The Cording Event Barn at Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages
Good to know around Galena

Bringing your own caterer? The Cording Event Barn at Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages allows outside catering — evidence from the venue's own site or couples' reviews, not a guess. Confirm the details when you book your tour.
Want to stay where you celebrate?
This venue offers on-site lodging — a farmhouse for the wedding party, cabins for guests, sometimes the whole property for the weekend. No last-call shuttle, and everyone's still there for pancakes the morning after.
Prefer one contract and one bill?
This venue offers all-inclusive packages — typically tables, chairs, setup and teardown, and often catering, bar, and a day-of coordinator. Ask exactly what's included; it's different at every barn.
