A Secret Garden Dream Come True
Summer weather can always feel unpredictable, but Gastler Farm, in partnership with Woodwinds, made us feel completely at ease no matter what the forecast had in store. As it turned out, we lucked out with a break in last year’s heatwave — but knowing there was a solid plan in place gave us such peace of mind.
We especially recommend choosing the package with Woodwinds catering. Having their team integrated with the venue made everything seamless and stress-free. Randy handled every detail with professionalism and care — whatever you envision for your dream wedding, he truly works to make it happen. The coordination between Gastler Farm and Woodwinds ensured that nothing was overlooked, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our day. Gastler Farm feels like a home away from home — warm, welcoming, and intimate — yet elevated enough to transport you somewhere magical. We cannot recommend Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm highly enough, especially when paired with the Woodwinds, for a stunning, thoughtfully run, and truly unforgettable wedding experience.

Dream Wedding
I am thrilled for this wedding venue and all it's future and fellow Bride's and Grooms to share the love this property has to offer. A true 4th generation farm and the love bestowed upon its grounds eminently shows.
The team here didn't stop at an initial phone call. Multiple meetings and virtual calls allowed us a mutual & proper understanding. Their efforts on the day of were BEYOND! They made sure we had everything we needed and also helped to create the whimsical and cozy vision we spent years planning for.
Thank you for making our dreams come true! We can't wait to visit soon. Love you all as family.

Beautiful small town Farm
Gastler Farm! We had our June 2022 wedding and reception on the grounds, I wanted a venue where we could bring our own local vendors and make the space really custom-it was perfect. Beautiful greenery/ tons of photo options all over the grounds, great indoor space for getting the wedding party ready, plenty of outdoor space for two tents for cocktail hour and reception, and a mobile bar cart! Leah Gastler was so accommodating with multiple visits for planning, and attentive day-of with last minute details. Great small town venue, hidden gem!
Magical Venue
The grounds are STUNNING – you only need little touches as decoration. There are gardens and ornamental trees everywhere as the backdrop. And so many lovely settings for different parts of the event, like an outdoor ceremony space surrounded by a gorgeous stone wall and hydrangeas, a rustic gazebo with twinkle lights for a bar, a fire pit for late-night fun, & a huge patio to set up a tent & tables for meal and dancing. Our portraits in the trees & gardens with the sun setting make us so happy.
If you’re someone who enjoys DIY, this venue is the dream. If not, you can bring in whatever vendors you want to make your vision happen! The farm is in my hometown, and will always be the most special place to go back and visit. We can’t thank Gastler Farm enough for the memories.
Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm is a dream!
The property is endlessly stunning with beautiful gardens, grass lawn space, a handmade stone wall (where we had our ceremony), a super cute gazebo (where we served cocktail hour), an arboretum (that provided a perfect setting for photos) and plenty of parking. The team at Kalmia Garden was wonderful to work with and was very flexible with how we wanted to personalize the wedding set up, decorations and flow of the day. The on site space available for myself, my husband and our wedding party to prepare was perfect, and allowed for a stress-free day leading up to the ceremony and reception.
My husband and I had the best time at our wedding, and we owe so much of that to Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm and their team!
