    Neither. I like the beach or a patio with gazebo.

    Barn all the way - but truthfully depends on personal taste. I personally love the rustic romantic setting the barn creates

    Ballroom because FH and I think barns are not our taste. Not a fan of how it's more expensive and less nice.

    Ballroom. I just can't imagine a wedding in any of my family farm's out buildings. Smiley smile

    I prefer outdoor weddings, but if I had to choose either of the two mentioned I’d say barn.

    My wedding is in a ballroom but that is more out of convenience because its at a hotel and we will have alot of put of town guests...Don't me wrong the ballroom will end up being gorgeous but I absolutley love the look of the barn

    Barn! Ballrooms tend to already be pre-decorated and dont usually fit in with many wedding "themes" which means more money to cover up and disguise that it is a hotel ballroom. Barns are bare structures and can be decorated to feel super relaxed or super classy. Barn for sure!

    LOVE barn! Although my wedding will be in a ballroom since barns are generally more expensive. I lucked out on finding a ballroom that is elegant but scaled down to fit my rustic theme.

    Barn! i feel like ballrooms all end up looking the same and can feel a bit “cookie cutter”

    Barn. But we are getting married in a venue that is kind of in-between. We have high ceilings but it's all wood. Plus there are massive chandeliers that dress it up too.

    Personally I like ballrooms more. Not that I don’t love the rustic feel of a barn! They are both great! But for my wedding, I would prefer ballroom
