Yes, we ensure a comfortable temperature year-round. The barn, bridal suite, groom’s room, and prep kitchen on the main floor are equipped with ceiling ducts for cooling, while radiant floor heating provides warmth.

We do not have a designated storage area for wedding gifts. However, if you’re holding your ceremony with us, the Bridal Suite and Groom Room—both secured with passcode-protected doors—are excellent options for storing gifts. If you're hosting only a reception and have concerns about leaving gifts unattended, you have the option to rent the Bridal Suite or Groom Room for this purpose at an additional cost. Alternatively, we recommend assigning a trusted family member or friend to periodically store gifts in their vehicle.

We do not have a license to prepare food on-site, so our kitchen is designed solely for the preparation and serving of pre-cooked meals. Most caterers cook food in their own kitchens and transport it in hotboxes to the venue for serving.

Our barn is equipped with separate restrooms for women and men. The women’s restroom features two toilets, while the men’s restroom includes one toilet and one urinal. Each guest restroom includes an ADA-compliant stall for those in need of accessible facilities.

Yes, our venue features an on-site Bridal Suite and Groom Room, both included in our Ceremony Package. If you’re hosting only a reception, you still have the option to rent one or both rooms for an additional cost.

We offer a spacious asphalt shavings lot with free parking for guests. For larger weddings, we strongly recommend carpooling or arranging a shuttle service.

Our outdoor spaces are not heated, but there are plenty of areas for guests to gather and socialize. The patio spans approximately 2,500 square feet, with a deck above that extends the entire length of the barn. For guests who smoke, designated receptacles are available for proper disposal.

Yes, to an extent. We host only one event per weekend, so you won’t have to worry about another event taking place at the same time as yours. However, please note that the barn is located on our residential property.

If you’ve purchased the ceremony package, it includes access to our on-site Bridal Suite and Groom Room for your wedding party to use while getting ready.

Unfortunately, we are not licensed or insured to provide food or beverage services. However, you are welcome to hire a caterer or bring your own food, such as a potluck-style meal. If alcohol is being served, a licensed bartender is required.

Owners Lindsay and Dale serve as day-of coordinators, ensuring your special day runs smoothly. They assist with vendor coordination and oversee restroom maintenance, making sure supplies like toilet paper and paper towels are well-stocked.

For an additional fee, we offer a decoration package as well as a variety of individual décor pieces available for rent.

We offer a variety of table sizes to accommodate your needs, as well as two types of chairs—one designated for outdoor ceremonies and another for indoor use during receptions and other events. Outdoor ceremony chairs: Indoor reception chairs:

We do not provide crockery or cutlery, as these are typically supplied by your caterer. However, we do offer dinner plate chargers and linens available for rent at an additional cost.

We do not provide live streaming services for events, but you are welcome to hire a vendor who specializes in wedding live streaming or designate a trusted family member or friend to handle it.

Events must conclude by 11 p.m. unless a midnight extension has been purchased. If hosting both a ceremony and reception, the event duration is limited to ten hours, while reception-only events are limited to eight hours. Setup and teardown time are not included in the event duration.

The patio is a fantastic option for cocktail hour, particularly for couples holding their ceremony by the pond. If you prefer an indoor setting or need to move cocktail hour inside due to inclement weather, cocktail tables can be easily set up indoors and removed or rearranged during or after dinner.

The most popular ceremony spot on-site is beside the pond, offering a picturesque setting with a fountain and a charming cluster of willow trees nearby. However, with nearly eight acres of property, we are happy to accommodate alternative locations to suit your vision.

About a month before your event, once you have a more clear guest count, The Bluebell Barn team will collaborate with you to create a layout that suits your needs. Our goal is to bring your vision to life on your special day. If you have a specific layout in mind, we’ll do our best to make it a reality.

Tables and chairs will be set up before your event according to the agreed-upon layout. Please consult with us before rearranging any furniture or other items within the venue.

Absolutely! Since the venue is on our residential property, we host only one event per week, allowing you the flexibility to decorate the day before and clean up the day after your event.

Decorations may be hung using nails or screws in wood posts with prior approval from us. If needed, we will provide the necessary nails or screws. Tacks and staples may also be used in wood only. The use of duct tape, electrical tape, transparent tape (e.g., shipping or packaging tape), or any type of glue is not permitted. The only approved adhesive materials for walls, floors, or wood pillars are masking tape, command hooks, stage/drafting/painter’s tape, and gaffer’s tape. All other decorations must be freestanding.

