The Syrup Mill at Mason Farms in Tallassee provided the perfect backdrop of rustic beauty for the Nov. 12 marriage of Kayla Syck and Matthew Drost. Although The Syrup Mill is located less than 10 minutes from her home, Syck said she had never noticed the location until her mother-in-law saw the sign one day and told Syck she should probably check on it as the wedding location.
An avid horsewoman, Syck knew a pasture and barn would be her dream wedding location, and The Syrup Mill fit the bill perfectly.
