about Parking?

There is ample parking on site for all your guests. We also have 2 concrete poured handicap parking spaces adjoined to the sidewalk for easy wheelchair or walker accessibility.

What about insurance?

We have liability insurance that would cover injuries due to site malfunctions only. We do require you to purchase a one day Special Event Insurance policy that will cover host liquor, any bodily injuries that are not site related, and damages to the Venue caused by wedding party and/or guest. (specific insurance information will be on your contract)

What sizes are the tables in the Reception Barn?

We have six rectangular 6ft. long tables that are used for the head table and other miscellaneous things such as a popcorn bar, candy bar etc... We have two 42" round tables that are generally used for cake/cupcakes, guest book etc... Our guest tables are 60" rounds and they each seat 8 people. We will set up the tables according to your guest count. (so the amount of tables for guest and for the head table will vary depending on your numbers) We have two waist high wooden "table tops" attached to large whiskey barrels that are generally used for the food serving area, so no tables or linens are needed for this.

Yes, but days are limited. We reserve Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for Weddings. Monday through Wednesday are clean up and set up days.

Vendors can start set up either Friday or Saturday as long as you are at the Venue upon their arrival.

Is there A/C and Heat?

There is no A/C in either barn.  Both barns do have large doors that can be left open as well as ceiling fans which makes for a good air flow. The dressing room area does have A/C and Heat. The Ceremony barn is an old restored wooden barn with open areas between the slats so this barn can not be heated. The Reception barn has a propane heater. The bathrooms will be heated with space heaters.

Are the barns decorated?

The barns are not decorated. Both barns do have decorative mason jar wagon wheel light fixtures. The Ceremony barn has 2 white decorative wagon wheels in front of the barn where you stand for your Ceremon;  there is also one high top table provided. The Reception barn has a lit up fabric backdrop behind the head table and also strands of string lights hanging from the ceiling. You can decorate as you please, with the exception of open flamed candles and nails/screws in the wood. We do offer several rentable decor pieces which are pictured on our facebook page. 

How many rows of benches are in the Ceremony Barn?

There are 6 rows of benches on each side of the aisle.

Is the Venue open year round?

We are open May through October.

Is there a space to have an outside Ceremony?

Yes and No. Our suggested and preferred Ceremony site is inside the Ceremony barn where seating is provided and set up. When both large barn doors are open and the ceiling fans are on you still have that "outdoor" feeling, yet you are protected from the elements. There is space in the back yard to have a Ceremony but you will need to supply the seating, setting up and tearing down immediately after the Ceremony.  

What is not allowed?

No firearms, weapons of any type, glitter, hay/stray bales, birdseed, rice or confetti.

Is the price less if we only use the Venue for one day instead of three?

No, we offer the weekend (Friday through Sunday) so that you do not feel rushed for time. Our rental fee is comparable (actually lower) than most of the local barn Venues that only offer a one day rental. We basically are adding on those 2 extra days as a bonus. Take your time and feel less stressed!

What is your cancellation policy?

If you cancel you do not get refunded any of the monies that have been paid to date. We have a  Strict NO refund policy.

What is your Smoking Policy?

No Smoking or Vaping is allowed inside any of the buildings. You can smoke anywhere outside as long as your cigarette butts end up in one of the three receptacles.
