Yes, most of our weddings have their ceremony on-site. Ceremonies include an Event Coordinator, arranged white chairs outside for each guest, one-hour rehearsal on Thursday evening prior to your wedding and an additional hour of facility time.
In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony may be held inside. If there is ample notice, we can set up rows of chairs inside with an aisle for the procession.
For our team to properly prepare for your day, we ask that you have your hair and makeup done offsite. Couples may arrive one hour and a half prior to the start of the ceremony, Additional time beyond this can be accommodated with additional fee. Guests may arrive up to 30 minutes prior to the start of your wedding. If you plan on doing a first look, please inform your guests to arrive 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start.
If life has you too busy or if you are still looking for some additional help, we also offer full Wedding Planning Services to help you put together a memorable event from beginning to end.
These guys are the ones who keep our venue looking beautiful and running like a well-oiled machine. With over 200 acres of woods and shy of 30 acres of lawn and fields, mowing itself can take 15-25 hours a week! Trust us, when you drive up the driveway, you’ll see why they put so much care into this alone. They are mostly behind the scenes, but their work does not go unnoticed.

Laurie Russell is an amazing homeschool mom of four on weekdays. On the weekends she shares her love of weddings with our lucky couples. Laurie had the joy of planning her oldest daughter’s wedding. When she is not busy teaching and coordinating weddings, she loves playing and teaching piano, singing and leading a band. In total honesty, Laurie still cries at the wedding no matter how many she has done! Her favorite part of coordinating is the first dance and parent dances.

When he is not in the kitchen, he loves taking long rides on his Harley, playing disc golf, and messing around with his dog (who, may we add, eats very well).
