So many of you know I work in a very rural area and most of my work is within 40 miles of my home, I am busy with weddings most weekends March thru October, over the last 10 years many of rural Wisconsin’s barns have been converted to wedding venues, the rules for these venues make this very easy to do with little regulation, the last 3 years has seen a surge in pricing , with prices starting at $2000 up to$8000 plus to rent the venue, this includes nothing but the property and building, all fixtures food and beverages must be obtained above and beyond that cost. I am finally seeing some push back on these venues with people converting back to traditional wedding venues that end up being more cost effective when all factors are considered, anyone else notice this trend
