Burlap and Beams, shown lit up at dusk, hosts about 20 weddings between May and October each year, according to owner Terri Larson.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Jill Nagy<\/p>\n

Terri Larson has transformed a cluster of barns dating from the 1800s and a large open field with views of Three Sisters Mountain into a romantic venue for summer weddings.<\/p>\n

Her company, called Burlap and Beams<\/a>, hosts about 20 weddings between May and October each year.<\/p>\n

Larson lives in the farmhouse on the property and her day job is as a third grade teacher. However, when school is out, she becomes a wedding entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

She said she got the idea from a friend who asked to use the property for her wedding. The property was not in any shape for a wedding. That ceremony landed elsewhere, but the idea took root.
\nIn addition to the antique barns, the site includes indoor and outdoor dance floors and quieter places for guests to visit. There is space for a bridal suite and for a groom’s room. The landscape includes a bubbling brook and gardens tended by Larson. The usual spot for outdoor ceremonies faces the mountain. The property can handle up to 185 people–and their cars.<\/p>\n

Located in Thurman, the farm is a short drive from Northway Exit 23 and a 10-minute drive from Lake George.<\/p>\n

Part of the attraction she advertises is the proximity to Lake George with its hotels, restaurants, shopping and plenty of activities for guests wanting to add a vacation getaway to their attendance at the wedding.<\/p>\n

Larson has lived at the Thurman farm for 11 years. It is not a working farm, she said and has not been a working farm in living memory. However, the farm buildings, with their hand-hewn wooden beams, have remained in good shape. The buildings have been tweaked and improved over the years.<\/p>\n

Some of the space is lighted with fixtures made from canning jars. Her antiquing activities have resulted in some period furnishings and, recently, she added handmade farm tables to the site. Every year, the venue is a little different, Larson said.<\/p>\n

Larson works with couples on the plans for their weddings. She recommends caterers and photographers, but does not provide those services directly.<\/p>\n

Larson does some advertising and has an online presence but most business comes by word of mouth. She is also a member of the Lake George Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

The property is located at 242 Cameron Road. The telephone number is 366-6694.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
