At The Old Barns at Dry Run Farms, we believe that your wedding weekend should be a time for relaxation, celebration, and connection with loved ones, without the rush and stress that often accompanies the big day. With our Deluxe Weekend Package, you get exclusive access to our private, serene country setting from Thursday through Sunday, allowing you and your guests to enjoy an unforgettable experience. Here’s a look at what your dream wedding weekend timeline could look like when you book with us.

Thursday Evening: Arrive and Unwind
Your wedding weekend begins with a peaceful arrival at our stunning farm, where you’ll settle into the two converted old barns on the property. Each barn is designed to accommodate up to ten guests, with three nights of stay included in the Deluxe Weekend Package.




Take a deep breath and start your getaway with some much-needed relaxation. Spend the evening unwinding with your closest friends and family. Pet our friendly Belted Galloway cattle, gather around the firepit, or take a peaceful walk along the creek that runs through the property. If you're visiting in the summer, why not take a dip in the inground pool at The Carpenter Barn to cool off and kick off your wedding weekend in style? This is your time to embrace the calm of the countryside and make memories before the big day.




Friday: Rehearsal, Rehearsal Dinner, and Decoration
On Friday, your wedding weekend truly begins to take shape. You’ll have full access to the venue from 9 AM to 8 PM, providing ample time for decorating the rustic yet elegant barn venue to your liking. Whether you’ve chosen a theme that highlights the barn’s natural beauty or you’re going for something more modern, our venue is the perfect canvas for your creativity.
Later in the day, you’ll have the opportunity to host your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, surrounded by those who matter most. Take the time to enjoy this intimate moment with your wedding party, family, and friends. With the venue as your backdrop, you can enjoy a relaxed rehearsal dinner without worrying about rushing to another location. This gives everyone the chance to feel at ease and enjoy the start of the weekend’s festivities.
As you wrap up the night, the property is yours to enjoy, allowing for any last-minute touches or simply time spent bonding with your loved ones before the wedding day. You’ll also have plenty of time to unwind in the two barns, each equipped with all the amenities you need to feel at home.




Saturday: The Big Day!
The day you’ve been waiting for is finally here, and you’ll be waking up on the farm, surrounded by the beauty and serenity of nature. Saturday is dedicated entirely to your wedding day, with access to the venue from 9 AM to 11 PM. The excitement starts early, and we provide both a Bridal Suite and Groom's Room where you and your wedding party can begin preparing for the big moment.



At The Old Barns at Dry Run Farms, we offer you the flexibility to exchange vows in some truly picturesque locations. If you’ve always dreamt of a romantic outdoor ceremony, you can say “I do” on our sandstone terrace, which is nestled in a gorgeous natural setting.


Should the weather not cooperate, we have a stunning indoor backup plan. The stamped concrete dance floor, set in front of our towering fireplace, offers a cozy yet dramatic setting to exchange your vows inside, ensuring that you and your guests remain comfortable no matter what the weather brings.

After the ceremony, guests can mingle and enjoy cocktail hour while wandering around the venue’s beautiful porch and patio areas. For those who love animals, they can visit our Belted Galloway cattle, adding a fun and unique touch to your wedding day experience.



As the evening unfolds, you and your guests will enjoy a delicious dinner and dancing in our climate-controlled space, ensuring comfort throughout the night, regardless of the season. With plenty of space for dining and dancing, everyone can feel at ease and truly enjoy the celebration. The combination of rustic elegance and modern comforts makes our barn venue the perfect spot to create lifelong memories.


Sunday: A Relaxed Farewell
After an unforgettable wedding day, Sunday morning arrives, and you’ll wake up as the newest Mr. & Mrs.! There’s no need to rush, as you and your guests can enjoy a leisurely morning together before it’s time to pack up and head home. You’ll have access to the venue and overnight barns until noon, which gives you ample time to pick up any items from the night before, rather than worrying about rushing everything out on your wedding night.
This extra time is a great opportunity for a final round of goodbyes with your loved ones, or for a relaxed breakfast or brunch on the property. You can reminisce about the wonderful moments shared over the past few days, reflecting on the ceremony, the reception, and the beautiful memories you’ve made together.
