Set the tone as guests drive from the main road down a long windy dirt driveaway entering upon your event space. After they park their cars, they make a short walk down a path through a small wooded area. Everyone immediately feels at ease in the natural setting, and at the same time, are excited for events to unfold.
Design the most charming outdoor wedding with a relaxed reception to follow under a rented tent (or under the stars). The surrounding grounds offer a variety of spots to capture amazing pictures. Or are you craving a BBQ-themed picnic event with coordinating gingham tablecloths and mason jar drinks? Perhaps an outdoor music theatre more your style. The Field welcomes all of your inspired ideas and creative visions.
For those that embrace the perfectly imperfect elements of nature (i.e. unmanicured lawn and trees that aren’t groomed by hand), The Field makes an ideal setting for all sorts of festivities. The abundance of trees and woods provides a private space to fully unplug from the “busyness” of everyday life. We’ll be delighted to work with you on designing the experience of your dreams.
There is no built-in lighting on The Field, but portable electricity can be provided at no extra cost. All custom lighting is the responsibility of the renter and must be handled by a licensed professional. If onsite catering is needed, a separate tented space can be set up out of the way in an inconspicuous spot near The Field, or use of the nearby school indoor facilities can be arranged. Portable electricity is available
