What items are available to use for the ceremony?(All at no additional cost)
What is the bar policy?
You are automatically booked with Craft Event Bar Collective when you book your date at Canyon Run Ranch. We require that you use their services, even if no alcohol is involved. They provide excellent hand-crafted batch cocktails and professional, friendly service. They will be in contact with you several months prior to your wedding.
What about china and other rentals?
There are many amazing items that you can rent to make your wedding special. Most caterers provide china, but some use a rental service. You might also want to rent a sofa and chairs to create a lounge area for your guests. If you wish to rent items from outside vendors, please let me know what is coming. Items can be delivered Thursday between noon and 5:00. If you have a Friday wedding, be certain that these items are picked up Saturday before 9:00 a.m. and out of the way for Saturday's wedding. We charge $50 for rental delivery and pickup outside of your wedding day. There is no charge if the rental is delivered and picked up on your day.
Are there any restrictions that we need to be aware of? What about your Sustainable Practices?
Two big restrictions are no open flames in or around the barn, no balloons, and no glitter or confetti anywhere. We don't want anything that harms the land or buildings. We strongly discourage single-use plastics and prefer compostable paper products or plates made from palm, or other plant-based materials. If your caterer doesn't offer that option, you can find these on Amazon, Costco, even Sam's Club. We installed a UV water purification system and Craft Event Bar provides cool, clean water to eliminate the need for bottled water.
The entire property is powered by a 42 panel Solar array on the backside of the roof of the horse barn. We are proud to be off-grid and 100% green. Please give your choices consideration - choose kegs over cans and bottles, for example. We want to reduce wedding waste without sacrificing comfort, beauty or enjoyment. Don't hesitate to bounce your ideas off of me.
Do we need a wedding planner/coordinator?
Yes! We act as a venue coordinator and happily assist you prior to your day with vendor recommendations and advice. We like to have a consultation 6 - 4 weeks prior to your wedding to review your plans and discuss the logistics of your wedding. We like to include any vendor that wishes to see the venue during that time as well.
We are here the day of, to oversee your wedding and greet your guests upon arrival, direct parking, and show your guests the way to the ceremony site. If you hire vendors who are familiar with us, that is very helpful in making the day go smoothly. However, there are dozens of details involved that makes a wedding planner invaluable.
An experienced event planner takes the worry and stress away from your day. We work with Sara and her staff at Craft Event Bar Collective.
I have witnessed the father-of-the-bride loading leftover food into the coolers in the back of his truck while the emcee was announcing the start of the Father-Daughter Dance. I've seen the groom wringing his hands and fielding phone calls because the pickup times for the hotel shuttle weren't made known to the guests. Caterers have called hours before the food delivery to ask about the menu. I've seen a bride exhausted at her wedding because she oversaw and helped with all the setup. None of that will happen with a qualified coordinator.
We prefer experienced wedding planners who are familiar with our property and policies. . Choose a coordinator who genuinely enjoys what they do and is willing to do whatever it takes to make your day stress-free and fun. Craft Events is our preferred coordinating service. They know the ranch and will be happy to handle all the details and help to clean up at the end of the night so that you can savor the day.
Can we decorate the arbor?
The willow arbor is sturdy, but comprised of large and small branches that can easily be broken. Heavy floral sprays will break the finer branches that give the structure its magic. Therefore, we cannot allow heavy floral sprays. Please secure florals carefully. Pipe cleaners or careful use of zip ties is acceptible - no wires please. You can decorate the arbor with flowers and leaf stems by sticking the stems into the structure. Be sure to keep any decorations lightweight and remove them before dark, or leave them to us to remove, so that no branches are broken. The inside dimensions are approximately 6-1/2' x 6-1/2'.
Do you provide an aisle runner in the woods?
We do provide an aisle runner for a fee of $50. installed. The aisle is six feet wide and about 26 yards long.
Do you have electric power in the woods?
There is no power in the woods. Craft Event Collective has a battery powered speaker system. If you need electric, we recommend a battery powered generator. The noise of a gas-powered generator spoils the peaceful nature of the woods and is strongly discouraged.
How many guests can fit into the Milk Parlor?
The Milk Parlor is intended for mingling and cannot seat 150 people. There is enough seating for 80+, but most guests will want to mingle during the cocktail hour and utilize the outdoor space adjacent to the Milk Parlor.
The farm table is about 20' long.
There are 5 bistro tables that are usually setup outside under the bistro lights.
There are 4 small metal tables in the Milk Parlor. If you need a table for your ceremony, you can use one of these.
The old red farm trough (about 30" x 70") is a great spot to serve appetizers and the satellite bar is normally setup in the opposite corner of the Milk Parlor to encourage guest interaction.
Can we do a photo booth?
Olive is a restored little 1978 egg-shaped camper who loves to entertain guests as a photo booth. She is fantastic, and has been very popular. She can provide unlimited prints and digital downloads. Various backgrounds and props are available to fit your wedding style. Price for 2-1/2 hours with attendant will be $650.00.
If you wish to bring in another photo booth, we charge a $100.00 fee.
Can you set up the tables and chairs per our seating chart?
Yes, we can. We will provide your floor plan following the final consultation, get your approval, and the tables and chairs will be arranged accordingly. Here are just a few samples.
- The corkscrew willow arbor is a permanent fixture in the woods
- There are ten rows of solid ash wood benches to seat 150 guests
- There is large stone that is flat on top that can be used for flowers or programs
- There is tree stump that can also be used for flowers or programs
- There are a pair of gold metal candelabras in the barn that could be used for the ceremony
- There is a bench in the woods for musicians. If they need individual chairs, the metal chairs from the Milk Parlor could be used. If you let us know, we can arrange to have these set up in the woods for you.
- There is no electricity in the woods, but the acoustics are very good and amplification isn't necessary. Craft Events can provide battery powered speakers and wireless mics - extra charge for this service.
