What happens after the ceremony?
After the ceremony, the wedding party will be taking pictures in the outdoor area for approximately one hour. Guests can head straight to the reception hall, where the bar will be open immediately following the ceremony! appetizers will be provided at this time as well.

The venue has a spacious dirt parking lot that is free of charge within the venue, staff will be assisting with parking on arrival. The road leading to the venue is a winding and narrow road. The gate to the venue will be open upon arrival and be locked at the start of the ceremony to prevent disruption. The gate will open back up after the ceremony.
