There are options to rent the barn for the day before your wedding. Friday Weddings can be a lot more flexible than Sunday Weddings! For Friday bookings you can pay a small rental fee and rent the barn for a number of hours for your rehearsal dinner and to have time to set up the venue for your Friday wedding. You may also rent more time after your event so your family and friends can spend time together.

We have established the Preservation Member Association with the goal of preserving and maintaining Crown Rose Estate. To achieve this, we have created a Private Member Association known as CRE Distillery.

The Private Members Association aims to foster close-knit local communities rooted in love, family values, and mutual respect. PMA members enjoy various advantages associated with CRE Distillery, such as access to information, benefits, products, services, and training. The PMA is governed by its members, who possess the right to self-governance and commit to resolving any disputes internally. In return for these benefits.
