Every effort is made for you to decorate your event as suited to your vision. Because the barn is an antique family heirloom, we do not allow nails, staples, or glue. Lights and other approved décor can be hung using zip ties. We do not allow glitter, confetti, rice, or fake flower petals anywhere on the property. Candles can be used with a glass cover and must be at least 10 feet from barn, trellises, and deck. Electric or battery-powered candles can be used anywhere on the property. We ask that you give us a full decoration plan prior to the event. For an additional fee, you may also add a sparkler send-off or bonfire.

No. As a licensed facility, Kentucky state law prohibits you from bringing your own alcohol—just like you can’t bring your own drinks to a restaurant. We do however provide you with bartending staff and a wide variety of bar options, including beer, wine, and mixed drinks, at a cash or open bar for your event. Violations of Kentucky state law on our property, including underage drinking and BYOB, will result in forfeiture of deposit and is grounds for early dismissal of your event.
