We take underage
drinking very seriously. Bartenders will be asked to check
ID to verify age. Minors attempting to drink alcohol will
not be tolerated.
Caterers/vendors
We recommend that any vendors such as caterers,
photographers, DJs, musicians or florists to be hired by
you, come to the barn and inspect our facilities to
eliminate any potential problems ahead of time.
