  • Venue POC: Kelly Regan

    Address: 15 Birddog Rd, White Salmon WA 98672

    Phone number: 541.371.2276

    Email: magic@atinroofbarn.com

    Website: Tin Roof Barn

  • Venue access (12pm-10:30pm, 11pm for vendors):

    Clients and vendors will have access to the venue beginning at 12pm on the day of the event for setup. Storage units are available the night before your wedding (items can be dropped off at your convenience - bring your own combo or key lock). Refrigerated storage is available for a $75 fee.

  • Getting here:

    If driving from Portland on I84, there is a $3.50 cash toll bridge to cross from Hood River, OR into WA and back. If you wish to avoid the toll, take Hwy 14 from Vancouver (it may take up to 15-20 minutes longer due to slower traffic on Hwy 14). The venue is located 1 mile north of the town of Husum at the intersection of Hwy 141 and Birddog Rd.

    15 Birddog Rd., White Salmon, WA 98672

  • Arrival is no earlier than 12pm on the day of the event. For loading/unloading, you may utilize the loading area at the northwest side of the barn. To access, drive west past the guest house and immediately turn right on the dirt road. All vehicles must be removed from the loading area by 2pm with the exception of catering. I repeat, ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REMOVED BY 2PM!! I’m a stickler for this because I don’t want somebody’s Subaru in the background of the couple’s beautiful wedding photos of the venue.

  • No parking in the roundabout or in front of the guest house - this is a fire lane. Additionally, no parking in the loading/unloading area by the barn. All vendors must park in the field parking area in front of the guest house.

  • The Restroom Building is located behind the barn. There is no separate restroom for vendors, so please help us keep it clean for the guests.

  • There is very limited storage space at this venue - plan on keeping all boxes and unused items in your vehicle until needed when you are departing. Please lock valuables in your vehicle. Please utilize the Catering Patio and shed as well as the space behind the Mens restroom if you need to keep items onsite or create a bussing station.

  • This is a generic timeline template which will be used by the Lead Coordinator to create a Custom Wedding Timeline for the wedding day. All vendors should receive the Custom Timeline from the Coordinator prior to the wedding day.

2. Venue Parameters

 

The venue is surrounded by private property. No trespassing on any private lands. Vendors and guests must stay within the Venue Perimeter.

Special Access areas are for photography purposes only and not accessible to anyone other than the wedding party, photographer, and videographer.

3. Bar

 
  • A Washington state licensed bartender, provided through the catering company, must be onsite to oversee alcohol service at all times. The Client will purchase a WA State Banquet Permit prior to their event and furnish a signed copy to Tin Roof Barn.

  • Wine, champagne, cider and beer service only. Mixed “signature drinks” containing hard alcohol may be served during cocktail hour to conclude by 6:30pm. These drinks will not be served into the dinner reception (but existing drinks may continue to be consumed). No shots of alcohol allowed at any time. The Client may source their alcohol per the WA State Banquet permit parameters and the Caterer’s liquor license requirements.

  • Table service is allowed for wine. This exception is Tin Roof Barn policy only - should the Bartender/Caterer not allow table service, all alcohol will be received from the bartender directly.

  • The Bartender/Caterer will need to provide a jockey box for kegs.

    There is an “L” shape 8’x6’ bar in the barn with an ice chest and area for coolers, jockey box, or additional bottle storage. The barrel dispensers on the wall behind the bar are for decor only and not to be used. Alcohol should be stored in the Catering Room or bar area. There is a refrigerator in the storage room behind the bar that can be used.

    There is a 14’ bar and 12’ back-bar in the Pavilion for cocktail hour. There is space under the bar for kegs and the back-bar has a wall of fruit crates for glassware and bottle display.

  • The bars must be returned to the condition they were in when you arrived.

    • All trash/recycling/boxes/empty bottles must be removed by the Caterer/Bartender

    • Mop up excess water/liquid on the bar floor

    • Remove all ice and debris from the ice bin, empty bucket into the sink

    • Empty the dump bucket and rinse with water

    • Do not empty liquids outside - use the sink for any liquid disposal. Ice should be emptied

    onto the gravel path next to the restroom building.

