The Milestone Barn
Wedding & Event Venue
Located in Bannister, MIchigan
The Milestone Barn, located in Bannister, Michigan was purchased and transformed to a rustic barn wedding location in 2011. The owners realized that a rustic wedding was what they wanted soon after their engagement. One thing lead to another, and now they hope to bring their vision to others, while maintaining the affordability that allows everyone to enjoy a rustic barn wedding.
Since opening in 2011, we have continued to grow. We are constantly taking feedback from our brides and improving the barn and property. Not a year goes by that improvements aren’t completed. The Milestone Barn has been in our family for years, and now we are lucky enough to share it with many, many more families. Originally used for multiple agricultural purposes, the barn now serves a different purpose, housing the weddings and other “milestone” events throughout ones life. Originally 1700 sq. feet, with a second level of 800 sq. feet, the barn’s capacity has been increased with the addition of a lean to, including bathrooms. The addition has increased the versatility of the facility, while still maintaining it’s rustic charm, as all the materials were reused from other local barns.
Whether it’s a wedding, reception, graduation party, prom, or any other gathering, The Milestone Barn can help you achieve exactly the sort of down home, rustic feeling you wish to achieve. Perfectly located 10 miles west of Chesaning, The Milestone Barn sits between Lansing, Saginaw and Flint, allowing us to serve the vast majority of Michigan. The Milestone Barn is located at 21980 W. Brady Rd, Bannister MI 48807.
