Josephine Sent on 02/16/2024Best Weekend Ever!!!
Armstrong Farms is such a wonderful venue. The people are amazing and you get to stay on property Friday into Sunday morning and have ample time to really bring your dream vision to life. As a bride you always want your wedding weekend to be the most stress-free relaxing weekend of your life and honestly I’m in the business myself, and I’ve been a bride myself and you can really see the effort and appreciate the amenities and accommodations that Armstrong Farms provides to make your wedding weekend the best it can possibly be. You also get the freedom of bringing in your own vendors and alcohol which is really nice and can help you to stay within your own personal budget. Another awesome perk is no matter the time of year you can have both your ceremony and reception at Armstrong Farms which can save on transportation costs!! Not only that but the property itself is really beautiful for plenty of amazing photo opportunities. Another plus is that you can get married all year round with Armstrong Farms. Since I got married in DecemberI had double the property to take pictures on (Westminster and Fieldstone location) Honestly 1,000/10 for this venue I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone! Love love love!!! Sooo happy with how everything turned out!!! Also I’ve attached photos incase anyone is looking for winter wedding inspo. -

Cassie Sent on 07/02/2023All around wonderful
We got married on July first at the Fieldstone Barn with unpredictable weather and unknown rain or sun. Our coordinator Deanndra helped us come up with options for our ceremony lay out and it was a wonderful and beautiful day despite the rain, all thanks to her hard work. The barns are naturally beautiful but theres a lot of customizing you can do with your own decor. You also get the guesthouse next to the barn and another cottage less than a 5 minute drive away for your wedding party to stay the whole weekend and it is 100% worth it. Very rustic but it made the whole weekend go much smoother. We were so pleased with how our wedding turned out! -

Christy Sent on 02/09/2021Perfect venue for a great wedding weekend experience!
I cannot say enough positive things about our Venue, Armstrong Farms. Andy and Kristi were so helpful the entire way through re-planning and providing options, to ensuring that the day went off without a hitch. Kristi is the Manager at the Venue and ended up also being my coordinator and was FABULOUS! She answered probably 100 emails from me over the course of 2 years and especially the past 8 months always responded quickly and always in a positive way (to some insane questions! Lol) The property speaks for itself and they take pride in keeping it in perfect condition for all their events. Would recommend this Venue 100 times over! -

Look no further for your dream barn wedding - BEST VENUE EVER
If you're looking at Armstrong Farms then look no farther. We had our July 25, 2020, wedding at the Fieldstone Barn and would do it there time and time again if we could. Planning a wedding during COVID isn't easy, but the staff at Armstrong did everything and more to make sure our day went off without a hitch. I literally did not have to lift a finger on our wedding day! My husband (who is not the event-planning type) also loved working with them and said so many times how great Armstrong was to work with. They were so flexible and kind throughout the whole process! Kristi Sherge was amazing to work with and always SO responsive. She answered every question and concern I had leading up to our big day. The owners, the Allens, are so nice as well and Andy even stopped by the evening before to check in to make sure everything was going smoothly with set up. The use of the farmhouse is truly invaluable as well. Kristi set up a table for us outside on the patio and we held our rehearsal dinner out there, which was nice to have as a back-up because our original rehearsal dinner plans got canceled due to COVID. Armstrong is also the ideal place to have your wedding during COVID because there is so much space to work with. Our guests raved about the amazing location and how comfortable they felt about attending our wedding. You also really get your money's worth at this venue-- it's truly a great value. I can't say enough amazing things about Armstrong Farms and would encourage any bride and groom to look at Armstrong for their big day. I also knew that IF we had to change our date due to COVID that Armstrong would bend over backward to work with me to make sure our day went off without a hitch. I had zero wedding day anxiety at Armstrong because I knew everything was going to fall into place perfectly, and it did. If you are a laid back bride who enjoys adding your own personal touch to your wedding through DIY, this venue is for you! COVID or not, I'd pick this venue time and time again. Thank you, Armstrong, for making my dreams come true-- it truly was the most perfect day EVER. -

Great choice in venue that guests still talk about!
Lori, Andy, and the whole Armstrong crew are fabulous. They are insanely accommodating. It was a beautiful venue and the team made sure the whole event went smoothly. The venue was incredible. The options provided are absolutely endless. Flexibility to make the wedding your own. Leading up to the event, they we're always available to answer questions and ease the anxiety of the wedding planning process. We can't recommend them enough! -