    • Wipe down the bar counters

    • Box up leftover alcohol for the Client to remove on their departure

4. Beauty

 
  • The Dressing Suites are located in the guest house. The Mt Adam’s Suite (formerly the Groom’s Room) entrance is next to the garage. The St Helen’s Suite entrance is facing the front yard. Each have their own private entrance and bathroom.

    In all cases, we recommend hair and makeup preparation be completed offsite and only final prep after dressing be done onsite. Clients and vendors gain access to the venue no earlier than 12pm unless otherwise arranged with an additional site fee.

  • This part of the house, formerly the Bridal Suite, has a dedicated hair & makeup room, dressing room, a small kitchen, dedicated sitting area, and a bathroom. Please note that while a shower is available, the water pressure in this bathroom is not the greatest and we recommend showering prior to your arrival.

    There are 3 vanities for makeup application and 3 bar height chairs for hair styling. Do not move the vanities. If you move the bar height chairs to another room for styling, they need to be returned to the hair and makeup room. There are electrical outlets available in all rooms.

  • This suite, formerly the Groom’s Room, is the smaller of the two dressing quarters. It has a private entrance, restroom, bar, and a combined dressing and sitting area. Please note that while a shower is available, the water pressure in this bathroom is not the greatest and we recommend showering prior to your arrival. There are electrical outlets available in the bathroom and the dressing/sitting area.

  • All personal items in the Bridal Suite and Groom’s Room must be gathered and put in bags/ boxes to be moved to either a vehicle or the Groom’s Room storage area by 4pm. This storage area will be locked between 6pm-10pm.

    All boxes/bags/hangers/bottles/cans/food/trash that does not fit into the provided trash cans must be removed from the venue by 10:30pm.

5. Cakes & Desserts

 
  • Desserts can be displayed on the table with a wine barrel base located next to the bar. Tin Roof Barn does not include cake stands, serving ware, cake cutting knives, or other dessert display items. If needed, these can be rented through Magpie’s Nest.

  • There are two options for moving a tall cake (and/or desserts) into the barn. There are also two rolling carts in the barn that may be used for transporting your items.

    1) Park in the roundabout for offload and walk from the roundabout to the front of the barn. The dessert table will be inside just past the right entry door. The sidewalks are textured, so this may be the bumpier option if you’re using one of our carts.

    2) Park in back of the barn and use the rear entrance. The dessert table will be towards the front of the barn on your left. For this option you will have to take a somewhat bumpy dirt road that is located in front of the Bridal Suite. Just drive slowly and it shouldn’t be a problem.

  • If not setting out cake/desserts immediately, they can be stored in the refrigerators located in the Catering Room. Check with catering though, as they may need the space as well.

  • Remove any extraneous trash that you bring to the venue prior to your departure. We do not dispose of your boxes, wrapping, recycling, etc.

    We recommend providing small “to-go” dessert boxes so that guests may take leftover cake and goodies with them on departure.

6. Catering

 
  • The caterer must provide full-service staffing and bartending to include setup/breakdown/cleanup, trash and recycling removal. Caterers will not leave the venue until final guest departure and the coordinator has been notified.

    Open-flame catering is not allowed per the Klickitat County Burn Ban. All cooking apparatus must have an on/off switch to comply with the ban.

    Caterers must complete an annual walkthrough prior to their first event at the venue. The Caterer must be a licensed and insured business with current food handler certificates for all onsite personnel. The caterer’s COI will be required annually, prior to their first event. The reception will conclude at 10PM (at the latest) with a 1 hour allotment for cleanup and breakdown.

    Cleanup and breakdown will be completed and the venue will close by 11PM. Should the client wish for their event to conclude earlier, the caterers will leave once cleanup/ breakdown is complete and the captain has checked out with the Coordinator.

  • A walkthrough will be required for any Caterer that has not worked this venue previously. All caterers are encouraged to complete a yearly walkthrough prior to your first event. We will go through Setup/Breakdown with Tin Roof Barn staff to familiarize Catering Captains, go through any venue changes, discuss standard event timeline, and encourage communication between vendors to help insure a smooth event.

  • At a minimum, 2 servers per 50 guests (50-100 guests = 4 servers, 100-150 guests = 6 servers), and 1 Captain. Following dinner service, a minimum of 3 servers must remain onsite until close to complete all food and beverage cleanup. All servers must be over 18 and possess a WA state Food Worker card.

