Celebrating what matters most.

After years of hosting family gatherings of nearly 100 people, Dawn and Rusty Bush set out to build the perfect space for their growing family to make new memories together.

With the help of our sons, Brett and Austin, we labored in love to create a one-of-a-kind place.

The Barn at Southern Oaks is the culmination of our family’s dreams, love, and the joy we find in each other’s company. We are so excited to give families, corporate teams, and couples a rustic, yet elegant gathering spot to make lifelong memories.
