Absolutely Gorgeous Venue!

The Carroll County Farm Museum is absolutely beautiful!! We just had our fall wedding there and we love everything about the place. I would highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for the farm/rustic venue! And the price is reasonable!

We found the perfect spot for our small, Fall, rustic wedding!

To say we found our Dream Venue would be an understatement. The space is BEAUTIFUL and well maintained! There are many options to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception (we choice the Gazebo in the Rose Garden, Barn Courtyard and Reception Barn) and so many awesome areas to take photos!

Sharon was fantastic to work with, offering advice and accommodating my family and I with all of our requests. Just such a breeze.

The value of this place for what you get is also amazing! Included with our package were places for our Bridal Party to get dressed as well as providing tables, chairs and even the options for horesehoes!

Overall, loved it and will recommend to anyone looking for a farm, rustic or country vibe. Thank you!

Easy, Breezy, Wonderful

We used the reception barn and wisteria arbor for our wedding and they both turned out wonderful. The on-site coordinator, Sharon Martin, was great to work with and went the extra mile in helping us sort out all the logistics of the day (while still being laid back!). I choose this venue because they were flexible on self serve alcohol and catering options, it was a bonus that the venue is so vast, historic, and pretty! My husband and I liked working with Sharon especially.

Perfect for a smaller rustic wedding!

The farm museum ended up being the perfect venue for my smaller wedding! You would never think of it being a place for a wedding just based on the name but don’t let that fool you! I had my ceremony in the garden and it was beautiful! We had our reception in the barn and it was magical, the inside of the barn is so pretty and so cozy feeling. They have lights that are already hung up in the barn which are so cute and you have the ability to hang more if you’d like. To make things even more magical, there’s a private bridal suite under the reception barn. It’s beautiful down there and makes everything so easy and so convenient! Sharon was helpful, very diligent and professional in doing her job.
I’m beyond happy and thrilled with my wedding at the farm museum!

October 20, 2018 Wedding

The Farm Museum is a beautiful and rustic venue that is perfect for a smaller wedding! We had about 65 guests and there was plenty of room in the barn for our guests and dancing. There are a lot of unique photo opportunities around the grounds...rustic brick buildings, a stream, gardens, barns, and a windmill. Our guests loved interacting with the farm animals, especially the goats and horses! Sharon, the wedding coordinator, was very responsive during the whole planning process. She was always available to answer our questions and let us tour the grounds multiple times for planning purposes. She was present on our wedding day to assist with the vendors and she helped transport guests to the ceremony site if they had difficulty walking. We were able to set up and have our rehearsal the day before our wedding. The Farm Museum is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding with beautiful scenery!

If I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I would! I searched many venues online and this was the first one we visited. As soon as Sharon showed us the barn and garden, I knew I wanted to get married here. We immediately put down our deposit, I had no desire to look anywhere else. We just got married on May 12th, and the day was absolutely perfect. Sharon is extremely helpful, friendly, kind, and communicates everything with you. She is there on the day of your wedding to help ensure things run smoothly, and even helps take guests who has issues walking, to the ceremony site! We were able to set up the day before the wedding, and were able to arrive super early on wedding day to finish setting up. The bridal chamber was one of our favorite parts of the venue! There’s so much for the girls and women in the family to get ready, and it makes the perfect little hide out for the bride! This venue is rustic and charming, and fit our theme so perfectly. The best part? It’s so affordable! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get married in the Westminster area. My wedding day was perfect, I am so happy I found the Carroll County Farm Museum!

We can't say enough about the beautiful ground, Sharon the wedding coordinator helping us with any problems that arose, and the bridal suite that was amazing!

I waited almost 2 years to have my wedding at the Farm Museum in the Garden and the Reception Barn. It was well worth the wait! Sharon is the wedding coordinator. She was very helpful, communicative, flexible, friendly and professional. The garden and barn are beautiful. It was perfect for the rustic barn theme we wanted. We had the whole day before the wedding to set up and do our ceremony rehearsal. We had the whole day the day of the wedding to finish set up. I loved the bridal dressing chamber. It was big enough that a bunch of the girls and women in my family could all do hair and make up at the same time. We couldn't have asked for a better venue! It is also very affordable.

I just got married here last Sunday and it was amazing! The museum was absolutely beautiful that we didn't need to purchase a ton of decorations. We got married in the garden in front of the gazebo at 3pm. It was sinny but sich a beautiful location we didn't mind that our guests were in sun for 20 minutes. But if you do worry about that, there is another area at the grape arbor that is shady and also very beautiful. We considered having our ceremony there. The bridal chamber was awesome. Enough room for all the girls to get their hair done and do theit make up at the same time. And it was air conditioned! Even better for an August wedding! Our reception was at the barn. We got married on sunday to keep prices down. We had plenty of room for our 80 guests, dj, photobooth, sweetheart table and dance floor. The museum is a great venue choice because you're not required to use a certain caterer, cake maker, dj, photograpger, etc. That you find a lot of other venues doing. You still have choice, while keeping within your budget. I can tell you, I had a wedding for less than $5000. If you're on a small budget, this is the perfect place. Sharon was amazing! She responds quickly to emails, even when she's on vacation! She rearranged her schedule to meet with me since I couldn't get there until later to see the place. She is very accommodating and was a pleasure to work with. I'm so glad I found the museum for our wedding, it's a hidden gem in this big wedding world.

I had my wedding at the Farm Musuem on June 10th and could not have asked for a better day. The wedding was amazing, we had perfect weather and the grounds were sooo beautiful. All of our guests were so impressed and kept asking us how we had found the place. We were able to get some very gorgeous pictures and are still so happy & impressed with how our wedding turned out. Sharon is also amazing to work with, shes always friendly and quick to respond. I went back 3 times to see the ceremony and reception area (for planning purposes) and she was always available for questions. If you are looking for a barn/rustic wedding, check this place out!!
