Are animals allowed at the Barn for weddings?

If the Bride and Groom are having their personal pets in the wedding then they may bring them but they must be crated before and after the ceremony and they are not allowed in the Meat House or the Farmhouse.

 

Is there a place for the bridal party to get ready?

The Farmhouse is the designated area for the ladies to get ready and the Meathouse is designated for the men.  Wedding guests are not permitted in those buildings.

 

Is there heating and air in the barn?

We do have heating and air in the kitchen and bathrooms.  The barn does not have heat or air but in the warmer months, the open doors and ceiling fans provide a nice cross breeze for comfort. We also have drum fans and high velocity floor fans. In case of extreme heat you can rent portable cooling fans from local vendors. In case of cold weather, we have stand up patio heaters.

 

What do we do in case of rain?

Having a rain plan is a must. Your options would be renting a tent or moving the ceremony into the barn. As a rule of thumb, you make a decision to rent a tent 7-10 days prior to the event if the chances of rain are favorable. Talking with local vendors ahead of time is recommended in order to know the rental prices and availability.

 

What if I want to change my wedding date?

You can change your date within two weeks after the contract is signed to another date without penalty. After two weeks, there is a $500 Change of Date fee.
