Setting The Scene

Cocktail Hour

Guests savor cocktails and appetizers on a spacious outdoor patio adorned with beautiful landscaping, while you and your spouse create breathtaking wedding photos that will evoke the enchantment of your special day for years to come. Imagine stealing kisses in the corn maze or strolling hand in hand through the wildflower field for the very first time as husband and wife.

Photo Opps

Guests will have an amazing time capturing and sharing photos on our vintage tractors and vehicles, as well as enjoying the mountain slide and porch swing, along with other unique photo spots. With the picturesque setting of our rustic farm, the photo opportunities are truly limitless.

Dining

In our Amish BARN, the table setups are limitless, featuring burlap and lace runners, charming wine bottles, and mason jars filled with fresh-cut flowers, all tailored to reflect your unique style. An 8-foot Swarovski crystal chandelier is beautifully complemented by bistro lighting and uplighting, enhancing the stunning exposed beams, decorative whiskey barrels, and the delightful aromas of a catered meal. This inviting atmosphere draws guests into the celebratory feast, while a band plays softly in the background.

After Sunset

Twirl the night away beneath a starry country sky, fling your bouquet from the patio balcony like a true romantic! Then, cap off your dreamy day at the farm with a cozy bonfire, raising a toast to your fabulous new adventure together.

Can you say Total Country Bliss?

The scenes above are just some examples of the endless possibilities our wedding venue can offer. We want each event to be as unique as the couple sharing their precious moments with us.
