The venue is a hidden gem in southern MN for weddings and events. The property is beautiful and well-maintained. As the wedding photographer, Chad and Jayne ensured all the details were covered. Rain was in the forecast during the ceremony times, but Chad and Jayne had a backup plan if needed. Jayne would check in and offer me snacks/water throughout the day. These two poured their soul, resources, and lives into this property so others could have a memorable wedding day. Sincerely,

A week and a half ago, I got to experience my dream wedding! I don’t know that I can accurately articulate just how amazing our experience was at The Barn of Chapeau Shores!
From the moment we pulled into the parking lot and walked in the door to tour the space a year ago, I knew this was the venue for our dream barn wedding! The landscaping is amazing, and everything on the inside is stunning!
Jayne and Chad were so easy and great to work with! From answering random questions along the way, to helping make sure everything was laid out perfectly for the reception and ceremony, and even helping with take down, we couldn’t of asked for a better, nearly stress free experience!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jayne and Chad!!
Brody and I got married here August 25, 2022. We got compliments the whole night about how beautiful the venue was. I wanted that rustic theme and the venue was just perfect for our dream wedding, and I love the fact that Jayne rents her own decor. It was very helpful. This was the first venue we looked at and we just instantly knew that this was the one. We loved the fact that it had AC and bathrooms. Not only was the venue beautiful but Jayne and Chad were very welcoming, flexible and respectful of every idea we had. She communicated with us very well and was checking up on us on our big day. We had no experience hosting any kind of event and had a lot of questions and she was able to guide us into the right direction and even helped set things up as we were getting ready. They really kept things as stress free as they could. We really felt like we and our wedding mattered.
My husband and I got married at the Barn of Chapeau Shores on July 30, 2022. We actually selected this venue without visiting in person first because of the impressive photos and positive reviews. When we got to the venue for the first time to meet Jayne and Chad, we were blown away by the beauty and cleanliness of the property. There was a sense of calm and serenity within the barn that we both felt on that day and our wedding day. Air conditioning was a high priority for us since we planned a summer wedding, and the barn stayed cool and comfortable all night, even with nearly 200 people mingling inside. Almost every guest we talked to commented on how beautiful the barn and surrounding area were, and many said it was the best wedding venue they had ever been to (we agree!). My husband and I had very little knowledge on how to run an event of this magnitude, but Jayne and Chad were there every step of the way and were hands on and helpful when we needed them. They had an abundance of expertise that they were more than willing to share with us, and were polite, professional, and patient with us throughout the entire process. They caught potential issues before they ever happened, offered suggestions when we weren’t sure on a decision, and were so generous and thoughtful every step of the way. Thank you, Jayne and Chad, for helping facilitate the wedding we had envisioned all along!
I cannot say enough great things about the owners of The Barn of Chapeau Shores. The venue has so many beautiful areas for pictures! The owners take the time to ensure the landscaping is beautiful for your day. They are so accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make your day extra special. When we toured this barn, my top priority was to find a venue that would be wheelchair friendly for my dad. This was one of the only venues that I felt was truly accessible for my dad. We were married at the barn 6/25/22 and were so happy with the owners. They truly care about the couples that rent out the barn. We would HIGHLY recommend booking your event here!
The Barn of Chapeau Shores transformed into a vibrant beautiful venue. Chad and Jayne have made every detail perfect from the outside to the breathtaking inside of this barn. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better they opened The Cottage.
The Cottage has so many personal touches and attention to detail is not lacking. Both of these venues will take your breath away. Memories will be made for a lifetime to cherish. Thank you Chad and Jayne, The Barn of Chapeau Shores is simply gorgeous.
If there was a grade above 5 stars, it would be magical. The Barn of Chapeau Shores is magical. It is a gorgeous venue both inside and outside and is immaculately maintained. Even more than that the owners, Jayne and Chad, are magical. They were there every step of the way with their calm presence. They worked constantly and tirelessly throughout the entire weekend of our rental. As an example, at one point, I noticed Jayne helping my sister carry my elderly mom’s dinner plate back to the table. Jayne and Chad are experienced and can answer any question and provide guidance (if needed). They took on so many of the tasks that we hadn’t thought of and attended to countless details that I don’t imagine most venues would have taken care of. They always went above and beyond our expectations or hopes. Rarely, have I experienced their level of customer care and over so many hours. The vendors that Jayne and Chad recommended were also outstanding and went above and beyond expectations. Thank you, Jayne and Chad! Cindy (mother of the bride and proud mother-in-law).
We got married at this beautiful venue this past weekend and it was even better than we could have imagined! The main stress we had was the rain and even that went off without a hitch! Thankyou Jayne and Chad for being so prepared for anything the day could throw at us and giving us our outside wedding it will truly be unforgettable and a day to cherish forever, it was so perfect! We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone wanting a beautiful, smooth sailing and ready for anything place to get married. We were not disappointed! We had also rented the “cottage” next door for our wedding party and ourselves and we would do it again in a heartbeat, so many memories were made!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with The Barn of Chapeau Shores for many weddings over the last few years. The environment provided by this venue, and the owners dedication to not only the venue but your event as well, is something you don’t see often.
