Rounton Farm, LLC

I don't even know where to begin... having our wedding at Rounton Farm was better than we could've possibly imagined. We visited after our first wedding venue had to close and were scrambling to find another location. Ellen was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and generous with her time from start to finish. She has a very calming and easygoing presence that made the planning process feel less stressful. She patiently answered all of our questions in the year leading up to our wedding, was extremely reasonable and safe about COVID, and understanding and supportive when we decided to postpone our wedding. With every request we made, she would work with us to find a solution -- she's truly one of the easiest people to work with! She made sure everything was where it needed to be during the wedding weekend and was flexible about our time on-site. When they had to fix an issue with their bridal suite, they seamlessly moved us over to her mother's home for getting ready (very kind of everyone involved).

The venue itself is stunning. We got married underneath the big oak tree, which offers a beautiful view of rolling hills. We really wanted a venue where everything was in one place, and it was awesome to be able to walk a few hundred feet from the ceremony location to the barn. The barn itself is in fantastic shape and the loft provides a great vantage point for guests and photos. There are also tons of flower bushes, hedges, and private spots around the property for family and couple photos. So many people told us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever been to, and a lot of that is because of Ellen and her family's great care of the barn and property.

I honestly can't think of anything we didn't love about working with Ellen and Rounton Farm. Having our first venue cancel on us was the best thing that could've happened, and I encourage anyone who wants to get married at a beautiful family farm to consider Rounton.

We also have to give a plug to our fabulous wedding coordinator, Trudy Slocum (trudy.slocum@gmail.com). She is truly one of the most organized, caring, and loving people I've ever met. She went above and beyond, over and over again, to make our wedding the incredible day it was. While we hired her as a month-of coordinator, she started working with us well in advance, met with us countless times to walk through details, troubleshoot issues, etc. She has a storage room full of decorations that she brings with her to weddings, which was a hugely helpful, and has a ton of floral and design experience. Beyond coordinating our wedding and providing decorations, she also crafted beautiful menu and transportation cards for us (out of the kindness of her heart!), shopped for and set up our cocktail hour grazing table, and helped with food and drink at our welcome party the night before. I can't count the number of times my husband and I looked at each other and said, "we are so lucky to have Trudy." She made us feel so comfortable and cared for -- our families adored her too. For our wedding, she brought her friend and caterer, Kim Beery-Stone (another absolute gem!), to help and the two of them did an incredible job. At no point during our wedding did we feel stressed or concerned about logistics. We were able to enjoy ourselves completely, and that is thanks to Trudy and Kim! We couldn't have asked for a better venue and coordinator combo :)

This beautiful farm has multiple spots for your ceremony and an amazing barn for your reception. We used the area outside the barn to park food trucks and it worked perfectly. The owners give so many options for how to use and set up the property and are meticulous about every detail. The barn is magical in the evening with lights and the photo options are endless. Make sure to put this farm on your list of possibilities.

One of the most complimented parts of our wedding was the venue and how beautiful and fun Rounton Farm is! The barn is a rustic wedding dream - it barely needs any additional decor because the natural wood and rustic lighting is so beautiful all on it's own! There is a second floor for additional seating which ended up being so fun for our guests and also helped us get great photos of the reception and dance floor! Ellen made all the planning so easy - she was super responsive with all of our questions throughout the process and always had suggestions and ideas to help make our wedding dreams come true! She was always willing to let us (and our families) swing by for a visit to help envision the day. We also had access to the venue for the whole weekend which made the set-up and clean-up so much less stressful! We are so thankful we were able to have our wedding at Rounton Farm and highly recommend to anyone getting married or hosting an event!
