Capacity & Layout

Red Cedar Farm is laid out to keep the celebration flowing smoothly between its outdoor ceremony spaces and its air-conditioned barn. Just outside the barn, a lovely patio setting with string lights, a stamped-concrete aisle, and a beautiful scenic view of the field makes a picture-perfect ceremony spot, and in case of inclement weather, the ceremony can also be held inside the barn, giving a genuine weather backup. The air-conditioned barn anchors the reception with comfort in any season, and its neutral colors and detailed woodwork make it a versatile canvas for dinner and dancing. Adjacent picture spots and thoughtful landscaping give couples beautiful settings throughout the property. That combination of a scenic patio ceremony site and a comfortable, climate-controlled barn suits both intimate weddings and larger celebrations, keeping everyone together on one welcoming farm from the ceremony through the last dance.

Amenities

Red Cedar Farm comes well equipped with thoughtful, quality amenities that make the day easier. The venue provides handcrafted, locally made barnwood farm tables, 26 eight-foot tables in all, along with 208 Chiavari wedding chairs with elegant white cushions, so much of the reception furnishing is handled on-site and looks polished from the start. The air-conditioned barn keeps guests comfortable year-round, and touches like the string-lit patio, the stamped-concrete aisle, the impressive cedar-beam entrance, convenient parking, and detailed landscaping show real attention to detail throughout. The neutral barn and scenic field views give photographers a beautiful, flexible backdrop. For the entertainment, the enclosed, climate-controlled barn gives a wedding DJ solid walls and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays lively and the dance floor stays full within a warm, family-owned setting.
