Micro Weddings
Micro weddings at The Hayloft are small weddings with big details. They are weddings that offer all the thrills of a large wedding without the big wedding price tag. Beautifully crafted and flawlessly executed weddings for couples who want to focus on their union and leave the details to the professionals. Choose from a micro wedding that is perfectly stylized; all you have to do is show up or an elopement for just you and your significant other. The entire experience takes place outdoors. In the event of inclement weather, our indoor space, The Hayloft, is available.
About the Venue
Our event rental space is situated on a 40-acre horse ranch. The outdoor event space is called the play yard. It is a green grassy space that overlooks the rolling horse pastures and butterfly gardens.
The indoor space is a stunning, authentic, restored hayloft. The hayloft is not climate-controlled.
We have a wide variety of decor to make the space uniquely yours. And we have many activities for you to choose from to entertain your guests.
