We require that you provide at a minimum a name and cell phone number of someone other than the couple getting married, or the event host who can be easily contacted if the need arises. It is our preferrence and in your best interest to hire a professional. Your coordinator takes on the task of making sure your event runs smoothly, from managing and overseeing the first delivery, to the tear-down and clean-up of the venue. Do not underestimate the amount of work that goes into executing an event. You will find recommendations for coordinators on our preferred vendors sheet provided upon booking.

We are a facility rental not a hotel. The barn is on the same property as our home. We do not offer overnight accommodations. Absolutely no overnight camping, no RVs, or the like

Our family home is on the property, so someone is usually close by; however, we are not managing your event and have limited oversight to the facility. We may enter the event at any time, we and our representatives are authorized to enforce the policies and procedures of the venue and your contract, as well as other venue-related duties. We are not responsible for the set-up, tear-down, or clean-up of your event. We may periodically check in, and we will do a walk-through with your caterer, coordinator, or other "point" person at the end of your event to ensure clean up has met our requirements.

Due to liability, we limit the types and amount of animals on our property. Please contact us directly and make a specific request. We will see how we can accommodate you.

Rose petal stains that require pressure washing to remove may result in a partial loss of your damage deposit.

You will need to monitor the weather forecasts in the days prior to your event or work with a professional wedding planner to advise you on weather and setting up any outdoor activities. Many clients choose to use the inside of the barn for their ceremony as a backup plan. You may also considering renting a tent and/or heaters due to possible inclement weather. Any tents that require staking into the ground must have 811 Dig - called in advance to review utility lines. Keep in mind that there will be spray paint in the grass and on concrete and in all likelihood will be visible on your wedding day. Please talk to us in advance about paint removal after the tent is installed. All labor will be billed accordingly.

It is extremely important that your guests do not park outside of our gates on the road leading to our property.
