Wedding barn shells in North Florida: what to know

A wedding barn borrows the shape of an old barn, with a tall center, wide doors and porches, and puts it on a steel frame that can span the whole room. The steel shell is only the start: the barn character comes from what goes inside and around it, such as wood-look liner, exposed trusses, timber trim, a cupola and sliding barn doors. Owners often hire separate trades for the interior and the kitchen. Because guests gather inside, the shell's exits, door hardware and capacity are planned with assembly occupancy rules in mind from the beginning.
