Setting

This 300-year-old barn, with its high ceilings, original North American Pitch Pine beams from 1693, and charming old brick walls, creates a timeless and versatile space. Inside, the venue is heated, and a canopy of fairy lights adds a soft, magical glow, perfect for setting the mood.

The field, with its aisle flanked by rows of Beech trees, offers a breathtaking setting for those seeking an open-air celebration.
