modern reception hall
Where your celebration truly comes to life.
Imagine a menu of delicious food, heartfelt toasts, joyful moments of shared laughter, and memories of dancing the night away. Every detail of the modern reception hall supports the energy of the evening - whether you’re raising a glass, sharing a meal, or stealing a quiet moment together just the two of you.
You’ll love the dedicated stage for your bridal party and a sweetheart table just for the two of you. Enjoy an effortless evening with thoughtful features like a built-in bar, buffet and cake tables, and a spacious dance floor that invites guests to celebrate well into the evening with a lively band or your favorite DJ. With seating for up to 150 guests, climate control for year-round comfort, and ADA-compliant restrooms indoors and out, this is a space that makes everyone feel welcome.
outdoor covered patio
Share the golden-hour glow with those you love.
Our covered patio offers the best of both worlds: the openness of nature with the comfort of being protected from the elements. A stunning setting for an intimate outdoor ceremony or a cozy reception under the stars, the patio is designed to be beautiful rain or shine. You might even consider placing your buffet line out here to boost indoor space and facilitate a different event flow.
Whether guests are sipping cocktails under the terrace lights, lounging in the fully covered couch area, or soaking in the sunset over the wooded acres, the patio is a wonderful place to celebrate. The partially covered space keeps your evening flowing without worry, and without last minute changes due to weather. You and your guests will love the romantic lighting, views that shift with the seasons, and space to dance and mingle.
the bridal suite
Gather your girls & get ready!
Our bridal suite is a space intentionally designed for laughter, love, and the quiet magic of becoming a bride. Soft lighting, cozy seating, and thoughtful touches invite you and your closest people to relax, reflect, and savor the hours before “I do.”
Equipped with a private restroom, plush couches, and plenty of room to spread out, plus makeup stations with mirrors and lights that make getting ready effortless (and photo-worthy!).
When the last song fades and your guests have gone home, your day ends right here - with a queen bed and a quiet moment to take it all in, just the two of you. One night’s stay is included with your wedding, so you can soak in every last moment without having to rush away.
upper field
Where the evening winds down just right.
Tucked into the edge of the property, the upper field invites your guests to relax, connect, and play. Here, it’s all about unhurried joy. Our lawn games (including cornhole, washers, giant Jenga, and oversized beer pong) spark spontaneous laughter and lighthearted competition among friends and family.
As the sky turns from gold to deep blue, gather around the firepit while the quiet hum of conversation and crackling flames carry into the night. Steal a moment away from the dance floor or close out the evening with s’mores and stories. The upper field offers a peaceful, playful kind of magic framed by 80 acres of open sky and woodland.
the lower field
What will be an idyllic ceremony space surrounded by nature.
Currently under construction, but here’s our vision…
There’s something timeless about saying “I do” surrounded by trees that feel like they’ve been standing witness for centuries. That’s why most of our couples choose to hold their ceremony here on the lower field under our signature half-moon arch.
As you walk the pathway from the covered patio to meet your partner at the altar, your wedding party following close behind, every step becomes a photo-worthy moment. This ceremony space is both stunning and accessible. The lawn is wheelchair-friendly, and your guests will be comfortably seated to take in the view, the vows, and the joy of it all.
