We know couples have specific layout ideas for their tables and chairs, so we do not set up tables, chairs, or decorations. One month before your wedding, we will meet to go over how many tables and chairs you will need. We will also go over layout ideas. We have seen some creative layouts over the years, so we can give you different ideas. When you arrive to set up for your wedding, we will have tables out and ready for you to move. Staff does not help with decorating. You are responsible for setting up the decor and items you bring in.

We have ceiling fans and two barn fans at the end of the barn that help cool the barn down. Even in the hot summer heat, the fans make the barn feel cool.
