Celebration Barn

Our 150 year-old hand-pegged Celebration Barn is the ideal canvas to create the reception of your dreams. Decorate with drapes and lighting for a more elegant feel, or keep it simple for something more rustic.

Making Things Easy

We pride ourselves on creating a memorable experience for couples as they plan their wedding day. On top of providing a beautiful venue, we have generated a list of recommended vendors for all areas of wedding planning. From catering to florists, we have worked with the best in the business and are happy to give you the information you need to find the vendors that will make your dreams a reality. And if you are looking for a coordinator to help relieve some of the weight of planning every detail, we have some suggestions!

If the wedding planning process seems too overwhelming and you would prefer to simplify it, our curated wedding package could be the solution! Our team has worked hard to create a package that narrows down the number of choices that have to be made, while still providing enough variety to create a wedding that is unique to you.
