The Barn
As “perfect” for rehearsal dinners, sports award banquets, anniversary/birthday parties, wedding showers, etc. The Stable and the Hayloft These two smaller venues within “The Barn” provide more intimacy for gatherings of all types while still enjoying that true, rustic “feel”. These are lovely and authentic spaces with plenty of options for events.
The Piers
These two waterside “docks” are also a beautiful place to exchange your vows. Facing the pond, these make lovely backdrops for wedding portraits and other event group photos.
