The Venue & Your Guests

Capacity, Parking & What's Included

How many guests can you accommodate?

We offer seating and room for up to 250 of your guests. Prior to your event we will ensure that seating arrangements have been made tailored specifically to the size of your party.

What are the parking arrangements?

We have dedicated parking with direct access to the venue's entry and exit doors. With the venue located on 20 acres of land, there is always plenty of space for parking — including two Level 2 electric-vehicle charging stations.

How many events are booked in a day?

Only one. We believe the wedding day is one of the most special days of a couple's life — not only for you to enjoy every moment, but also for your close family and friends. We allow a single event per day so your experience is uninterrupted and solely focused on you.

Are tables, tablecloths, and chairs provided?

Yes. We provide rustic solid-wood cross-back seating with burlap cushions, round and rectangular tables, and tablecloths (standard colors white or black) for 250 guests inside the venue, plus elegant white chairs for outdoor ceremonies. All layouts can be adjusted and modified to meet your specific needs.

Is lighting provided inside and outside of the venue?

Of course! There is ample indoor and outdoor lighting, including elegant crystal chandeliers throughout the barn.

Describe your bride and groom's suites.

Both suites were designed with comfort, privacy, and tradition in mind. The bride's suite includes a chandelier, full-length elegant mirror, multiple beauty and makeup stations, and immaculate imported tile flooring from Spain. Each suite also offers the amenities expected of a five-star venue: private full custom bathrooms, indoor and outdoor electronic keypad access, circular staircases to the second-story loft and balcony with winding stairs down to the main floor, lounge chairs and couches, mirrors, prepping areas, LED TVs, and more. See them on the venue page.
