To our friends and our amazing community:

(Please read and share if you can.)

For the past several years, The Olde Church has been far more than a business to us. It has been a place where thousands of memories have been made, where families have celebrated, where couples have begun their lives together, and where we’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people. None of that would have been possible without this incredible community.

Today, we want to share something personal.

When we purchased and restored The Olde Church, we knew it would require sacrifices. What we didn’t fully appreciate was just how difficult it would become to live more than 11 hours away from our daughter. Recently, our daughter said something very simple:

“I just want us to have Sunday night dinners together.”

Those words stayed with us.

Life has a way of reminding us what matters most, and we’ve realized that while we’ve been helping others create beautiful memories here, we’re missing opportunities to create some of our own with the people we love.

Because of that, we’ve made the difficult decision to begin looking for the next owner of The Olde Church. Following the sale, we plan to move near our daughter in Pennsylvania.

This is NOT a closing announcement. We are OPEN for business and the church is only being sold as a wedding and event venue. So, please continue to support it!

We will continue operating exactly as we always have, honoring every booking and serving every couple with the same care and commitment until the right buyer comes along. It may take a year or two to find that buyer.

Our plan is to find someone who shares our vision and wants to continue The Olde Church as the wedding and event venue it was created to be. We’d love to see its story continue for many many years to come.

For someone looking for a truly unique business opportunity—this is much more than a piece of real estate. It is a true turnkey business that includes:

• The beautifully restored historic church with commercially licensed kitchen
• The fully furnished five bedroom Parsonage Guest House
• Existing Wedding and event bookings (Bookings out to 2028)
• Rental business inventory
• Established social media accounts and brand assets
• Systems and resources we’ve built over the years
• A venue with an established reputation and tremendous room for future growth

Most importantly, we are including 3 months of training in the sale for the new owners.

If this opportunity speaks to you—or if you know someone who has dreamed of owning a one-of-a-kind historic wedding venue—we would love to hear from you. Simply send us a private message, and we’ll be happy to connect you with our broker for additional information.

Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and allowing us to be a small part of so many of your most important moments. Whatever happens next, we’ll always be grateful for this community and the memories we’ve made together.

Here’s to the next chapter—for us, and for The Olde Church.
