Our dream
How it all started
Our land was homesteaded and put into farmland in 1865. The barn was built in 1920 and was used to milk cows until our family began farming the land in 1953. Brian and his father Stanley used the barn to feed yearling calves over the winter for over fifty years until October of 2017 when our son Adam asked if he and his fiancée could use the barn for their wedding. It had always been Rhonda’s dream to renovate the barn and use it as an event venue. Nestled in the rolling hills and fertile fields of the Platte River Valley, it would make the perfect location for a quiet country getaway. Brian and Rhonda immediately got to work, and with the help of their family, friends, and the local community restored and renovated the barn into a beautiful event space. During renovations we found old whiskey bottles squirreled away in the rafters and dusted off old tally marks noting the number of cattle on the farm in the 1940’s. On the day of our son’s wedding everyone commented on how far the barn had come and how picturesque the setting was for a wedding. From dairy cows to yearling calves to weddings and events, we would love it if you would add to Sparks Barn’s history by using it for your event. We are a working family farm—we know hard work and will work hard to make your event a success!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Not only was the venue beautiful and perfect for our wedding, but Rhonda and her crew were so friendly and easy to work with from start to finish. Rhonda made the stress of planning and adjusting our guest list due to Covid a lot easier. If I could give 6 out of 5 stars I would!
Daughter just got married here, phenomenal atmosphere, extremely friendly and helpful staff/owners, pricing was within our budget and things went flawlessly. Highly recommend checking this venue out !!
Highly recommend Sparks Barn for your next event. It is a hidden gem just minutes from Omaha. My daughter wanted a rustic chic Sweet 16th Birthday and this was the perfect venue in the perfect country setting! Rhonda Sparks is so nice to work with and she will make sure your event is spectacular.
Sparks Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Rhonda was so helpful leading up to our big day and helped ensure that everything went smoothly. Having the venue for Friday, Saturday and Sunday was a huge selling point for us.
