October Wedding

Almquist Farm is amazing! They made my special day even more special! The grounds look beautiful with the rolling hills and easy access to the outdoor ceremony space. The cenue in general does not need much for decorations. We had a nice bonfire going layer in the night that everyone started to make their way our there. And the goats were a big hit for everyone including the kids. The bridal building is perfect, the only negative was not a lot of natural light for the makeup artist in the one room but we made it work just had to keep the grooms away from that side of the building until my makeup was done which made it a fun game and had lots of laugh during that. Paul was great to talk to and helped us with the initial tour and when we came in the first Wednesday of each month he helped alot when we game in with questions he was able to answer them with ease. If I had to do my wedding all over again I would pick almquist Farm everytime! Very professional and family oriented and they really strive to make sure you have a perfect venue for your special day.

So Much More than Pictures Show

This place is absolutely amazing and the pictures that are shown online only capture a glimpse of what it actually looks like and the shear size and space of everything. Paul and Kari are great to work with and respond very quickly to questions. This place was worth every cent spent!

Amazing location for a wedding

Almquist Farms is a beautiful location to host an outdoor or indoor wedding. Paul and Kari went out of their way to ensure every detail for our kids’ wedding was covered. Paul and Kari were so accommodating and flexible in the wedding planning. This location has everything you need. Lots of space for outdoor and indoor reception seating, goats and chickens to feed, beautiful outdoor altar at the top of a picturesque pasture, lots of room for games and outdoor activities, and a super friendly staff that ensures your guests are talking about the amazing wedding they attended for years to come.
