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.
Two new hotels are currently under construction in Bradford, with plans for completion in either 2025 or 2026. When these hotels are available to book, we will add them here!
To ensure a seamless celebration at the barn 1906, a Special Occasion Permit for alcohol is required.
Kindly submit this permit to weddingdocuments@thebarn1906.com no later than 14 days before your wedding day.
At the barn 1906, you are required to arrange for a wedding restroom trailer for your event. Though not required, we highly recommend Chantler's Environmental Services as they offer a selection of luxury, refined and tasteful restroom rental options.
Please note you do not have to rent an accessible washroom, as the bridal suite bathroom is wheelchair-accessible.
To ensure your event is fully protected, a Special Events PAL Insurance policy, with a minimum liability of five (5) million dollars, must be purchased in your name. Laura Van Luyk must be listed as the Additional Insured. You may apply for PAL's Weddinguard up to one year in advance.
Kindly email the policy to weddingdocuments@thebarn1906.com no later than 14 days before your wedding date.
We’re excited to share with you a timeline that we’ve found to be ideal for wedding days at our venue!
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!
We’ve put together examples of reception layouts, along with maps of the main barn & property! The layouts are completely optional and can be adjusted to fit your vision. If you have any questions, simply reach out!
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!
