What can I say, this place is perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Everything from the location to the staff were just amazing!

Ford's Colony is such a beautiful venue and the staff is fantastic! Audrey was extremely helpful throughout the planning of the event and Ford's Colony was able to fulfill all of our needs. The price even ended up being less than we thought it would in the end! I would recommend them to anyone!

My reception was lovely, the room set up exactly how I wanted. The staff was great, but not on top of things as much as I would have wanted. I would suggest if you don't have a wedding coordinator to have someone who at the beginning of the reception talks to the staff and is clear on the schedule of events you want. The food was okay, not spectacular but not bad. The room made it worth it. I was in the banquet room, it was perfect for dim lighting and candles.

The team at Ford's Colony is great! They took care of everything we asked for, were pleasant and professional, and made sure we were comfortable. The 3.5 stars for responsiveness is for a slight delay in email responses.

The managers went above and beyond for us, making sure everything was done to our specification. The staff was professional and a pleasure to work with. The venue was gorgeous in Spring.

Had some issues when I first went to Ford's Colony to reserve my date and it wasn't until Colm Kelly and Brittany Lampe took over. Ran into another snag when we showed up to decorate the day before as well but things were taken care of quickly! The food was EXCELLENT! The stuffed french toast and the salmon were outstanding! Our family and friends had a blast and thought everything was beautiful. Thank you so much Colm and Brittany!!!!

I had a bad experience up until two months before my wedding. Finally, they hired Colm Kelly and a new catering manager to take over for my wedding reception, which had gotten lost in the shuffle and wasn't planned. The managers and staff, after this change, where amazing to work with. We received first class service and the venue (Garden Pavilion) was gorgeous.

This venue was a great location and value, but the staff was very unprofessional and inexperienced. If you use this venue you should definitely have a wedding planner like I did. This was a gorgeous location and the pavilion was large enough to accommodate our large wedding with a dance floor and lounge. I highly recommend this venue if you have a good planner by your side.

My experience with them started off as a nightmare. Right from the start, nobody would call me back. I called and emailed them several times over a course of a couple of months, and nobody responded. I finally went there in person without an appointment to figure out what was going on. They told me that the business had been sold, so there had been a changeover with the director of catering. The new dîrector guaranteed us that it would be better, and agreed to waive some fees, so we decided to move forward. Big mistake. The new director rarely called me back, and it took weeks to get information about one small detail. Over a course of months, I made very little progress on planning because of lack of responsiveness. She responded less and less, and finally not at all. I eventually got an automated email reply from her email saying she no longer worked there, and this was only a couple months before my wedding!! After weeks of hardly any information, I finally found out that they hired a new director. She was much more helpful and knowledgeable. However, there were a lot of bumps, as the former director had given me TONS of incorrect information. I had previously been told that I would be able to change the tables out for round tables, and she now told me that this was not feasible due to space. I finally had to contact a friend who worked at ANOTHER venue, and she drew up plans for the table setup. The wedding day was actually very beautiful, and the food was delicious. Overall it was a success in the end, and everything was how I wanted it, but even the wedding day service was not great. The director never came upstairs to help my friend set up, the staff took away people's food before they were finished, and our guests were never offered a choice of wedding cake flavors (which I requested specifically - even as the bride, I did not get the flavor I wanted). Beautiful setting, great food, nightmarish service.
