Wooden boards or glass signs with calligraphy are popular options that also complement a rustic venue like The Barn at Green Garden Farm.

What a beautiful barn wedding venue you have in MN! I love a signature cocktail for the bride and groom. It's such a good way to share a little piece of themselves with their guests. And your tip about using table decor and settings that tell their story is perfect. It's a great conversational piece. Nice job on a beautiful Detroit lakes venue! - From a fellow venue owner down in the Texas hill country (Talula Mesa Glamping Resort near Austin).