  • The Client will contract either the Catering Team or the Coordination Team for setup of ceremony chairs, dining tables, and dining chairs. The tables and chairs will be provided in the barn by TRB staff.

    Caterer/coordinator will arrange according to the client’s layout. Ceremony chairs will have to be completely setup/broken down by caterer/coordinator. Tableware and linen setup will be contracted and completed by the caterer/coordinator.

    Food prep/cooking setup/bussing stations can be setup on the catering patio to the northwest of the barn. Use a tarp or floor covering to collect drippings if using a grill. No grill/cooking apparatus setup is allowed inside the barn, on the landscaped surfaces, patios, sidewalks, fields, or behind the restroom building.

    There is one electrical outlet on the back side of the women’s restroom, adjacent to the patio. Recommend a 50’ extension cord. Water is only available in the Catering Room.

  • Tin Roof Barn does not supply ice. Ice can be purchased at BZ Corner Country Mart and Gas Station, located 3 miles north of the barn on Hwy 141 (a right turn out of the venue).

  • The Catering Room is not a permitted kitchen and will only be used for prep and cleanup. The Catering Room includes three residential size refrigerators with freezers, electrical outlets, prep table, sink and sprayer.

  • The 4 trash recepticals must be emptied:

    There are 3 wine barrel garbage cans and 1 catering room can that are provided by the venue - all 4 need to be emptied prior to departure.

    Trash can locations: 1 in the catering room, 1 in the barn across from the dessert table, 1 in the barn courtyard near the fire pit, and 1 in the Pavilion, next to the bar).

    All food and beverage related trash must be removed from the venue by the Catering Team.

  • The Caterer will leave the Catering Room in the same condition it was in upon arrival. The Caterer will need to include dessert cleanup/breakdown in their contract whether dessert items were provided by the Caterer or other vendor/friend/family. All food and beverage trash, recycling, boxes, bottles, cans, unwanted leftovers, etc will be removed from the venue by the catering team. Incomplete cleanup results in an expedited cleaning fee to the Client which may be passed on to the caterer.

    All dishware must be scraped free of food and rinsed (if remaining overnight) to avoid insect and rodent invasion. The Client will be charged a cleaning fee if the caterer does not complete the cleanup as posted.

  • Catering must complete these items, at a minimum:

    1. Wipe down dining tables, dessert table, buffet table (if used), bar, pavilion bar, pavilion table, and catering room tables and counters

    2. Flip chairs onto dining tables AFTER they are wiped down

    3. Sweep Catering Room, bar and barn floor

    4. Mop ALL liquid on dining floors, in the bars, and Catering Room floor

    5. Ice should be dumped on the gravel path next to the restroom

    6. All liquid should be dumped in the sink, not the field

    7. Dispose or box up all leftover food and beverage

    8. Remove trash from the Catering Room and the 3 wine barrel trash cans (1 in the barn, 1 in the courtyard, 1 in the pavilion)

    9. Take trash, recycling, boxes, and all items with you on departure.

  • All items must be removed by team departure or 11pm at the latest. Caterers with back-to-back events are welcome to leave items overnight in the catering shed. Please DO NOT leave items in the Catering Room unless you have cleaned the counters and they are sterilized. Do not leave items (rental or personal) in front of the Catering Shed. Do not block the loading/unloading area in any way. Rental items to be picked up by a third party should be left on the Catering Patio, next to the restroom building.

    We will not store or dispose of unwanted/left behind items which may result in a fee to the Client. Please checkout with the Coordinator prior to departure to ensure you have successfully completed the cleanup/breakdown checklist.

7. Coordination & planning

 
  • Coordinators and Planners are responsible for all aspects of vendor management, the Wedding Day Timeline, and any details associated with the operation of the wedding. The Lead Coordinator will be onsite no earlier than 11am and no later than 11pm (unless TRB has been notified). TRB venue staff will not be onsite after 12pm.

  • Please send the timeline along with final number of dining chairs and dining tables to magic@atinroofbarn.com, no later than 3 days prior to the event.

  • Per the venue contract, we require the Client to purchase a minimum package for “Day-Of” coordination services. Additional hours or duties may need to be added to your standard “Day-Of” contract in order to meet the venue requirements. The Lead Coordinator must be onsite from first vendor arrival to final vendor departure.

  • This generic timeline should be the template you use to construct the Client’s customized Wedding Timeline. Coordinators do not have to be onsite when the Client arrives at the venue.

