  • Yes! We have been able to network with many vendors whom we love, which you can view at the link below!

    Preferred Vendors

  • Yes, absolutely! We just ask that you provide buckets of water for the guests to place their used sparklers in.

  • There are designated areas around the building for smoking.

  • We can establish a rehearsal time within 60 days of the event.

  • At this time, we do not have wifi in the barn venue, so everything should be downloaded for use for music or other tech use.

    For severe or more inclement weather, we can move the ceremony inside the barn reception hall.

    At the conclusion of the event, we allow one hour for tear down, which includes picking up items you do not intend to leave onsite (rental items, clothing from bridal cottage, decorations you want to keep, etc). We ask that all trash is thrown away from event and bridal cottage, and any used decor items returned in the condition they were found in. Any used chargers must be washed and returned at the conclusion of the event.
