What is included
Everything You Are Getting
Every line below is in your package price or your venue rental. Nothing here is an estimate you have to worry about later.
Your Venue Rental
- Twelve hours, start to finish — Yours to place anywhere between five in the morning and eleven at night. Most couples take eleven to eleven, and their decorators come earlier.
- The barn, the wooded cove, the stone-fireplace courtyard and the covered pavilion — Your ceremony goes wherever you want it, and if the forecast turns, the pavilion is set as your second plan before anybody has to ask.
- The room built before you ever walk into it — You do not arrive to a work in progress. You arrive to a wedding.
- Our own decor, here at the venue — The barn keeps its own collection, and your coordinator builds with it. Between our pieces and theirs, most couples find they never need to buy or rent a thing.
Your Coordinator
- A coordinator who takes over six weeks out — From that point forward they speak to every vendor, and you do not chase a single one of them.
- One master timeline that everybody works from — The caterer, the DJ, the florist and the photographer are all reading the same page.
- Full setup before you arrive and full teardown after you leave — Runners, candles, signage and every piece that dresses the room. Nobody is stacking chairs at the end of the night.
- Their own collection of decorations — Both of the coordinators we work with keep an extensive stock of their own — candles, lanterns, vessels, signage, stands, arbor dressing. It comes with them, and it comes at no extra charge.
- A wedding design meeting — We sit down and talk about what you actually want it to look like, and then we go and build that. Not something close to it.
The Ceremony
- The wooded cove, the covered pavilion, the stone-fireplace courtyard or the barn — Each one photographs beautifully and each one photographs differently. All four are yours with the venue, so the only thing deciding it is where you want to stand.
- Chairs set and your aisle laid — Done long before you are dressed, so the only thing you do that morning is get ready. An arbor from our collection is an optional addition — you’ll find it under Optional extras.
- A rehearsal run by somebody who has done it here before — On the morning of, inside your twelve hours. Your wedding party walks it once, properly, and then nobody is guessing.
The Food
- Two proteins, three sides and dessert — From the barbecue pit or the stove. See both kitchens under Your included menu. You choose after you book, and nothing is locked until your final details meeting.
- A staffed buffet all evening — Restocked, pre-bussed and broken down without you lifting a finger. This is buffet service, not plated — your guests go up, and everything after that is ours.
- Plates, utensils, napkins and beverage service — All included. Nothing to rent, nothing to return, nothing to load into somebody's truck at the end of the night.
- Dietary needs handled quietly — Tell us about any vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or allergy guests and we take it to the kitchen directly. It costs you nothing.
The Bar
- Five hours of full bar service — Two bartenders, a proper back bar with linen, cocktail cups, ice, garnishes and a water station.
- A shopping list built around your guest count — Your bartender orders it and picks it up. You never pay a markup on a bottle, and the leftovers are yours.
- An off-duty officer, in plain clothes — Required any time there is a bar, and already inside your price. Unless something happens you will never know they are there, and neither will your guests.
Music
- Five hours of DJ — Prelude through the last dance, matched to the room you want rather than the room they usually play.
- A separate sound system for your ceremony — So your vows carry as clearly as your first dance.
Your Flowers
- A three thousand dollar floral allowance — Enough to flower a wedding properly. Your bouquet, bouquets for the girls standing beside you, boutonnieres for the men, the ceremony dressed, and something on every table your guests sit at.
- You pick the colors and the florist builds to them — Bring a palette, a season, a photograph off your phone, or bring nothing at all and let them make suggestions. It is your taste that decides it — we are simply the ones who pay the bill.
- Further than you would think — Couples are often surprised how far three thousand dollars goes once somebody who does this for a living is the one spending it. Most walk away with the flowers they actually pictured rather than a trimmed-down version of them.
- Designed alongside the room — Your coordinator and your florist work from the same idea, so the flowers and the tables read as one decision rather than two.
Your Cake
- A large three-tier cake — eight, ten and twelve inch, serving one hundred fifteen — Made local and sized to your guest count, so nobody is cutting slivers.
- A tasting before you decide anything — Flavor, filling, icing and finish all still open.
- Chocolate covered strawberries and cake pops — Set out at exactly the right point in the night, when the dancing has been going a while and people start drifting past the table looking for something. If you want the chocolate fountain as well, it is waiting in the optional extras.
The Send-Off
- Your choice of send-off — Sparklers, glow wands, ribbon wands, bubbles or bird seed. Each one makes a different photograph. We hand them out and we clean them up.
- Full room uplighting — The barn becomes a different place after dark, and this is how that happens.
The Day Itself
- A venue host on site the entire time — Ours. Bathrooms, trash, lights, doors and every small thing that would otherwise land on somebody in your family.
- Nothing asked of you — Not one question on the morning of your wedding.
How it actually runs
Your Day, Start to Finish
This is what the money buys. Not a list of things, but a day where neither of you is needed for any of it.
You are getting ready. Somewhere behind you, doors are open, vendors are arriving, and your room is being built.
It is finished. Tables set, runners laid, candles placed, everything where it should be. You did not carry a thing.
Your music plays through its own system. Somebody cues the doors, and nobody is looking around for whoever is supposed to start it.
The bar is open, your photographs are happening. Neither of you has been asked a question.Your photographs are happening and your guests have the run of the barn and the patio. Neither of you has been asked a question.
You go through the buffet once. It stays staffed and restocked all evening, and the serving line is kept tidy without anybody in your family getting up to do it.
The doors open onto the patio and the string lights come on. Five hours of music, dancing under the stars, and a send-off at the door when the two of you are ready to go.It is dark by five and the barn is lit from the inside. The doors stay shut, the room pulls in close, and a winter wedding turns out to be the warmest one there is. Five hours of music, and a send-off at the door when the two of you are ready to go.
We stay. The room comes down around us and none of it is your problem. Your gifts, your cards and anything you carried in go to whoever you name, boxed and in their car.

Your Menu and Extras
What we are actually offering
Be a Guest at Your Own Wedding
Nobody you love should spend your wedding day working. Not you, not your mother, and not the friend who always ends up organizing things.
Most couples do not book a venue. They book a venue, then a caterer, then a bar, then a DJ, then somebody for the flowers, and then they spend a year holding all of it together in a group chat. Six contracts. Six deposits. Six people to chase when one of them goes quiet in March.
This is one contract and one phone number. We have already found these vendors, negotiated with them, and worked with them here over and over. They know where the power is, how long load-in takes, and what time the light goes. When something needs fixing, they fix it among themselves.
Six weeks out, a coordinator takes the whole thing off you. From that point every question goes to them instead of to you. On your wedding day, your room is built while you are still getting ready. And when it is over, you leave and we stay. Every table stripped, every rental stacked, your gifts and cards boxed and handed to whoever you name.
By the time the doors open, the only two things left on your list are getting married and enjoying the party. That is not a turn of phrase. That is the actual list.
That is the whole idea
One price, one contact, and a day that happens to you rather than because of you.
So there are no surprises
Also On Your Side
A few things you pay for directly rather than through us. We would rather you see them now than find them later.
And the people you bring with you
Photography, an officiant, hair and makeup
These are personal choices, and most couples have somebody in mind long before they have a venue.
If you would rather not spend another evening scrolling, tell us at your tour which of them you are still looking for. We will send a few names your way, and you can meet them, like them, or keep looking.
