What Are You Getting Us Into!?
Once you arrive at The Mulberry at Old Trade Farm, drive up the gravel drive. There is a small gravel area at the end of that drive where some people can park. The rest of the parking will be in the grass to the right of the gravel drive. We have reserved the Venue for a total of 6 hours.
The Ceremony (weather permitting) will be held in the grass field next to the Venue building and will most likely conclude in less than 30 minutes. While we hope we do not need it there is a backup plan for rain.
Following the Ceremony, refreshments will be served cocktail style. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available and Guests can mingle for a little while. During this time, the Bride and Groom will be doing pictures.
The Reception will be catered buffet style with an open bar inside the red building and will use the remaining (4-5 hours) time. There is no assigned seating so feel free to sit or stand as you would like.
The open bar will consist of several beers, ciders, and wines supplied by Old Trade Brewery/Cidery. This should go without saying, but please drink responsibly.
Also, no Guest should feel they need to stay after the Ceremony's conclusion and no Guest should feel they must stay until the official end of the Reception. If you need or want to head out early feel free to do so.
The general timeline will be something like the following:
- Guest Arrival Time: 2:00pm (please, no earlier)
- Ceremony Start Time: 2:30pm
- Guest Cocktail Start Time: 3:00pm
- Reception Start Time: 3:30pm
