Team
Austin and I were married on this family farm long before we ever knew we would be in the wedding business. Years later, we had the idea to share the beauty of our farm with others through hosting weddings and special events. We realize that farm life is rare these days, and sharing the beauty of the landscape and happiness of the animals is is truly a special experience. We have enjoyed this small business to it's fullest, and have made customer service central to our mission. We can't thank our past families enough for being such a pleasure to work with!
