The calming presence of the friendly farm animals will welcome guests as they arrive for the special day, while the location is private, serene, and easily accessible. Facilities and Capacity Couples can say their vows on the wooden deck platform covered by a rustic gazebo, all overlooking the picturesque pond and fountain—incidentally, a gorgeous backdrop for photographs.

It is an experience they won't soon forget. The wagons are equipped with the comforts of home, including central heating and air conditioning. Services Offered Rooterville Animal Sanctuary provides the venue, the animals, and the magic; the wedding planner will take care of everything else. The helpful on-site staff will work alongside the day-of coordinator to carefully arrange flowers, set up catering, and organize the lighting, everything needed to create a stunning celebration. Guests are welcome to explore the 20-acre property, from the forest of giant Oaks to the ponds and butterfly gardens. Everyone is encouraged to pack snacks to feed the amiable animals who are only too happy for some human interaction. This meeting of the species will generally lead to some wonderfully fun photo opportunities for adults and kids alike.
