Get creative! It's your day and you can do what you want. If you don't want to read your vows in front of a crowd, you don't have to. If you're not comfortable doing a first dance, you don't have to. Your guests do not have to sit on certain sides of the aisle. Your bridesmaids do not have to match. Your honeymoon doesn't' have to immediately follow. You get to make the rules for your wedding.

Happy 4th everyone! Be safe.

This is not our farm (it's in Edison) but I couldn't pass up sharing it for the holiday.

Because it's impossible. What truly matters is you're marrying the love of your life.

Throwing it back to this EPIC choreographed dance for the bride by the groom and groomsmen. Wish social media would let me post the video but due to music restrictions it won't. :(

In case ya didn’t know by now, any two consenting adults who want to get married are welcome to do so at our venue and anyone from any walk of life or orientation is going to be treated respectfully here too, we don’t judge (unless you’re rude and break our s**t or our rules and then we may have a problem).

We stand by this now in June and every other 11 months of the year.

In a time where virtue signaling is all the rage, we believe it’s important for couples to know what places won’t turn them away- yes it happens in the wedding industry.

I’m reminded of one of our clients who was turned away from venues and was in tears after I said “we totally host gay weddings!" Because he was relieved it wasn’t another “no”.

The truth is that weddings are a luxury, because of this, a higher level of service is involved from the many vendors needed to orchestrate a traditional American wedding. It’s crucial to have a practical understanding of expenses and to thoroughly research to set accurate expectations. Beware, Pinterest may paint an unrealistic picture!
