About this venue

Nestled just North of Terryville, Connecticut, Wood Acres Farm is a family-owned and operated venue for weddings. It can be found down a quiet country road amidst 25 acres of serene farmland at the foot of the Litchfield Hills. There is plenty to explore on the property, such as the wooded trails, glistening ponds, manicured gardens, and vast greenery that set the scene for a magical wedding celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can start the celebrations off by arriving in style on a horse-drawn carriage. Then, they can tie the knot in the romantic gardens encompassed by lush florals. When the vows have been exchanged, everyone can head to the outdoor bar situated on the wide wrap-around porch for a dreamy cocktail hour. With photo opportunities at every turn, newlyweds and their loved ones can follow the bricked walkways to find the perfect backdrop for the all-important photography shots. For the reception, everyone can head to the stunning wood-panelled Barn with wide-plank timber floors, plentiful windows, and stylish decor with space for 140 guests. Two sets of elegant French doors allow plenty of natural light to shine through. When the meal is finished, guests head onto the huge dance floor for an evening of laughter, joy, and funny dance moves. Attached to the Barn is the Perch is a private plateau where the newlyweds can escape the excitement and have a quiet moment to themselves to take it all in.

Services Offered

The Cottage is available for the day's preparations. It is complete with skylight windows, soft accent lighting, personal dressing rooms, full-length mirrors, and beauty stations for a morning of pampering.

10/10 recommend

can’t say enough about this venue. First off the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, all the staff are amazing, Lisa, Joyce, Taylor, Ken, they were so helpful from start to finish. What sold me what the horse and carriage ride for the Bride to the alter!! I need to give a special shoutout to Lisa, she coordinated the whole wedding the day off and I can’t even begin to put in words… WE WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT HER! From bustling my dress, to tying my husbands tie, to putting the boutonnières on, to helping clean up, guiding us where we need to be and when, getting drinks.. I could go on and on! You don’t realize how much goes on behind the scenes and she KILLED IT!!! 10/10 recommend!!

Wedding 10/12/2024

Cannot say enough about Wood Acres Farm, they were absolutely amazing! Joyce and her team really make you feel like part of the family. Joyce was there every step of the way on our big day making sure we were taken care of. Taylor was very quick with responding to all our emails and questions. The venue is absolutely gorgeous all the way from the scenery to the antique decorations sprinkled around the venue. Even on our rehearsal night we got to experience seeing the Aurora Borealis perfectly by the camp fire. Wood Acres Farm was the first and only venue my now husband and I looked at and we were sold right then and there and knew this is where we want to get married! It was an unforgettable night and we are so lucky to have been able to create these great memories on the farm!

From the start we fell in love with the venue. Everything was gorgeous from the entrance to the cottage to the ceremony site on the deck to the indoor/outdoor reception!!! And we can’t say enough about the staff. Their professionalism and attention to detail was top notch. They treated us not just like we were just another couple passing through but we were treated like family. We will forever treasure Wood Acres Farm and the staff!

Beyond Words

Wood Acres provides us the absolute perfect location for our 25th Vow Renewal. We wanted something special, where we were able to put our special touches to our event, but not have to do everything ourselves. This was the place! They provided a list of amazing vendors to choose from, who were just as easy and professional to work with. Our day was so magical, with NO stress!

The Perfect Country Wedding

All the way back in 2020 we booked Wood Acres. We walked in the door to the office and it was like we were home. The landscaping is impeccable. Plenty of parking for guests. Vendors have easy access in and out. Horse drawn carriages for the bride to enter on then rides for the guests during cocktail hour. The barn is beautifully decorated and softly lit to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Lisa was our coordinator for the day of and she ran a tight ship. We stayed on time line and got everything we needed to to be able to enjoy our evening. Most of all we were afforded the opportunity to bring my tractors. As a bride who's father passed it was a very important and meaningful moment to be able to have them there as a piece of my Dad on my big day.
We cannot thank the WAF team enough for all they do. As a family run business you can see the love and hard work put into the establishment and we are so honored to be part of that wedding family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What can I say? Love this venue. A great New England setting. Always a joy for me to DJ there. What a view. What a fun place. I can't say enough good things. Joyce is the best. She'll make sure everything is perfect and treats any vendor great. This is important since vendors all need to work together to assure an event is seamless. I always look forward to my next event at Wood Acres.
