Weddings at Juliane James Place are fun. Really fun.  

We created Juliane James Place for those who always envisioned a wedding in nature, for those who just started thinking about their wedding for the first time, and for those who didn't think weddings were for them. And also, because weddings are big fun.

We're into transparency at JJP. We know choosing a venue involves vetting a ton of information. Here you'll find quick facts, info on what's included, photos of real weddings, and pricing info. If you'd like more info after taking a look, hit us up via the Contact page or at info@julianejames.com.

 
 

A few things of note to know, if you want to know if we are your venue

We host weddings from June - October.

We limit wedding bookings to 15 a year.

We tour for and book weddings all year round. Tours are available by appointment. We do not do tours on Sundays during football season. 

We host weddings of up to 150 guests - invite less than 180 of your nearest and dearest and you're golden. *We abide by any and all state regulations related to capacity.

Couples are encouraged to bring dogs. 

We keep the address unlisted for privacy.

We require guests to take buses to and from the property. Guests love it once they realize you're bringing them into the middle of the woods. And we all love not worrying about folks drinking and driving and dodging deer and foxes. 

Couple's purchase their own alcohol, and hire bartenders from Liquid Motion to serve it. We believe weddings should have beer, wine, and liquor, if that's what you're into.  

You can choose a caterer from our list of pre-approved caterers including:

We try to kill every last mosquito (without harming bees)
