Nestled in the heart of Biglerville, Pennsylvania, the Historic Round Barn & Farm Market is a truly unique wedding venue, offering couples a blend of rustic charm and timeless elegance. Brittany and Ian Lloyd celebrated their love here on a warm June day, surrounded by family, friends, and the serene beauty of the orchard-covered countryside.

A Venue Full of Character

Built in 1914, the Round Barn is one of only a few remaining round barns in the United States, making it a historical treasure and a standout choice for couples seeking a distinctive backdrop for their wedding day. Its towering wooden beams, charming chandeliers, and rustic decor provide a warm and inviting atmosphere that photographs beautifully. The venue comfortably seated around 120 guests for this wedding.

The Round Barn offers a variety of scenic locations for photography, both indoors and out. Inside, couples can take advantage of vintage furniture, like the warm-toned velvet sofa and antique chairs, which add an extra touch of sophistication to bridal portraits. Outside, the expansive orchard provides a lush, green setting for romantic couple's photos, while the iconic barn doors create a stunning frame for dramatic entrance shots.

The Importance of Seasonality

While the summer warmth added a golden glow to the photos, it’s worth noting that the barn does not have air conditioning. For couples planning a wedding here, we recommend considering spring or fall dates when temperatures are milder. However, on hot days the staff do try to help with large fans blowing ice-cooled air for relief.

Ceremony in the Shade

The ceremony site, located across the street and nestled in the woods, is a peaceful retreat with towering trees that provide ample shade. This thoughtful layout ensures the ceremony remains cool and comfortable, even on a warm summer day. A shuttle bus conveniently transports guests to and from the ceremony site, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.

Brittany and Ian exchanged their vows under a simple yet elegant wooden arch draped in white fabric, with the natural greenery and rolling hills creating a breathtaking backdrop. The dappled sunlight filtering through the trees added a magical glow to their heartfelt ceremony.

A Reception to Remember

After the ceremony, guests returned to the barn for an evening of celebration. The Round Barn’s interior was adorned with twinkling string lights and elegant chandeliers, creating a cozy yet glamorous ambiance. The tables were beautifully set with gold chargers, fresh floral centerpieces, and subtle rustic accents that tied the theme together perfectly.

The catering was provided by Mission BBQ, delivering a mouthwatering meal that added a casual yet flavorful touch to the festivities. Guests enjoyed heartfelt speeches, dances, and an anniversary celebration that honored the enduring love of Brittany’s grandparents.

A Dreamy Sunset Finale

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Brittany and Ian took a moment to step away from the reception for a sunset photo session in the orchard. The golden hour light cast a romantic glow, perfectly complementing their love story and providing some of the most breathtaking images of the day.
