FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THE BARN HOLD?
Up to 350 (Inside the barn is 200 ) Attached covered deck seats 150 people.
CAN WE BRING OUR OWN FOOD?
YES! We do not make it mandatory to use caterers from our referral list.
Dealing with a full service caterer will make your life easier, as we do not have a kitchen that food can be prepped, cooked, sliced, diced , etc.
If you go through a company that simply delivers the food and only mans the buffet, you must think about the rest of the evening helping your guests as well as making it easier to cleanup for you at the end of the night. You need to consider servers to clear dishes, refill water glasses, clean tables, empty cans, etc. who typically stay long after dinner. Many times the amount of money you paid per person for meals that you had to pick up yourself or that just came in pans with no dishes, cloths, servers etc. is about the same price as the full service companies.
