As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen how much the right venue can set the tone for a couple’s entire day. One of my favorite spots in the Sioux Falls area is Emerald Pines Barn—a space that’s as breathtaking as it is versatile. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that blends rustic charm with modern elegance, Emerald Pines might just be the perfect fit.
The Emerald Pines Barn is such a modern and elegant wedding venue. This venue has a built-in bar, private bride and groom suites, indoor and outdoor ceremony space options, and much more. The venue owners always make the day flow so smoothly along with their friendly staff to help bring your wedding day to life and ready to assist throughout the day. There is so much natural light throughout this venue. The building is also surrounded by some gorgeous evergreen trees outside the venue.
Nestled just outside Sioux Falls, Emerald Pines Barn is surrounded by rolling countryside and—true to its name—towering emerald pines. This setting makes for a naturally stunning backdrop that feels peaceful, private, and picture-perfect. For couples who love the outdoors but want the convenience of a venue with all the amenities, it truly offers the best of both worlds.
The barn itself is nothing short of incredible. With its soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and warm wood tones, it has that classic barn wedding feel—but elevated. Natural light pours in through large windows, creating a soft, flattering glow that makes portraits and candid moments absolutely shine. As a photographer, this kind of light and architectural detail makes every angle worth capturing.
For couples dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, Emerald Pines delivers. The ceremony sites are surrounded by pines and open sky, offering a romantic and serene backdrop that feels like stepping into a fairytale. And when the golden hour rolls around? The fields and tree lines here are pure magic for portraits.
One of the things I love about Emerald Pines Barn is how seamlessly it accommodates every part of a wedding day. From your ceremony (indoors or outdoors) to cocktail hour and your reception, everything flows beautifully without guests ever feeling cramped. The barn is spacious enough for a large guest list but still has a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Every time I photograph a wedding at Emerald Pines Barn, I’m reminded of how special this venue is. It’s the kind of place that lets couples truly make it their own—whether they want something rustic and laid-back or more formal and refined. For couples searching for a Sioux Falls wedding venue that’s both grand and inviting, Emerald Pines Barn is a must-see.
