INTIMATE WEDDINGS

Having a big wedding isn't for everyone.

The pressure of accommodating mutual friends or distant relatives you rarely speak to.

Sending out a million invitations.

We understand some couples prefer a more intimate celebration with less of the stress. That's why our team of wedding specialists have designed our Intimate Wedding package.

All inclusive. 5-hour duration. A guest list of 30. Exclusive use of our beautiful Apple Barn and Courtyard. A variety of catering packages, and much more, all at a flat rate (date and year dependant)..
