The Atrium
The Barn
Open-air Chapel
Our primary outdoor ceremony location is a fully-open outdoor chapel sitting in a field surrounded by sweeping 360 degree views of the valleys and hillsides. The field itself has well-manicured grass and features decades-old stonewalls. The chapel features free-standing doors at the back of the aisle for dramatic processional entrances, several arbor options and custom-built wood benches that seat 154 guests. For guest counts up to 250, couples are welcome to use our white folding chairs for supplemental seating.
The chapel is a short tractor-pulled wagon ride away from the main venue structures, ensuring you and your guests feel swept away to a private, outdoor sanctuary.
Stone Arena Patio
This outdoor cocktail area includes two gas firepits and a permanent bar space to use for drinks or appetizer service. Tower heaters and firepit management included.
Hillside Patio
This outdoor cocktail area is right off the barn, allowing a seamless transition into receptions and indoor ceremonies. Open up the large glass doors in the Barn to use the Hillside Patio for additional dinner seating for weddings up to 250 guests in peak season. Or, have your ceremony on the patio facing the beautiful hillside and exposed stone walls. Tower heaters, string lights, wood-burning firepit and outdoor furniture included.
Something Blue Suite
This two-room suite is the perfect feminine oasis to set the mood for your big day. It features a private bathroom, getting-ready vanities, mini fridge and comfortable seating areas.
Heritage Loft
This rustic suite was designed with fun in mind! Featuring a pool table, shuffleboard table, bar, TV and sitting area, it’s a comfortable space to relax before “I Do.”
Outdoor Photo Locations
We have 185-acres of beautiful landscape to make your wedding photo dreams come true. “The Lane” features a slice of hillside between two original stone walls with beautiful tree-dappled lighting. “Pride Rock” is a dramatic boulder photo location nestled in a hay field surrounded by mountain-like evergreens on one side and picturesque fall trees on the other side. “The Birch Grove” is a small birch tree patch that looks like a page from a storybook in photos. There are also loads of hay fields, pastures, ponds, a Christmas tree patch and wildflower field that’s covered in seasonal blooms depending on the time of year!

What outdoor ceremony location options are there?
We have two outdoor ceremony location options: The Open-air Chapel and the Hillside Patio. See more details about these on the Gallery page!
Can we take photos around the estate on our wedding day?
Absolutely! We have several outdoor photo locations we’ve scoped out and maintained for easy access via 4×4 vehicle. Our staff is glad to transport you and your photographer and/or videographer to any of the locations you wish. For a glimpse at what these locations look like, check out photos from our styled shoots on Instagram and see them in person by booking a tour. The photo locations include a lane of hillside between two original stone walls with tree-dappled lighting, multiple hay fields and pastures, a dramatic boulder (that we lovingly call “Pride Rock”) surrounded by towering evergreens, a fairytale-like birch tree grove, a Christmas tree patch, several ponds, and a wildflower field that’s covered in seasonal blooms depending on the time of year.
Can we nail decoration to the walls or hang things like streamers, additional string lights, florals or lanterns from the beams?
We kindly request that no holes are left in the walls or beams when installing decor. But we’re happy to provide you with ideas on how to install your decor without nails!
Are candles, sparklers or fireworks allowed?
Flameless candles are the only candles permitted. The only open flames allowed are in the outdoor firepits and are managed by venue staff. Sparklers and fireworks are permitted in designated outdoor spaces.
Can vehicles be left overnight?
Any vehicles left overnight must be picked up by 10 am the following morning to ensure the event the next day has full use of the parking lot.
