A Barn Ceremony and Reception at The Outpost Center | Heather + Justin
When couples choose to celebrate their wedding days at The Outpost Center, we’re always honored. Your wedding venue will be the site of so many the memories you will always hold close, and to know our spaces will play a role in those memories means the world to us. Today, we’re honored to introduce you to Heather and Justin!
H+J recited their vows and celebrated with their guests in the fall. They began their days tucked away in our getting ready suites with their bridesmaids and groomsmen. During the morning, Heather presented her bridesmaids with gifts, and they all enjoyed hair and makeup before Heather shared her first look with Justin.
Though they planned to recite their vows inside the barn (more on that in a moment!), Heather and Justin explored our beautiful property during their first look. Their moment began as Heather walked up behind Justin and tapped him on the shoulder before he turned around to greet her. We always look forward to this moment because it’s filled with so much excitement! Then they walked around our property together, and they even made a point to visit our horses.
Once their guests arrived, Justin waited for Heather at the top of the aisle inside the barn where a wooden backdrop accented with flowers was in place to add more rustic flair. We also have to point out that “Rooted in Faith. Founded on Faith in Christ” is inlaid into the bricks in the barn, and the words were centered in the aisle and in full view during the ceremony. It’s a message we love, and one we always point toward on wedding days.
After they officially became Mr. and Mrs., it was time for Heather, Justin, and their guests to celebrate! During cocktail hour, our team transformed the barn from a ceremony into a reception, complete with guest tables and a sweetheart table positioned in the same spot where H+J recited their vows. Once everyone had been welcomed inside, it was time to for the dance floor to be filled for the rest of the night! Before all of the fun could come to a close, Heather and Justin shared one final wedding day moment together during their sparkler exit.
Heather and Justin, congratulations on your wedding day and your marriage! We cannot wait to see all that you do together.
