Please help! I have been searching non stop for what I want. I know it is out there. I just cannot find it!
What I want: I want a rustic, barn wedding. Mason jars and home cooked country food and bluegrass music. Ceremony outside under a tree. Reception in the barn.
No mandatory catering or stupid wedding packages. I seriously want a barn (Party ready) and a tree. Country side and no sound of traffic.
Budget: $5,000.
I have also looked at barns further out in Kentucky, Lodges here in Cincinnati, a few rustic downtown buildings and a few Vinyards.
But, either they don't allow you to use your own catering or have some crazy wedding package.
I have checked out:
-Niederman Family Farm (No outdoor tree, improper kitched facility, confusing for guests to find, owner lives right on property. He is awesome but it is still awkard.)
-Mulhauser Barn- No outside area and has this weird church feel. You can see the highway. Just strange.
-Polen Farm- Too expensive and I believe you had to use their catering.
-Parky's Barn- You have to use their catering.
-Lakeside Lodge- Lodge is too small but love it. And they allow your own catering.
-Pattison Lodge- You can hear traffic and I loathe gazebos. I love love love the inside of lodge but the outside is ...no.
Krippendorf Lodge- Wayyyy too expensive. You have to use their ridiculous catering.
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park Pyramid Lodge- Beautiful! But too confusing to find and slightly expensive.
-The Centennial Barn- No.
Falon Vinyard- The reviews says it all.
-Vinkolet Vinyards- Wayyyy too expensive.
And about twenty other places.
If anyone knows of a barn, on country side, don't forget the tree, somewhere in Cincinnati or Nourthrn Kentucky area, that allows any catering, please let me know. Prices and info are greatly appreciated.
Thank you soooo much, in advance!!!
