Just me

WGF Events, LLC, is a wedding ceremony and reception venue in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, that resides on 170 acres of woodlands and is just 90 miles outside of Washington, DC. The rolling hills provide the perfect backdrop to your weekend at this intimate country venue. The Shepherd family founded and maintained the WGF property, seeing it through three periods of construction that resulted in a merging of architectural styles. Although the farm has changed hands multiple times since the 1940s, you’re guaranteed to experience the original character.

Facilities and Capacity

WGF Events, LLC, can accommodate up to 200 guests throughout their two event spaces. This historic venue has a beautiful collection of buildings, including a stone smoke/meat house, a Greek Revival-inspired springhouse, a wooden chicken coop, and a brick ice shed. They’re all connected by a network of roadways and stone walls.

The restored Gala Barn completes the rustic vibe of the grounds, perfect for couples who desire a more historic location as the backdrop for their day. The upper level has a soaring beam structure full of natural lighting and can be arranged to accommodate a variety of layouts, like guest seating, dancing, and live music. Four large HVAC units are hidden in large wooden bins to preserve the rustic feel of the space, and there are two rooms for the wedding party to prepare. One of them features wooden screens, antique furniture, and full-length mirrors. The lower level of the barn features newly painted walls, fixtures, floral displays, and furniture that resembles the uniqueness of New Orleans.

Services Offered

WGF Events, LLC, is wheelchair accessible and has ample parking for you and your guests. WGF can provide couples with space for bridal showers, ceremonies, engagement parties, and receptions. Event services include a bridal suite, clean-up, event rentals, in-house catering, outside vendors, set-up, and wireless internet. Couples can rent altars, arches, chairs, furniture, and tables for their event.

Perfect for a couple wanting a DIY Wedding

We had such an incredible wedding at Wild Goose Farm! The owners were extremely easy to work with and communicate with. They were adaptable and flexible and extremely accommodating.

The venue really let us make our wedding into everything we wanted it to be. The venue is very DIY, so expect to put in a lot of work to get it ready for your wedding. For us, that was exactly what we wanted. I feel like that made our event so special and unique. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue and property are.

Something that is great about this venue is being able to have the venue Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We set up on Friday and had a Welcome Party that evening. We were there all day Saturday for the ceremony and reception. And then had stress-free pack up on Sunday morning. Having the venue for the whole weekend helped us truly immerse ourselves in the celebrations.

Amazing and magical

Wild Goose Farm has everything we needed to make for a beautiful and amazing wedding. The grounds were well kept, the barn was gorgeous, endless photo opportunities throughout the venue. Carolyn was always available with any questions we had. Anthony was always a phone call away for anything we needed. The renovations downstairs are gorgeous. Having special decorated rooms for the bridal party was an added bonus. Everyone loved it!!!!! BEST DAY EVER!!!!!! Thank you so much

The perfect pandemic wedding.

With the pandemic postponing our wedding by a month, the owners of Wild Goose Farm were beyond helpful as me and my husband navigated such a difficult time. In the end we were able to throw a perfect wedding. I would recommend this venue to any bride!

Love the Venue!

Just wanted to provide you on our prospective of our wedding this weekend. It was fabulous! The grounds are beautiful, the guests loved the atmosphere and the barn was so cool even with the temperature in the 90’s. And an added beauty was the horses next door. They loved having their pictures taken with the bride & groom and the family/guest.

Anthony is an asset to your property! Everyone who encountered Anthony and interacted with him was so impressed especially with his hospitality and stories about the Farm. He represents your venue with excellence! We enjoyed working with him!

Perfect spot for a DIY wedding

We recently hosted our 170 person wedding in early November at Wild Goose, and found it to be a perfect venue for a DIY style wedding. First of all, there are so many picturesque places on the property for the actual ceremony, it was hard to choose. Secondly, the barn is gorgeous and practically stands on its own without much additional decorations - providing a great rain backup. Having access to the venue most of the day Friday and all day Saturday really gave us enough time to make the space our own and set up exactly how we wanted. Because our wedding was large and the weather was chilly, we rented a heated tent and stood it up right next to the barn doors to create more space for guests and caterers. On Sunday we were able to host a brunch back and the barn and clean up. The ability to buy our own alcohol (you still need to have legal bartenders) saved us a lot of money. Also, they have a great list of caterers and rental companies that can help with providing everything you need. And lastly, the caretaker is so wonderful to work with - both before and during the event, he is warm, inviting, communicative, and responsive. Having him there to answer questions and help out with the space really helped make the weekend easier. He was even able to make friends with some of the guests. It's really a great venue - not too far from DC / Dulles, a very fair price, beautiful, in a great small town. We would definitely get married there again (though hopefully won't have to).

Easy and stress free

We (and our guests) can’t say enough great things about this venue. The setting was beautiful and well maintained and Carolyn and Anthony were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were both very responsive and flexible which helped make a stressful time much more enjoyable! You also can’t beat the price. Because we had it for the entire weekend, we were able to have the rehearsal dinner there and didn’t have to worry about clean up the night after the wedding. We were able to fully enjoy the entire night and had plenty of time to clean up the next day! If you are looking for a beautiful venue for a great price, we highly recommend wild goose farm!!
