You guys do such an amazing job and there were so many comments about the barn and everyone involved. You should be so proud of the vibe you have created, its such a nice place to be and we both were sad to think we might not be back. Here’s hoping for an invite to a wedding there soon…I’ll spread the word! Thanks again
