A dedicated, furnished space for the guys - not an afterthought. The masculine design provides good variety from the bridal suite.

Photographer Tips
Intimate Size is a Feature
With a 100-guest capacity, Brannan's Barn is designed for intimate celebrations. Every guest truly matters, and the close atmosphere photographs beautifully - no lost faces in a crowd.
Climate Control is Key
Florida weather is unpredictable, but the barn's central heat and AC means comfort regardless of the forecast. The rustic aesthetic without the rustic discomfort.
Everything is Included
Round tables, white chairs, linens, serving dishes, altar arch, ceremony seating - it's all included. You don't need to rent basics, which simplifies planning and budget.
BYO Vendors = Full Control
Bring your own caterer, bartender, DJ, and vendors. This flexibility lets you create exactly the day you want without package restrictions.
Pet-Friendly Bonus
Your furry family member can be part of the day. Pet-friendly venues aren't common, so this is a nice perk for animal lovers.
Planning Your Timeline at Brannan's Barn
We don't publish generic sample timelines because they're useless without knowing your wedding date. Here's why:
A 5pm ceremony works beautifully in summer but means portraits in the dark in winter. Your timeline needs to be built around your actual date and what matters most to you.
Light at Brannan's Barn
Natural light varies throughout the day. We recommend discussing specific timing based on your ceremony location and time of year.
Time for Photos
We recommend 45-60 minutes for portraits at Brannan's Barn, covering the ceremony area, reception space, and grounds.
Timeline Strategies
Sunset Portraits
Want that golden hour magic? We work backwards from sunset. Ceremony ends 60-90 minutes before, giving time for family photos, couple portraits, and catching the best light.
Brunch or Daytime
Morning ceremonies and daytime receptions mean lots of beautiful natural light all day. Great for summer when afternoons can get pretty warm.
Venue Timing Notes
- Music curfew at Midnight (Fri/Sat), 11pm (Sun)
