Parking

Please follow parking signs.

Restrooms

The main restrooms are inside our Event Barn. Please follow signs.

Please Dress for the Weather

We are a partially outdoor wedding venue. Weather permitting, nearly all ceremonies take place outside (typically spanning 15-60 minutes). The reception dinner and dance take place in our three-season Event Barn. We do our absolute best to the control for temperature but unusually cold days may require a jacket.

And yeah—you can wear that favorite pair of shoes! You’ll be mainly walking on indoor concrete, outdoor concrete, washed gravel, and well-maintained grass lawns.
