Multiple Stunning Ceremony Backdrops

Bliss Barn offers multiple ceremony options, so you can find the perfect setting for your vows. Choose from The English Garden, The Lawn, The Grove or inside the barn.

  • The English Garden- Located to the back of Bliss Barn you’ll find The English Garden. This first ceremony site offers a grand entrance from the double barn doors to the aisle way. The surrounding greenery and symmetry of the garden beds adds an elegant touch to your ceremony. At the end of the aisle you’ll find the white pergola that can be dressed with drapery, florals or left as is. 300 chairs can be easily arranged in this area.

  • The Lawn- Located to the side of Bliss Barn you’ll find The Lawn. The lawn offers a longer walkway with a lush green backdrop and abundant pink roses for a pop of color. You can still opt for a dramatic entrance out of the barn doors. At the end of the aisle way you’ll meet your partner under the natural wood pergola. Add additional flowers or drapery to fit your style.

  • The Grove- The Grove is a short walk to the woods at the edge of our property. Depending on the season, the lush greenery or the changing fall colors adds a beautiful natural backdrop to your ceremony. You will enter the ceremony aisle way through wooden barn doors and will meet your partner in front of the wooden cross, under the floral arch or just surrounded by natural beauty. Pro tip: Ask a someone to drive you down to ceremony doors or we are always happy to help drive you.

  • The Barn- Typically used in the case of inclement weather your ceremony can be moved to inside Bliss Barn. With the elegant chandeliers, overhead twinkling lights and surrounding loved ones, your ceremony will be one for everyone to remember.

Whatever your preference, Bliss Barn ensures a romantic, picture-perfect backdrop to your wedding photos. You don’t have to walk far to find a corner on our property providing stunning backdrop.
