We are Keith and Analisa; a husband and wife team. After getting engaged in December 2020, we decided to build our own venue on our property. After getting married in July 2022, we wanted to share our special place with other couples! The Barn at Rimrock is named in honor of a family barn in Uniontown, WA that was built in 1901. Some of the wood from that barn can be found in this very venue!

The Barn at Rimrock

Tucked away in the serene woods of Clayton, Washington—just 30 minutes north of Spokane—The Barn at Rimrock sits on 10 acres of peaceful forest, offering a private and picturesque setting for your wedding day. Whether you're exchanging vows beneath the trees or celebrating under the stars, our venue brings the natural beauty of the outdoors to your unforgettable celebration.

The Barn at Rimrock holds deep personal meaning for us. After getting engaged in December 2020, we decided to build our own venue right on our property—a dream brought to life with the help of our family and friends. We were married here in July 2022, and the experience was so meaningful that we wanted to open our space to other couples. The venue's name honors a family barn built in 1901 in Uniontown, WA, and we’ve incorporated wood from that original barn into the structure here—carrying forward its legacy of love and gathering.

We specialize in giving couples the freedom to create a wedding that reflects their unique style. With only one wedding booked per weekend, you’ll have the time and flexibility to bring your vision to life without pressure. You’re welcome to choose your own vendors with no added fees or restrictions. Our own wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we’re honored to help make your day just as memorable.

From Dream to Reality

Our venue wasn’t just a vision; it was a hands-on labor of love. Inspired by the show, Barnwood Builders, we took on the challenge of building our own wedding space from the ground up. Literally! Aside from excavation and concrete, every inch of this property was built by us, friends, and family.

We started with raw, untouched land, clearing towering piles of debris, branches, and logs. Keith built the smaller pavilion first—our original ceremony site. From there, we moved on to the reception area, where some of our most unforgettable building memories were made, like setting trusses in the middle of winter with the help of both of our dads!

Behind the scenes, there are countless hidden efforts: leveling ground, digging trenches for power, creating a French drain, building farmhouse tables, and benches, and building out the parking lot. Analisa loves to remind Keith that all of this was his idea.

Our favorite recent addition? The getting ready space—a special project that has become Analisa’s favorite part of the property.

This place is more than a venue. It’s our project as a couple—and now we get to share it with you!
