Wedding Weekend

Our wedding weekend is taking place on the August long weekend so we thought we would turn it into a two day celebration! The wedding will take place on Saturday July 31st, 2027. The following day we would love to have everyone back at the farm for a day of celebrating, games, hangs and a performance from Eric and his band, as well as anyone else that would like to perform!
