Our Property

The Sugar Barn is located on a 45-acre Ranch in Lake Wales, in Central Florida’s Polk County. The Whidden’s purchased the ranch in 2005 and have been developing the perfect location for your barn wedding, celebration, or corporate event.

This unique venue is not an old converted barn but a beautiful new Douglas Fir structure with the warmth and character of a rustic setting, but with all the commercial amenities you need for a successful, comfortable, elegant event. The barn has been built with soaring 45-foot ceilings and a stone fireplace, beautiful crystal chandeliers, a catering kitchen, and an oversized 1200 sq ft bridal suite.

Your guests will walk along the 120-foot bridge across the stocked pond to the Wild Orange ceremony location, which also features a restroom facility and a bachelor’s cottage. The orchard next to the barn grows sugar cane, thus lending to the name The Sugar Barn.

The Sugar Barn is located only an hour south of Orlando, 30 minutes from Winter Haven and halfway between Tampa and Melbourne, so its location is an ideal gathering place.You will love celebrating your special day under the moss-covered oaks here at The Sugar Barn.
