A Generational Legacy turned Wedding & Event Barn

Our Story: Historic 1928 Barn in Star Valley, Wyoming:

More than just a rustic wedding venue near Jackson Hole, our historic barn reflects the enduring spirit and honest craftsmanship that built the West.

Built in 1928 by the current owner's great-grandfather: R.C. Heiner, a skilled builder known for shaping many of the valley’s signature gambrel barns between milking cows, this structure has weathered nearly a century with strength and purpose in Star Valley, Wyoming.

Maintained with care through the decades, the barn was re-roofed in the 1990s and underwent a full restoration starting in 2024. Contractors often commented on its remarkable structure, a testament to the integrity of its original build - which was completed in the hours after R.C. had finished his daily work. Today, it stands not only as a reminder of local family history but as a space reimagined, ready to offer a truly unique venue for weddings and events in Star Valley. 

What began as a working dairy barn eventually became a family fixture, season after season. That legacy continues as we open the barn to guests looking for something with both character and meaning.

We believe that when places like this are thoughtfully preserved, they create the kind of backdrop where real memories can take root.
