Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Overlooking miles of rolling countryside, this 20-acre event center perched on a hill is rustic yet modern and can host a celebration of almost any size. The elegant lodge-like buildings on the site are made of reclaimed barn wood and retain a timeless patina.
- A stunning gazebo with panoramic views provides a showstopping ceremony site. Hand-carved cedar pews surround the stone path that leads to the altar. Other outdoor areas include a cozy fire pit carved from an old rock quarry.
- Glowing chandeliers and exposed ductwork in the impressive reception hall create an exciting balance of vintage charm and industrial chic. Gorgeous cross-backed chairs, a customizable assortment of tables, uplighting, and more are included.
