Quick Tip​​​​​​​​​💍✨ Forget about trends! Your wedding should look like an expression of your life together, not what a blog or magazine says it should look like. Adding personal elements to your special day make it memorable! Maybe it's a signature cocktail that you love making together on Friday nights, maybe its custom napkins with fun facts about your love story, or maybe its handpicked flowers from your grandmothers garden for you bouquet....whatever it may be these unique details reflect your love story and create cherished memories for you and your guests. 💖​​​​​​​​​
What we are loving... Personalized, functional wedding favors! We recommend and if you would like to add these special touches to your big day!

Looking for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience like this 👇🏻? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“Wow! We simply cannot say enough amazing things about Tori Vee, our INCREDIBLE DJ and now probably life long friend from Washburn!

My husband and I thought we had everything under control until we had our first zoom meeting with Tori, she opened our eyes to how we could truly make our day memorable, significant, special and sacred to us as individuals and now as a family.

She laid out the day from top to bottom, coached us into following our instincts and not sweating the small stuff and comforted us as the date approached and we had billions of things to do.

We honestly felt like she held our hand, coordinated our day and put a smile on our face the entire time...."

We can’t wait to throw more parties and have more excuses to work with Washburn and specifically Tori!”

- Lisa & Dale Wickham (2024)

✨💍We know, we know. This one should be a given...butttt, sometimes these details get overlooked in the mix of all the excitement of planning the actual event . ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Before you say “I do,” let's talk about the basics you need to bring to get your marriage license in Western New York

1️⃣ Your IDs, please! 🪪 Each of you will need a valid photo ID—think driver’s license, passport, or non-driver ID. You gotta prove you are who you say you are!

2️⃣ Birth Certificates 👶 (or passports) to show your age and place of birth

3️⃣ Cash or Card 💵💳 It's not the most expensive part of getting married, but its not free, so don’t forget to bring some payment love with you.

4️⃣ If you've been married before... 💔 Bring documentation of your divorce or the death certificate if you're widowed (we know, not the fun part, but it’s necessary!)

Always be sure to check with your individual county for the requirements where you live, however these basics should get you most of the way there!

Let’s get you hitched the right way, lovebirds! 💕

was resurrected to its late 1800s pristine state by husband and wife team Jenna and Martin Bruning. The two were inspired by their own barn wedding on Jenna's family dairy farm. Since hosting their first wedding in 2016, Jenna and Martin have taken pride in updating and caring for their space each year - most recently adding a beautiful patio and firepit for helping you to make the most of your wedding weekend! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Learn more about The Gallagher Barn and the rest of our Upstate Indie Crew at www.upstateindieweddings.com/directory!