  • Reception Tables & Chairs: TRB Staff will add or remove dining tables and chairs in the barn per the number given to us by the coordinator 3 days prior. They will not be set in the custom layout that the client requests, so you will need to move them to fit the layout.

    PLEASE NOTE: Due to issues in previous seasons, we will no longer accommodate corrected table and chair numbers given to us on the day-of. The coordination team will be responsible for adding or subtracting tables and chairs if the number changes and Kelly is not notified prior to the day-of.

    Ceremony Chairs: TRB staff does not set up the ceremony chairs - the coordination team or catering team will be responsible for moving them in/out of the ceremony patio or pavilion. The ceremony chairs are stored in the gray sheds behind the restroom building.

    Tabletop Setup: Coordination or catering team is responsible for all tabletop setup and breadown.

  • Please review the Catering section for policies.

    Hot Items for Catering (that they may need reminding of):

    • do not leave catering room/bar doors propped open during reception hours - they may be propped open for setup and breakdown only

    • do not stack ice on the landscaped areas - it may be stacked and dumped on the gravel path next to the restroom

    • all dishware rentals MUST be scraped and rinsed prior to being left in the catering patio unless being picked up or taken away that night. NO OVERNIGHT DISHES that have food on them shall be left onsite (we will have rodents, raccoons, and insects by morning). Can’t stress this enough!

    • ensure the Catering Team removes all food and beverage trash from the venue, including trash bags from the 3 wine barrel trash cans (1 in the barn near the dessert table, 1 in the courtyard near the fire pit, and 1 in the Pavilion, typically near the bar)

    • all tables must be wiped down prior to putting the chairs up

    • the barn and catering room must be swept

    • all wet areas on the floor must be mopped

  • Rental companies may drop off items in the morning on the day-of and pick up the next day, prior to 12pm unless a later time has been granted by Kelly.

    Furniture must be moved to the Pavilion to avoid rain/dew/sprinkler/sun damage. DO NOT leave furniture or decor in the Barn Courtyard as it will sustain water damage from the sprinklers.

  • Hot Items for Florists:

    • no processing/trimming/arranging in the barn; they can set up a table in the catering patio to complete the centerpieces or arrangements.

    • floral breakdown needs to be contracted through the Coordination Team or Florist

    • TRB does not include floral disposal; all arrangements and installments must be removed from the venue by close

  • The Coordination Team is typically responsible for breaking down/packing up the tabletop (ie, all table decor, florals, votives, greenery, etc) for the Event Team (family and friends) to remove from the venue. The Coordination Team is responsible for ensuring all personal decor and florals are removed from the venue by checkout. Rentals should be set in the catering patio next to the Restroom Building. Please do not block the shed doors.

  • Prior to your departure: please use the TRB Coordinator’s Checklist as a guideline to ensure all cleanup has been completed.

  • The weather in the PNW is never certain. Please always have a Plan B for each Client regarding their ceremony location and cocktail hour. If you and the Client move forward with a Plan B, please email all vendors, including TRB, and keep us up to date on changes.

  • In the event of a fire or health related emergency, immediately dial 9-1-1.

    There is a list of emergency contacts and a Quick Action checklist in the Catering Room.

  • Power outages are not common but have occurred during storms. If the power goes out, immediately lock the restroom doors and notify the caterers that they cannot use the sink. If the power goes out and has not been restored within 20 minutes, the venue will close as it is illegal to remain open without water service.

  • If you encounter a disruptive guest, try to smooth over the situation but always err on the side of safety. Do not put yourself in harms way to protect the venue or guests.

    If you feel threatened or that you or other people are in danger, do not engage and call 9-1-1 or the county Sheriff’s office immediately. Then communicate with Kelly or property owners.

    If a guest or vendor has caused damage to the venue, please immediately notify Kelly.

8. Decor

 
  • Always have a Plan B for outdoor decor. Typically, if the Pavilion needs to be used for the ceremony, cocktail hour is moved into the barn. Therefore, it’s a quick change to move the ceremony patio decor into the Pavilion. However, if it is raining, any welcome decor or other that is in the Barn Courtyard will need to be moved either into the Pavilion or the barn.

