The perfect venue for our dream wedding. The barn and grounds are gorgeous and beautifully kept- and the apartment is a perfect spot to get ready! Gina is wonderful and accommodating- and the weekend rental is so helpful especially for the hands on bride. Absolutely would recommend to anyone!!

Got married here two years ago and it was the easiest and best decision we made. The owners are so kind and easy going, and the property is absolutely stunning. Easily accessible from downtown Poetland, so great for guests staying in town. Book it!

Getting married at Shady Lane Farm

Shady Lane Farm comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
