The reception barn may look like a barn- but it is not like most barns you have ever seen. The custom boutique barn was built specifically to tie into the estate and Victorian Era to honor heritage. Built with time period details of cast iron scrolling, stained glass lighting, reclaimed aged wood, and the elegance of several crystal chandeliers, including the one-of-a-kind custom-made chandelier to maintain the look and feel of an upscale venue. You will not be left feeling as if you were in a renovated barn or a modern metal building accessorized to appear like a barn. You and your guests will feel left in awe of the vaulted ceiling, and attention to the fine details giving a nod to a time long ago.
