Me and my now husband just had our wedding at the Hitching Post, and when i tell you it was the most absolutly stunning day of my life, i mean it. The venue was perfect and even on a 85° sunny day it was kept cool with the large barn doors and ...
beautiful high ceilings. My guests raved about how beautiful the barn was and how attentive the owners were to our every need. There's even a hidden poker room behind the bar that makes for the BEST grooms pictures as well as so much natural wood and beautiful trees!
