I’m in agreement with those that want to do it on the cheap, but I’m torn. Thing is, we held a friend’s wedding on our farm and it was a huge hit. Every single person there that is “in the wedding industry” told us we had a gold mine site for wedding events. Even the pastor.
So we’ve now been planning on it being a part of our income into retirement. They used a large tent for that one, but we want to put up a nice sheet metal building with some special touches primarily for weddings and other events.
But now I feel guilty. ;-)
If you can ride the trend, go for it. Any additional income in retirement is helpful. ;)
My son is in an entertaining band and would be happy to be the ‘house band’ for you. LOL
You want to watch out with that one. There was a couple in NY state in just your position, who declined to rent out their barn for a same-sex marriage. Lawsuit and potential financial ruin ensued.
Just advertise by word of mouth, unless you want a homosexual couple to try to bully you into letting them use your facility.
