Nick and Mariah’s fall wedding was a beautiful blend of seasonal charm and personal touches! The combination of the wedding party in velvet dresses and black suits perfectly complimented the autumn colors. Mariah’s passion for Halloween added a delightful twist, infusing elegance with a playful spirit throughout the decor. It’s clear that their wedding was a reflection of who they are as a couple, showcasing simplicity and intimacy alongside the love they share.

It’s such a picturesque time of year and we loved seeing Mariah and Nick keeping it simple, intimate, pretty and classy. Everything was so them ❤️Seeing the wedding party and friends come together on the dance floor to celebrate their love surely made for unforgettable memories. The way Nick looks at Mariah is so heartwarming, a testament to their nearly decade-long journey together. Their love story is one we admire and celebrate. We love your love!

Congratulations again to Nick and Mariah on their special day! Please enjoy our behind the scenes sneak peeks, as well as professional photos from J. Avila Portrait & Fine Art. We love the Fall colors and the magic it adds to the occasion. Here's to a lifetime of love and happiness to Nick and Mariah, holding their special day on October 25th, 2025 at The Barn at Higgins Lake.

The 2nd Annual Decorated Bra Auction was here at the barn last Tuesday to raise money for breast cancer awareness and it was a ball. Event producer, Laura-Jean Siggens, along with her dedicated team, models, photographer Jessie Ann, DJ Dan, auctioneer aka Punk and many generous local businesses, truly knocked it out of the park!

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, they raised an incredible $7,000 for a cause that touches so many lives. Local businesses went above and beyond, crafting unique bras and generously donating items for the raffle tables. A special shoutout to The Polar Parlor for their delicious pizza, keeping our models fueled with energy throughout the night!

Check out these fun professional photos from the event, captured by local photographer Jessie Ann Photo Co., to relive the unforgettable moments. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, talent, and resources to make this event a success. Together, we're making a difference!

Patrick and Sarah Gaudard finally had their special day and it was so beautiful! The one word we would describe this wedding would be TOGETHERNESS 😍 Sarah wore her mom’s wedding dress, creatively repurposed into a top and paired with jeans for rehearsal. The veil was the cherry on top and super fun.

The rain played a little song and dance but by the time it was ready to set the stage for the ceremony, it was dry and Fall perfection 🍃 🍁Their best buds found their seats for the reception on the cutest seating chart, “Our Best Buds.” Their little girl, Sutton, was just icing on the cake! She was there to cheer on the speeches, hug babies, be so adorable throwing her flower pedals, love on the grandparents, be super sassy and dance the special dances. There were a lot of happy tears, beautiful stories shared and some serious dance moves.

Patrick’s emotional reflection on having their loved ones by their side truly captures the essence of what weddings are about—family, friends, love and support. Patrick’s brother Pete who officiated, along with the three speeches from the wedding party were so beautiful! Nicely done guys 🍾❤️🎉 Sarah’s infectious smile, positive energy and kind spirit brings light to every situation. It’s obvious from special occasions to everyday moments, she seems to have a way of lighting up the room. It's such a beautiful quality to have, Sarah 😍

Congratulations to Patrick and Sarah Gaudard on their special day at The Barn at Higgins Lake on October 18th, 2025. Here's a glimpse of our behind-the-scenes sneak peek pictures, along with Jessie Ann Photo Co. sneak peeks.

Garrett and Samantha’s journey began with an engagement at our venue, and seeing their vision come to life was nothing short of magical! From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by a stunning ceremony entrance—an elegant arbor that set the stage for a romantic celebration. The highlight? Their beloved dog, Rolex, who strutted down the aisle in a snazzy bow tie, fitting right in with the wedding party!

Samantha showcased her playful personality by ingeniously incorporating her last name, Fortune, into the seating chart. Guests enjoyed a delightful twist by finding their names inside adorable tags that led them to their tables.

As the festivities kicked off, the Y’all Band took the stage, introducing Garret and Samantha with unmatched energy! The dance floor was alive all night and we were happy to see momma Char joined in the fun 🤩

No celebration is complete without sweets, and this one certainly didn’t hold back! Between the charming sugar cookies, yummy cupcakes, and a fantastic mobile ice cream bar, guests had plenty of sweet treats to indulge in. Super cute!🍦🍪🍨

We loved having the Y’all Band playing live and keeping it hot on the dance floor with their covers. The night ended with new heights as Garrett was behind the drums and Samantha wowing everyone with her incredible beatboxing skills. We can truly say that was a first in the barn👸 ❤️ 👑

Congratulations, Garret and Samantha, on your beautiful wedding day on October 11th, 2025! Here’s a glimpse of the joy captured in our behind-the-scenes sneak peek pictures, along with Take Two Photography’s sneak peeks. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness! What a night to remember 💕✨

What a beautiful weekend and celebration for newly wedded, Mr. and Mrs. Zaske! It was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Ashlyn's decision to honor her mother by wearing her wedding dress altered for rehearsal and to give her the bouquet flowers instead of the toss were a lovely touch. Also, Dylan's enthusiasm during the rehearsal truly sets the tone for their playful and affectionate relationship. We were happy to see he behaved himself or refrained from dipping Ashlyn on wedding day 🤣We have no idea where he gets it from (enter sarcasm here).

The decorative elements, from the potted mums to framed photos of wedding pics from “The Love Story Before Ours,” added a personal and heartfelt atmosphere to the ceremony. It was beautiful to remember family members with seats saved in their honor and charms on the bride’s bouquet. The flowers and Ashlyn’s wedding dress train were so gorgeous! That train deserved a moment all to itself 😍 The thoughtful touches, like the audio guestbook and the nostalgic letters they wrote to themselves in highschool that their teacher mailed to them years later, created lasting memories that the couple will cherish forever.

