Wedding venue - Farm



The farm was the most complicated site that we visited.



As visitors approach, the silo announces that this has been a working farm.





The structure where receptions are held has white wood shingles and a grey tin roof, surrounded by traditional Southern shrubs planted a generation ago.



One side of the structure had a rambling porch.



The other side had a covered porch with wide wooden tables for a cookout. In the grass were traditional roadside picnic tables.


Inside is a series of quirky rooms on several levels. In this one, brown wooden booths line the walls.



The dance floor is on the lowest level, where brown columns are topped by a tangle of branches, lit by hundreds of tiny lights.



Formerly a dairy farm, rolling hills and countryside surround the buildings. Many brides choose to be married under a massive oak tree with a pond near by. I wish I had gotten a photo of the tree.
