The Goldfish Barn offers couples a weekend wedding experience. The four-bedroom farmhouse sleeps ten comfortably and is thoughtfully designed to provide couples with everything they need for their event. The groom has his room downstairs for him and his groomsman to get ready and relax.

You have the entire day to decorate the barn exactly how you want it. After the rehearsal, there is enough space to host your rehearsal dinner. Some choose a simple pizza party, while others have it catered. Afterward, could you hang with the wedding party around the fire ring?
After your event, you can come back Sunday morning and finish cleaning up for your convenience.
