Wow i did not think about lights in the trees! That's a great idea! I am estimating about 50-60 People. I am worried not that many chairs can fit out there! My grandmother suggested having chairs for immediate family and everyone else can stand since the ceremony doesn't last long and the reception is elsewhere.
Thank you Cristy! You are the second person to say that! I am glad you think so. I just wanted to make sure our wedding photos will look good at this location.
It's such a cute spot! I see someone already suggested lights, especially for the evening but other than maybe some flowers here and there, I wouldn't do much at all to it. It definitely doesn't need much.
Definitely string lights! Since the front of the building is pretty white, I would probably add some plants and/or flowers on the patio and along the roofline or around the upper windows. I think rustic wood chairs or benches for guests and an arch of some type on the porch would look great! You could also look for a cool chandelier or swing to hang from the tree. I've seen these available from lots of rental companies.
Yes, definitely flowers! I like the rustic chair ideas...i am thinking of having to 50-60 people..i am a little worried that this place will not have enough room for that many chairs. :/
I think it will fit. I toured 8 venues and I was honestly surprised at some pretty tiny rooms that they said would fit 150 people seated. I guess I wasn't very good at picturing chair spacing at first. I'm sure the venue can tell you from past events how many people will fit!

Make sure you have a seat for everyone, regardless of ceremony length. When one of my stepsisters got married some years back, her family friend officiant forgot to tell us to sit back down after the bride’s procession. Even though it was a short ceremony, it was no fun standing for that time. I’m quite certain you can make 50-60 chairs fit in that space. You can do 5-6 rows with 5 chairs on each side of the aisle. Won’t take up much room at all.
