Why Couples Love Hosting Micro Weddings in Saint Leonard’s Scenic Barn

We’ve noticed something special happening here at The Barn at Pleasant Acres. More couples are choosing smaller celebrations, and honestly, we get it. When you bring your closest people together in our barn, something clicks. The conversations run deeper. The laughter feels warmer. And you actually get to enjoy your own wedding day.

Micro weddings at The Barn at Pleasant Acres offer an intimate, flexible setting with a cozy Lower Level for up to 40 guests, an optional outdoor lawn ceremony, and seamless support. Couples get day-of coordination, guest shuttles, setup and cleanup, Bridal and Groom’s suites, full lighting and sound, an open vendor policy, and accessible, comfortable spaces.

What Makes Our Barn Perfect for Your Intimate Celebration

Our Lower Level transforms beautifully for gatherings of 40 or fewer. It’s cozy without feeling cramped and intimate without losing that celebration energy. Some couples use it for their entire event. Others start with an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn, then move inside for dinner and dancing. Our restrooms feature custom barn wood finishes that add rustic charm and often become a talking point for guests. Small detail, but when your aunt mentions how nice the bathrooms were, you know you picked the right spot.

Your Team’s Day Makes Everything Flow

Here’s what The Barn at Pleasant Acres handles so you don’t have to: Your day-of coordinator keeps vendors on schedule and manages timing. Our guest care team parks cars and runs the golf cart shuttle. When the cocktail hour starts, our team transitions the ceremony chairs indoors to smoothly prepare the space for dinner. By the time you walk back in, everything’s ready.

We’re a family business, and that means our whole team, from parking to coordination, treats your guests like family too. Your grandmother gets help to her seat. Your cousin with the toddler gets directions to the quiet corner. These things matter when every guest is someone special to you.

Food and Drinks Your Way

You pick your caterer. You choose your menu. We have an open vendor policy because we know you might want your favorite restaurant handling the food or your friend who started that craft cocktail business running the bar. We provide the tables, the Chiavari chairs, and the space. You bring in the flavors that tell your story.

What Comes with Your Micro Wedding Booking

Your package includes the Bridal Suite, where you can get ready with your crew. The Groom’s Suite provides your partner with their own private space. We set up your ceremony, whether you want it outside on the lawn or inside the barn. The upscale Chiavari chairs are included; no rental company needed.

The Barn at Pleasant Acres’ full lighting package means chandeliers for elegance and draping to soften the space. The sound system handles your playlist and any announcements. We clean before you arrive and after you leave. Even decorating access happens on your event day, so you’re not scrambling the night before.

Moving Through Your Day

Most micro wedding venues here follow a natural flow. You might start getting ready in the Bridal Suite while your partner’s in the Groom’s area. Your ceremony happens on the front lawn if the weather cooperates, or inside if it doesn’t. During cocktail hour, guests explore our 13.5 acres or snap photos by the farmhouse and antique barns while we flip the space for dinner. Then everyone comes back together for toasts, dinner, and dancing.
