Book Smolak Farms your wedding!

Smolak Farms was the perfect venue!!!! The apple orchard for the ceremony and the rustic feel in the reception area was better than we ever could have asked for. The wedding coordinator was most helpful, most caring, and most understanding person to work with throughout the whole process. She constantly reassured us over following year any time we were worried about a step in the process and she helped so much keep us on track in our planning. On top of that, her recommendations for vendors were perfect. She went above and beyond at every turn and we truly cannot express just how much we appreciated working with her. SHE IS AMAZING.

On the day of the event, the wedding staff there were very communcative and kind. We loved working with all of them. The set-up inside of the reception area was soooo beautiful. The fire pit was such a nice addition for the kids too. We had a few add-ons too that were really nice, like the donut wall and ice cream from the venue, the staff arranging our flowers, etc. We could not recommend this venue enough. They made everything so much easier and so perfect for us. We love Smolak!!!!!!!!!!!

Fairytale Wedding!

We just had the most magical, romantic, and beautiful wedding at Smolak Farms in their Barn!
Our entire wedding start to finish was inside their incredible rustic barn! Best Wedding ever was what all our guests shared with us!
From the very beginning Elaine was amazing to work with! Over the year, Elaine was always available for anything we needed! She helped us create the wedding of our dreams! It was a truly Happily Ever After experience!
Elaine and her staff worked together to allow us (my husband and myself) to let go once the planning was done and coordinated with all of our vendor’s, like a well oiled machine to have everything we wanted to come together!
Even though it rained on our wedding day, Elaine and Mara made sure our wedding went off without a problem! We felt so taken care of by her and the staff! Their expertise in event planning made everything Perfect!
We cannot say enough how grateful and blessed we were having our Wedding at Smolak Farms! It will always be such a sacred place in our hearts and Elaine will always be a friend we made during the process!

Highly highly recommend!

We just had our wedding at Smolak Farms and could not have had a better experience start to finish. Elaine was a godsend throughout the entire process. Elaine has been available and accommodating since day one. Throughout the entire process, she constantly checked in with us to ask us if we need anything or had any questions. She was readily available to answer any and all questions and offered suggestions and feedback throughout, that was greatly welcomed by us. As we got closer to our wedding date, Elaine helped us feel relaxed and organized. The day of the rehearsal, Elaine and her team were ready for our rowdy bridal party, and kept us organized and on track for a quick rehearsal. Elaine and her team were extremely detail oriented and had everything organized and set up the day of - they not only received and set up our charcuterie, board delivery and pastry delivery, but the entire venue was decorated beautifully beyond our initial vision. We got so many compliments that we owe to Elaine and her team on the location, ceremony, and reception. Elaine and her team went above and beyond all of our expectations for our wedding day and truly brought our wedding vision to life, and then some. We had been told to expect things to not go according to plan, we did not experience that at all. Everything went more than perfect that day. We couldn’t be more grateful for them and recommend Smolak Farms more highly!!! Thank you Elaine and team!!!!

A dream come true

It has taken me 6 months to process how perfect our wedding was and write this much deserved review. Ashley and her team were so wonderful and helpful to work with, from the early planning all the way through the night of, they went so above and beyond. Ashley made sure things ran smoothly, helped with last minute decorations/details, and my family was so impressed by how wonderful she was at helping orchestrate what can sometimes be chaotic on the night of. I really cannot thank them enough. Smolak’s recommended bartender Deb also went above and beyond with lovely decor, amazing signature drinks our guests still talk about, and being a fun presence. She was more than just your average wedding bartender. We had the perfect early fall day and my dream of a quaint, elegant, rustic outdoor apple orchard wedding was seamlessly executed. I grew up apple picking at Smolak and having our wedding here was really special. Can’t recommend this venue, this team, and of course the cider donuts enough!

Perfect fall wedding!

We held our micro wedding here in October 2021. Ashley and her team were great. We had cider donuts as part of our dessert and anyone who has been to Smolak knows they are the best donuts around. It was a huge hit with our guests. The wedding area is perfect for a fall wedding. Smolak provided additional decorations, lawn games and we added a fire pit for S’mores. Smolak is a hidden gem for weddings! Our photos were stunning with the orchards and trees as a backdrop. I highly recommend Smolak and their events team.

Excellent!

Smolak Farms was a wonderful and whimsical option for our annual client appreciation event. It was incredibly well executed and the team couldn't have been easier to work with! This event has been a home run and something our clients look forward to each year.

Ashley Piazza and her team are pros!!

Gorgeous Venue

We had our wedding at Smolak Farms on 10/02/2021 and it was absolutely gorgeous. Ashley is wonderful and so easy to work with and the whole venue looked so much better than i could have ever even hope for. Our guests raved about how pretty everything was and how well set up it was. Couldn't recommend them anymore!

Perfect Outdoor Ceremony and Venue Site

We were married on 10/19/19 at Smolak Farms and could not be happier with the entire experience. From the first day we met Ashley we felt like we made a new friend and could trust her to make our day perfect. She was very flexible, gave great advice when we needed it, and along with Meg and the rest of her team, took care of us from the first part of planning through the end of our reception and beyond. They also did an amazing job decorating for the ceremony and reception. Everything was exactly as we had hoped it would, beautiful, cozy, perfect! Thank you Ashley and Meg for giving us the best day of our lives!

Expert, professional event planners

We had a fantastic experience with Smolak. Ashley and her team are consummate professionals who ensured that the event went off without a hitch. We were consistently impressed by the hard working Smolak team, and of course the venue is gorgeous. The one thing to note is that you should make sure your DJ is aware that he has to use Smolaks sound system - some DJs get upset about that. However, when we ran into that problem, Ashley very quickly helped us to find another DJ who did an awesome job (DJ Thrilla, who I also highly recommend). No big event is going to go completely smoothly - but you want a team that’s got the experience and the professionalism to handle anything that happens. Ashley, Meg, and the Smolak staff exemplified that attitude and we were SO lucky to have them on our team throughout the wedding planning process and the day-of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
