The Perfect Venue…

West Light Farm is an absolutely gorgeous venue. I started looking for venues literally the day after we got engaged, and I immediately fell in love with it. It truly feels like you’re thousands of miles away from anyone else, surrounded by the most beautiful tall trees and gorgeous sunlight. The pole barn was the perfect spot to celebrate. All of my guests could not stop talking about how perfect West Light Farm was.

Betsy was so helpful, flexible, and understanding- I needed so much advice and many suggestions, and she always had an idea and a solution. She provided everything we needed and more. I couldn’t be more thankful!

The Perfect Venue

We knew West Light Farm was our venue from the moment we found it! We toured a few venues but nothing came close to West Light! They have not only the most beautiful ceremony space but an amazing reception and cocktail hour spaces. Two getting ready suites. So many perfect spots for photos! There is so much space for vendors we were able to have a trailer Photo Booth, two caterers with one serving pizza out of a food truck and a fire pit! All of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was! We had the most perfect wedding and we are so glad we picked West Light Farm!

Perfect outdoor venue!

We only toured one venue because as soon as we saw West Light Farm we knew it was the one for us! We had the most perfect day and got compliments all night about how beautiful the venue was. The get-ready suites on site were a huge plus and helped the day go so smoothly. The staff at West Light made everything a breeze for us and worked so well with all our vendors. Our wedding was an absolute dream and we are so happy we chose WLF!

Perfect Farm!

We had an absolutely PERFECT day at West Light Farm! We live out of state so our first time seeing the farm was 2 days before the wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. The property is so peaceful and the setting is absolutely gorgeous!! Betsy was so sweet from when I first reached out to her up until wedding day. She was extremely accommodating and flexible. We were also lucky enough to stay in the bridal suite/cottage while we were there which was so cute & clean, and definitely added to the overall experience of the weekend. I definitely feel Betsy went out of her way to make our day extremely special. As for the property, the pictures speak for themselves…it was a dream come true! Thank you West Light Farm for giving us the best day of our lives!❤️

Stunning countryside venue in north Florida

West Light Farm is the most dreamy, breathtakingly stunning, absolutely gorgeous countryside wedding venue in north Florida! It is located in High Springs which is the cutest little quaint town you’ll ever see, it is situated on 80+ acres of beautiful pastures and woods with a magnificent pole barn, and the owner Betsy is a photographer so you know she knew just where to setup everything to get that perfect golden hour glow! It was a pleasure working with Betsy and her staff! They were very helpful along the way and orchestrated an unforgettable wedding day for me and my husband. Plus there are cows! C’mon!!! 🐄

Thank you West Light Farm!

Beautiful venue. Attentive, responsive, and accommodating vendor.

Westlight farm was the perfect place for our small elopement ceremony. It is such an incredibly beautiful venue with many fantastic spots for photos. Betsy was amazing and accommodating throughout the entire process, especially since we were looking for a venue only a month and a half before our date! She helped us with finding vendors last minute and was also incredibly attentive and understanding about our requests. If you are considering this venue do not hesitate to book a tour, you will fall in love!

Book this venue!

BEST. VENUE. EVER! Absolute dream come true to have our wedding here. Betsy is so accommodating. Their decor package made planning the wedding simple. The venue itself is so gorgeous. My photographer was in love because the entire place is picturesque. There is lots of parking and it’s convenient to have the ceremony and reception in one place.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
