The Backyard Venue can accommodate up to 120 seated guests. The barn is the most popular place for receptions and dancing with cooled or heated air, ceiling fans, and dimmable lights. The turf area make the white padded folding chairs pop and the sounds and view of the pond-less water fall make the ceremony serene and the pictures beautiful.
