Happy Thursday, everyone!

As we draw closer to the new year we felt it time to share our new revised price list, which will become effective on January 1st, 2025. Pricing will remain the same untill then so we would suggest booking now for 2025 if possible.

In light of increasing costs, we have made a slight adjustment to our weekend bookings, increasing the price by $25. However, we have maintained our weekday booking prices at the same level as last year, ensuring we remain as affordable as possible.

As we enter our third year since opening, we have made every effort to avoid price increases thus far. We hope this minor adjustment will not significantly impact you wanting to book with us.

Existing bookings for 2025 will be honored at the original 2024 pricing discussed, with no additional charges or changes. Should you have any inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Now onto good news! We are excited to introduce our new range of rentable and bookable add-ons, including arbors, backdrops, cheese cloths, runners, and display chairs. These items will be available for rent or in addition to your booking, and we will continue to expand our offerings throughout the year. We have had many guests request these so we are happy to make it happen this coming year. Be on the lookout for a more detailed post on those items and their cost

Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Time to start catching up on photos. A really cool bridal shower took place here back in October. It was Disney themed and looks like every table had its own theme. Great ideas!

It's been an extremely busy year of bookings and we have been bad about posting pics of all the amazing setups that have happened over the last couple of months.

Get ready for lots of photos to help inspire your next event as we schedule daily posts for your viewing pleasure! We've got some from all the way back in July so lots to come.

Thanks so much for your support!

Occasionally we like to share how far along the building has come since we purchased it about 6 years ago. This place was straight out of the 60's and after Lots of long nights and tons of hard work we have managed to make her shine. The event center, kitchen area, and bathrooms equal about 2800 sqft in total.

We still have roughly 6,000 sqft of space we havnt renovated yet on the two other sides of the event center. One side being our woodworking shop and the other side is just empty space. There is also roughly 1.5 acres back behind the building that we are trying to decide what to do with.❓️

The current plan is to build a new wood shop out at our house and begin renovation on that side of building and see where it goes from there. Stay tuned who knows what will come from this point! 🤔💭🙃