    There are days that it will be windy - keep this in mind when deciding on outdoor decor. Guestbooks will need a weighted disc or something to keep it open. Tall items, such as vases, signs, floral arrangements, etc, will likely get pushed over if there’s a gust of wind. We do not provide ladders or step stools. Anyone using such items does so at their own risk.

  • Barn Locations:

    • white hutch at entrance and the 26” round side table between the pink chairs

    • side tables on either side of the leather sofa

    • dessert table, bar, and reception tables

    • There are two locations for bunting - one above the dessert table and one above the pink chairs. If a step stool is required, the bunting must be installed by an insured vendor such as the coordinator or stylist.

    Pavilion Locations:

    • fireplace alcoves

    • fruit boxes in back bar

    • seating area

    • wine barrels

    Ceremony Patio:

    • wine barrels

    • two-step dais

    • arbor

    • seating areas at the back of the patio

    Barn Courtyard:

    • Adirondack seating areas

    • beverage table

  • Do not stake any item into the ground or disturb the landscaping.

    • Do not add to or alter any part of an existing structure or furnishing.

    • Do not use glass decorations/signs outdoors due to high risk of getting knocked over by the wind or guests. We do not recommend easels as they get knocked over by the wind. “A Frame” signs or heavy duty easels work best outdoors.

    • Do not use staples, tacks, nails, glue, glue dots, sticky tack, or any other form of adhesive material to affix items to an existing structure or furnishing. String and wire are allowed.

    • If wrapping fabric or other around the Arbor, do it loosely as it will damage the wisteria.

    There are hooks across the upper horizontal boards for hanging decorations.

    • Do not place furniture, signs or any other item in the landscaped areas; use the walkways and patios only for display.

    • Do not use chalk pen on the Tin Roof Barn blackboard as it will leave a ghost when erased.

    Use standard white or colored chalk only. Professional chalk artist recommended.

    • Flammable candles and sparklers are prohibited. Battery operated candles only.

    • DO NOT USE OR THROW (not inclusive): confetti, glitter, natural or artificial flower petals, bird seed, flower seed, flammable candles, sparklers or other flame-lit objects throughout the venue.

    We DO ALLOW dried lavender buds to be thrown.

  • Decorations brought to the venue and associated trash must be removed by checkout. This includes boxes and packaging materials. There is an overnight storage fee if items are left past 10:30pm. Please make sure these policies are followed.

9. DJ & Musicians

 
  • Microphones and outdoor speakers/ equipment are not provided. We recommend arriving at least 1-hour prior to guest arrival for sound check (or as requested by the coordinator or client). Reception music must be off by 10pm.

    Additional speakers are not allowed in the barn at any time, including booth monitor speakers or subwoofers. Outdoor electrical outlets are located in the barn, on the ceremony arbor, and an extension cord is available on the southwest corner of the Pavilion.

    We do not provide ladders, step stools, or additional extension cords; anyone using such items does so at their own risk. DJs must be packed up and ready for departure by 11PM.

  • Ceremony Patio: There is a DJ booth with a dedicated electrical circuit (4-gang) next to the barn in the Ceremony Patio. You will need to bring your own speakers and microphones.

    The Pavilion: Used for cocktail hour or ceremony (during inclement weather). You will need to bring your own speakers and table (if necessary, or you can have the client rent one from us).

    The Barn: Used for dinner reception. A booth (to your immediate left when walking in to the barn) is provided for you where your controller/mixer will plug into the TRB owned amplifier via 2 XLR plugs.

  • Live music is permitted for the ceremony and cocktail hour until 6:30PM. Live music with 3 or less musicians may be amplified.

    If tables or a sun shade are required, the client can rent from us or you may bring your own.

    Bands are not allowed during the reception.

  • Use of the barn speaker system is required per the Tin Roof Barn Conditional Use Permit authorized by Klickitat County. The Client has agreed via the venue contract that should modifications to the system be discovered by Tin Roof Barn staff, the Client will be notified and charged a fine of $500.

    The amplifier has 2 XLR inputs for connecting the controller/mixer. The amplifier controls 4 zones throughout the barn. We do not recommend using the microphone inputs - they do not allow the microphone sound level to be adjusted and are very quiet. Plug microphones into your controller/mixer for best sound. You may need to adjust the sound on your controller/mixer in order to increase the sound level through the speaker system.

  • We do not provide surge protectors so please bring your own to protect your equipment and allow for additional electrical sockets.

