Best Venue EVER!

The professionalism was like non other! They made sure my wedding was absolutely perfect! I got married on the hottest day of the year with a heat index of 119° F and the tent kept all of my guests cool! Emma did an outstanding job and her communication was stellar! Pete offered rides for guests on his golf cart throughout the wedding to make sure people did not have to walk far! I knew from the moment I took a tour here that I just had to have my wedding here! They offer many decorations that you can add to with your own hint of color to make your night beautiful! I needed to change my date unexpectedly and they were able to accommodate without any issues! I heard they were planning on making more improvements on years to come with an addition of a new barn and that is just so exciting for all the future brides! How can you make improvements on something that was already so perfect! All brides should save their time and visit this venue first because I know you will just fall in love with it! I think I am one of the very few brides that can say nothing went wrong on my special day and it was all due to the help of Emma, Pete, and the Northfork staff! P.s. I was looking over from previous reviews and brides have full capability of choosing their own DJ and food vendor, but Northfork offers a nice list of PREFERRED vendors that work well to help with the search! I chose all my vendors (Uncle Bubs and DJUj) from their list and my night could not have been more perfect!

Perfection

Northfork Farm is pure excellence. From the tour till the end of the wedding everything was perfect. They made sure everything that we had a vision of happened. They were so accommodating and absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend anybody choosing this venue. The property is stunning and the entire experience could not have been better. Pete, Laurie and the entire staff go the extra mile to make it all great.

Beautiful and a blast!

Having our wedding at Northfork Farm was AMAZING. I can't tell you how many times people told me how beautiful and awesome it was in our wedding night. Everyone there is so supportive all throughout planning and answers all questions and is super responsive. You will definitely feel and know you are in great hands there. It was especially great to work with Enma, we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator. I'm dying to see the rest of our pictures! If you want a farm wedding, this is DEFINITELY the one to go with over any others.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
