Dream wedding

We had our May 1st wedding at The Farmhouse and it was everything we had hoped for and more. Katie was our wedding coordinator and was open to answering any questions we had during the wedding planning process. She regularly kept in contact with us leading up to the event to ensure that everything was in order. The staff was also very attentive to our needs on the day of. We brought floral garlands to put on the pergola near the ceremony site and were told that we would have to arrange for someone arrive early to set it up. To our surprise, the pergola was beautifully done by the staff at the farmhouse and looked exactly like the picture. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for an affordable wedding venue that includes most of the essentials. They include the cost of a wedding cake and floral table centerpieces if you work with their vendors. This is such a great value.

The Perfect Wedding!

As the father of the bride, I honestly had some doubts that The Farmhouse could make my daughter’s wedding perfect. We were planning a smaller wedding (105 guests or so), and based on reviews, my daughter chose the venue. I felt comfortable after our initial visit, but still was skeptical. Well, fast forward to rehearsal day, and after walking into our setup room, my doubts quickly vanished. The venue was beautifully decorated, and the grounds were fully maintained.
Our coordinators had us perfectly prepared. The night was magical! We had ample room for a dancefloor, Schaffer Sound keep the party going nonstop after all the preliminaries, and also provided up-lighting in the venue. The sound was perfect! Our dinners were promptly served hot and delicious. Our guests were delighted! Our families and friends had a wonderful time! And The Farmhouse venue and staff played a major role in our perfect wedding day! Thank you so much!

The Perfect Wedding

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend. The Farmhouse staff took care of every detail perfectly. All I had to do was show up & enjoy our guests. The setting was beautiful. The food was delicious and the service was perfectly on point. I believe that at our sit down dinner, every guest was served within 5 minutes. From being able to get dressed at the venue to having Katie & her staff watching the clock to keep
Us all on schedule...everything went very smoothly. They walked us through every detail and made everything so easy for us. I would highly recommend The Farmhouse to anyone. The staff are very professional, courteous, friendly and helpful. My Thanks to Katie & the gang for making my daughter's wedding day so wonderful!!

If we could afford to get married every weekend, we would at the Farmhouse!!!!!!!!

Getting married is one of the most important choices of your life and we are glad we chose to do it at the Farmhouse. There is no other place we’d want to play a central part of our wedding day. We knew the Farmhouse was special the moment we saw the gold plated mirrors covering the walls in the main reception area! From that moment on, it was clear the Farmhouse and their staff pay attention to detail and are incredible at creating special days and little moments for the couples they work with. We worked with Anna and were greeted with kindness, excitement, and openness to executing our ideas and aesthetics. Anna played a huge role in keeping our spirits high and making it an overall smooth and wonderful planning process. WE LOVED the space: outdoor, indoor, and separate rooms to break up the venue space was wonderful. It was much more intimate and exciting than some of the other venues we have been to that tend to only include one big room. We were happy to be able to float around and dance with our loved ones inside on the dance floor, chat with people near their tables or the various stations, go to one of two bars, or hangout on the deck or in the grass. We saw that a lot of the kids gravitated to playing outside with the games, leaving the party space to the adults. Some of the older individuals floated into the smaller rooms at times. The deck area was loved by all who needed to take a breath or cool off. We highly recommend this venue because it is great in that it gives something for all types of guests to do whether that be drinking, dancing, lounging, playing games, etc. The food was wonderful from our perspective. We asked some of the haters in our life what they thought out of curiosity and they all also loved the food. The Farmhouse did a great job at coordinating with all of our vendors, ensuring we were all in the same area. Our guests complimented the outdoor space, greenery, staff kindness, and experience. Many asked how we found this “hidden gem.” We will never ever ever stop recommending xoxo Jaycie Hricak and Walter Kirby, April 6th, 2024 newlyweds!

Wedding of our dreams made smooth and affordable with The Farmhouse

My husband and I got married in September 2022 and Laura was our coordinator. We planned our wedding in three months, starting with booking The Farmhouse in late June, and Laura was extremely accommodating of the short timeline. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner, gave us recommendations for the vendors we needed to book ourselves (many services typically a-la-carte are included at the Farmhouse - huge plus), and seamlessly coordinated things on the day-of. We got a lot of compliments from guests about the impeccably manicured grounds, delicious food (seriously some of the best wedding food I've had), and beautiful building. The existing decorations are nice enough that not many additional decorations are needed. The staff were also top-notch, noticing little details like when I got a small stain on my dress, and coming through with soda water and a bleach pen. Shoutout to Sam in particular, Laura's right-hand woman, for her part in making the day so special. We cannot recommend this venue enough. The team at The Farmhouse made planning and enjoying our wedding easier than we ever could have hoped!

The perfect venue at the pefect price!

Booking The Farmhouse for our venue was the best decision we made in our planning process. While finding and booking a venue can be one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding, the attentive and professional staff at The Farmhouse will make planning not only easy but ENJOYABLE! From touring the venue during an open house, to attending the tasting event, to the day itself, this venue exceeded our expectations at every turn.

Laura, our planner, was communicative and professional throughout the process. She answered every one of our questions and provided us excellent guidance on how to create an event that was memorable and enjoyable for all. After watching her buzz around the day of our wedding taking care of EVERY detail, our family now simply refers to her as "Wonder Woman." Both she and the staff made sure every facet of our wedding day was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Our guests raved about the quality of the service from every member of the staff.

But the rave review did not stop there! We heard from numerous guests that the food, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees, were the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding. I will say, we have to agree.

Finally, I am so thankful to have found such a beautiful venue that offered so many options for pictures. The ceremony site is gorgeous and green and the house itself provides a perfect atmosphere. I am shocked this venue is not booked years in advance but I will always be grateful to have celebrated our day at a venue that provided us service, a beautiful space, and delicious food all at an affordable price.

Elegant, great food, easy set up and take down

The staff was great, they did the decorations so quick setting up and taking down, and did it just the way I had hoped. We got so many compliments on the food and cake from Desserts by Dana! Everyone raved about the outside area and how it was so nice

"They took great care of my wife, and that's all that matters"

We planned our wedding in under six months and (having never done this before) had no idea what we were doing. Katie was very understanding from the beginning and worked to really understand what we wanted and helped us figure out the best path to get there. The team there is very busy (understandably so) and I was a little nervous that we would feel generic and rushed because of it, but the day of, the team's service well exceeded our expectations. Katie was proactive in anticipating things we might need, attentive if we did need anything, and extremely professional. (She also was wise in paying extra attention to the bride! haha) The whole night was beyond what we imagined and the setting, food, and service at the Farmhouse really made for a phenomenal celebration.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
