If using Apple Maps please type in “The Barn at Jewel Farms” and hit go! It will take you straight there. Do not use the actual address or it will lead you to the wrong part of the property. If you see a big sign that says “Welcome to Jewel Lake Farms” you’re at the right place!

Unfortunately, no. We quickly reached our maximum amount of guests that can be accommodated at the venue so we had to keep kids to wedding party only. We invite you to come celebrate a kid-free night out!

Due to being 100% maxed out already for number of guests, we truly only have room for the name(s) printed on your invitation.

If you have previously RSVP'd yes and have found out you are now unable to attend our wedding, we ask that you please let us know. Even if it is wedding day at 3:59pm, please shoot us a text. We will see it later on and be grateful you told us! Based on seating chart arrangements, we will know if anyone is missing and we plan to reach out after the wedding to make sure that any guests who RSVP'd yes, but did not show up are ok!

If you were originally unable to attend, but you realize you now are able to, politely reach out and let us know ASAP. If we have the space available, we will let you know if you are able to be added back on to the list. However, please keep in mind we may not be able to accommodate you anymore depending on a variety of variables. Each guest attending will have an assigned seat, therefore there will not be a seat for anyone that we do not know is attending. Thank you for understanding!

The dress code for our wedding is Black Tie Optional (Formal). We suggest that men wear a dark colored suit & tie or a tuxedo and women wear an evening gown, fancy cocktail dress, or dressy seperates. No Jeans, Shorts or T-Shirts.

Yes! Parking is available as you drive straight in, to the back in the parking lot to the left. Drop off is available at the white barn in the front immediately to the right as you drive in. No parking will be permitted in front of the barn or ceremony space.

Our 30 minute ceremony will take place outside weather permitting followed by cocktail hour, however our reception will be held indoors in an air conditioned barn.

We do not have rooms blocked due to lack of interest from others, however on our Hotel page we listed a handful of hotels within a 10-20 minute drive from the venue!

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00PM. Please plan to arrive no later than 3:45PM.

We understand things happen, so if you realize you will be late and will not be arriving before 4PM, we ask that you please wait to pull in until 4:30PM when our ceremony is over. The front gates will be closed during the ceremony.

Not Needed! Our bar is open-bar style which includes a selection of beer, wine & our 3 signature drinks. The bar will be open from 4:30PM-9:30PM. All costs are covered, however if you would like to leave our bartenders a tip, they will have a jar for cash as well as a sign with their Venmo/CashApp.

For any questions you may have on the day of our wedding, please refrain from reaching out to us directly, as we may not even see it, and reach out to Jessi Awalt (Vanessa's MOH) at 813-313-6671.

Vanessa's mom is graciously hosting the post-wedding brunch the morning after the wedding for anyone who wants to continue the celebration with us, visit and get some food and drink before their travel back home! However, all are invited, regardless of if you traveled near or far! Details on where and when are posted on the home page.
