Question

What should we expect?What should we expect?

Answer

Highland Barn is a working farm with Highland cows and many other farm animals. The venue itself is a two story building with the ceremony on the second floor and the reception on the first level. There is a set of stairs leading to the second floor with the handrail. While there is no bathroom in the barn itself, there will be very comfortable bathroom facilities in a trailer steps from the venue. This will be an indoor and outdoor event with weather permitting. Since we do not take ourselves very seriously, expect an easy-going and casual event. Expect to hear a lot of Taylor Swift songs as she is the bride‘s favorite artist. Expect to hear a lot of bad and loud singing. Our ultimate goal is to have a drama-free and memorable wedding event. We are hoping to include our small dog in the ceremony and reception but are open to leaving him at home if anyone is allergic. He is friendly but just a little shy, especially around small children.

Question

Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress is business casual but nothing too formal. Suit and tie is not necessary but also no jeans or shorts. I do not recommend high heels or clothing that is floor length due to the gravel walkway. The bridal party will be comfortably wearing cowboy boots and you are welcome to do the same.
