Guests Of The Barn
If you are a guest of any upcoming wedding at the barn, we urge you to dress in appropriate and comfortable attire and shoes. Flat shoes are highly recommended as the floors are original from the 1940's so so have cracks, etc. The barn does have heat but in the event of an extremely cold and windy day, it can still be a bit chilly so bare legs and arms are not recommended. The barn DOES NOT have air conditioning. In the event of an extremely hot and humid day, dress comfortably as it can be warm.
