Our Century Old Red Barn breathes authenticity. Built in 1898, you will be drawn to the wood-pegged hand-hewn beams the moment you step through the immense sliding barn door into this stunning space. An exquisite crystal chandelier adds elegance to our rustic character. During your 3-day rental, you may celebrate slowly; host your rehearsal dinner on-site for no extra charge, enjoy your wedding and reception the next day, and leave the cleaning for the final day. Our spacious venue seats over 300 guests, in addition, our well-groomed lawns are for the perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony you desire. We are nestled within acres of rolling open countryside. From our large pergola deck, the sunsets over the surrounding fields are breathtaking, often reflected off the surface of our small lake. Charming and well-appointed Bridal and Groom's dressing suites are available. We boast of a large catering kitchen with abundant counter space and appliances.

“This is an amazing venue to work with. The staff is amazing and on-site. We were able to have any vendors we wanted. Valet parking is amazing. There was no surprise pricing. Everything is upfront and open. The value for what we get is amazing. We could be there all weekend. The planning meetings were super helpful and the venue is just gorgeous. 10/10 recommend”
