In the late summer of 2016, my friend Gretchen and I began to talk about a barn venue. What followed can only be described as a mild form of insanity.

We cleaned out pack rat nests, hauled mounds of trash, and sorted through treasures that had been there for years. We couldn't have gotten it where it is today without our trusty drill, hammer, cut-off saw, or tractor. 

We hauled and used native lumber, bricks, and tin. We strung yards of burlap and lights from the ceiling to bring in the rustic feel. We scrounged my Dad's barn high and low for materials and were able to make long wood banquet tables. 

With our drive and hard work along with a lot of helping hands, the venue opened 5 months after the inception of the idea. What started as a reception barn has now grown into an entire experience that includes a bridal lounge, grooms room, honeymoon cottage, outdoor ceremony areas, AND a beautiful outdoor bar.
