AN AUTHENTIC BARN WEDDING VENUE IN SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN After four generations in the same family, The Barn at Back Acres Farm is finding new purpose and meaning as a wedding and event venue. Our venue offers an indoor reception space in the barn with seating for up to 200, your choice of outdoor ceremony sites, spacious grounds with serene views for guests to enjoy, and many amenities.

We know firsthand what it takes to create the kind of wedding you want to have, and that it's worth the time, money, and effort you put into it when you choose the right place. And that's not only true for our own family—every wedding we've had the honor of hosting since opening up our farm to the public in 2018 has been unique and meaningful for both couples and their guests.

Hidden Creek Estates is owned and run by Kerry & Dude Frank. In 2007 they started an aviation software company and grew a successful company over the next decade. In 2018 they sold their shares and changed the legacy of their family forever. The Frank family home is in Roscoe, IL. When they learned that 30 acres of beautiful farm land nearby was for sale and would potentially be turned into a subdivision they had to do something. The property held 185 years of history, 2 miles of manicured trails, and provided income for a local farmer. In just a few days they chose to purchase the property to preserve the integrity of the grounds and its natural beauty and hoped to use it to give back to their community in some way. They weren’t sure what to do with the property and then Covid-19 hit. Kerry’s sister was about to get married a few months later, and her venue cancelled. The Frank family offered to host the wedding on the new property, and an idea sparked. This could be a really special place. Before they knew it they helped two other family friends replan their weddings on the property. As word began to spread, they realized this property was perfect to host special events and make amazing memories. After hosting a few weddings, they decided this was the perfect location to host weddings, special events, and community events. Today the Frank family continues to improve and care for the grounds and are currently remodeling their iconic antique yellow barn to host events.

The hotel is home to Merrill & Houston's Steak Joint, one of the area's dining destinations, along with several other on-site restaurants and bars.
