at Howard Creek Farm just happened to have our exact date open up the day we lost that venue, and the rest was is history!
The Barn at Howard Creek Farm was the rustic, elegant and romantic setting that I had dreamed of and the perfect place to bring my vision to life. Between the ceremony site, the bridal suite, the surrounding landscape, and the barn itself, everything came together and our guests couldn’t stop raving about they’re experience. Thank you Ali and the Barn at Howard Creek Farm!

This venue is a dream come true and so are Aly & Orlin! The views and landscape are gorgeous for everyone to enjoy and extra special for photos and film. I used Aly as my coordinator as well and couldn't have been happier I did. Aly is kind, super responsive, knowledgable, organized, detail-oriented, patient, and flexible. She and Orlin made us feel at ease and excited from day one when we toured the venue with masks on in the start of COVID-19, which continued as we did our walk through with my mom, and finally on our wedding day. This place and these people are incredible, and you definitely want them as your wedding day team!!!

Rustic Chic/Boho Wedding Venue
My husband and I loved the idea of getting married near Salida, Colorado. We had always enjoyed the town and the views of the mountains. We came across The Barn at Howard Creek Farm and after the tour we fell instantly in love with the venue. The views of the mountains from the ceremony site are to die for, and the mis-matched antique chairs in the barn give it a classy and rustic/boho vibe. Aly, the venue owner, has also been a wedding planner for over 14 years and offers her services as a wedding coordinator. She was extremely responsive, usually responding to my emails within the hour! This venue was the absolute perfect place for our wedding and we would not have changed a single thing!
