The Schoolhouse Venue
If you’re looking for a venue that’s refreshingly different than traditional ballrooms or rustic barns, we recommend The Schoolhouse!

Outside the venue, they have an amazing green space where you can set up your ceremony or have a cocktail hour! It truly is a beautiful spot for an incredible wedding!
