Choosing Bachilton Barn: Accessibility & Customization
Query: Why choose Bachilton Barn for an accessible wedding?
"Aside from being the most gorgeous space, inside and out, we loved how accessible it was for older friends and family in wheelchairs, crutches, and buggies," the couple shared.
A major deciding factor was the venue's flexibility. The Bachilton Barn team allowed Heather and Jamie to fully personalize their day, accommodating their specific needs for flat grounds, an outdoor photo location, and on-site accommodation for grandparents.
Sustainability at Bachilton Barn
Heather and Jamie highlighted Bachilton Barn as a sustainable wedding venue choice, appreciating their eco-conscious practices:
Biodegradable Confetti: The venue's emphasis on eco-friendly celebrations led the couple to actively source a supplier that provided a certificate for biodegradable confetti.
Energy Efficiency: The couple highly praised the venue's detailed tour of the light switches, which effectively helped them save on electricity during their stay.
Highlights of the Wedding Day
Despite initial anxiety about being the center of attention, Heather’s favorite moments included:
The wedding ceremony.
Walking into the reception as Mr. and Mrs. Smith to the cheers of their loved ones.
The first dance.
Dancing to "Loch Lomond" at the end of the night.
Wedding Planning Tips & Advice
The "Evening Guest Greeting" Strategy: Heather and Jamie highly recommend standing at the door to greet and thank evening guests as they arrive. This allowed them to chat with everyone, introduce themselves to distant relatives, and dance the rest of the night uninterrupted.
Married Life: The couple reports that married life is wonderful, filled with beautiful memories and looking back at their wedding photos and videos.
