Amazing Memories!

I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful we are to Dawn and Richard for making our daughter's wedding day absolutely perfect. Every detail was carefully considered, and they went above and beyond to make this a wonderful day. I would highly recommend The Farmhouse at People's Light for wonderful staff, amazing food (really amazing) and the ambiance. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!

Unforgettable Wedding Day

We highly recommend The Farmhouse at People's Light for anyone looking for an amazing wedding venue! Dawn helped us with organizing our event and was always available when we had questions. Richard worked with us on finalizing the details for our big day and making sure everything went smoothly. While we wanted to use the beautiful outdoor setting for our ceremony, it rained on our wedding day, and they were flexible in making the covered option just as magical for us. Our guests raved about the delicious food and the unique decor throughout the venue. Overall, we are so thankful we chose this venue and couldn't have asked for a better wedding day!

If you have a large guest list but want a small wedding feel, this is the venue

The Farmhouse was truly the best venue and we could not have been happier with our wedding here. Dawn immediately responded to us and worked to schedule a time for us to tour the next time were were in town. We also loved that their price per person was all inclusive for food and drink, and did not have any hidden costs! Also, all the food and dessert was made in house - they are also a restaurant - and was absolutely delicious. We knew our guest list was a decent size, but did hope to have the wedding feel intimate yet not overcrowded. Our wedding ended up having around 160 attend, but you wouldn't have known that many people were there. Everything went beyond smooth, and we were even able to have our dinner in a separate room to enjoy time with each other before rejoining the party.

Also, a peace of mind for brides worried about the weather during the ceremony: not only was there the original plan for an outdoor ceremony beneath their lovely arbor, but a Plan B in their beautifully lit tent that we used for cocktail hour and a Plan C in their also beautifully lit interior space that is also used for cocktail hour and reception. There truly are no worries when working with this venue, and your wedding will be beyond wonderful.
