Magical celebrations are held here at the unique old-fashioned French Barn, weaving together vintage plates, heavy silver cutlery, glassware, old school chairs, historic church pew and rustic tables to luxuriously style your wedding. Amid the beauty of Barn, your fairytale wedding becomes a reality.
