Barn Ceremony at Sussex County Fairgrounds

The ceremony took place in an open-air barn at Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, New Jersey. Panels of airy linen used to delineate the ceremony space and a chandelier draped in brilliant green foliage gave the expansive barn a note of whimsy and an ethereal flair. Seats were arranged in a semicircle to create a more intimate atmosphere, and the sound of an acoustic guitar set the tone as guests began to arrive. “After the ceremony, Mike and I walked up the aisle to the Blues Brothers’ ‘Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.’ It was happy and hilarious—it’s one of my favorite memories of the day,” Kate says.
