About

Bern Farm is an Historical rustic farm venue for weddings and events.

Conveniently located on Rt. 183 in beautiful Berks County, the farm is close to the Blue Marsh Lake, across the road to the Willow Hollow Golf course, and minutes to the famous Goggel Works Art Center.

Our farm is just a short distance from Philadelphia, Lancaster, Hershey & Allentown.

It is the perfect venue for any event, and can accommodate small or large parties.

Our venues include the 1850's federal style house, wedding barn, coach house, barn to be wild, gardens, meadow and open air hay fields.

A ceremony on-site is an option. Your choice of an open air or under roof ceremony.

Bern Farm has gardens with a pond and waterfall, along with historical architecture.

We believe each couple is unique and wants their own special day, and we hope Bern Farm is the place to express themselves.

Call us to schedule a visit to our farm.

100% Amazing

We chose the Bern Farm very early on in the planning process. The kindness and expertise Andrea displayed from day one were amazing. She treated us like real people, not just pushing for us to choose the Bern Farm. Andrea answered all of our questions and had multiple meeting with us to ease our minds. The venue is absolutely stunning and has so many options. The ceremony and reception spaces are so beautifully decorated, we had to bring very little decor in. It rained on our wedding day, but Andrea was sure to not let the weather interfere. The team at the Bern Farm was so professional and kind, we could not have chosen a better venue!

Such a beautiful venue!

We chose the Bern Farm for many reasons including location, ceremony/reception options, price, and friendliness. I can't express enough how beautiful this venue is! Andrea does a wonderful job with this wedding venue. We had many different options on where we could have our ceremony and reception. Our ceremony was outside by the shed, cocktail hour was beneath the barn and reception was in the barn. Everything turned out perfect!!! Andrea was very helpful throughout the planning process and always responded quickly to our questions. We loved having our big day here! Such a beautiful and memorable property! Highly recommend and for the price you really cannot beat it ! you get a lot for your money. Andrea also has decor that you can use at no extra charge which was a huge help and made our event even nicer!

Andrea was our saving grace when our venue plans fell through 4 months before the wedding. She put together an absolutely beautiful ceremony in the barn, and assisted with much of the decor. She was flexible with our preferences and encouraged to visit and contact her with any questions we had. Her responsiveness was impressive- replying on nights and weekends when we were hammering out the details pre-contract. She was a delight to work with and we knew we could trust her with the most important day of our lives. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Fall wedding 2024

I received so many compliments from my guests about this venue. They loved the different spaces we used and how beautiful the property was. We had the ceremony in the pole barn, cocktail hour in the downstairs of the barn and reception in the upstairs part of the barn. I had about 140 guest. There was plenty of room for tables, dance floor, and dinner. Andrea was super helpful. She is very experienced and truly does everything she can to make your day go smoothly. Any questions I had throughout the process she answered very quickly (next business day typically). The only downside of this property is the bathroom situation but I believe they are working on fixing that. Having the whole upstairs of the carriage house to get ready with my girls was also so amazing! Definitely recommend this venue!

Made every aspect of our experience wonderful

Andrea was wonderful and Bern Farm worked with us as we had to postpone with one month left to go because of Covid. For how stressful planning was, and adding in covid changes for our wedding a year later, working with Bern Farm was so easy and Andrea gave us suggestions for vendors as well. We had the best time and everything came together perfectly. Couldn’t say enough good things about our experience.

Absolutely beautiful location, many options for where you want the ceremony and reception! Great place for good pictures, has a lot of space if you are looking to have a decent size wedding. We did have some miscommunication's with them when we got closer to the wedding but they went above and beyond to correct the issues. Price was pretty reasonable for the size of the venue, they are a newer venue so some bumps are to be expected but they have great potential.

Unprofessional

Had previously written a review on how great and beautiful this place was when we booked them for our venue. The place is beautiful, but, they take forever to return your calls or messages, after you pay 5700$ for the venue they then tell you you owe them another 400$ for bathrooms. We were pressured into paying for trash cleanup at 10$/hr for two people. Didn’t hire them but they were their anyway picking up trash and throwing guests drinks away they weren’t finished with. Half of our guests left halfway through the night because they thought the reception was over. They are rude to your guests and will constantly pressure you into doing things her way instead of the way you want it because it’s easier for her. Our guests were kicked out of the downstairs area when we purchased the venue until 10pm. Only one heater downstairs would work so everyone was cold and huddled around that one heater. She will also wait until the groom is not around to try to pressure the bride into paying for anything the groom refused.

literally a nightmare

We were to have our wedding here. Due to COVID we could not. I cancelled Andrea told me she would refund our deposit if she rebooked. I went on our day and sure enough she had another event there. I still have not received my deposit. She won't even return my calls, emails or texts. Very disappointing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
