This place was fantastic! I couldn't recommend them more. My daughter got married last weekend here…read more& it's was beautiful. They were super easy to work with, affordable, kind, caring, & always attentive. Unlike most venues they have no requirements for vendors. So you can control your costs easier. The decor room is massive & you can grab anything you need to fill a spot you missed or to decorate the entire space. I would 100% recommend to everyone & I would choose them again if I plan another barn wedding. Thank you Heartland Country Barn for the gorgeous space & helping my daughter have her dream wedding!

We went in just to eat and maybe play a few games. Ordered 2 sodas, smash burger and nachos at the…read morebar, almost an hour later we still had only recieved our sodas. One lady came up after 30 minutes and said they had a new person in the kitchen, almost 30 minutes after that they brought us the bill, almost $50 but still no food. At that point we decided to just pay for our sodas $13 and go. This is not even close to a good experience. Very disappointing

The aesthetic is rustic/modern, and the space is great for a small-medium sized party with two connected rooms. I attended a Sip + Shop event as a vendor and the turnout was great!

Tastes amazing and I could feel it had a good amount of liquor immediately Perfect venue to book for a small reception/business meeting. I'll definitely be back!

Will start with positives- cute barn set up, lots of outdoor space and photo opportunities…read more Negatives- horrible parking options and the person directing cars was not only rude but not clear on where to go. From parking area it's very difficult to get inside barn or the outdoor area. Steps currently under construction but that would've been a first to do before opening site. While sitting outside we got a horrible whiff of sewage. I think the septic needed cleaned out as the vents were right near the north side of barn. Outside bar area doesn't have much for seating unless it's a backless bar stool or sitting in an Adirondack chair near a fire pit. Honestly the chairs are rustic and cool but didn't want to sit in the blazing sun nor have clothes snagged. Could have added more seating or canopy type shade to help with sun. Inside arrangement of tables is limited and you need to be aware as support poles do inhibit views and photo opportunities. Dance floor is small again depending on # of guests etc. I'd also ask about other bookings before and after yours to ensure you are not rushed for set up or tear down. Has potential but lots more detail work and improvements in attitudes to make it a place for brides and grooms. Ask questions and get in writing!

My son and daughter-in-law were married at Sparks Barn in June of 2022. Wow! What an amazing…read moresetting and venue! Two air conditioned barns, one rustic and one glass enclosed, along with a dressing/prep area for both men and women make the accommodations top notch. Throw in a kitchen area, inside and outside bar service, a concrete wrap around patio and a ceremony pergola complete with pond and picturesque setting and you understand why this venue is booking events two years out! The owners, Rhonda and Brian, have assembled a staff that anticipates your every need. Trash is constantly taken out, restrooms are freshened and reset, food service vendors are assisted as needed and everything is taken care of seamlessly allowing guests and family to enjoy their celebration with no stress or drama. The grounds are immaculate, the parking is plentiful and the venue space will take your breath away. A portable microphone was provided for the ceremony and a large scale projector and sound system was also available. The red cedar tables are too beautiful to cover with table cloths so we just did a table runner, candles and eucalyptus. Nice, sturdy white chairs line the tables and are a step above what you usually find at most venues. The size of the venue allows a number of options for table arrangements. I was amazed at the quick and efficient clean up after our event. I went to collect table decorations and the staff had already packed items for easy transport home. Each and every staff member is first class and they work as a team to make sure every detail is covered. Sparks Barn is located half way between Lincoln and Omaha outside of Louisville, Nebraska.

Rhonda Sparks is so nice to work with and she will make sure your event is spectacular. There is a beautiful view of the lake and the rolling countryside. Inside the barn has been completely refinished with beautiful polished wood, twinkling lights & an amazing sound system. Outside there is plenty of parking, a big patio for dancing and even a fire pit. And yet the hourly rental fee was very reasonably priced! No matter what your event, Sparks Barn and the Sparks family will make everything perfect for your big day!

I wouldn't say the service is spectacular, but the environment and the vibes are great. The patio is cool and connects to Four Seasons. IDK if you can actually cross over to it, but we did say hi to folks over there. We had some drinks here after a dinner and it really ended up beig a fun social night.

My first impression was how cute to put a snowman face on the garage door, but then I stepped inside. It was like walking into a Hallmark movie! Exquisitely decorated. Warmly welcomed. The menu was even altered for my major food allergies. A great explanation of nearby restaurants and sites, with a paper map even included! The house itself is nicely decorated and has everything needed. The hot tub, walking path and tree swing just add to the magic and whimsy of a place we will certainly be returning to and thoroughly enjoying. Excellent job, Jeanna!
