The Setting for your love story

Originally constructed in 1928 as a community center, The Old Schoolhouse was built through generous donations of both time and resources — a true labor of love by local families. In the decades that followed, the building evolved with the needs of its community: serving as a schoolhouse in the 1950s, then later as a hub for roller skating nights, civic events, and neighborhood celebrations.

In 2014, The Old Schoolhouse underwent a full restoration, carefully preserving its historic charm while thoughtfully updating the space for modern events. Today, it has been lovingly returned to its original purpose — a place where families and friends come together to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.

The venue features three distinct event spaces:

  • The Old Schoolhouse Ballroom

  • The Grand Garden

  • The Hazelnut Orchard

Each space offers its own unique atmosphere and can be used for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or receptions depending on your vision and guest count. All three are included with every full-day rental, allowing you to craft a celebration that flows beautifully from one setting to the next.

On the lower level, you’ll find two private getting-ready suites, each with a full bathroom for comfort and privacy throughout the day. A spacious lounge provides an inviting spot for extended family and friends to relax and connect before the festivities begin. This floor also includes an oversized catering kitchen, outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and ample prep space — ideal for hosting caterers of any style.

the BALLROOM

The Ballroom at The Old Schoolhouse is where timeless charm meets modern celebration. Surrounded on all sides by large windows, the space is bathed in beautiful natural light throughout the day, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your event. The original 1928 hardwood floors lend a touch of historic elegance, while the clean, neutral interior provides a versatile backdrop that can be styled to suit any wedding aesthetic — from romantic and rustic to sleek and sophisticated.

At the far end of the room, a built-in DJ booth makes entertainment seamless, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening of music and dancing. Whether you're envisioning a formal plated dinner or a lively cocktail-style reception, The Ballroom can accommodate up to 160 guests for a seated dinner or 180 guests for a ceremony or cocktail hour at peak capacity. Please note that with a guest count of 120 or more for a seated dinner leaves minimal space for a dance floor inside.

The space is fully equipped with central heat and air conditioning, ensuring your guests stay comfortable year-round, no matter the season.

Spacious, light-filled, and rich with character, The Ballroom is truly the heart of The Old Schoolhouse — perfect for celebrating your love in style.

The Orchard

Radiating natural whimsy and romance, The Orchard is a breathtaking setting for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or simply unforgettable photos. Tucked in the northwest corner of the property, the orchard features wide, walkable rows framed by gently arching hazelnut trees — offering an enchanting sense of privacy and serenity.

In spring and summer, the canopy is lush with vibrant green leaves, creating a soft, dappled light that’s perfect for golden hour vows or portraits. As fall arrives, the grove transforms into a stunning palette of amber and gold, adding a warm, rustic backdrop to your celebration.

The orchard is ideal for intimate ceremonies of 80 or fewer, or it can comfortably accommodate 200+ guests for a seated dinner or cocktail-style reception beneath the open sky.

Whether you're exchanging vows under the trees or sipping signature cocktails among the leaves, the orchard offers a one-of-a-kind setting that feels both magical and deeply personal.

The Garden

Overflowing with beauty and charm, The Garden is the centerpiece of the property and one of the most beloved ceremony locations at The Old Schoolhouse. Surrounded by cultivated foliage and lush plantings, the space offers a storybook setting that feels both timeless and romantic.

Throughout the season, the garden transforms as different flora and fauna come into bloom, painting the landscape with ever-changing color. From deep purple irises in spring to blush-toned roses in summer, each phase brings its own unique atmosphere — offering couples a naturally evolving backdrop that’s breathtaking in every light.

The garden is perfect for ceremonies of up to 200 guests and can also be used for cocktail hours, portraits, or outdoor receptions. With wide open skies above and curated plantings all around, it's a space that invites guests to pause, breathe, and celebrate in the beauty of the moment.
