The event begins with cocktails overlooking a small pond on the site. KBY used a brown and yellow color scheme to melt into the surroundings.

The wedding team was asked the leave the field of barley intact; to do so, they brought in a truck to clear only the section needed to build the ceremony and reception platform.
