Pinckney is located approx. 20 minutes from the closest local metropolitan area (Ann Arbor or Brighton). Pinckney is quite rural, but we have many lakes, parks, and walking/biking trails.
Children under the age of two and those traveling with parents from out of state are welcome to attend. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about children attending.
The wedding will be on the grounds of the Schell Family Farm. The event barn is located 1/2 from our home at 1313 Darwin Road, Pinckney, MI 48169 (it's the big red barn that can be seen from Darwin road). Please park in the large dirt lot just east of the barn and follow the signs. They have beautiful acreage you can explore which include 7 acres of sunflowers, 3 acres of wildflowers, a small pond (where we hope to have the ceremony, weather permitting), a haunted forest attraction, and small Fall market.

Yes. There is a very large lot that is just east of the event barn that will accommodate all of our guests vehicles.
If you have friends or family on Colony, Wynns, or Kennedy, that can accommodate parking your boat, we are working with the farm to arrange a small shuttle that will run from the corner of Colony Rd and Darwin, to the event Barn. If you plan to take the shuttle, please let us know so we can ensure they are adequately staffed to make the appropriate shuttle runs.
The event barn is fully heated and there will be a bon-fire to warm up by in the evening. We will have an alternative ceremony site in case of rain.
