The lounge, located on the lower level, features leather seating, a double bar, men's and women's restrooms, a fireplace, and an outdoor patio. The rustic atmosphere provides an ideal space for cocktail hour, dessert, and photos, as well as a getting-ready area for the wedding party.

Simply the best

The planning was never stressful for our elopement at Cornman Farms, and everything that we needed for our 12 guest wedding was either included or coordinated for us; the prices were outstanding, and that’s saying something for a wedding. The team at Cornman broke up all of the important decisions over time, and they just understood my vision from the beginning. It was the most relaxed and comfortable wedding, and I never felt an ounce of stress. The food was incredible, and the team worked with me to craft a perfect menu even though we had tons of food restrictions in the family. The cake was fabulous. The team effortlessly floated throughout the night so that everything we needed could be managed, but it never felt like the staff was there at all. From the start, the clear communication was the key to our beautiful day. The staff is kind, helpful, and they hyped me up all night which gave me a huge smile. They coordinated the guests for each stage of the wedding, made sure I always knew where to be, and then took a step back and the end of the night and let us just enjoy the stunning grounds together. If I could come up with better words, I would, but they fail me today. My wedding was the best day of my life, and I truly believe that in any other hands, it wouldn’t have been the same.

Exceptionally Beautiful, Exceptional Service

How do I even begin to describe the amazing experience that we had hosting an intimate wedding with Cornman? The property is beyond picturesque and the facilities are top notch, but that's pretty obvious through all of the photos. For us, what took the cake was the entire Cornman team. What a group of absolute pros. From inquiry to booking to planning and execution, the team completely exceeded our expectations at every juncture. We booked our day sight unseen, as we planned at short notice due to family member health. We also live across the country from the venue. One might assume that the time crunch would make planning stressful, but with the Cornman team, it was anything but. I genuinely looked forward to our email exchanges, and the team on site coordinated everything on our behalf from afar. On the day of, we felt so taken care of and are now looking back on a day of our dreams, which included the meal of our dreams! The Zingerman's brand is famous for its cuisine and if you're a foodie, this is a dream location to host a wedding!

Picture Perfect

Hosting our wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms was every bit as picture perfect as we imagined. We fell in love with how beautiful this venue was and they definitely delievered! The staff was wonderful and we had the most perfect wedding day.

Leading up to our event, we navigated a postponed pandemic wedding with the help of the Cornman staff. They were always quick to respond to our questions, and quick to provide support as we navigated the uncertainties of the pandemic.