    We do not provide extension cords. You must bring a rug or cover for any extension cords or electrical cords that are set in a movement area. Do not use duct tape or any tape that will leave a residue to cover or attach the cords.

    • Ceremony - there is a 4-gang outdoor outlet on the side of the barn behind the DJ booth. Please replace the cover when you are finished using it. There is also a 4-gang outlet on the west arbor pole (left, if looking at it) if needed for wireless or lapel microphones.

    • Cocktail hour - there is an electrical cord on the SW corner of the Pavilion. Please bring a surge protector if you need more outlets - we only have the one electrical cord available (outlets are out of arms-reach).

    • Barn - there is a 4-gang outlet underneath the amplifier in the DJ booth with 3 sockets available.

  • Follow posted instructions for shutting down the barn amplifier system.

    DJs must be packed up and ready for departure by 11PM.

10. Floral

 
  • The Barn is not a floral workspace. Ensure all cutting/arranging is done outside in the loading area. We do not provide work tables; please bring your own folding table for processing and arranging florals. Water is available in the Catering Room to fill vases.

    Tin Roof Barn does not provide step stools, ladders, vases, floral storage, or floral disposal. You will need to bring and use stools and ladders at your own risk. All floral decoration must be removed from the venue by 11pm.

    We do not recommend loose garlands due to wind gusts. Wine Barrel Toppers or other outdoor floral arrangements must be in very heavy, wind-proof containers.

    DO NOT USE FLORAL TACK ON WINE TABLES, FURNITURE, OR STRUCTURES.

  • Florists/DIYers, please bring a fold up table if you need to arrange flowers on-site. The table must be set up in the loading area behind the barn - we do not allow cutting or arranging inside the barn. Bring a trash bag and remove all cuttings from the venue - DO NOT put cuttings into the wine barrel trash cans as they will rip the garbage bags and create a huge mess for the Caterers.

  • Without a professional Florist, the Client must arrange for floral setup, breakdown, and disposal either through friends and family or the coordination team.

    If you are completing floral arrangements for the bride and groom, all florals must be dropped off in ready-to- display arrangements or arranged outside in the loading area. Cutting and arranging florals is not allowed inside the barn.

  • TRB does not supply ladders and any installment requiring thee will have to be through an insured florist or vendor.

    For the ceremony, there are hooks located between the upper horizontal boards for installments on the arbor. Do not wrap cloth, greenery, or floral around the upper horizontal boards. Arbor installments must be removed by 7:30pm due to lack of lighting.

    Wire, twine, and zip ties are the only authorized way to secure installments. Do not use any tacks, nails, staples, glue, tape, etc to secure installments.

    Please bring headlamps for outdoor breakdown as most areas are not well-lit.

  • We find that guests typically do not take centerpieces or other floral arrangements with them on departure, even when gifted by the Bride & Groom. If this is the plan, ensure there is also a plan for disposal at the end of the night for items not taken.

    The Client will need to arrange for a truck or van with enough space for all the florals if the Florist is not responsible for breakdown.

    Not sure what to do with them? Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital (810 12th St., Hood River, OR) can take them as donations between 9am-4pm every day. There are also various assisted living centers in the area that would be happy to accept them as donations.

    All items must be removed from the venue either by the florist, the Coordination Team (if contracted to do so), or the Client by checkout.

  • You will need to add setup/breakdown/cleanup and disposal or removal of florals in your contract with the Client.

    Any installments that need to be taken down, or floral pieces they do not want to take with them must be included in disposal and removal.

    Tin Roof Barn staff will not remove or cleanup floral pieces and installments without the Client receiving a penalty charge for expedited removal and disposal.

11. Photo booths & busses

 
  • Tin Roof Barn has electrical outlets, but you may need to bring additional extension cords, surge protectors and rugs to cover any cords that are on the ground in movement areas.

    TRB does not have 50amp outlets

    • Barn - Should the Client wish the Photo Booth to be located in the barn and they do not have much space due to guest count, you may set up where the pink chairs are located at the front of the barn. Please contact Tin Roof Barn in advance to remove the chairs.

    • Pavilion - There is an extension cord in each corner of the Pavilion to connect a surge protector.

    • The Roundabout - We cannot allow vehicles in the windmill meadow due to extensive irrigation and sprinkler heads throughout. Since the roundabout is also a fire lane, you’ll need to park either parallel to the two fir trees, with the front of the bus facing North, or in the space between the fir trees and the walnut tree.

