Our venue is a little tricky to find so please watch the video provided in the link below before you attend. There will be well placed directional markers to help you find on the day of and people to help you find parking. <a href="https://thebarnatoldcolony.com/directions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thebarnatoldcolony.com/directions/</a>

The phone service is spotty and nearly nonexistent so be prepared for that.

Our venue is a retired dairy farm and has some uneven ground so be careful while wearing high heels.

We really want everyone to have a fun night off at our wedding, including parents, so we're asking that children not be in attendance. If this would impede your ability to come then please bring them along and/or contact Brandee for other options. Be aware that there is a canal right next to the venue that makes Brandee very nervous!!