Beautiful venue, accommodating owners and great location! I highly recommend them for any event you have coming up. You won’t be disappointed.
Hope to be back there soon!
Jayne and Chad are the nicest couple to work with!! They made the wedding I attended be so special and beautiful for not just the bride and groom but everyone in attendance! Definitely recommend this beautiful place to everyone who needs to book an event!
Amazing!! we had our wedding at the barn of chapeau shores and it was nothing but perfect! Jayne and Chad were wonderful to work with. they gave great advice on what had worked and didn’t work at their past events and guided us to our perfect day! Jayne and Chad were also there the day before our wedding and the day of our wedding to help out in any way. the details they have were out of this world. and to be able to rent items from them was very easy. I didn’t worry about a thing all day. the Barn is gorgeous inside and out. their property has everything you’d need for a wedding big or small. we rented their cottage as well for our wedding. . . a great perk! we’d pick the Barn of chapeau shores 100 times over for our wedding. Thank you, Jayne & Chad!!
The Barn of Chapeau Shores can really do it all! We hosted a beautiful life celebration there, and Jayne and Chad made it easy for us. They assisted on the day of the event and helped create a great experience for everyone that attended.
This venue is absolutely stunning. The owners are amazing and pay attention to even the smallest detail. Having heat and air and ADA bathrooms are an incredible perk. The landscaping makes for a great backdrop for pictures. Overall, this is my favorite venue that I have ever been to.
Beautiful venue with fantastic people running it. Chad and Jayne are absolutely phenomenal to work with. They really care about their guest’s experience and work very hard to accommodate their needs.
I own a wedding entertainment company called Ambient Entertainment LLC, and I had the pleasure of serving at The Barn of Chapeau Shores. The owners were highly professional and fantastic to work with. You can absolutely sense the passion they have for their craft! Don’t believe me? Check them out for yourself, and ask how they built this venue. Working alongside them to truly serve our special couple was wonderful. This has to be one of the classiest barn venues I have ever served at, not only a beautiful aesthetic but also air conditioning to save you on the dog days of summer! Anyone in southern MN looking for a great venue needs to tour The Barn of Chapeau Shores.
Love the beauty of the place, the sound and the atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The perfect wedding place, amazing bar and service!
We cannot express enough how great it was to have our wedding at the Barn of Chapeau Shores. The owners have put an extreme amount of time and passion into their venue and it really shows! The inside is amazing, the outside is gorgeous, and everything is clean. They were on-site all day for our ceremony and reception setting up chairs, taking down tables, and tending to our needs as necessary. Jayne even helped my wife with her wedding dress as we went around the property taking our pictures! If you’re looking for a venue, make sure you take a tour of the place and get ALL of the details as to what’s included with your rental and you’ll see that you won’t get a better value for the beauty and effort included. Also, they now have a house adjacent to the property that is now also available to rent as well, for visiting family, or if you’re renting from out of town, putting the Barn within walking distance (literally).
Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at The Barn of Chapeau Shores and we can’t recommend it enough to anyone out there looking for a place to hold a reception. The Barn is obviously a beautiful venue, as anyone can see if you go visit. But, Jayne and Chad go above and beyond making sure everything is done to your highest expectations. You can tell this is more than just a business to them. Thank you Jayne and Chad.
Chad and Jayne – You both went far above our expectations and we are so beyond grateful for ALL you did to make Blake and Brianna’s day even more perfect than we had hoped! The video you made is beyond priceless, the barn was magical. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Thank you Chad and Jayne for providing an amazing venue for Jackie and Cody’s wedding. They were attentive to details, provided us with anything and everything possible to make the dream come true, and basically were our wedding planners. We appreciate everything you did and the pride you take in your business.
My daughter and son in law were married at the “Barn” this past week and it was AMAZING in every way. We are truly blessed to have had such a beautiful venue inside and out, with owners who went above and beyond to make this day a dream come true. Jayne and Chad are there to help and support you every step of the way. We appreciate ALL that you did to make their day special, including the pictures and video. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place for making memories.
We are getting married at the barn this year, and though we haven’t actually had the wedding yet, we cannot say enough good things about the barn and Jayne and Chad! From the moment we stepped in for our initial tour, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. I was absolutely amazed at the little touches Jayne put into every detail of every room, she truly thought of everything. The barn and grounds and amenities are beautiful, but the owners being so sweet and kind and genuine is what truly seals the deal. They feel more like life long friends right off the bat than just another vendor. We have rescheduled our wedding twice now, and are blown away at how kind and accommodating they have been about it. We also love that they have decor available for rent, which saves us a huge hassle trying to find out own! We cannot WAIT to get married here!!!
We decided two months before our wedding on October 10th to book the Barn of Chapeau Shores. It was a lot to change last minute, but we wouldn’t of wanted our reception to be anywhere else after viewing the barn and meeting with Jayne and Chad. They instantly eased any worry we had and made all of our dreams come true the day of our wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is gorgeous inside and out. I can’t stop talking about how amazing our day was, and we are so grateful to have had Jayne and Chad there for us. We fell in love with The Barn of Chapeau Shores the second we saw it, and we highly recommend it to anyone in search of a great venue!!
