Looking to add a warm, interactive touch to your celebration? A s’mores station by the fire pit is the perfect way to do it. At Union 12, our outdoor fire pit is the ideal spot for guests to roast marshmallows, enjoy a classic treat, or just hang out and relax.
With a cozy, laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect addition to your evening, whether it’s a fun snack during cocktail hour or a memorable way to close out the night.
2. Sparkler Exit Out the Front Entrance β¨
One of the most memorable ways to end your wedding day is with a sparkling exit. Imagine walking hand-in-hand out of Union 12, surrounded by your guests holding sparklers, creating a glowing farewell as you make your exit.
This unique send-off creates a beautiful, photo-worthy moment, marking the end of your wedding celebration with a memory to cherish.
3. Lawn Games: Cornhole and More π―

At Union 12, we’ve got the space to make it happen. With over 20 acres of space, including a covered back porch, there’s more than enough room to set up lawn games that perfectly complement the vibe of your event.
4. Food Trucks in Our Circle Drive ππ΄

It’s a great way to personalize the experience and give your guests something they’ll be talking about long after the night ends.
6. A Cozy Lounge Area for Guests to Relax ποΈ
Create a cozy, comfortable lounge area where guests can take a break, catch up, or just step away from the music for a bit. Think casual seating with a mix of chairs, sofas, and soft lighting — whether it’s a vintage setup or something more minimal and modern, it’s all about creating a space that fits your style.
This kind of setup works great outside or inside our side room, giving your guests a relaxed spot to hang out without leaving the celebration. It’s a simple detail that can make your space feel more intentional and balanced.

For a truly grand exit, consider leaving your wedding in style with a vintage car or horse-drawn carriage. The stunning front entrance of Union 12 makes it the perfect location for a classic getaway car or a romantic carriage ride, offering a memorable photo op and a stylish way to end your celebration.
