    Beautiful Venue All Photos by RebeccaJane Photography

    My husband and I have had a wonderful experience working with Kelley Farm. We booked our date shortly after we got engaged because the farm was just breathtakingly beautiful. We initially met with Elise who we ended up working with throughout the entire wedding planning processes. I would say I’m definitely a planner and ask more than enough questions. Elise was always quick to respond to may many emails or calls. I appreciated that and her thorough responses. We were allowed to book dates to come out to the venue and look at it again, bring decor with us to see how it would fit etc. This of course was only if there were no events happening at that time. But I will say it was much needed and much appreciated. The staff was AMAZING and so attentive to our needs throughout the planning and the day of. Since we were making all our own décor and needed the time to set up and prep—staying on a strict schedule was most important to us. The staff respected that and helped us in everyway they could. We had to book for the whole day of course, but it was worth it. We had so much to set up. We also wanted to make sure that we left the place just as it was when we got there so we had our friends helping to scrub the floors, wipe the tables, taking out trash, sweeping the ground etc. The staff made such a beautiful effort to ensure that we had a beautiful day and we wanted to make sure we did not leave them with any extra work.
    Since this is a review, I do want to include a bit of a heads up.
    1. This venue, you are required to go through there approved vendors for any food or alcohol. This does not include pastries or regular drinks or appetizers. Just main food the guests are eating and any alcohol of course because it is a license issue (understandable). The caterers are quite pricey, but we ended up going with Gulllucis, and shall I say their food was delicious. Their presentation was beautiful, and the staff was so friendly, so attentive and outright amazing. I would highly recommend them over and over again!
    2. You will be required to put a deposit down (obviously) to book the date of your choice, and you will be required prior to your event date to book event insurance. For us, it was around $350.00
    3. You will have to wait until the month of, to book a rehearsal for your event—if that is something you want. This was very stressful to wait for because until someone cancelled, we did not have that date we needed, available.
    4. Pay attention to the things you can and cannot have per your contract. For us, the biggest downfall was the fake snow. We had a winter wonderland wedding and not being allowed to have fake snow really sucked. However, we were able to work the fake fluffy snow when we attached it to a linen to lay on the ground. Its mostly because cleanup is so difficult, and you only have so much time because someone may have booked the venue right after you for the next day. So its understandable but a little frustrating. Other things to be mindful of are things like no fireworks, or sparklers, certain candles, etc (read your contract so its not a surprise).
    5. Your venue rental comes with 8 hours and then of course we booked additional hours. Weekday events are a lot cheaper and because our date was so significant to us, our wedding happened to be on a Tuesday, so we saved some money there.
    6. You can also get a tent for outside. American Party place was amazing throughout the entire process, we ended up not getting the tent, so we lost our deposit, but our guest count went down significantly closer to and it wasn’t worth it anymore. But I would also highly recommend them too, and they work with the catering companies and the farm, so info is consistent, and communication is wonderful.
    Finally, the shoutouts!
    Elise, our coordinator was there every step of the way and honestly made this a seamless process. Providing constant info, feedback and advice was so appreciated and above and beyond. She is a keeper and quite frankly I could not stop singing her praise when I worked with her boss at the end to make the final arrangements.
    Chantal (the boss) lol. She was also amazing. She responded promptly to any emails she was CC’d on regarding questions I may have had about times, rehearsals, décor etc. When we did our final sit down with her, she went through everything that I had mentioned was important to myself or my husband, had all our vendors info, we went through everything with a fine-tooth comb, and it was so appreciated. It really put my mind at ease. They did a fantastic job. She went through our vision with us and ensured that the tables were place exactly where I had asked and even made it accessible for some of the heavier items to be moved. She definitely made it very accessible to all our other vendors. It was perfect!
    (Kellie and Heidi)
    Kellie was the host in the morning, she helped so much getting everything set up everything. She was so friendly, and she did not have to but she took so much stress out with helping with ideas on where to moves stuff to create more space etc. Heidi was the host from who took over an hour before the wedding started to the end of the night. She also helped so much, she was helping pack up, giving feedback on how things were looking. Both women were there the day of to oversee everything, neither one of them had to at all but both were helping to unload the trees in the morning and break them up and reload them at the end of the night, the decor, helping my friends and families set the tables, clean up everything. It was above and beyond any expectation I could have had. They were AMAZING and I cannot share enough how much I appreciated having them there. At the end of the night, Heidi even did a walk through to ensure there was no reason I would not get my deposit back. She checked the bridal suit, groomsmen area and the grounds. She was so nice! I am so thankful to the staff at Kelley Farms and so blessed to have had the experience and the wedding we did. It was perfect.

    Couldn't Have Picked a Better Venue

    My husband and I searched far and wide for the perfect wedding venue and I don't think you'll find better bang for your buck. The Kelley Farm is absolutely stunning in every way, and all of our guests were so impressed with the ambiance. There are a lot of options for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony/reception set up and the bridal cottage was just fantastic to get ready in. We had lots of questions throughout the process and the team was super helpful and responsive in making sure we were set up for the perfect day. They even make finding other vendors and getting the appropriate insurance extremely easy for you. We had 111 guests but could have comfortably fit many more. They had everything we needed. Clean restrooms for guests, a bar fit with kegs and refrigerator space, decorative wine barrels, heaters for the patio - absolutely everything we needed. If you're looking for a dreamy fairytale wedding, this is your spot. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure partnering with the team at Kelley Farm. One of our absolute favorite venues to cater at! Every season is a beautiful season on the grounds and the barn is just stunning! Awesome bar inside venue and great portable bar for an outdoor cocktail hour. Their event coordinators are so great at getting us the final floor plan and needs in a timely manner and working with the bride and groom to make sure all their needs are met.
