Gorgeous Timber Frame Wedding Pavilion

About This Project

When Mrs. McWhirt from Amissville, VA, sought a venue for her wedding, she refused to settle for any mediocre structure. As soon as she saw the timber frame pavilions from Lancaster County Backyard, she knew it was the perfect fit. This beautiful timber frame pavilion now stands on a balmy plateau on her farm, serving both as a permanent testament to the exquisite event of her wedding and as a venue for many happy memories to come.

Here’s what she has to say about the experience:

I wanted to ride down the hill in a horse and carriage and get married in a chapel by the lake in my backyard. With your help, my dream came true. We didn’t want a simple stick Pavilion that you might see in a park somewhere. We wanted rustic extravagance. And boy did we get it. The beams are gorgeous and they’re sturdy and magnificent. We selected a chapel-like finial and placement for the cupola and installed removable handmade stained glass windows facing the sunset over the lake. It was breathtaking and jaw-dropping for all of our 120 guests.

Since our weekend wedfest, we have enjoyed it for smaller picnic events, for organizing supplies and equipment for trips and moving projects, and the grandkids love to ride their vehicles under the Pavilion. We have plans to install a stone fireplace along the back wall, and the tree swing just outside the entrance is my favorite spot on the entire property. The blue roof and the open gables are the perfect enhancement to the natural beauty of the Shenandoah mountains.

We can’t say enough about how impressed we continue to be every time we look at it and remember how four young men put it together by hand in two and a half days. I was a bride under a deadline and the weather was not cooperating. They were knowledgeable and tenacious and their work ethic is unmatched. our contractors couldn’t do anything but stand there and stare in wonder and amazement as they hand walked each and every truss across our property to ensure they didn’t tear up the soft ground. They were playful and joyful as they worked together better than any team our general contractor had ever witnessed. It was truly a pleasure from beginning to finish and you are all welcome to come visit Bella Rose Haven anytime.

Thank you so very much from our family to yours, for generations to come.
