OUR wedding experience
We’ve crafted a magical experience where all of the details have been considered and curated for you on this historic farm property - so begin dreaming darlings! Learn more about our wedding packages as you travel through our virtual tours and imagine sharing your vows in the woods, dancing on antique rugs, a farm to table feast before you. At the end of the night, waltz home through the lawn, a bonfire crackling and cozy up with your loved ones surrounding you. We hope you can meet us at the farm, in the forest, and under the twinkling night sky here at this one of a kind place.
additional add-on offerings & services
We’ve learned from our experience that our visual eye and helping hands are the most valuable offerings we can share with you - because ensuring your day is magical is our top priority. For 2025 bookings and beyond, we require our couples to book our Right Hand Coordination Package to ensure you are most supported throughout your day. We can always add on additional support if you require rental furniture movement, installations or decor staged beyond 1-2 bins. We require you book one of our Preferred Catering Partners.
