Can you cover the ceremony and reception in different spaces at Watkins Barn & Venue?

Yes. The spaces at Watkins Barn & Venue include Barn, grounds by Sugar Creek. Ceremony sound is its own setup, so we can run the ceremony in one space and the reception in another.

Can you cover the ceremony as well as the reception?

Yes. Ceremony sound is its own setup rather than a speaker borrowed from the reception rig, and a lapel mic is included for your officiant.

Do you bring a photo booth to Watkins Barn & Venue?

Yes. One team handles the DJ, the photo booth and the uplighting on one contract, so there is one load-in and one point of contact instead of three vendors coordinating with each other.
