  • 80 guests max.

  • We sure do! The entire barn, both restrooms and the getting ready lounge are all temperature controlled. It is absolutely glorious and lovely.

  • We only rent the space for one event a day to give the best experience to our guests. If you figure on an hour to set up and another hour to gather items, a 4 hour time frame for your party sounds relaxing.

  • We tried this approach in the beginning. After some stressful experiences, we decided to create a vast list of approved caterers that are familiar with the space. Every person on our list has worked here before and received rave reviews. You are welcome to bring your own desserts in though!

  • The host of the party can provide beer and wine for guests, but we cannot have guests BYOB to the event. If any liquor is to be served, a professional bartender must be hired to serve. We do require liability waiver to be on file before the event.

  • Yes! Please bring personal items labeled in boxes with your name and event date on them the week of the event. Closed Mondays. All items must be removed at the end of your event.

  • For a wedding, we encourage you to rent a tent to set up in our courtyard. The ceremony can be held under the tent and then flipped for dancing or a lounge area. If you decide to skip the tent, all wedding guests will be seated inside the barn at their tables.

  • We have put a lot of thought into the comfort of all guests, especially anyone in a wheelchair. Handicap spots are right next to the main entrance and our new ADA bathroom is getting rave reviews.

  • We will be booking events March 1st through December 23rd. We will not be open in January or February.

  • We have an Alexa speaker you can connect to and we also have wifi. You are welcome to bring in other speakers. We do not have a microphone or speakers for ceremonies.

  • Absolutely! For weddings, your package includes a wedding planner plus 2 event helpers. For showers or other private parties, there will be one event helper. All events will have parking attendants.

  • Our retail store will remain open for shopping through the duration of your event.

  • The $1000 retainer is nonrefundable. Any additional payments made prior to 30 days before event would be refunded. Payment in full is due 30 days prior to event. Any cancellations within 30 days of the event would not be refunded. We can work with the client to reschedule.
