Helpful TipS and Tricks

Here is a list of tips and tricks that we have found work wonders while planning a wedding. With our experience with over 100 weddings, we know a thing or two!

Tips and Tricks

WEDDING PLANNING CHECKLIST

We’ve created a wedding planning checklist that works wonderfully with our venue, starting at 12 months before your wedding day! The timeline is simply a suggestion to help guide you through the planning process in an organized way. If you're booking with us less than 12 months out, you can still use the same checklist—just adjust the pace to fit your unique timeline!

CHECKLIST

Transportation

 Ensuring responsible enjoyment is of the utmost importance to us. We serve with care, and our priority is that you make your way home safely. Below, you will find a selection of trusted companies in the area that our couples have fondly selected to assist in their journeys.

Switzer-Carty Buses
Bradford Town Taxi
Uber

If you're using a bus for transportation, please let the driver know they can access the venue through the delivery entrance, which is located before/west of the main entrance. They can drop guests off at the back gate and then turn around in the grass field. Ubers and taxis can use the main driveway to drop guests off near the house.

Ceremony Rain Plans

While they say rain is good luck on your wedding day, an outdoor ceremony means having a backup plan just in case! To ensure your day runs smoothly, we have two rain plan options for you to choose from ahead of time. You’ll let us know your preference in your questionnaire, so you won’t have to worry about making last-minute decisions on the big day. No matter the weather, we’re here to make sure your wedding is just as beautiful as you’ve envisioned!

Late Night snack

At the barn 1906 you are required to serve your guests a late night snack.


A late-night snack must be served around 10 PM. Since your guests will be enjoying drinks throughout the evening, offering food at this time is important!


You can coordinate this with your caterer or consider a popular option, like having pizza delivered. Many of our past couples highly recommend Reginos Pizza in Bradford — it's always a crowd-pleaser!

For pizza as a late-night snack, we recommend ordering one slice for 75% of your guests. This typically works well since some guests may have already headed home, and not everyone will want a slice. Plus, this approach often leaves a few leftovers!
