Do you have a place for an outdoor ceremony?
Yes...a pergola area is located at one end of the barn and features a round concrete area to accommodate as many guests as you can fit on the patio area. The bride/groom can stand under a beautiful heavy timber pergola in front on an open 8 foot sliding barn door or turn around and have a field as a background. There is also a field option that features a set of barn doors and pergola with a woodsy background or a covered pavilion.
​
Is there a back-up plan if the weather is bad?
Yes...Don't worry about that....There is plenty of room inside the barn to accommodate an indoor wedding as well as a reception, or you can use the covered pavilion outside. You may also choose to have the ceremony on the loft overlooking the bottom level as your guests sit in comfort below.
​
