Some locations don’t just host a wedding day—they transport you somewhere else entirely. Big Iron Town in Pleasant Hill, Missouri is one of those places.

Built completely by hand, Big Iron Town is a stylized old western inspired town.. Every building, board, and detail is intentional, creating an immersive experience that feels cinematic, nostalgic, and full of soul. It’s the kind of venue that instantly sparks creativity and invites storytelling at every turn.
