The ceremony clearing

An open stretch of meadow facing the forest wall. Chairs go in the grass; the pines are the backdrop. Evening light comes in low from the west and turns everything gold.

The covered pavilion

This is the rain plan. A timber-frame pavilion, open on three sides, big enough for dinner and dancing for your full guest list. If the weather turns, nothing about your day has to.

The courtyard & fire pit

Between the willows, a string-lit courtyard with a fire pit at its center. Late-night s'mores, quiet conversations, the last dance after the dance.

The bunkhouse & buildings

A cedar bunk building at the forest's edge for getting ready, a weathered-wood barn, and a tucked-away serving hut in the trees. Rustic outside, practical inside.

Practical matters

The unromantic details, handled.

  • On-site parking in the lower meadow, steps from the pavilion.
  • Restroom facilities on site.
  • Power at the pavilion for your band, DJ, or caterer.
  • Firm ground and mowed paths — comfortable across the grass.
  • Music until 10 pm, out of respect for our neighbors.
  • Blissfully unplugged — cell service is thin, Wi-Fi where it counts.

See it in person.
