The Perfect Rustic Elegant Venue!

Erin is the best wedding coordinator in the world. It rained like crazy for twelve hours straight and it still couldn’t dampen the amazing time we had at our wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous!
Even with the downpour, our guests all commented on how lovely the venue was and the indoor ceremony was still just as perfect. I can’t say enough good things about how Erin & her team worked their absolute butts off to make adjustments due to the crazy rain, and they were positive and smiling the whole time. Erin made sure everything ran smoothly - it was gorgeous, the food was great (even better than the tasting!!) and the logistics of the day were so well-managed and efficient. The team truly went above & beyond for us and we felt so special; everyone really cared about giving us the best day possible and you could just tell that that they really love their jobs. We can’t say enough good things about this place and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Beautiful venue!

Ashely farms couldn’t have been more perfect!
Erin was just amazing! From when we met her for the first time to go over wedding details. To the big day!
If you want a farm wedding this should be your venue! The food was amazing, they set up everything for you!!
They really are amazing!!!
One of the best parts is that they have an outside and inside venue for the ceremony. They also let us have our sweet dog be a part of our wedding! Thank you guys for giving us the best wedding day ever!!

Beautiful venue, great staff

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Ashley Farm and was very impressed by my experience! As a wedding photographer, I shoot at new venues every weekend and I notice when it's all being done so right and make a note if I would like to shoot there again -- and yes, I would love to shoot here again! Obviously this place is gorgeous but more importantly, it's being run so well. The staff at Ashley Farms was friendly, calm, professional and above all, very informative and helpful. So often I work at venues and feel that there is no one around to ask questions of or just be a logistical touch point and that was so not a problem for me at Ashley Farm! The coordinator for the day, Amanda, saved me a lot of time and was able to answer my questions and meet my needs so that I didn't have to constantly bug my bride and groom which made the whole day flow wonderfully. The day I worked there also had pretty poor weather and Amanda and her staff went above and beyond to make sure the wedding couple, guests and vendors stayed as dry and comfortable as possible. If you want to not only have your wedding in a scenic little oasis with lots of indoor and outdoor options for hanging out and photo ops but also want a seamless experience, I definitely recommend Ashley Farm!

The BEST Venue and Staff!!

Ashley Farm exceeded all our expectations! There are no words to describe how incredible both the venue and staff are. For starters, the venue itself is just breathtaking! Walking into the barn truly gave us that fairytale feeling! Many of our guests mentioned to us that this is the most beautiful venue they have ever been to. There are endless spots to take photographs, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together! The food was delicious! They did an amazing job setting up all our decorations! From getting ready in the adorable bridal suite, to ending the night with smores at the bonfire- the whole day went perfectly! The staff, and the family who owns the farm, are just as incredible! The two coordinators, Ashley and Amanda were both so kind, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. The day of the wedding went perfectly thanks to the entire staff at Ashley Farm. They worked together seamlessly, and were so organized and on top of everything. We primarily worked with Amanda, and she was the BEST coordinator! She promptly answered all of our questions leading up, and kept everything running smoothly the day of. She was there every step of the way, and was always so friendly and helpful. She really paid attention to every little detail! She even worked with us on tweaking the bar menu so that we could add White Claws to our package! We were so grateful to have her help! The most amazing part was how accommodating they were. My husband and I booked our wedding for 2018, and that year I became very sick. It took months for us to figure out, and the entire time we were in communication with Ashley & Amanda, and they were SO understanding and empathetic to our situation. They told us not to stress- they’d hold both our original wedding date, and one for the next year, until we figured it all out. We did end up having to postpone our wedding, and they not only let us reschedule, but they even put our original down payment towards our new date, AND honored all of the 2018 menu pricing. I can’t even begin to tell you how much that meant to us. I don’t know that any other venue would have done that.. they were so wonderful to work with, and we were truly blown away by their kindness towards us during an already difficult time. Choosing Ashley Farm was the best decision that we could have made. We could not recommend them enough!! You will NOT be disappointed! I can only hope every couple gets to have the amazing “dream wedding” that we did with this venue. Thank you Ashley Farm!!!

Incredible

Our wedding was AMAZING. As soon as we walked onto the property, we knew we wanted to be married here. The grounds are beautiful and everyone we worked with was so patient and easy going. We primarily worked with Rachel Boone and she was the sweetest, most kind person and made the entire process easy for us. She decorated our reception in the most perfect way and made sure everything went smoothly day of. The staff worked hard and made everything perfect. I could not have been happier with our choice to be married on Ashley farm and I would 100% recommend it to anyone. I wish we could do it again!

An Unforgettable Venue

This venue is stunning. It is hands down worth every penny. This is the best price around the area compared to other rustic barn venues. Amanda, our coordinator, did an excellent job decorating and accommodating on our very rainy wedding day. We are so glad that we chose this venue. We have so many memories and so many compliments on our special day.

Pure Country Serenity

This venue has it all!
The whole homestead was at our disposal and provided the most organic and naturally beautiful backdrops for photos and privacy from the hustle and bustle in the city. My guests were enamored with the natural beauty and the magic of fireflies coming out in the early evening.
Amanda with whom I planned out my big day was incredibly helpful, flexible, and willing to go the extra mile to find details and things to help make our day perfection. I was able to relay my vision easily, and the final product on the day-of left both my husband and I overcome with gratitude and happiness. I was able to completely trust in the staff and particularly Amanda's ability to translate my dreamy vision. She is extraordinary and I could not have asked for a better partner to work with. If I had to do it all over again, I would have skipped the look around at other venues and just jumped straight to Ashley Farm, it was worth every penny and embodied us as both a couple and our vision for our big day.
In the end I was able to relax, enjoy my day, and not care about anything other having a good time with my new husband.
