Courtyard

Adjacent to the Smithy/Tack Room, is the flower-filled courtyard which creates the perfect backdrop for your memorable day. The Courtyard is a wonderful location for photographs and for guests to enjoy a bit of the outdoors. White, fan-backed chairs would be provided for your wedding guests.

The Loft

Originally the hayloft of the barn, the Loft, retains the original wooden high beam ceilings and features a large hardwood dance floor. Enter the Loft through the distinctive silo staircase and capture some unique photos. Beautiful earth tones and maple benches make the room warm and inviting. This comfortably elegant room can accommodate up to 220 guests. However, once we are able to reopen, new social distancing restrictions will most likely limit our capacity numbers.

Smithy/Tack Room

This fully carpeted room, on our main level, provides an ideal space for meetings and intimate gatherings. The Smithy/Tack room comfortably seats up to 65 guests and is divided into two areas. However, once we are able to reopen, new social distancing restrictions will most likely limit our capacity numbers. The many glass doors, that look out on to a flower-filled courtyard were once used for the cows to enter the barn.

Commercial Kitchen

The fully equipped kitchen features a 10 burner gas range and oven, a convection and warming oven, a large reach-in refrigerator, an ice machine, ample work stations, a dumbwaiter and stairs to the second floor prep kitchen and a convenient outside entrance for catering service. Bring a licensed caterer of your choice.