Makayla Sent on 10/28/2019Our wedding weekend was PERFECT!
I may be biased, but Armstrong Farms is possibly the best overall wedding venue in the Pittsburgh area. I can't even believe how perfect our wedding was! Armstrong Farms not only made sure that the DAY OF was perfect, but their package includes the entire weekend, with lodging included. Our entire wedding party and family felt so relaxed and we all had an absolute BLAST. From Friday to Sunday, we created memories and were catered to hand and foot. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Anna made sure that all of our vendors were where they needed to be and we didn't have to lift a finger the entire weekend. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The entire weekend was magical! -

If you have a vision and are truly passionate about “Having the Best Day Ever” Armstrong Farms~
The Fieldstone Barn is for you! We had done our homework on line, long before we visited the farm. The breath taking views and the natural beauty of this location sets the stage for a very elegant affair. Obtaining the venue at noon on Friday and then finishing up Sunday just added to
the hometown charm of this venue. I enjoyed working with Kristi, the event coordinator. Andrew the owner is extremely pleasant as well. Mary from Pisarcik Greenhouse & Flower farm is exceedingly talented! Last Call Bartending made it so easy for us! From the beginning of the planning stage to the actual day of the wedding~ IT WAS PERFECT! -

Brittany Sent on 08/07/2019Absolutely Amazing!
I can not say enough good things about Armstrong Farms - Westminster Preserve. Kristi was our coordinator and she went above and beyond to make our day perfect! It was honestly everything I could hope for and more! I could of never imagined just how perfect our day could of been! One of the biggest reasons we chose the venue was because we got to stay in the houses on the grounds for the entire weekend. Made things so easy and convenient but also made you feel so comfortable and together with your closest family and friends. The people are so easy to work with and truly want you to have the best day(s) of your life! We went to get sunset photos and the owner came over to make sure that everything was going well and as planned and even though it was something so simple, it made us feel right at home! We can't thank every one enough (especially Kristi and the owners) for letting us have our wedding here and for doing everything to make it perfect! -

Samantha Sent on 07/14/2019Genuinely care that you have a perfect day
Throughout the entire process of working with Armstrong Farms to plan my wedding all if the staff/owners were so responsive and helpful.
They all worked so hard to make sure my wedding day went smooth and successful.
We had the weekend package which was ideal. Two cabins provided for Friday night and Saturday night stay as well as a bonfire to hang out after the reception.
Ceremony and reception in the same location and they keep their land so beautifully that there is no need to travel for photos!
I honestly have no complaints about this venue, every moment was made so easy for us and the venue coordinator Anna worked so hard all night to accommodate anything/everything.
I got compliments all night long from guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I honestly have Armstrong Farms to thank for that.
I will always recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect rustic location to get married. -

Rachael Sent on 12/15/2018Best venue ever
I would recommend this venue over and over again!! Anna was our wedding coordinator and she could not have been any more wonderful!! She made the planning and preparation leading up to the wedding, smooth and flawless! We set up our reception and held our rehearsal dinner at the barn Friday night and Anna helped us ENJOY every minute of it!! Not once were we stressed or worried about anything! Anna had an answer to everything and made sure we were having the times of our lives! December 1, 2018 was the best day ever and we are STILL getting feedback from our guests at how perfect the entire day was!! THANK YOU to Armstrong Farms to truly making our wedding day everything we ever dreamed of!! The people, process, service, price, and quality of this venue is absolutely worth every penny! You will not be disappointed! -

