We our continuing to expand our open-aired celebration areas. We’ve built an indoor/outdoor chapel. It is a romantic, quixotic sanctuary with ancient looking gothic cast iron windows and is partially open to the outdoors. Wedding guests can watch the ceremony from homemade benches built from refurbished antique wood salvaged from an historic old mansion being torn down at a nearby farm. A copper clad cross sits at the roof line sanctifying the chapel and all those within it. Continuing the open-aired celebration area is the outdoor dance hall. It is a saloon-themed structure with vintage hanging lights, and lighted signs giving it a true feeling of an old fashioned dance hall perfect for dancing the night away with family and friends. Next to the dance hall is fashioned an outdoor covered bar for drinks and refreshments topping off the setting for a perfect evening.
