Katie - It's always been Katie's dream to run her own wedding venue. After transforming the barn for her own nuptials in 2016, she loves helping other couples bring their dream day to life. With an extensive background in marketing and event planning, Katie is the owner and face of the business. While Arlington Acres is her passion, she's also very busy with her full time job and two adorable sons.

Nancy (Mom) - Nancy grew up on the farm as Arlington's youngest daughter. Her childhood was spent helping her dad with chores, chasing the resident kittens and playing in the hayloft--it was a great place to grow up! Nancy probably spends the most time in the barn of anyone. She spends her "retirement" giving tours, beautifying the grounds, decorating, setting-up, tending to guests needs and keeping an eye on her favorite grandsons. If Katie is the face, Nancy is the heart! This sweet lady is often behind-the-scenes but is the real reason our venue runs so smoothly.

Dave (Dad) - Dave's first memories of the farm date back to 1966 when he started dating his high-school sweetheart, Nancy. He earned Arlington's respect (and ultimately the hand of his daughter) with manual labor. Their "dates" often included stacking hay and picking rocks. He and Nancy made their first home in the small tenant house that still sits across the street. A lawyer, Dave also replaced Arlington as Town Justice of Fabius after Arlington's sudden death in 1977. Today Dave is the resident ceremony officiant, groundskeeper and tour-giver.

Steve (Hubby) - Steve was lucky enough to marry into this dysfunctional family. He wears many hats--handyman, bartender, painter, photographer, landscaper. But Steve is best known for his special projects, like converting the original granary into Arlington Acres signature bar, parking lot lighting and handcrafted wooden vanity in the new bridal suite. He loves finding new uses for the beautiful wood original to the property.

Aunt Carol - Arlington's oldest daughter Carol has owned the farm since 1996. After growing up here, it's been important to her to keep the farm in the family and its hundred-acres intact. She recently returned to the area and enjoys restoring the farmhouse where she now lives full-time. Carol loves having all the "activity" on the farm again. She’s also the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet, and often saves the day by supplying a forgotten supply.

Dan (Brother) - Like all of the Garrett grand-kids, Dan spent weekends on the farm growing up. Exploring the woods, making forts out of hay and eating grandma’s molasses cookies are just a few of his favorite memories. An engineer like his grandfather, Dan is Arlington Acres’ reluctant but talented facilities manager. A certified electrician, he meticulously re-wired and installed new electrical throughout the barn. You’ll most likely find Dan fixing anything that’s broken and cleaning up at the end of the night (perfect for this night owl). His impressive weather station is mounted to the barn roof and provides the most accurate wedding-day forecast around.

Uncle Dick - The youngest of Arlington’s two sons, Dick has never strayed very far from home. He raised his four children on the farm next door, built a new home on the hill adjacent to the property, and now lives in a log cabin across the street. Uncle Dick has a warm heart and an unforgettable presence. He will often stop by to check-in on things, meet our couples and share a story or two about his days on the farm. Dick is also a retired Town Justice and performs wedding ceremonies as well.

Garrett - Named after both of his great-grandfathers, Garrett Lyman is part of the 6th generation on the farm. This little charmer is available as a stand-in ring bearer and is a big help to his parents and grandparents. Born on St. Patrick’s Day in 2017 to Katie & Steve, this is Garrett’s fourth summer on the farm. He loves using the barn as his indoor playground for all his big trucks and toys.
