Wonderful Venue

Book this place now!! We loved working with Cates Farm for our wedding! This couple is out to make dreams come true! Not only is this venue a great price for holding your ceremony and reception, but you get the venue for the weekend! You do not have to worry about anything going missing or being broken from a wedding happening the day before. You also have time and flexibility when it comes to doing DIY decorations and holding a rehearsal! John and Jennifer were so kind, helpful, and flexible! They worked with us to ensure we had everything we needed and wanted! They even supported us the day of by setting up tables, helping with decorations, starting the fire pit, and ensuring we were all set. (They also have a ton of decorations available for you to use!) I am so thankful we found this venue! The farm and surroundings are beautiful and private. There is plenty of parking and guests that were Ubering did not have trouble getting a car. The cell reception can be a little spotty so we recommended that our guests schedule a ride if Ubering. When having an event here John and Jennifer make you feel like family and truly prioritize that you have an incredible wedding!

A truly special place

In addition to a perfect October wedding at a stunningly beautiful venue, we had the pleasure of working with two of the most fun, gracious, and loving owners you will ever meet. From start to finish, John & Jennifer were flexible, supportive, and a pleasure to work with. We didn’t just feel welcomed - we felt loved and celebrated. Cates Farm will always hold a special place in our hearts!
