Exciting news for Roann! In-Laws Catering & Creamery is located just over three miles away. Great local option for Dear John Acres weddings and events!

Big announcement!
Opening Thursday May 18th

I’d like to introduce In-Laws Catering and Creamery, brought to you by June Haecker (Mother-in-law) and Larry McClelland (Son-in-law). We are really looking forward to bringing quality ice cream and catering to a quality town.

The time has finally come and we will be opening our doors this Thursday, May 18th at 11am. We will start with ice cream, baked goods, and whatever other treats pop into our heads. We have a lot of big ideas, but would like to perfect the small things first. Continue to watch for posted specials, like smoked meats and breakfast handhelds. We look forward to serving the town of Roann and the surrounding communities. Feel free to hit us up for any of your catering needs. Graduation parties are right around the corner!

Transformation Tuesday!

The first photo was taken in September 2019 when we first decided that the barn was going to be our wedding venue. It was sentimental to me and I thought it had great bones! I was ok with the way it looked, but a few (major) fixes later and I can’t believe how beautiful it turned out! By the time we were married in August 2020, the barn had underwent a roof to floor restoration! It turned out perfectly and our family is so excited to see more couples get married here this year!

This was a wedding reception from last fall. Such a beautiful day and lovely evening under the lights. It is such a joy to watch all the love and support a couple receives when becoming one.