If your looking for an amazing venue with amazing owners stop right here you don’t need to look any farther! We recently had our wedding here and it is absolutely gorgeous!! They did an amazing job on the venue and I wouldn’t have wanted our wedding anywhere else but there. Jayne and Chad are the most amazing and nicest people and were so helpful through our whole wedding. They came and helped us with set up (we booked it for the whole weekend, Friday-Sunday, which I recommend everyone doing because its much easier and less stressful) whatever we wanted to do they were there to help us with it. They are very on top of things during the ceremony and reception. One example is we forgot about our lights that we wrapped the tree with and they found the remote and turned them on for us. On top of what they have already done to the place they just keep growing and adding to their beautiful property. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the barn was as well. We truly wouldn’t have wanted our wedding anywhere else and a lot of it has to do with Jayne and Chad and their amazing barn venue.
This venue is absolutely perfect. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have a time machine so I can relive the best day ever! Chad and Jayne go above and beyond any venue or any expectation I had. Their flexibility, perfectionism, and attention to detail throughout the day and night and many months leading up to our wedding was incredible. Thank you so much for making this the best day ever.
Love,
The owners of this venue are the best part of this place. They anticipated everything that could come up. They are sooo accommodating. He is the jack of all trades and she is the sweetest. The actual venue is just breathtaking. Pictures just don’t show all the beauty this place holds. I just can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of their love and care. We will continue to recommend this beautiful place to everyone.
This barn venue is completely gorgeous and perfect for any event. You can definitely tell the owners take great pride in what they do. From all the small details they’ve finished in the venue and how easy they are to work with, Just shows you that they want your day to go just how you planned it. I highly recommend this venue to anyone and encourage anyone looking for a venue to look here. Great property, great service and great hospitality. Chad and Jayne are a blessing compared to many of the other event centers I’ve been to.
We booked the Barn for our daughter’s wedding before the renovations were started on the inside and we were completely blown away when we saw it finished. It’s an absolutely beautiful venue….from the outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception, bridal and groom suites…to the smallest of details. To be able to have everything in one place was phenomenal. We received so many compliments from our guests. Jayne and Chad are absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. From the planning to decorating and all the way to the end of our day…they made every effort to help ensure our wedding was perfect.
We couldn’t have imagined a better place to have our wedding reception. We were one of the first people to book the barn. Keep in mind, we booked it when there were blue walls and remnants of the wrestling facility it used to be. Nothing had been done to it yet we KNEW it would be perfect. We went out for our first tour and jayne had pictures and blueprints and we saw her vision. They asked us recently what made us want to book it before we ever saw it done. We said, Trust! Ya know that feeling you get when you KNOW someone is just wholeheartedly a good person!? That’s chad & Jayne! They put their heart and souls into this barn and it shows!! Fast forward 2 years later and we finally had our wedding. EVERYTHING was ABSOLUTELY perfect! They did so incredibly much for us from keeping an eye on the gift table to making accommodations for my Grandma. We had the best night of our lives and it’s all because of Chad and Jayne. Some people just hire their vendors and move on with their lives, but these two will be forever in our hearts and we will never be able to thank them enough for being so amazing.
Beautiful wedding venue inside and out! Every bride’s dream venue!
This is an absolutely beautiful place – inside and out. The owners are wonderful to work with, seeing to every detail and providing for every need. I would highly recommend it to others!
Just wanted to post a note to say how happy and thoroughly satisfied we were with The Barn. We booked this venue for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding reception and let me tell you, it was fantastic. We live in the neighborhood and it has been such fun to see the progress as the renovation was underway. Anytime we had a question about any detail, they were happy to answer us or show us. Chad and Jayne bent over backward to see to it that all our needs were met. I also love the fact that both Jayne and Chad were present at our event. They made sure that things went smoothly and were eager to help with whatever we needed. They even took some photos and shared them with us – how nice is that? It almost goes without saying that this is a beautiful facility, but we are still hearing from family and friends how spectacular things were. If you are looking for a place to have a wedding or reception you can not go wrong with The Barn!
Congratulations Chad and Jayne on your beautiful venue! Thank you so much for everything and helping us provide an unforgettable wedding and reception for our daughter and son-in-law. I still can’t believe how you have transformed the barn from when we first seen it when you were just starting out. From the lighting fixtures to the bathrooms, the bride and groom suites and the patio and aisle, along with the landscaping and the beautiful big trees, this place is gorgeous! I also love how there is air conditioning and heat if needed. You are such a caring, sincere and wonderful couple to work with. I wish you all the best in the future and totally recommend your place to all who are interested in having a barn wedding.
The Barn is absolutely breathtaking! This venue itself is gorgeous and so adaptable to your specific dream or vision. This venue is the epitome of rustic elegance. However, it is the people there that set this place apart! They are EXCEPTIONAL and WONDERFUL!!! They are some of the most gracious, servant-hearted people I’ve met. They were so helpful and fun to work with!
