And just like that our wedding season comes to an end...
We did around 20 weddings this year, ranging from elopements to small intimate ceremonies (one memorable one in Greenlee Tavern in January with Mayor Frank Reeves officiating) to beautiful 100-200 guest weddings at our arch (last week's decorations pictured below), large weddings with beautiful tents on our lawn, and finally a small ceremony and reception in our stable this afternoon to close the season.
When I think about why couples choose Mountain Run I often think about our affordability (weddings here are $4000 on average and if you are booking something smaller or during the week it can be just $200-$300! We had one bride who confided after her wedding that she didn't think she was going to be able to have a beautiful wedding because so many nice venues are so expensive...but then she found us and her wedding was stunning.
But its really not about the price...its about how people feel when they are here. I (David) personally do all the wedding tours, and my parents John & Carol work the bar. My wife Kayti handles a lot of the Day Of Coordinating. Its literally a family business, and since the weddings here take place in and around my home, we really do want our guests to have the best event possible.
Our family-based team isn't doing this as a job...we are doing this because this is our chosen lifestyle and we genuinely want to welcome strangers to our farm, get to know them, and ensure that they receive the same level of care we would give to one of our own family members.
It doesn't hurt that we have a really uniquely authentic venue (our dance-barn was built in 1902!) that is absolutely magical at night, but when it comes down to it, the magic of Mountain Run is as much in the people as it is in the place.
Cheers to the 2025 wedding season and here's looking forward to the (nearly fully booked) 2026 season! Just about every Saturday and Sunday in 2026 will have an event, music, LARP group or wedding (or, as usual, multiple simultaneous diverse event bookings across the many venues at our farm)!
