A magical escape

Truly a special place! I could tell from first visiting even in the dead of winter that it was a beautiful, special location. The goats, ducks, chickens, friendly farm cat, serene scenery—I highly recommend.

Perfect Last Minute Wedding Venue!

My husband and I had to make last minute changes to our wedding plans and happened upon Ballenger Farm on Airbnb. From there, everything seemed to fall into place. Our families stayed at the farmhouse, which was beautiful and very homey. It had everything we needed to prepare for our little wedding ceremony and reception. Liz let us use the arch and gave us leaves and flowers to help decorate it. We set up chairs and made a little aisle in the courtyard to walk down. We brought a tent to set up that we had a little reception under by the pond. Everything was absolutely perfect! Our guests loved visiting with the animals on the property and it was very private and intimate. Liz was super flexible and supportive throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. She was determined to help us make our wedding day perfect and it was! We are so grateful to Liz and her parents at Ballenger Farm for their hospitality and generosity. Definitely recommend this venue to all future brides!

Wonderful country spot. Wonderful people.

First of all, the space is gorgeous no matter what time of year you are looking at. We had our wedding in late September and it was the perfect temperature and humidity. And there were no bugs. Elizabeth was extremely accommodating with the timing of the dropoff/pickup of the rentals and got very excited for all our little touches like wine barrels coming in from a local winery. She coordinated with our photographer for a site visit. She and her family truly love to allow sweet, small ceremonies on their beautiful property.
