We are Gifting a Wedding!
Read on to learn more
February was full speed ahead over here at 1860 Schulhaus. We’ve been out meeting so many new couples at wedding shows during peak booking season, and it has been such an energizing few weeks. Hearing your love stories — how you met, how you got engaged, and what you envision for your day — truly never gets old. We are booking wedding after wedding, and every single one feels personal. That’s what makes this season so exciting for us. No two celebrations look the same here because every wedding and every event is thoughtfully curated around you and your guests — your priorities, your people, your vibe. Getting to know you, planning alongside you, welcoming your family and friends into our space, and becoming part of your story is the part we love most. Each event strengthens the little community we’re building here, and we don’t take that lightly.
Cheers,
The 1860 Schulhaus Team
Elopement Package Gift-Away
We’re so excited to finally share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes…
Earlier this month, we offered a gifted elopement experience at 1860 Schulhaus — created in partnership with an incredible group of local vendors who came together to make something truly special.
We received thoughtful, heartfelt applications from couples across multiple states, and narrowing it down was no easy task. Every story meant something, and we’re so grateful to everyone who trusted us with such a personal glimpse into their lives.
We have officially selected our couple, and we are now in the process of bringing their wedding day to life.
This isn’t a styled shoot or a courthouse swap — it’s a real wedding. A beautifully curated, intimate ceremony filled with intentional details, meaningful moments, and the kind of experience that reminds us exactly why we do what we do.
We cannot wait to share more as everything comes together.
Make it stand out
From the Blog: Small doesn’t mean less — it means intentional. If you’re deciding between a micro wedding and an elopement, this quick read will help you find your fit.
Friday Weddings at Sunday Pricing
More couples are discovering one of the smartest booking moves right now — Friday weddings at Sunday-level pricing. You receive the same beautiful ceremony spaces, the same thoughtful planning, and the same intentional experience, but with an entire weekend ahead of you.
Imagine a Friday wedding, Saturday brunch with your guests, and a relaxed Sunday send-off. It transforms your celebration into a full weekend experience without the peak Saturday price tag. If you’re flexible on your date, ask us about Friday availability.

This month we’re highlighting Heather, the talent behind Shadow + Fern Photo. She specializes in intimate weddings and elopements, capturing real, emotional moments in a way that feels natural and timeless — never forced or overly posed.
Heather has a calm, kind presence that makes couples feel completely at ease, and her ability to document the in-between moments is what makes her work so special. We love collaborating with her and are always confident our couples are in great hands when she’s behind the camera.

It’s Wedding Show Season
It’s wedding show season, and we’re officially out meeting couples in real life. If you’re in planning mode, these shows are such a great way to gather ideas, ask questions, and see if a venue truly feels like your style.
Join us on March 1 at the Off White Wedding Show and stop by to say hello. We’d love to hear about your plans and show you why smaller, intentional weddings are having such a moment.
