Best Night Of My Life

The Farmhouse is an incredible, beautiful and fun venue to host your reception/wedding. My husband and I had an amazing experience! Dawn and Richard were so professional, responsive and made the day stress free and easy. The speciality drinks were out of this world and we are still getting compliments a month later. 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone an everyone!

Wedding of my Dreams

We had our wedding here in September of 2023, and their performance exceeded my expectations in making my big day come true! Dawn and Richard were a pleasure to work with, any decor I brought they set up exactly how I wanted, and also added their own personal touches to it also to make it even better.
Food was phenomenal here, guests loved it. The whole process was very seamless and I never felt silly with any questions I had for them.
I would absolutely recommend having your wedding here.

Farmhouse at People’s Light exceeded my expectations. This venue is very unique and I would highly recommend.

This venue is stunning. The Farmhouse itself is such a special unique space loaded with character. The gardens are amazingly beautiful. It feels as if you are at a mini Longwood Gardens. The venue itself has plenty of space, but with the sliding glass doors, even smaller events would be appropriate. There are loads of artistic touches everywhere: the glasswork, artsy metal lights in the ceiling, string metal cans outside, beautifully designed fire pit, it is truly magical. The staff is truly fabulous. They answered every question and attended to every detail without fail. Totally felt every detail was addressed. Please go visit this venue because you will fall in love!!
