The Grand Barn is a truly wonderful environment, perfect for accommodating up to 300 guests including dance floor, bar, food and beverage set up. We always love watching peoples reactions when they first enter. The building is composed of large reclaimed timber beams some weighing upwards of 1/2 ton each. Oak, hemlock and pine boards were sourced from old buildings, barns, factories and homes and brought down from the Northeastern United States. Each board was hand wire brushed on site to really make the grain stand out before going up on our walls. Some people even notice the steel cut nails used to secure the boards the same way done in the 1800's.
The steel windows mixed in with the wood are 112+ year old windows repurposed from a Carnegie Steel Building built locally in 1903. The weathered tin ceiling also came from the same building. The result is a beautiful eclectic mix of old world warmth and charm mixed with modern luxury and style. The focal point of the Grand Barn is our huge 3 1/2 story double sided stone fireplace. Also featured are ADA restrooms, a dedicated Caterer’s Kitchen and a 1,200 square foot covered deck overlooking one of our outdoor entertainment areas.
Tables and Chairs are included at Big Sky Barn. Within the Grand Barn, the Chiavari chair is our standard. We offer eight 10' site built custom wood rectangular tables and one 16' that weighs over 800 lbs! In addition, we have many 60? circular tables and 8' rectangular tables to provide a mixed look to your seating.

The Chapel at Big Sky Barn makes the perfect venue for year-round Weddings and Events in the Houston and Montgomery area. With 3,250 square feet of climate controlled space, there is no need to make alternate plans for weather or have guests “grab a chair” so that a single space can be used for ceremony and reception. The walls of the Chapel are solid oak planks that were sawn from large timbers and air dried for 9 months just for this project. Each board was hand painted individually on site before going up to give the Chapel its antiqued white washed appeal.
The backdrop for the ceremony is a 26' tall wall of antique windows framed with 12? thick solid oak beams. The windows are dated to 1903 and were part of the Pure Oil Company Steel Pump house here in Montgomery, Texas. The pews that are found in our Chapel have their own amazing history. They were found in an abandoned Presbyterian Church in Wheeling, West Virginia. These pews were hand carved from 1884-1889. Each Pew is made of two sections that were riveted together. When the last pew was separated, a hand inscription was found scribed between the two end panels. "May 13, 1889, Richmond, Virginia".
The chapel is also home to our Groom’s quarters (nicknamed “The Last Stand Room”) and the now famous Big Sky Barn bridal suite. Some things can’t be described in words…you’ll have to see it for yourself!
