Choosing a venue for a wedding can be very stressful. Couples need to consider the location, the number of guests they are expecting, and how the venue will look in photographs. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of couples choosing to have their wedding in a pole barn. Dixieland Metals of Alabama in Dothan, AL, sells pole barn kits for general outdoor use, including for use as wedding venues. Here are five popular reasons more and more couples are deciding to have their weddings in pole barns.  

1. Blank Slate For Decorations

A pole barn is the perfect venue for the couple with a vision. The high ceilings and exposed wood allow you to select any color scheme without worrying about clashing with existing paint colors and carpet patterns. You can also customize the lighting to fit your aesthetic by choosing to hang string lights, lanterns, or Mason jar chandeliers from the ceiling.   

2. Protection From The Elements

Outdoor weddings can be quite beautiful, but their success is dependent on the weather. By using a pole barn kit as your venue, you can still enjoy being outdoors on your special day with the protection of a roof in case it rains.

3. Location Flexibility

You can install your pole barn kit in your yard, a farm, an open field, or anywhere you have access to land and adequate space. You can create a venue that is convenient for your guests and is surrounded by the views you love the most.

4. Exquisite Photographs

The softer light and exposed wood of pole barns will give your photos a rustic yet flattering glow. Combined with the unique backdrop of your personalized venue and setting, you’ll enjoy beautiful, professional, and candid photos of your special day.

5. Customizable To Your Needs

Depending on how many guests you are expecting, the size of your pole barn will vary. Fortunately, pole barn kits can be made to order according to the needs of you and your guests.

At Dixieland Metals of Alabama, pole barn kits start at just $799. The metal supplier also provides metal roofing materials, roofing, sliding panels, and other materials for metal buildings to contractors and to the general public. To get a price quote, call (334) 678-0038 or visit their website.