Cara Sent on 01/02/2018Our wedding turned out amazing at Armstrong Farms on 10/21/17! Originally we wanted 10/7 and were hoping to use the pond at the Allison Anne barn for the ceremony and the Fieldstone barn for the reception. However we found out that the Allison Anne barn is no longer used for weddings. Kathy convinced us to book the 3rd weekend in October when they stop booking Westminster Preserve and agreed to let us use the pond there if the weather cooperated and the pond grounds weren't too mushy. We lucked out and the weather was perfect and the everything worked out as planned! They were very accommodating to our requests! Plus all of the housing was available that weekend so we booked everything up and were able to have our families, bridal party and many of our friends stay with us the entire weekend. Marlene was a fantastic venue coordinator and made sure everything went off without a hitch (I swear she was everywhere at once!) Price included lodging at 2 houses for Fri-Sun and use of their prop shop which has tons of decor. You really don't even need to buy any decorations if you don't want to.
Having used both beautiful venues, here are some pros/cons of each:
Westminster Preserve
+ Better ceremony site (pond) although the walk down the aisle is a bit of a hike (good for dramatic effect though)
+ Housing is nicer and both are located on the property.
+ Beautiful arbor for cocktail hour
+/- Barn is authentic - has gapes in slates (not good for bad weather), uneven floor
- Bathrooms downstairs are difficult to get to for elderly/disabled
Fieldstone
+ Beautiful refurbished barn with geothermal heating & built-in double-sided bar
+ Basement has beautiful foundation stone wall and is great for cocktail hour
- Ceremony site is smaller
+/- Housing - Fieldstone house is located right across from barn but is smaller. The suite you get is very nice & modern but is located a short drive in downtown Saxonburg (everyone wanted to stay on the property with us.) -

Alicia Sent on 03/28/2017Our venue was the biggest and most important decision in wedding planning and I don’t think we could have made a better decision! We loved everything about having our wedding at Armstrong Farms (Fieldstone barn). We fell in love with the venue at our initial meeting and was then sold on everything that was included - the weekend package with lodging, rehearsal dinner space and set up, use of the amazing prop shop, and the best part a day of coordinator! We booked in August and got our coordinator Amanda assigned in December and she was fantastic! She was way more than just a day of coordinator, she was in constant contact with us leading up to the wedding, answering any questions we had and working with us to make sure we had all our vendors. A few weeks out we had a final meeting with her to go over all of the details which she then confirmed with all the vendors right before the wedding and was the main POC at the wedding. She was around all weekend starting at noon on Friday to make sure we had everything we need for setting up, decorating, etc. We didn’t worry about a thing on the day of the wedding and no one in my family had to be at the farm to make sure the other vendors knew what to do & where to set-up, it was such a relief to have a professional like Amanda be there on our day. I can’t imagine the day going as smooth without her. Now back to the venue, it was the perfect space for our rustic romantic wedding. We had the downstairs with a bar and music for cocktail and then the upstairs for the main dinner and reception. We had 100 guests and there was plenty of room for eating and dancing. It was a beautiful space and the minimal decorations that we used from Armstrong Farms enhanced the natural beauty. We really could not have been happier with having our wedding here and everyone involved. I would recommend this venue to everyone! -

Anna Sent on 06/30/2014Armstrong was amazing, I felt so at ease. They clearly knew what they were doing which meant I could relax and focus on other wedding details and just enjoy life instead of going crazy. The location is beautiful and we fell in love the moment we saw it. I love their treasure trove of decorating items. We hardly had to buy anything for the wedding, they were so well-prepared. Thank you for an amazing wedding! -
User665065 Sent on 10/28/2011Our wedding reception at Armstrong Farms was so beautiful and was such a wonderful part of our wedding day. We fell in love with the farm when we visited in January. (with a foot of snow!) and was simply stunned on our wedding day in September. The staff was nothing but fantastic to us as well. Our experience was amazing and so many friends and family told us how much they enjoyed the farm too! We'd recommend to anyone!!

