Frequently Asked Questions Who can rent the Barn? Anyone can rent the barn but most renters are those looking for a place in the country for their event or wanting a country or western theme and are actually seeking out a barn. Can we see the barn before deciding? Yes, you can. Please contact me and schedule a time. How many guests will the Country Barn seat? Approximately 90 guests in the upper lofts and 110 on the main floor. No more that 200 guests allowed. Can we put up a large tent? Yes. There is a level area just outside the barn suitable for a large tent. This area is well lighted with electrical outlets. How do we reserve our event date? I will hold a verbally agreed date for 7 days only. You must submit deposit of 50% of the total cost to secure your date. Who caters our event? Anyone you prefer. You can even cater it yourself using the barn's kitchen facilities. I can also supply you with names of caterers that have catered previous events at the Country Barn. When can we decorate? If your event is in the evening you have 2 hours of your choice after 9:00 AM on the day of your event that you may enter the barn and decorate. If your event is during the day I will schedule a 2 hour timeframe that will work for you on that day or the day before. I can also decorate for you for a small fee with you supplying the decorations. Can we have alcohol at our event? Yes, YOU can provide alcohol, but since Illinois City is in a dry township I am not permitted to provide, sell or serve alcohol. You, as the renter, have complete liability and responsibility for alcoholic beverages. You will also be required by me to appoint a responsible person or persons to control the serving of alcoholic beverages and who will ensure that no one under 21 years of age is consuming alcohol and to stop serving those that have had too much alcohol. Can we hire a DJ or Band? You sure can and I hope you do. I can supply you with the names of DJs and Bands that have performed at the Barn for previous events. How many hours am I renting the barn? You are renting the barn for 5 hours. This 5 hours does not include your 2 hour decorating time nor the 1 hour after your event to gather your decorations, food, gifts, and personal belongings; I will do the cleaning after your event. All late afternoon and evening evening events end at 12:00 AM (midnight) regardless of the start time. Daytime events end at 5:00 PM. As mentioned earlier, at the end of your event you have one hour to gather your decorations, food, gifts, and personal belongings. Overtime requests in one hour increments will be accommodated for a fee. Just remember, the Barn closes at Midnight!!
