You have exclusive access to The Coffey Barn property starting at 9:00 am until 11:00 pm. Day and a half rentals also include exclusive access to the property the day prior from 3:00 pm until 9:00 pm.


Q: How much time is allowed for set-up and clean-up?

Set-up time begins when your rental time starts.  Saturday rentals can start setting up Friday at 3:00 pm.  Full-day rentals can start setting up at 9:00 am on the day of the event. We do not allow early access to the barn before the rental period.
All items must be removed by the end of the rental period at 11:00 pm on the day of the rental and items cannot be dropped off and/or stored prior to or after rental.


Q: Do you allow decorations?
Yes, we welcome flowers, centerpieces, battery powered candles, and lighting.  Decorations can be hung on the walls using push pins at levels easily reached.  We do not allow decorations hung from the rafters, high on the walls or nailed. 


Q: What kind of music is permitted?
Our facility is open to all types of music including DJ's and instruments.  However, we no longer allow amplified live music. We also have speakers you can use with your phone or device and play your own.  Music is permitted until 11:00 pm on weekends at reasonable levels (not to exceed 85 decibels).


Q: Does The Coffey Barn offer audio/video equipment? 
We do have two speakers that you have access to during your time.  One of the speakers has a bluetooth to use outside.  Both speakers have a wired microphone, audio connection cord for electronic devices, and power cords included.  


Q: When do we have access to the dressing areas?
You have access to the dressing areas during the entire rental period.  Saturday rentals will have access to the dressing areas on the day prior to the rental starting at 3:00 pm, full-day rentals have access starting at 9:00 am. We are not set up for overnight stays.

Q: Can you recommend any local vendors?
Yes, we have some business cards for vendors that have been to the venue and performed well.

Q: Are tents included in your rentals?
No, we do not offer the option of a tent.  If you would like to rent a tent, we can direct you to a local vendor.  However, due to setup and breakdown, schedules of the vendors, and since we have multiple weddings per weekend, you would be required to rent a full weekend in order to set up an outdoor tent. 

Q: Do you provide day of coordination?
No, we do not provide the kind of step by step instruction, attention, or setup labor of a professional wedding planner or coordinator.  We do recommend hiring a planner or coordinator, particularly if you are coming from out of town. 


Q: Do you set up tables and chairs?
On the day of your rental, we will have your requested number of tables/chairs inside the barn ready for you. We do not do any decorating. If your ceremony is outside, we will bring the outside chairs up for you the morning of your event for you to arrange how you want. We do not set those chairs up.   


Q: May we bring in an outside caterer?
Yes, you can bring in any outside vendors that you choose.  The Coffey Barn does not restrict the caterer, DJ, photographers, event planners, or any other outside vendors you choose.


Q: Does The Coffey Barn provide the wedding cake?
No, we do not provide a wedding cake or any other food for the event.


Q:  Can we bring in our own alcohol?
Yes, we do allow outside alcohol on the property and do not require the use of a bartender for beer and wine.  However, any alcohol brought onto the property (either served to guests or consumed only by the wedding party while getting ready) we do require that you purchase an event insurance liability policy from an outside vendor of your choice and we do have information on how to obtain that.  We must have a copy of the policy at least 30 days prior to the event.  We do recommend a bartender when mixed drinks are served in order to control consumption.


Q: Will you tentatively hold my event date?
No, we do not hold dates on a tentative basis.  Your date will be reserved once the
contract has been signed and an initial deposit received.  We are now set up for digital contracts and online payments! 


Q: What is the payment schedule?
An initial non-refundable deposit of $750 is due at contract signing.  The remainder of the wedding package price and any additional rented items is due no later than 60 days prior to the event date.  We accept cash, check and credit cards. Please be advised that there is a 3% processing fee for credit cards. 


Q: Do we clean up after the event?
We provide clean-up of the barn at the conclusion of the event with a full-day rental.  We will wipe tables and chairs, sweep and mop the floors, clean the restrooms and dressing areas, and haul off the trash.  Clean-up of the kitchen and any kitchen items used will need to be provided by the caterer.  For day and a half rentals, the cleanup will not be included on Friday night other than to haul off the trash. You will need to provide clean-up if needed before the Saturday event day.


Q: How do guests know where to park?
We will have parking attendants directing traffic as guests arrive.


Q: What all is in the kitchen for us to use?
The kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove with oven, sink, microwaves, coffee maker, and prep table.  Other small decorative, serving, or dispensing items may be present in the kitchen that you can use.  Items present during the planning meeting may or may not be available during your event.  We also provide coffee with accessories, garbage bags, toilet paper, and paper towels.


Q: Do you provide tablecloths for the tables?
We do have white floor length tablecloths to fit all of our tables.  There is a cleaning fee to use the tablecloths of $13 each.  We now offer rentals for table runners and colored tablecloths. Those rentals are based on color, size, and material.


Q: Can we rent the barn for a Wedding Shower/Baby Shower/Birthday Party or other events?
Yes, we will rent for most types of events.  However, on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) we only rent for full-day events.  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday rentals are from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm at full rental rates.  During the weekdays, Monday through Thursday, we will rent 4 hours for smaller events for $400.  Additional time can be added for $100 an hour up to a max of 6 hours.  *We  no longer rent for teenage parties* 


Q: Do you have air conditioning or heating?
The barn  DOES NOT ​ have air conditioning so events during the summer months will be very hot.  The barn does have thermostat controlled heat for winter months. 

Q: Do you allow pets?
Only service animals may be allowed on the property. We do have farm animals on the property so the animals must be leashed and supervised at all times.
