Weddings
and Reception- Use of Events
Barn
|
Included with
Wedding Package |
This includes use of our existing
tables (including white, tan,
red/white checks, autumn colors or
other linens we may have),
chairs and sofas, so you won't have
to worry about paying for chair
rentals, which can often be quite
costly by itself. We have a
collection of tables and chairs that
make your guests comfortable!
Since many of these are recycled
(including some from an old diner in
town!)
there isn't strict uniformity, but
the tablecloths tie the casual but chic
look together nicely. The barn
can seat 175-225, and with
extensions into the patio and
garden, there is a range of inside
and outside seating.
Includes initial setup (tables and
chairs).
Generally, clients can begin
decorating at 9AM the day of the
event. Sometimes we are able
to allow early decorating the day
before an event, but this is not
guaranteed. Events must end by
midnight.
(See FREE website note below). |

Use of Events
Barn for Small Gatherings |
|
For small
meetings, parties and other gatherings, we can offer
packages and will
discuss this individually with
client, based on needs. |

Table Linens |
Included with
Wedding Package
|
|
Table linens are an important
addition for the tables. We provide
white linens, tan linens,
jewel-colored fall linens or our
featured fabric red check table
linens for all tables. WE
also have limited numbers in other
colors. We have colored 24"
squares of many colors that can be
used under tablepieces for an extra
splash of color. Please note we provide the
tablecloths only. If you would
like to use cloth napkins, please
plan to rent them directly or
through your caterer. This is
a nice way to add your own personal
color theme. |
|
 |
For the fall (or any time of the
year), we have a wonderful
collection of gold and other earth
tone cloths.
If you need a different color for
your event, we will work with you to
meet your needs at the most
reasonable price possible.
With the large number of tables
available,
this will vary depending on the
number needed. Or, we suggest you
consider adding color with your
table decorations. A round
place mat in your color choice makes
a great way to add color. Just
top with your candles or flowers and
it will look great! |

Caterer use of Prep
Kitchen |
Included with
Wedding |
|
This includes use of
refrigerators, freezer, stove,
utensils, serving dishes and appliances, and prep
areas. The day of the
wedding/reception, beginning two hours before the
event, is included with Wedding
Package. We also have a cool
room for alcohol, flowers or food
that can be kept at 40 degree range. |

|
Catered Meals |
|
For now, we are not offering
catering, but do have a list of
folks who can do a great job!
Pricing will depend upon what you
would like. That could range
from simple snacks to scrumptious
decadent desserts to complete
sit-down meals. It could be a
country barbeque or a full
course gourmet meal featuring award
winning goat cheeses! See our
resources
page for some suggested
caterers.
We will provide the dinnerware
(plates, glasses, utensils) for
$2.50 per person (75place settings
are now included with our wedding
package). We think the use
of "real" plates and glasses is
actually practical and
environmentally preferable (and
easier for guests in general), but
if you want a "picnic style" with
disposable paper products (and
plastic tableware), we will
provide based on your specific
requests. We recommend compostable
and biodegradable products, and can
provide compostable appetizer or
dessert plates at cost.
The primary dinnerware will be a
variety of white plates, clear drink
glasses and flatware. The
designs will vary, but give a pretty
uniform look. If you
prefer a standard uniform look
instead of our eclectic and more
casual collection, we can provide
commercial rental setups.

Garden Areas |
Included with
Wedding Package |
|
|
|
 |
When our garden area is not part of
the event use, it is roped off and
not available for visitors.
Some events do not require use of
the garden facilities, so we offer
you the option and price this
separately This price
includes tables (and linens) and
seating areas, garden pavilion,
fountains, and walking tour areas
throughout the gardens and orchard.
The garden area can also be used
nicely for ceremonies. When
the gardens are used along with the
Events Barn, guests can move around
between the two locations and choose
seating areas. It also allows
for larger groups to have plenty of
space and protection from the
weather if needed.
At night time, the magic begins!
With candles all
around the garden, it is magical
indeed! It's the perfect
romantic touch that your guests will
remember for sure! |

Decorations |
Included with
Wedding Package |
At no additional charge, you may use
your choice of a wide variety of wall
hangings, candle
holders, lanterns and other
decorative items we have available.
Take a look through our photo
gallery pictures as many of our
decorations are used. We also
have a number of "canning jar"
style candles that can be hung
throughout the trees in our orchard,
for a nice "country chic" effect.
You would provide the "manpower" for
the decorating, or we can do it for
you if you like (we will discuss
your needs for this and provide
pricing).
We also have a variety of other
items such as an antique copper
kettle, galvanized tubs, wrought
iron stands and other bins that can be used for
kegs, bottles or canned drinks; grapevine
wreaths, additional decorative
lights and much more. Most are
available at no charge, however may
require payment of replacement costs
if damaged or destroyed.
Our clients tell us that the use of
our decorations is an outstanding
bonus that truly helps offset the rental of the facilities!
We do have a growing variety of
collectibles from around the
world as well as antiques from our
community. Some are whimsical
and some are classic.
We are happy to have you
leave any of your
recyclable decorations with us (such as glass
or other reusable items)
for use by future guests!

dreams' by one of our clients!) right behind the
Events Barn, facing the Blue Ridge
Mountains and the Shenandoah
National Park. It is an open area
that allows for setup of chairs to
accommodate large and small events,

settings are desired. We have
plastic tan and green lawn chairs

type of chair, we can provide a
