Community Building Project
Silo Farms Event Barn | Award-Winning Post-Frame Wedding Venue
Shelbyville, Kentucky
Project Overview:
The Silo Farms Event Barn redefines rustic elegance with a design that captures the warmth of Kentucky hospitality and the craftsmanship of Walters Buildings. Completed in 2021, this award-winning venue took home 1st Place in Commercial Buildings (Under 5,000 sq. ft.) from the National Frame Building Association.
The Building:
Walters partnered with Silo Farms to transform their vision of a charming country wedding destination into a functional, unforgettable space. The 40′ × 80′ structure features a 12′ eave height and open-span interior, making it perfect for receptions, ceremonies, and celebrations that flow seamlessly from indoors to out.
The Interior:
Inside, guests are welcomed into a beautifully finished main hall with exposed trusses, creating a rustic, airy atmosphere ideal for dining and dancing. The Bride’s and Groom’s Rooms provide private spaces for preparation, while a covered porch and adjoining patio extend the celebration outdoors beneath twinkling lights and open skies.
