OUR STORY
Antonieta’s is the next chapter of a journey that began at Rustic Barn.
What started with a beautiful property in Indiana became much more than a venue. Rustic Barn gave me the opportunity to explore my creativity, transform spaces, and discover how much I loved creating beautiful settings for life’s most meaningful celebrations.
Over time, I realized that what inspired me most was not simply the place—it was the transformation. The flowers, the tables, the textures, the candlelight, the small details, and the feeling created when everything came together.
That passion became the inspiration for Antonieta’s.
Today, Antonieta’s brings that experience beyond the walls of a single venue. We create and style weddings, intimate celebrations, private events, outdoor gatherings, and beautiful beachside occasions, designing each event around the people and the story behind it.
My love for nature, art, and timeless details continues to influence everything I create. Whether surrounded by the countryside, in an elegant venue, a private home, a garden, or beside the ocean, my goal remains the same: to transform a space into something meaningful and unforgettable.
Rustic Barn will always be part of our story.
Antonieta’s is where that story continues.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Viridiana Cruz Werlein
I am a mother, entrepreneur, dreamer, and creative at heart. My greatest inspiration has always come from my family and from my desire to create something meaningful for the future.
My entrepreneurial journey began in 2017, when I founded a commercial cleaning company during a challenging chapter of my life. Building that business taught me resilience, discipline, and the importance of pursuing a vision even when the path is not always clear.
But creativity has always been part of who I am. I have long been drawn to art, nature, flowers, beautiful spaces, and the small details that make an experience feel special.
In 2021, my journey into real estate led me to a property in Jamestown, Indiana that would become Rustic Barn. What began as a property became a place where my love for design, nature, and meaningful celebrations came together.
Rustic Barn helped me discover something about myself: I didn’t simply love beautiful spaces—I loved transforming them.
That discovery eventually inspired a new chapter.
Antonieta’s was born from that passion.
Today, I bring together my experience as an entrepreneur, my love of nature and design, and everything I learned along the way to create celebrations that feel personal, beautiful, and unforgettable.
For me, Antonieta’s is more than event décor. It is the continuation of a journey—and an opportunity to create beauty wherever the next celebration takes me.
