Getting ready …

for your wedding day requires an equally beautiful space. The bride and her brides-maids are invited into the lounge area with abundant seating for everyone to prepare makeup and hair. This space offers the bride wonderful natural light and comfortable space to get ready for her big celebration. Once your hair, nails and make up is ready and you are in your wedding gown we offer numerous spaces to celebrate the night away.

The Old Barn

From there, guests would take a stroll through the pretty garden to the old barn, which offers the perfect setting for through the night celebrations. A neutral space. Dress it up any way you dream. The Barn can be transformed to cater to your style and can include a dance floor and evening lounge on opposite sides of the dining area offering both the rowdy bunch and the crowd wanting to sit back and relax a comfortable space. We can offer you a list of local suppliers and collaborators – with resources and experience to transform the barn.
