About Our Guest: 

The Farmstead acreage comprises a section of the 104-year-old Kubicek family farm, featuring a Bridal house, Grooms Quarters, and multiple venue options including the Farmstead Venue, the Wedding Tree, or the Corn Barn. The recently renovated Farmstead Venue seamlessly integrates modern elements with the natural charm of a working farm, accommodating up to 200 people. Its outdoor reception area and bar create a perfect setting for dancing beneath the night sky, with included venue tables and chairs for convenience.

The original homestead has been thoughtfully designed as a bridal suite, offering ample space with mirrors, makeup stations, dressing rooms, a lounge area, and a private patio and deck. The entire setup is tailored around the bride, bridesmaids, and family.

Separate from the Bridal home, the Groom’s Quarters provide an ideal space for the groom and groomsmen to prepare for the wedding. This area includes a dining table for lunch, a game room with a poker table, a full bathroom featuring a shower, and a dressing room equipped with a steamer and iron. Additional recreational activities such as cornhole and other yard games are also available. The Wedding Tree, set against the backdrop of Roberson Hill on the working farm, is truly awe-inspiring. A 300-foot walkway adorned with a beautiful arbor, bistro lights, and chairs makes the Wedding Tree site perfect for those seeking an enchanting outdoor wedding experience.
