FAMILY. LOVE. WEDDINGS. FLOWERS. DECORATIONS. PLANNING. BARN SALES. GYPSYMOON MARKETPLACE.
These words describe the things that we know, love, and are surrounded by on a daily basis. But Highland Stables was not always filled with Brides & Joanna Gaines inspired decorations.
Our charming venue has a beautiful and unique love story of its' own. Originally designed as a fully functioning horse stables, it was built in 2000 as an equine boarding and training facility. Our venue, which sits on our 168 acre family farm was built with love by Angie's father-in-law, Charles Mosley as a gift to his wife, Betty, to celebrate her life-long love of horses. During the years it was a training facility, Highland Stables hosted numerous events such as horse shows, charity events including an amazing event called Denim and Diamonds, and even a few weddings- including mine (Whitnee)
As life happens, transitions occur and even though our love of horses will never fade, it was time for Highland Stables to embark on a new journey. It wasn't until September 2014, that we decided to transition Highland Stables into a full time event and wedding venue.
Throughout our journey at Highland Stables, we have been able to see trends come and go, meet new and interesting people, make mistakes and learn from them, all while balancing life as a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law duo! We live interesting lives and are surrounded by so many beautiful people and things that we want to be able to share it all with you. We are incredibly excited to embark on this journey of sharing all things Highland Stables and weddings with you- bridal profiles, vendor profiles, tips & tricks, behind-the-scenes stuff, and so much more!
