Cocktail Hour & Artisan Acres Estate Wedding Reception in The Barn and Covered Patio
The Butt’s reception at The Barn and Covered Patio at Artisan Acres Estate was the perfect mix of rustic charm and refined elegance. Nestled in the woods, this space felt like a secret garden party come to life. Guests kicked off the evening sipping cocktails near the Le Petit Grain Dispensary Bar, tucked beneath the trees.
Inside the barn, long candlelit tables and gold accents created the dreamiest, most intimate dinner vibe. The warmth of the wood, the glow of the chandeliers, and the love in the room made every moment feel so romantic! I especially loved the exposed wood beams, brick flooring, and stained-glasses windows—so much character in one space! And once dinner wrapped up, the dance floor came alive. From heartfelt toasts to letting loose under the chandeliers, this was the kind of night no one will ever forget!
