Absolutely! We have several indoor areas, including the upper level of our dairy barn to take advantage of our scenic vistas, the lower level of our dairy barn for a lovely mid-century industrial atmosphere, and our pole barn for a rustic blank slate to customize for your event. We want your big day to go smoothly, regardless of the weather, so we work with you ahead of time to make sure there is an inclement weather plan in place.

Can my vendors tour the farm ahead of time?
Absolutely! We highly recommend showing your vendors around the farm in advance to let them get the lay of the land! A one-hour walk-through is included in all of our packages. This is also a great time to check out the décor rental items we have available!

No, but our barn is equipped with commercial ceiling fans and Juliet balconies at either end that bring in the fresh country air, create a nice cross-breeze and fill the loft space with lots of natural light. We can recommend a fantastic vendor that offers air conditioning units and heaters faced in wood to match our barn, if you’re interested.

Our outdoor areas can accommodate up to 450 guests, while our barn can accommodate up to 175 guests for a seated dinner with dancing.
