Nicole & the entire team at Sawyer Family Farmstead are absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Nicole & the entire team at Sawyer Family Farmstead are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I seriously can not recommend them highly enough. I planned my wedding from across the country (which I assumed would be really stressful) and Nicole made it a piece of cake. We had regularly scheduled calls throughout the entire process, and she was always able to answer my questions right away which put me at ease. We ended up loving every local vendor that she recommended we use, and she was always professional and efficient when working with them. Nicole took the time to meet with us for multiple site walks whenever we were in town visiting, and always listened to any feedback I had. The day of the wedding could not have gone more perfect and that was all thanks to Nicole's planning skills! All of the staff at Sawyer Family Farmstead are so accommodating and friendly & it was such a wonderful experience working with them!!

November Wedding (Chantel & Eric)

Chimney Pond Farm is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen! I feel so lucky to have been able to have my wedding there! From beginning to end, Chimney Pond farm was exceptional. When I first reached out to them regarding a venue tour via zoom, I spoke with Lauren, who was so sweet and felt like family by the end of our call. Once I made the easy decision, that this venue was the one for my husband and I, I was connected with their wedding coordinator, Raquel. Raquel and her partner Brooke were a dream, they always answered no matter the time, were always checking in to see what I needed, and helped me through the whole process. Raquel always made me feel at ease in the months leading up to my wedding, she has the best ideas, and is always there when you need her! Once I arrived the week of my wedding, she let me drop off anything and everything the day before my rehearsal and even helped us unload our vehicles, which was so sweet! As a bride, of course I forgot something and didn't know what to do. I forgot to write the table cards, so guests would know which table they were sitting at for the reception, Raquel told me not to worry and did them for me and printed them the night before the wedding, which was a lifesaver because I didn't have a printer at my Airbnb. Raquel goes above and beyond and you can tell she truly cares about her brides! She helped me reapply my fashion tape before I entered the reception and bustled my dress. Without her my wedding would not have gone off without a hitch and I would not have been able to be so care-free. The actual venue itself is very well maintained and looks beautiful all year round. My wedding was in November, so it was still Fall and the pictures are breathtaking! They provided all of my wedding guests with golf cart escort, as well as my bridal party. The overlook barn was perfect and the reception barn was extremely clean and decorated beautifully! My wedding was an absolute dream because of this venue and their wonderful staff. I cannot wait to go back on anniversaries or bring my little ones, once I have some. Highly recommend this venue, pictures don't do its beauty justice and their staff is the cherry on top!

This is one of my favorite places to officiate weddings! You can't really beat the amazing views from the ceremony site, which is perched atop a mountain overlooking a lake, mountains, and trees. The reception space is also impressive, and the staff and service is top-notch!
