The dress code for the ceremony and reception is formal. We suggest men wear a suit and women wear an evening gown, cocktail dress or a nice pantsuit. The bridesmaids will be wearing blue so no blue dresses, please. Please note that the ceremony (weather permitting) and cocktail hour will be outside. Feel free to bring comfortable shoes for the dance floor!
We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony and ask that all phones and cameras please be silenced and put away so we can all enjoy being in the moment. We have hired a photographer and videographer who will capture all special moments from the day. We will share the photos once we receive them.

Years ago, a man lived in a small cabin on the land with no electricity and made a quiet living farming. All the neighbors knew about the lone bull he kept on the property because of the bull’s propensity to escape his pen and wander to the neighbors’ homes to treat himself to the plants and flowers in their gardens. As the current owners were building The Barn, neighbors who remembered the “Old Man and the Bull” shared stories and photos of the traveling bull. The owners loved the idea of paying homage to the heritage of the land, and thus The Barn at Bull Meadow was born!
