The venue features a stunning climate controlled post-and-beam barn, outdoor (or indoor) ceremony & cocktail locations, gorgeous custom lighting inside and out, high end wooden farm tables and chairs and a staff to do all the setup & cleanup and day of assistance.

The barn & grounds delight visitors with flowers and natural landscaping flowing around the barn & grounds.
Facilities and Capacity
All spaces can comfortably accommodate events of all sizes from 25 to 180 guests.
The Sablewood is named for its sable (black) exterior, which gives way to another world when stepping into the bright sun drenched interior. Inside couples can share their first dance under the 12-foot wide, 1920s chandelier with all custom lighting throughout.
The venue includes indoor and outdoor options for ceremony and covered cocktail hour in case of inclement weather with our NEW white barn, "The Charlington"! The Charlington stands next to the Sablewood and is also fully climate controlled with stunning 26' high ceilings, custom scissor trusses and handmade french country chandeliers. The Charlington is another "Plan A" in case of inclement weather for an indoor ceremony and covered cocktail hour on the bluestone veranda facing the mountains.

Dream Venue
But it’s really Lisa and the Sablewood crew that set this place apart. Lisa works with you through the entire planning process, offering a detailed preferred vendor list as well as suggestions on decor (if you’re like me and not sure how to go about decorating for a wedding). Day of the wedding, there was no need to hire a day of coordinator - Lisa and her team did everything. She took my boxes of decorations and said she’d take care of the rest. Her and her team put out all of our decor (so much better than I could have done myself) and even added to our florals to enhance the look of our ceremony space. She greeted and organized every vendor - everything just came together as I sat up in the bridal suite drinking champagne. When we went up to the pond for our first look, us and our photographer were driven up by The Sablewood crew. While we did that, Lisa took our wedding party to the ceremony space and went through a rehearsal with them so they knew exactly what to do. The Sablewood greeted our guests when they arrived and ushered them into our ceremony space. For the ceremony, she organized everyone and spaced people out. Immediately after the ceremony, her team was there with their car to drive us and our photographers up to the top of the property for the most amazing golden hour pictures. At the end of the night, Lisa and her team helped pack everything up so that clean up was done in less than a half hour. Honestly, they probably did so much more behind the scenes that day that I don’t know about but suffice it to say that The Sablewood is not only an amazing venue but it is owned and operated by an even more amazing set of individuals who will make your wedding day truly wonderful.
