We had our wedding here in May of 2013. We wanted a casual, non traditional wedding that wasn't going to require us to take out a loan. The barn was everything we needed it to be and more. I am originally from Chicago and my husband from Detroit but we both live in L.A. now. Michael was more than accommodating to us when we were in town and needed to meet with him to go over everything. He always took time out to sit down with us make sure we got our needs met. We had both our ceremony and reception here. We had some specific requests in terms of table placement and decorating things and Michael made sure he had it all taken care of. \r

It is a barn and we let our guests know we were having a barn wedding. Telling them all to dress casual and not to wear heals. Everyone drank out of mason jars the whole night. We were very DIY, to save even more money, so all decorating was on us but Michael had some staff around while setting up to help put it all together. \r

We did bring in our own DJ and our own cupcakes (instead of a cake) but the barn did the catering and the food was incredible! It was served buffet style and the DJ called out table numbers to get everyone up and to the food table. The wait staff and bartenders were great and always seemed to milling about in case we needed something. Michael was also there the night of and consistently checked in with me or my husband to make sure we were having a great time. \r

We had an arrangement with a hotel nearby that ran a shuttle to and from the venue so parking wasn't really an issue for us. However, there were attendants there in case we did have people driving in. \r

We have so many amazing pictures that we took around the grounds with family, friends and the bridal party. We jumped into the goat pen and took pictures with the goats, took pictures in the little outhouse, near the horses. \r

This venue might not be for everyone but if you want a non stuffy, non traditional wedding this is a great place for it and you won't break your back trying to pay for it! If you'd like to see pictures of anything let me know! I can send them along. \r

Hope this helps in finding your perfect wedding venue!\r
