About

Bishop Farmstead is a barn and farm wedding venue located in Southampton, New Jersey. An ideal place to host both your ceremony and reception, it has a cozy, yet spacious, barn setting as well as a great deal of outdoor areas for celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

From the outside, there is a great deal to admire. The beautiful farmhouse with its garden, plants, and hedging creates a lush, laid-back feel. The tall trees, shrubbery, and green spaces help to create a natural wonderland perfect for newlyweds strolls, summertime al fresco dining, or cocktails.

There is a place for the couple of honor to celebrate their ceremony, right on the edge of a field of wildflowers, under an elegant, custom wood pergola. Guests are invited to gather to mark the moment when your union becomes official as your say your vowels in matrimony.

Undoubtedly, the venue’s big red barn is the jewel in the crown of this property. With ample space for hosting your reception, it offers large vaulted ceilings, beautiful dark wood, exposed ceiling beams, and rustic charm. Here, 175 guests can be accommodated, along with a spacious sized dance floor. Long farm tables with elegant, industrial-inspired chairs, provide a great deal of comfort for everyone to relax, enjoy the day, and sink into the atmosphere that has been cultivated. Hanging lampshade lights, fairy lights, and a show-stopping chandelier, offer a dimmable feature to create a suitably romantic atmosphere.

Services Offered

Conveniently, Bishop Farmstead includes an "exclusive" full service catering team. An event planner is also readily available to step in and assist with any coordination issues the couple might have, taking away some of the stress and responsibility from the couple, and leaving them to get lost in the emotion and unforgettable wonder. Event rentals, lighting, sound, and get-ready rooms are available, while the staff can provide cleanup and setup services for before and after the wedding.

History

The farmhouse at Bishop Farmstead was originally constructed back in the 18th century, while the big red barn came into existence after it was built in 1932. These spaces have been around for a long time, and they each have rich and colorful pasts. However, for the happy couple, the most important piece of the history here will surely be the day they got married. You could very well be the next couple to do so here.

Best Barn Venue & Caterer

First off Bishop Farmstead is just beautiful. The barn has great aesthetic and is the perfect rustic venue. This is a great central location with so much beauty. The grounds are well kept and maintained by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. PPA staff were courteous and a pleasure to speak with. We even stopped to chat with the people at the PPA crop share. JAM Catering staff were incredible. Danielle made every planning step simple easy and seamless. Danielle and the rest of the JAM staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect. As for the food and the cake, we still get compliments from our guests about how the meal was delicious and our guests enjoyed every bite. Definitely a must see venue.

Bishop wedding!

My wedding at Bishop farmstead was nothing short of perfection. The food, the space, and the details were all nailed down to a T. Our wedding planners Gina & Kayla made sure this day from the first day of planning to the big day met and exceeded all of my expectations. They ensured everything looked perfect as well as ran so so smoothly. They worked with our budget and responded so quickly to every question. They went above and beyond to create a magical day that we will NEVER forget. I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Best day ever!!

Our special day at Bishop Farmstead was better than we could’ve imagined. Everything was so seamless, the space was so accommodating to all of our guests, utilizing both the indoor and outdoor spaces and the upstairs and downstairs areas of the barn. JAM catering wowed us and our guests! Everyone still talks about the cheesesteak egg rolls, red dragon tofu, and short ribs. And last but certainly not least was Kayla- our wildly talented coordinator. She was so kind, patient, reassuring, and helpful and ensured everything was perfect down to the last detail. We couldn’t recommend JAM, Bishop Farmstead, and Kayla enough to anyone looking to start planning their wedding!! ❤️

One stop shop wedding venue and caterer with no compromises

Picking a wedding venue and caterer are probably 2 of the biggest decisions you will make in your life. Luckily with Bishop Farmstead and Jam Catering you get a one stop shop that delivers. From day 1 when we inquired until the end of our event the staff was nothing short of phenomenal. Gina Borton was our event planner and she held our hand all of the way. If I emailed or texted a question or concern, I would have responses so timely, sometimes in the middle of then night! When the big day finally came Gina and the assistant coordinator Kayla had us running like clockwork. I truly cannot thank them enough for making the biggest day in me and wife’s lives so stress free and seamless.
The process of planning a wedding can be daunting but when you can literally have your ceremony and reception at the same venue in different areas its a lot less stressful. JAM catering and Bishop Farmstead is really a good match that will leave you nothing short of amazed.

Our Perfect Day

We had a fantastic experience planning our wedding with JAM at Bishop Farmstead! From the beginning, they made us feel so comfortable and took care of all the little details that we didn't even think to ask about. Throughout the day, Gina and Julia and all the JAM staff made sure that not only we were having a good time, but also that all the guests were enjoying themselves. We could not have asked for a better partner in making sure our wedding was exactly what we envisioned. Thank you for everything!

Erika & JAM Were Everything We Needed!

We had the absolute best experience working with JAM for our June 6th wedding at Bishop Farmstead! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and so thoughtfully curated. Every detail felt personalized to us as a couple, and it was clear how much care and intention went into bringing our vision to life.

A huge shoutout to our wedding coordinator, Erika — she was truly the glue that held everything together! Her incredible attention to detail, calm presence, and open communication made the entire process feel easy and even enjoyable. We trusted her completely, and she delivered above and beyond.

A month later, our guests are still raving about our wedding — and we owe so much of that to the JAM team. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Pure Magic

If you are looking for the perfect indoor and outdoor experience with a wow factor included... Look no further! Bishop offers a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, tented cocktail area and magnificent (and I do mean magically magnificent) upstairs barn dining area complete with farm tables! From first walk through to planning and day of coordination, it was an experience like no other (and I used to work as a planner for 11 years). Gina and her assistant Kayla made the entire process so easy. She put my wife and I at ease as we navigated the paperwork and details. She offered suggestions and really helped our vision for the perfect day come true. I was able to trust that she would treat my dream as her own and make it a reality. And when the hours were late and I had a questions or worries, she was right there with a "don't worry, it will be ok" and answered me within minutes to reassure me that it was being handled or offer solutions. Both her and Kayla on the day were top tier helping to set up tables such as our family photos, making it look absolutely beautiful. The food... Phenomenal!! Our families are still raving about the food quality and presentation. Shout out to the tomahawk steak chef and the Bennet station chef!! Guests were thoroughly impressed. And even at the end of the evening, Gina letting my bride borrow her slides so she could walk to the car quickly! Just so sweet! Food AMAZING, staff incredibly professional and fabulous, a photographers dream to shoot at with so many garden areas, and our planer... Gina will always hold a special place in our heart!
