Ceremony FAQ’s
-
Our approach is one that involves talking through all of the ‘what ifs’ - this includes a rain plan! While our goal is to execute your original plan, sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas and we are ready for her. Most of our floor plans leave an empty space in the middle of the barn for the dance floor. Generally, should we need to move the ceremony inside, we create an aisle with chairs for your closest guests right on the dance floor. Your arbor is brought in also. If there is rain in the forecast, we are sure to check-in on this topic often so we are all prepared as best we can be.