Abigail Sent on 05/30/2024Great weekend, beautiful space, memories made!
My husband and I had an overall wonderful experience having our wedding at Armstrong Farms. All of the staff is friendly and helpful, and they will work with you to bring your dreams to life! It is definitely important to have a vision and clear plan for decorating/execution of details in your day. The coordinator helps with the flow of the day and providing scheduling/venue-specific directions, but it is up to you to be well-planned and delegate tasks to your helpers! (These roles were explained well ahead of time, so this was not a surprise.)
We had our rehearsal dinner on-site and utilized the on-site lodging (cottages) for our wedding party and ourselves throughout the weekend. It is so convenient and fun to be able to stay at the venue for several days as we prepared and spent quality time in anticipation and later celebration with our family and friends. Many members of our wedding party frequently mentioned how special it was to spend the night before our wedding all making memories and getting excited together in one big "sleepover" of sorts. The accommodations were quite cozy. It was wonderful to wake up exactly where we needed to be and to also be able to have our ceremony and reception at the same site (cuts transportation costs and also makes it easier for older friends and family for whom mobility and transportation independence is a challenge). The staff at Armstrong were flexible in allowing us to have our ceremony down by the water even on a day when the ground was soggy after rain. We were determined to highlight this beautiful natural aspect of the venue that we had so fallen in love with, and they went to every effort to make our wishes come true, even when it was challenging. (They even allowed us to roll out artificial turf as an aisle to make walking in the wet grass easier!) I recognize that at many places, we would have been told "no" to having our ceremony down by the water with ground conditions like that, and I am so so grateful that they ran with our hopes! The owner, Andy, and coordinators Davlin and Nicole were on-site all day to answer questions and assist us as needed. Andy's expertise in years of venue direction is obvious in conversation and his leadership, and he was a very reassuring presence throughout the day. They communicated efficiently, kindly, and expertly with our vendors to answer any questions and make sure everyone was where they needed to be.
Beautiful space with scenic outdoors for photos. We had our wedding on 5/18/24, and we can't wait to get the photos back! We enjoyed the farm atmosphere with animals and wildlife nearby, but definitely make sure you are accepting of that! (We even had a snapping turtle nearby during morning set-up!) It added to the fun of the day.
Armstrong Farms helped make our dreams a reality, and all our guest could not stop commenting on the beauty and "rustic elegance" of the venue. Ample space for eating, socializing, and dancing in the barn/tent throughout the reception as well. Best day of our lives! -

Rachelle Sent on 09/30/2019Beautiful venue, but bad ending to our wedding weekend.
I hate to even write a review like this, but I will always have this feeling about our wedding day and it's not a good one. We chose to get married at the Fieldstone Barn location because it met all of our must have's.. unique, air condition, ceremony site, cocktail hour floor, weekend rental. It also gave us access to their "prop shop" which came in handy MULTIPLE times. Fast forward to the week before our wedding, we go through the weekend plans, everything is planned down to the hour. During our final meeting, we discussed our card box and who will responsible for it and the gifts. Very quickly, Armstrong Farms employees say they will take responsibility for the cards & gifts - they will be locked away in the office. We thought great, that’s one less thing we have to worry about. Our wedding day was perfect. Our timeline moved according to plan, I was getting pictures sent to me as the venue was setup and everything was beautiful. All day, our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was. Now, we are home getting ready to leave the next day for our honeymoon and go through our cards and gifts. While we were going through them, I notice a few things might be missing, but figured with all the boxes we packed up maybe they were elsewhere or maybe our guests forgot them. We go on our honeymoon and I'm still thinking I didn't get a card from one of my best friends since I was in grade school - so strange and unlike her. We get home from our honeymoon and go through our cards one last time. We notice there are over ten cards and gifts missing.. We search high and low, call family members but the gifts just aren't with us. We start to contact our guests (mind you these are reliable guests who are VERY close to us and have always been very generous). We explain it’s not about the money or gift, it’s the fact that their gift might not have made its way to us and that is NOT okay. Our guests told us they 100% placed their card in the box at the venue. Several of our guests also shared that they placed two cards in at the same time (we received one card, but not the other). I reach out to our venue coordinator; she says they aren't at the venue. Then, I called the manager of Armstrong Farms because that answer just didn't sit well with me. How aren't they there? The manager tells me she will call me when she's back in the office. Couple of days go by, I get a short email that the cards aren't in the office – but they will keep an eye out.. I replied to her that I was disappointed considering Armstrong Farms voluntarily took full responsibility for our cards and gifts. Then, I get a call from the owner and we go through it all again. He told me to check with family members because sometimes family picks them up to keep them safe… My wedding was over a week ago – no one is holding onto our cards and gifts. When I asked if his employees had a background check he never said yes, so I'm assuming that's a no. The owner tells us we will hear back from him within a week - it's been over a week, no follow up. I write this because I will always have this memory about our wedding day. We should have asked a family member to care for our card box, but we gave trust in the $10,000 venue. I’m very disappointed with the outcome and that our perfect day will forever have this cloud over my memory. If you rent this venue, ask a family member to tend to your gifts and get insurance that will cover such a horrible situation.
