Our team combines expertise in art, design, and construction to maintain the barn's authenticity while providing a versatile setting for weddings and private gatherings. Situated on a 30-acre farm, we offer 5,000 sq. ft. of covered space accommodating up to 150 guests, complemented by breathtaking countryside views and abundant photo opportunities.As the only Registered Heritage Barn Venue in Nova Scotia since 2022, we prioritize preservation through proceeds from events.

We pride ourselves on personalized service, requiring appointments for venue consultations to ensure dedicated attention to each client's vision.
