Faith Bemiss | Democrat Just south of simple Blessings Farm is a rustic seating area for those who wish to have an more pastoral wedding.

Simple Blessings provides perfect wedding setting By Faith Bemiss [email protected] Planning a wedding venue can be stressful, but Simple Blessings Farm Event Barn makes the choices easier with indoor and outdoor areas plus room for a fullscale reception all at one location. Owned by Grant and Rachel Jones, the event barn is located on north state Route FF between La Monte and Knob Noster in a serene rural location. It has been open for about one year and is quickly gaining in popularity with future brides. “We had our first wedding Aug. 23 of last year,” Rachel said recently. “We had our first wedding and then we had our open house the very next day. Between March and August before we even opened our doors, we had 43 weddings booked. Right now, we’ve had one every weekend, except January and February. Every single Saturday has been booked.”

Faith Bemiss | Democrat many couples prefer an outdoor setting for their wedding. simple Blessings provides two; a white arbor with a view of the three-acre lake along with a more rustic setting to the south of the arbor. Rachel added that next year April through October every Saturday, except for two, is booked. Weddings can be hosted inside the attractive 6,000-squarefoot barn or outdoors at two

different locations. A large patio right outside the back doors is excellent for the seating of family and friends while white arbor is provided for the future bride and groom’s ceremony. Future brides may take their vows facing a threeacre lake. For a more rustic feel, an additional area, to the south, is set up with wooden benches and a wooden podium for a pastoral type wedding. “They can get married in here or outside,” Rachel added. She said she and her husband married outside on a hill just north of the property and that is what inspired them to open Simple Blessings. “Everybody said ‘oh my gosh your wedding was so pretty, it was just like out of a magazine,’” she added. “It’s sentimental to us, because

it’s our family’s Century Farm land. From up there you could see forever, it was just a beautiful day.” As for the outdoor setting at Simple Blessings, Rachel said she’s found that future brides love either the white setting or the all rustic. “Right now people are one way or another, they like the barn idea but they still want a little bit of elegance,” she added. “If they don’t want to go the full rustic route, they’ll have the white chairs out here with the white arbor. Now, we have some people that bring in their own arbor and they will get married facing the lake.” The cost for renting the event barn is varied. “For 2016, we have three packages,” Rachel said. “For the one-day package it’s $1,500. We have a two-day package where they can come in and have all day Friday to decorate, and have their rehearsal. A lot of people chose to stay and have their rehearsal dinner in the barn. Some people will have it catered, some people their families will do it. It’s convenient to have it all right here. I feel like it’s almost a home for them.” A two-day package is $2,600 and a weekend package costs $3,700. “Then they would be able to come back the next day and clean up,” she added of the weekend package. Some brides who chose the weekend package open wedding gifts the next morning and have brunch with out-of-town relatives before leaving. The package prices include Simple

Blessings setting up the tables and chairs and full use of the facilities. “We have some decorations that they are able to use at no extra charge,” Rachel added. “They have their choice of ceremony site and reception. There’s a bridal party loft where the brides get ready, it’s closed off. We have another loft, it’s just not closed off, but the guys get ready there sometimes.” Simple Blessings also provides a luncheon with the two-day package. “We give them a choice,” she said. “We usually do a taco bar or they can do sub sandwiches.” To further accommodate wedding couples, Simple Blessings has plans for a honeymoon or bridal cabin in 2016. Besides weddings, Simple Blessings has hosted birthday parties, anniversary parties and family reunions. “We’ve had a couple political dinners and fundraisers,” Rachel added. Simple Blessings Farm Event Barn can be reached on their Facebook page or by phone at 233-9040.

This will eliminate having to do it before the ceremony when you are already nervous. This will also cut down on the time taken for those photographs after the ceremony.
