ucked away on our scenic property, just a stone’s throw from the iconic White Barn, the Black Barn Groomsmen's Lounge is where the gentlemen of the wedding party can relax, prep, and enjoy some seriously good vibes before the big “I Do.”
At White Barn Weddings, we believe the groom and his crew deserve just as much pampering as the bride. That’s why we created the Black Barn—a sophisticated, ultra-classy and modern retreat that’s all about celebrating the guys in style. Think of it as the tuxedo to the White Barn’s gown. With its sleek design and moody, yet classy, interiors, this space offers everything you need for a stress-free, fun-filled wedding day prep.
How about something for the boys?
The Ultimate Groomsmen Retreat at White Barn Weddings
Step into the West Wing, where the groomsmen's day begins. The 500 sq. ft. lounge is decked out in charcoal gray and white marble checkerboard floors, with walls adorned with detailed woodwork. The brass and milk glass lighting adds a touch of timeless elegance. Here, you’ll find a cozy foyer perfect for a quick pre-ceremony chat or even a few stylish photos with your crew.
Pass through the oversized black dual pocket doors to discover a fully-equipped prep kitchen—perfect for fueling up before the festivities. Whether it’s keeping those cold brews chilled or grabbing a snack, the black cabinets, quartz countertops, and brass hardware are just waiting to be admired. And the bathroom? Let’s just say, it’s not your average powder room, with black subway tiles, vintage sink, and a walk-in shower to ensure everyone’s looking sharp.
Ladies, let's give the boys what they deserve.
The West Wing: A Grand Entrance
More than Just a Lounge
Up the wood staircase, the groomsmen’s suite is where the party really starts. This 1100 sq. ft. room is the epitome of modern old Chicago hotel vibes, featuring vaulted ceilings, brass accents, and all the entertainment you could ask for. We’re talking a golf simulator, a pool table with a sleek black felt top, and even a dartboard. Need to catch your breath? Step out onto the glass-fronted balcony and take in the stunning views of White Barn and the Emmett Valley.
The Groomsmen’s Suite: The Ultimate Hangout
This might just be our favorite part. Hidden behind oak slatted wall paneling, with a secret door activated by a hidden button, the Speakeasy is a 225 sq. ft. oasis of dark, moody, and sophisticated charm. Perfect for enjoying a quiet moment with a glass or just unwinding with the guys before the big event. The cozy seating, electric fireplace, and vintage decor make it an unforgettable space to start the celebration.
The Hidden Gem: Your Very Own Speakeasy
While the Black Barn Groomsmen’s Lounge is all about the day-of experience, please note that it doesn’t include sleeping arrangements. But for your pre-ceremony gathering, it’s the perfect spot to create memories, snap some Instagram-worthy shots, and enjoy the calm before the storm.
No Sleeping Arrangements, Just Good Times!
We’d love to host your wedding day! We only book one bride a weekend. You shouldn’t be rushed in and rushed out so someone else can come in. Availability is limited so please reach out.
