Casual wedding attire is encouraged. Busy Barns is a wonderful pumpkin farm with many fun activities, so be prepared to walk through grass and gravel!
We are having a short ceremony that could be held outside or inside The Gathering Barn, depending on the weather. The Gathering Barn is a beautiful, heated barn at Busy Barns that is used only for weddings. Immediately following the ceremony, guests are encouraged to explore the rest of Busy Barns Adventure Farm or enjoy cocktail hour inside the barn. The reception will continue inside of the barn along with an outdoor fire pit for our guests to enjoy. The restrooms are not directly connected to the barn. We will have umbrellas and blankets available, just in case!
Yes! We have chosen a very family-friendly venue and we hope that kids will enjoy it.
We will be serving a full open bar all night (from the start of cocktail hour through the reception). There will be wine, beer, hard seltzers, and mixed drink options. Please utilize the shuttle bus going between Holiday Inn and The Gathering Barn, or another safe form of transportation.
We are having a buffet-style dinner that will include salad, sides, and three main entrees. There will also be some late-night pizzas :)
Yes, please let us know if you need any special food accommodations and we will notify our catering service. They do not mind at all.
If guests do not want to use the shuttle bus, there is a large parking area at The Gathering Barn. Once you enter the grounds, turn left to park in the grassy field. Overnight parking is permitted.
Since Busy Barns is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, we chose a Friday to ensure our guests have the best possible experience at our wedding. We hope you can make it so we can celebrate together!