You have the entire day after your event to handle teardown and cleanup. We ask that the venue be returned to a similar condition as when you arrived, with all trash disposed of in the dumpster behind the prep kitchen.

Our venue is situated in a rural-residential zone and is not subject to a noise ordinance. However, out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that all amplified music be kept inside the barn after a certain time.

Buffets and food stations are allowed. Chafers using open-flame canned heat (e.g., Sterno) must be set up on the main floor of the barn.

Couples may host up to 200 guests at their event.

We do not have a minimum guest requirement. As a privately owned venue, we keep overhead costs low, allowing us the flexibility to accommodate weddings of all sizes. We believe every couple, regardless of their guest count, deserves a beautiful and memorable day.

Yes, we require couples to purchase special event insurance. A certificate of insurance with coverage for the event date must be provided to us no later than 30 days before the event. The policy must include a minimum of $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, with our LLC listed as an additional insured party.

To cancel a venue reservation, you must submit a written notice via email. The cancellation takes effect immediately upon receipt of the notice. If you decides to reschedule instead of canceling within 14 days of submitting the cancellation notice, you must send a written request to us via email. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the rescheduling request based on our rescheduling policy. By canceling, you understand that we lose the chance to book another event on that date. Therefore, we are entitled to a cancellation fee equal to the Venue Rental Fee to cover the estimated loss.

The event date may only be changed with our written approval. If approved, we will take reasonable steps to transfer your reservation to the new date. If the change is made more than 180 days before the original event date, all payments will be applied to the rescheduled date. If the change is made 180 days or less before the original event date, all deposits and payments will be forfeited. Before reserving the venue for the new date, the client must sign a new contract and if required, pay another deposit. Additionally, it is the couple’s responsibility to notify and coordinate with any vendors they have hired regarding the date change.

If the final guest count exceeds the initial estimate and surpasses the package limit agreed upon in the contract, we will charge the credit card on file to cover the cost of upgrading to the appropriate package based on that final guest count.

Confetti, rice, birdseed, artificial flower petals, potpourri, and glitter are not permitted for decoration or for tossing during a ceremony, grand exit, etc. If you're not sure about a specific item's use, feel free to contact us and ask.

Fireworks and sparklers are strictly prohibited on venue grounds unless explicitly approved by us. Any approved use must be followed by proper cleanup, ensuring no remnants are left on the property.

We accept cash, checks (payable to "The Blue Bell Farm, LLC"), and major credit cards. Credit card payments include a service fee no more than 4%, and returned checks incur a $50 fee. Please choose a payment method that fits your budget and preferences. We require a credit card on file for any incidentals, overdue payments, and late fees. If a payment remains unpaid for more than ten days past its due date, the client agrees to a late fee of 10% of the overdue amount.

We require a 50% deposit when booking an event to secure your date. You're more than welcome to pay the full amount upfront; however, please note that we do not offer any discount incentive for paying in full. The remaining payment is broken down into three installments: 25% of the total amount is due 180 days prior to your event, 15% is due 90 days before the event, and the final 10% is due 30 days prior to your special day. This structured payment schedule allows you to manage your budget more effectively while ensuring your booking is confirmed and all arrangements are smoothly coordinated.

Children are welcome at The Bluebell Barn; however, we strongly encourage parents to closely supervise them, as there are potential hazards on the property, such as a pond, creek, and farm equipment. The barn features three full sets of stairs, each equipped with cable railings that also extend around the second floor, overlooking the main floor.

Guests using a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aids can easily enter through the main entrance or rear patio via the concrete pad patio. All essential amenities are situated on the main floor for accessibility, and each guest restroom features an ADA-compliant stall for those who require it.

Unfortunately, the barn does not have an elevator, but all essential amenities are conveniently located on the main floor for easy access by disabled guests.

We understand that pets are family, which is why they are welcome to be part of your ceremony. However, we kindly ask that a trusted family member or friend take them home afterward for the remainder of the event. If needed, there are also pet care services you can hire that can assist with transporting your pet home.

Since we are in a rural area, taxis are not readily available on demand. However, you can arrange for a personal taxi service in advance. If you have a group of guests staying at a nearby hotel, some hotels may offer a shuttle service that can be scheduled. Alternatively, you can hire a private shuttle service for your guests' convenience.
