Our Family
Our Story
So this all started out when our dad, John, went to a wedding in a barn in the middle of no where and proclaimed “ I can build something like this”, and so he did. We really didn’t believe him at first, but we have come to learn that when dad says its going to happen, it is. We broke ground on our nearly 100 year old family land in the winter of 2022 and had our first wedding summer of 2024. Almost every aspect of this build was done by our dad and his metal craftsman along with some local businesses and Amish. This is a family run business and we have all helped and had input in this venue.