The homemade cookies and petit fours on the dessert table were so beautiful. Kids playing outside and soaking up mid 80’s weather was quite the treat for October 🌞 🍁 🏈 A special shout out to the cutest mum mover and garter snake wrangler 😍 The dance floor was also a blast! The alligator dance tradition from Dylan’s parents was a fun way to keep the spirit alive, and it was great to see that everyone hit the dance floor and celebrated the night away.

Congratulations once again to Mr. and Mrs. Zaske, married on October 4th, 2025. We loved getting to witness the love you have for your family and friends! It is very evident how close you are and that family is everything! We wish you a lifetime filled with love and adventure! Here’s to your bright future together 🥂 🍾 ❤️ Here are our behind the scenes sneak peek pics.

What can we say about newly wedded, Jacob and Paige Duby’s wedding? Our hearts our so full to see how happy they were to finally get married after they patiently waited for two years from the time they booked for their perfect weekend! These two will make anyone’s heart swoon ❤️

The rehearsal started out with Paige wearing her grandmother’s custom silk dress that her grandmother wore to Paige’s parent’s wedding 36 years ago. Her parent’s same wedding cake server was also used to cut the couple’s cake. So many great special sentimental touches throughout the weekend that created future family traditions! This same special grandmother, Grandma Gail, started preparing a year ago by meticulously crafting dried hydrangeas from her garden for this special day. We all would be so lucky to have a Grandma Gail ❤️

The ceremony weather was perfect and the fabric long draped on the oak tree branch was elegant and added a romantic touch, just like Paige’s dress. Wow, that dress! Witnessing Jacob watch his bride walk down the aisle for the first look, was all the feels 🥰 Family held it together as best as they could with Paige’s dad’s “DID TOO” speech. A special moment of an item that only Paige shared with her parents as a little girl growing up. We’re pretty sure dad held back more tears when he received his wedding tie from Paige with a pic of herself as a little girl with him on the backside of the tie 🥹 Her parents also made sure that the couple received their beautiful stained glass backdrop for guests to have as a unique photo opportunity. This was quite the journey to make this happen and it was worth all the effort! The candles with babies breath and the unique eclectic dinner plates set such a beautiful and romantic look for the reception. The support from both sets of parents and the wedding party highlighted the strong network surrounding the couple, ensuring that every detail was attended to and allowed the couple to enjoy their day fully. The celebration on the dance floor was undoubtedly filled with some great dance moves and laughter, marking a fabulous start to their journey as Mr. and Mrs. Duby 💃🏼 ❤️🕺🏻

Overall, the wedding was not just a union of two hearts but a beautiful blend of family, love, tradition, and joy, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Duby! Here are our behind the scenes pics for Jake and Paige’s special day, married on September 27th, 2025.

Almost twenty months ago this beautiful family walked through our doors for a tour and we have been so lucky to get to witness their love and bond over time. The couple were lucky enough to have perfect weather by the time their ceremony arrived 🌞🐿️🍁 Tony’s daughter, as the flower girl, walked down the aisle to her dad and his dance with his little girl was even more special ❤️ The assigned seating chart was really unique for when guests took their name card off, it revealed a picture of the couple. The best man’s speech added a fun touch of humor to the evening and will be hard to forget 🤣 There were so many great moments ❤️

To see the effort that Courtney put into planning their special day with her mother’s amazing support, added so much joy to the day. The dessert table by Courtney’s mom was a delicious highlight and the homemade pasta made by the family for dinner added a personal touch, especially appreciated by the Italian New York guests! 🍝 👨‍🍳💋 The night really embraced the couple’s personality from the decor, food, the boutonnieres wrapped in rifle casings, love and family.

Congratulations to newly wedded, Tony & Courtney Giammarva, married on September 20th, 2025 at The Barn at Higgins Lake. Here are our behind the scenes sneak peek pics, along with Heather from Take Two Photography’s sneak peeks ❤️👰🤵🏻‍♂️🎊

A big congratulations to the Traver’s, married on September 13th, 2025. From their heartfelt first dance with their twins and playful banter between the two, it was a day filled with cherished moments and sweet memories.

Family connections were honored, with loved ones remembered and celebrated, adding depth to the festivities. The blend of sassiness and sweetness perfectly captured the essence of Destyni and Nathan 😍 The beautiful dessert table welcomed the Fall season upon us. Yes to donuts and the leaves already starting to change! The reception was decorated classy and timeless, while Destyni stood out radiating confidence in her stunning modern-day vintage twist dress. Nathan is always looking sharp in his police uniform but he met his bride at the alter looking so sharp and dapper 🤵🏻‍♂️ ❤️ 👰 We could not get enough of this cute family!! Congratulations!!!

The Winters' wedding was a great celebration that truly reflected their values and personalities. With a warm embrace of God, lively games, and the joy of live music, the atmosphere was filled with a lot of love. The peace radiating from the guests, family, and the newlyweds created an unforgettable ambiance.

It was a cold windy day and the indoor ceremony room was filled with God, worship, love and a lot of prayers. It was beautiful and touching! A special shout out to Jordan’s dad who was passionate about the weekend and giving his beautiful blessing for the union ❤️

The choice of board and card games at each table added a special uniqueness and camaraderie among guests. Jordan's adorable children added an extra layer of sweetness to the day, gracefully celebrating the union and welcoming John into their family. We loved getting to witness your littles celebrating the day! John’s musical talents were showcased in the day and we loved the instrument case for the card “box.” It was a day that embodied simplicity, God, peace and the pure beauty of love.

Here are our behind the scenes pics, along with professional photography sneak peeks by Heather with Take Two Photography. Congrats to The Winters, married on
