You can expect a full Catholic nuptial Mass at 1:00 pm at St. Mary Catholic Church in Wooster, Ohio. Attire is at your discretion - we are not fussy- but we would love it if the guys wore jackets and the ladies wore dresses. If you show up in jeans because that's all you have, we will be happy to have you join our celebration!
Reception follows at 3:00 pm in the main barn (see our cover photo for reference!) at Malabar Farm State Park in Lucas, Ohio, about a 30 minute drive from Wooster. The main barn is located next to the "Big House" by the visitor center. The capacity of the barn is 250 people and we hope to fill it!
Note: The main barn is a "working barn" wherein live animals will be on site to help us celebrate! Please come with a tolerance for the smell of nature :-)
There will be an open bar and hors d'oeuvres (aka horsey doovers) beginning at 4:00 to tide you over until dinner at 5:00 ish or whenever the bride and groom decide to get there.
Feel free to explore Malabar Farm State Park which is 900 acres of farm and forest located in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Plateau in Lucas, Ohio. Malabar Farm is the historic home of author and Pulitzer Prize winner Louis Bromfield and where Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were married. It is also one of the movie sites for the film "Shawshank Redemption"!
There will be live music after dinner by Tom's Kitchen Table!
