The Pump House

Established in 1876, our fully-restored modern solar-powered event space was once a historic oil pumping station. Our first Brick Barn has eight-foot windows filling the space with natural light, soaring ceiling heights, bolted steel beams, and vast open space to accommodate 170 of your family and friends. The Studio Hall is a lovely space adorned with owner Doug’s artwork and eclectic style with tall ceilings and windows for views into the garden, perfect for receptions like micro weddings, and showers, accommodating 75 guests. People can also hang out on our open patio and enjoy its creekside fire pit. The ceremony area is just a short walk to a chapel in the woods, with astounding beautiful creek views that make for the perfect spiritual retreat or an intimate gathering in nature.

Our Dream Wedding

As a wedding photographer, finding the wedding venue of our dreams was a huge feat, because even after six years of photographing venues I still hadn't felt like I found "the one". My husband and I were engaged during the pandemic and spent summer 2020 touring wedding venues. I had heard of pumphouse through a friend who had photographed a wedding there, and when we first toured it, we knew. It had everything we were looking for: so much beautiful nature, artwork, industrial vibes for reception, room for our families to stay. Our wedding weekend was truly perfect thanks to Pumphouse and we couldn't be more thankful. We hosted our rehearsal dinner through post-wedding brunch there and our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and unique the venue was (and how good breakfast was!)

Whimsical & Flexible - 5 out of 5 stars :)

Wow. We cannot say enough good things about the Pump House B&B. They were incredibly flexible throughout our wedding planning process, and Lisa and Doug truly felt like family by the end of our celebration. The grounds are beyond stunning - from serene creeks to beautiful trees + chickens and cats and rooms/halls decked out in Doug's original artwork, the physical surroundings truly transported both us and the guests to a woodland, art-filled paradise. They worked wonderfully with the set of vendors we hired, and even were flexible enough to accommodate a kosher caterer. It was also the perfect setting to get together with family the night before our wedding. Thank you to the Pump House!

This is one of the most beautiful and unique settings I've ever been to. And the owners are kind, helpful and professional. If you want a rustic, beautiful and tasteful setting for your wedding I can't recommend it too highly!

Pump House is an amazing venue and one of our favorite's to photograph weddings at! Doug & Marika are the sweetest owners and ensure everything is all in place for your special day! There are so many unique touches to each of the spots around the venue and you can tell much time & thought was put into it! My personal favorite is when the couple gets to dance the night away under the twinkling lights in the brick barn! Or when the ceremony is in the woods and you can hear the babbling creek in the background! So excited to be photographing more weddings there soon! :)
