Our first Shindig of the season is this Saturday, November 30th! No experience is necessary, so bring a friend and give them an experience they'll remember. Please wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle. We also ask to wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes to protect our freshly polished dance floor.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope to see you on November 30th!

Anyone remember our very first wedding arch at the barn? Mother Nature left us with this crazy gift after the Halloween snow/ice storm of 2011. It made for some great photos and wedding ceremony backgrounds. Guess it wasn't meant to stay, the tree finally collapsed in 2016, but there are still many lovely spots for photo ops on the property. 😊

The barrel cocktail tables are finally done just in time for the first fall wedding tomorrow!! I just stood and looked at this area for about 10 minutes before leaving tonight remembering my swingset and slip ‘n slide being in this exact spot just a few years back… 😆 Thanks to LJ & co. for your handiwork and my amazing husband for helping get through the many fun hours of mulching & planting the last few weeks! 😅

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Radcliffe!! 💞🥂🕊️ What a beautiful wedding and fun family to work with. Thanks to all the amazing vendors we had, plus “Scotty” the Photobooth & a VW Bus for photo ops in our new gathering area behind the barn, it all made for a perfect day!

We are excited to say that the VW Bus can now be offered as a pairing with “Scotty” Photobooth rentals upon request!

The new food truck/gathering area is mostly complete! Walking through last night after dark felt a bit magical. ✨ AJP Electric LLC did a great job with the lights! I was going to add music to this video but then you wouldn’t be able to hear the tree frogs… and my flipflops. 😆

Progress on the backyard! Gravel and string lights next. Picked up some barrels today to be made into tables. Thanks Daniel Riley Jr. for your help!

Goodbye red brick roooaaad (sung like the Elton song).. It has begun! We are redesigning the area behind the barn for a food truck/bistro/picnic area. Thanks to LJ & his crew for helping turn my big ideas into reality! 🤗
