Wonderful experience

Julie at Hale Farm did such a wonderful job helping us with our wedding. She stuck with us when we had to postpone due to COVID and helped us replan a safer celebration. It’s actually a perfect venue for spreading things out and having everything outdoors. We had a lot of ideas of what we wanted and she helped us turn our dreams into a reality!

Amazing venue, Amazing staff

Hale Farm and Village was everything I could have dreamed of for our special day and more. The beautiful site was unique and every guest raved over the location. Even with the rain, it was stunning. Our wedding was on 9/28/24 so the property was open to the public during the day, but not very busy. We used the east side of the property and it was beyond picture perfect. The pavilion set the most perfect vibes for our reception, and the area behind the Herrick House was a dream come true for our ceremony. My husband and I did a first look and private vows in front of the yellow house, and were able to take photos on the entire property. It was MAGICAL to say the least.
But this review is mostly for the AMAZING Miss Dotty. About two months before my wedding, I was notified that the person I had been in contact with and had been planning with was no longer with HF. Obviously, I was stressed and nervous to say the least. But once Dotty was brought on, and after one meeting with her my fears subsided. This amazing person did EVERYTHING in her power to help me achieve the wedding of my dreams. She came up with solutions to any issues, she offered ideas and thoughts for any question I had. This woman worked her butt off the day of my wedding!! With the change in staffing, and promises made from the prior, Dotty went above and beyond to make things happen. She also had a second wedding on the west side of the property the same day, and Dotty seemed to always be around when I needed something. When my ceremony was 45 minutes late... no fault of HF or Dotty (family drama)... and I was on the verge of a breakdown, Dotty came over to me and asked "you want to hear a funny story?" and continued to tell me something funny to distract me, and make me laugh. She made sure I wasn't too shiny from the stress sweat, and helped get things back on track. At one point she had the help of a young man named Alex (I hope that's right) who was just as kind and helpful as she was. Both helped with set up, and tear down. Alex helped fluff my dress before I walked at the ceremony as Dotty was closing and opening the entrance doors for me. They both seemed to make sure that everything could go as best as it could. I know for a fact this day would not have happened, and would not have been as amazing as it was, if not for Dotty. She is a superhero.
Hale Farm and Village was truly a dream come true venue for us and our special day. But Dotty was a rock star and I am forever grateful for her, her hard work, and her kindness from the moment I met her. Thank you!!!

Our experience with Hale Farm was more than we could ever imagine. We worked with Johanna, who is an absolute power house. Any questions we had, we had an answer that day. Johanna was able to help us with ordering alcohol, planning out our big day, and offering so many recommendations on where to take pictures. Johanna was such a huge part of our day. It was pouring on our big day and she was so flexible. Our ceremony and reception was absolutely stunning. Hale Farm is seriously worth every penny. Not only will you fall in love with everything the site has to offer, but you will seriously feel a part of a family. We cannot thank Johanna and her team enough for everything they have done for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
