What time can the bride and groom be at the barn on wedding day?
Venue rental starts at noon. You can pay $50/hour to be there as early as 10:00AM. Our staff needs time to prepare the barn for your day. We do a fresh cleaning each wedding day morning. You must sumbit your arrival time on your final profile.
Where do the groom and groomsmen hang out before ceremony?
They roam around the grounds and they get dressed in the “man cave” named the Milk House next to the guy’s bathroom. This is a nice room with air conditioning/heat designated for them that has benches, a full length mirror, a rack for hanging suits and jackets, as well as is close to where they will need to be for the ceremony.
Do you have any sort of room to get dressed in just for the day?
Friday brides can spend the night before in the Granary Suites and have those spaces to get ready in the morning of.
Saturday brides can spend the night before in The Grande Shanty and have that space to get ready in the morning of and then move over to the venue and Granary Suites at noon.
If we choose to get the infused water are glasses/cups included?
Yes, we also provide water for on the way up the garden path for guests to enjoy after many spending a long period of time traveling in a car. This also helps eliminate the amount of crinkling water bottles of guests during the ceremony. If you have infused water we provide that during cocktail hour and throughout the rest of the night. We provide the glasses for that as well.
When can we start setting up and decorating?
As soon as you arrive that day at noon, unless you rent barn prior to noon with our nominal hourly rate, no earlier than 10am. This is for the venue only, not suite/lodging access.
How many bistro tables are there and where are they located?
We have a total of 14 small bistro/cocktail tables throughout the venue: south patio, north patio, Milking Parlor, and courtyard, glass barn and patios.
The Glass Barn has one large rectangle table, 2 low bistro tables, and 3 tall bistro tables.
The Fieldstone Patio (next to Glass Barn) typically is set up with 8 to 10 60” round tables. Each table seats up to 8.
