No, all cars must leave the property after the event. The venue may be booked the following day and we will need all available parking for that event.
With all of the wood used to build the barn harvested from the land it sits on, we ask that you not put any holes in the wood. We have places with hooks already set up that you are free to use, be sure to look at these areas when taking your decor tour. The beams of the barn are very tall and not reachable by a ladder so for that reason we won’t allow streamers from the beams.
Of course! We just ask that if you plan to go into the woods you clear it with the management for safety reasons.
To keep our rental rates low, we ask that you provide certain cleaning tasks at the end of your event. See our after event cleaning checklist.

We suggest that you begin your ceremony by 4 so that you have time for pictures and the reception.
The reception area is under a roof and we do have an awning at one end of the barn allowing for a safe ‘under cover’ place for a ceremony.