    • Parking Spot next to the Pavilion - This space is dedicated for photo busses or trailers and there is an electrical outlet on the back side of the wood panels.

12. Photography

 
    • If furniture is moved for photo ops, please return to its original location.

    • Do not move furniture outdoors.

    • Stay within venue limits (see below).

    • We do not provide ladders or step stools and anyone using them assumes responsibility for their own safety.

  • The venue itself is quite small and surrounded by private property - do not cross any boundary line/fence/etc or you will be considered trespassing! The neighboring orchard and forest is not accessible. The White Salmon river is not accessible. Do not climb into the hay lofts of the barn. If using the Special Access areas, do not go beyond posted “NO TRESPASSING” signs.

  • Accessible areas for photography/videography include the barn, ceremony patio, pavilion, guest house, barn courtyard, the meadow directly west of the courtyard (where the windmill is located), and grassy area directly behind the ceremony patio (orchard as backdrop).

  • Photographers/Videographers have permission from the property owners to allow the photographer, videographer bride and groom, and wedding party to take pictures in the fields and forest via two areas:

    • the path on the north side of the field that borders the orchard

    • the private driveway off of Birddog Road. To access the forest area via Birddog Rd, follow the gravel road straight past the yellow sign that says “Private Drive” Do not proceed beyond the “No Trespassing” sign as this is a PRIVATE RESIDENCE and the occupant may contact the sheriff if you violate this restricted access area.

    Be aware of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, fleas and ticks if going into the forest as they are prolific in this area. Please be courteous as these areas are not venue property but private property that is being offered for photography purposes. See Venue Perimeter image at the beginning of this document for property lines.

13. Rentals

 
  • Rentals should be dropped off in the morning on the day-of and picked up by 12pm on the day-after. If a drop-off or pickup time is outside this window, please contact Kelly. Tin Roof Barn staff does not assist with rental setup or breakdown.

    Magpie’s Nest rentals are located onsite at Tin Roof Barn and do not require coordination for drop-off or pickup.

  • There are two dropoff/pickup locations

    • the roundabout in front of the barn for items that will be used in either the barn courtyard

    or in the covered Pavilion

    • the loading area to the rear of the barn for items that will be used in the barn itself

  • The venue is not secured at night and does not provide any form of security. Leaving items overnight at Tin Roof Barn will be at your own risk. Tin Roof Barn LLC and Lane Smith Family Trust are not responsible for any damage, theft, or loss that may occur to items during the time they are on the venue property.

  • Do not place items in landscaped areas. All outdoor items must be placed on the sidewalks and hardscape patio areas. Do not move existing furnishings.

    Furniture rentals need to be placed in the barn or pavilion if being left overnight to avoid water damage from sprinklers.

    • Do not move TRB furniture or rugs unless previously coordinated.

    • Patio heaters, fans, swamp coolers, and air conditioners are allowed.

    • Do not block emergency exits or fire extinguishers.

    • We do not provide extension cords.

14. Transportation

 
  • To get to the venue you will need to either cross into Washington from Oregon via I-84 and the Button Bridge in Hood River or the Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks. Both bridges are extremely narrow and require a $2 cash toll. From Highway 141, the venue access road is 20’ wide and rated for commercial use. The venue is located 1 mile north of the town of Husum. The commercial entrance is on the right, if headed North, at the intersection of Birddog Rd and Hwy 141.ated onsite at Tin Roof Barn and do not require coordination for drop-off or pickup.

  • There is a roundabout in front of the venue that can be used by mid-size shuttle busses.

    Coach and large school busses will need to drop-off/pickup prior to the roundabout as they will not fit around the turn. We recommend stopping in front of the house and letting passengers off next to the sidewalk at the roundabout. Bus can then continue and turn right to park in the bus/oversized vehicle parking area.

    To return for pick-up - continue to exit and return to the venue via Hwy 141 (you’re basically making a loop).

  • Do not park in the roundabout, or in front of the guest house as these are designated fire lanes. Onsite parking must be in the field parking lot or the bus/oversized vehicle parking area. If you do not want to park your vehicle in the field or that portion of the road, you can use the pubic parking area in the town of Husum, 1 mile south of the venue.
