Just past the front of the Chapel and outdoor waterfall is the Barn.

The reception space holds 55 people.

Our Reviews
“Scott and Heidi made our day beyond special. We almost planned to elope, but their warm support and beautiful venue convinced us to host a micro wedding instead. They worked within our budget, helped choose the perfect menu, and handled every detail so we could focus on each other.”
- Megan Hamilton
““They were super easy to work with, very accommodating with my room set up requests and were quick to respond to questions/concerns. Our guests were so impressed with the adorable chapel and the amazing venue space for the reception & dinner. Even our Chef/caterer was impressed with how easy it was to work with the Local Ark. If you’re looking for a sweet & small venue - I definitely recommend The Local Ark!”
- Robin Katzman
“We eloped here and absolutely loved it! The chapel is so sweet and was the perfect setting for us. Scott was incredibly responsive and accommodating—from our first call to the big day. We can’t wait to renew our vows here in a few years!”
