The second ceremony area is located adjacent to the large reception area and is nestled under a Honey Locust Grove, provides some great shade on those hot sunny days. When this grove is populated with the local bees, it provides an amazing humming ambient sound. Have no fear, these bees do not come down to bother anyone. A magnolia is also located at the rear of this location, which, when paired with the hand maid “Bridal Gate” makes for a spectacular entrance.
For your ceremony, Angel & Anchor Farm provide several types of archways that can be used. Ranging from circle, to triangle, to hexagon and more.
