Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's a delightful farm, run by a third generation of family owners. Your photographer (and guests) will have a ball snapping photos around the property, which boasts plenty of fun inspiration—a bright pink tractor, friendly animals to feed, an oversized porch swing, a corn maze, and even an enormous faux milking cow.
- The stunning timber barn was hand-built by Amish artisans, without power tools or other modern conveniences. It's truly impressive, with a soaring vaulted ceiling, an 8-foot-tall tiered Swarovski crystal chandelier, and an upper mezzanine level that offers a bird's-eye view of the festivities below.
- Intimate events will be right at home in the Antique Barn. Following your ceremony (you have a choice of several pretty spots around the grounds), you'll gather at rustic, Amish-built picnic benches for dinner, dance under the stars beneath sparkling bistro lights, and wrap things up with a cozy bonfire.
