We knew we found our place!

We loved everything about North Star Farm. The things that drew us to this place were many, to list them all would be impossible. But there were a couple things that really stood out. One was the property itself, well taken care of and manicured and so many trees. Probably the biggest draw was the owners, Rebecca and her husband Scott. We felt, from the time we stepped out of our vehicle and Rebecca introduced herself, this was our place. She was so welcoming, and excited to show us around the venue, while giving us the run down on what was included, she also asked about our vision, and had Suggestions as to how that could be incorporated into the venue. We toured a few other places and those just didn't compare, making our decision easy. We loved the fact that they are owner operated, and the owners actually work with and communicated with us through the whole process from beginning to end. They we're very organized, with lists of highly recommended vendors, and time lines for our wedding day. Another thing we liked was they have separate suites for the bridal party, not just 2 small spaces, but a house for my Bride & her bridesmaids and a dairy barn for myself and my guys. Both have air conditioning. 5 stars on guys space itself. Their reception building is so cool, no other place has the lighting they do, which sets the vibe. A reception dance there is a show stopper alone, our guests loved it and never stopped dancing. I must say I'm not sure there is another wedding venue that has anything like they have. You can tell Rebecca and Scott, along with their staff, put their hearts and soul into everything they do there. They have thought of everything. If you are getting married and are looking for a venue, this is a must tour venue. Your search may be over after you visit North Star Farm.

A Dream Come True!

My husband and I chose North Star Farm to be our venue after tour multiple venues. Every box was checked by them, in what we were looking for. There we're a few boxes we did not even think of that they helped us with. They have thought of everything here, which kept our minds from spinning and put us at ease. They grounds are well kept, building area beautiful. Everything there is picturesque, and the sunsets there are amazing. Vender Suggestion were top notch. And last but not least amazing owners. Everything was a dream come true.

This Place is so Beautiful, and well thought out!

I attended a wedding here this past summer and was blown away at its Beauty. Being from the cities, this is how I would imagine a farm to be. It still has that feeling with the original farm house and dairy barn.
What they have done with the farms original quonset and turning it into a really cool reception barn with a large patio is something to see. It even has AC!
The ceremony is area is completely cover from the large trees surrounding it. Everything was green, you could tell they take pride in their venue's appearance.
The staff there was amazing, So kind, thoughtful, and all hard working. They are a well oiled machine.
As a guest my wife and I really enjoyed everything about the wedding we attended there. I cannot say that about a lot of weddings I have attended in the past. I would highly recommend this venue.

So Happy with our choice of North Star Farm as our venue

My wife and I got married at North Star Farm in July. We are so happy with the choice we made to get married there. First off, Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with throughout the whole process, she was so much help in answering any questions we had lowering the stress level. Loved that the venue has both a bridal suite(the farmhouse) and a grooms suite(in the dairy barn). I must say from my own experience, the grooms suite is really cool. Our parents kept commenting on how organized everything turned out. Thanks to Rebecca, she didn’t miss a thing. We loved the fact they had decor to use, so we didn’t have to bring any of our own, other than some engagement photos. Oh yeah, I cannot forget about the lighting there, both inside and out. It feels like a different place once the day turns to night, it’s magical. Outside Edison string lights all around. Warm patio lighting and a fire pit. Inside the Uplighting, which is included, that matched our colors too. One of the coolest things that sets this venue apart from all the others we toured was that they have their own dance floor lighting. If you choose one of their recommended DJs, those DJs get full access and control of lighting. Its pretty impressive and I highly recommend going in this direction. Their catering options made it hard to choose just one, but we managed to do so. Their ceremony area is shaded, and all the building on the property have AC including the reception barn! All are musts for a July wedding. Long story short - We cannot say enough about North Star Farm, Rebecca & Scott, and all their staff. If we had to do it again we wouldn’t change a thing about our day or the venue. They were our number one choice! Highly recommend!

Incredible!!!!

We found North Star Farm by luck, and it was one of the best things to have happened to us! From the second we saw the place we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. Rebecca and Scott are two of the greatest people we have had the pleasure of working with, and they made our experience feel like a dream come true. They truly made every part of our wedding day amazing. I could write a novel on how incredible they are as owners/coordinators and just how amazing they are as people! Do yourself a favor and book this venue ASAP, it’ll be one of the greatest decisions you’ll ever make :)

Wow thank you

Rebecca & Scott were AMAZING to work with. We had 3 venues lined up to tour, we looked at North Star first & canceled our other tours, we fell in love INSTANTLY! Rebecca answered ALL our questions in a timely manner. Rebecca & Scott made wedding planning so smooth with the little details & all their advice that was given. We honestly couldn’t have picked a better place to get married at! So many cool & different places to get pictures taken! We have recommended North Star to other friends & family looking at getting married or hosting any other gathering out there! I 10/10 recommend having your event at The North Star! It was a beautiful day on top of it! Thank you again, Rebecca & Scott!!

Amazing Wedding venue and staff

Northstar Farms is an amazing venue and Rebecca and Scott are a dream to work with, My daughter's wedding went off without a hitch on their part (we had a broken zipper though). All of the guests have been so complimentary of Northstar Farms. It is beautiful there with so many things for people to do during the reception. Everything is so clean and inviting. The spaces for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen are unparalleled. Plenty of mirrors stools and outlets for the ladies and the guys had a pool table, foosball table and TV to enjoy.
Rebecca and Scott were quick to reply to questions and accommodating of special requests. THey truly want there clients to have the best experience they can provide and go over and above to make that happen.

They made everything seamless for our special day!

North Star Farm was great to work with. They provided lists for vendors, things to do, things to remember, and a blank itinerary that made this experience less stressful and move smoothly! Their accommodations were amazing from getting ready for the wedding all the way with a place to lay our heads at the end of the night. The grounds had all we were looking for and the games were awesome for the guests. Guests were texting us the next letting us know how beautiful the place was and how much fun they had. It was a great place to have our wedding!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
