Simply stated WONDERFUL! The day (and weekend) couldn’t have been more PERFECT. The ladies at Bishop Farm, Annie, Heather and Maggie, are friendly, professional and very responsive to every question and request - starting from the day we reserved the farm for the wedding throughout the entire planning and THE day. We used many local vendors who were all GREAT - their product and easy to work with. We would recommend Bishop Farm for anyone who wants to have a beautiful, memorable day. It was also really nice having the entire wedding party and family stay in the Inn and cottages ☺️

The moment we stepped onto the Bishop Farm Venue we knew it was where we wanted to get married and we are so beyond happy with our decision. Heather, Annie, Maggie and the rest of the crew made the planning process so smooth and stress free. Our wedding day was more than we could have everask for and all our guest said it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

Bishop Farm far exceeded my expectations for my daughters wedding. The Salter family organized every little detail and everything went very smoothly. It was the most beautiful venue! Worth every penny we spent!

First of all, the venue is so unique and beautiful. We were sold immediately on the beautiful renovated barn for the ceremony. The elements of light coming through the old barnwood, the colored glass, and the pews are just breathtaking. Plus, we knew we didn't want a first look so having the barn door entrance was perfect. But then when we saw the beautiful touches in the reception barn- the chandeliers, the vintage couches, the bar, the walls, bathrooms, etc. and then we were offered a beer on our tour- it REALLY was a done deal.

Another important thing for our wedding was having the place to ourselves for an entire weekend. We were able to have a mix of our families stay on the property like our own private compound for the weekend. We had a wiffleball game, coffee out on the lawn, the kids could run and chase bugs or the poor chicken even though we told them not to (sorry Salter's!!!). It really helped set the tone for our festivities all weekend with fun and love surrounding us at all times.

We are all the way in Baltimore - with my wonderful mother taking the reigns in New Hampshire- but Heather and Annie helped us stay on course before, leading up to, and during the wedding. They helped create and execute our itinerary perfectly while having fun with everyone. They become one with your family and friends which is rare and special.

We booked this place off of our tour and reading all these recommendations (which are so true!), and you should, too!

The Salter family is simply amazing! So kind, sweet, friendly, and treated all of us like family. True experts at coordinating the wedding weekend at Bishop Farm, directing the vendors, and keeping to the timeline. They helped us so much to make sure everything went smoothly and we didn't have to think about anything, they were already taking care of it! We didn't feel the need (and turns out we were right) to hire a coordinator because the Salter's handle everything on the wedding weekend. They were so on top of it all. They recommended great vendors, most of the ones we booked were from their favorites. They really have thought of every detail and it is so calming! Planning our wedding was so much fun and they were available any time to answer our many questions. All of our friends & family & vendors had nothing but wonderful things to say about the Salter's and Bishop Farm. It is truly a magical place, and the website/photos do not even capture the true beauty when you see it in person. We fell in love with the ceremony barn dressed up like a church with pews and stained glass. It was just gorgeous and we dreamt about that barn door opening moment for a year before it finally happened. We loved that our family and wedding party could stay at the farm all weekend, and we all had a great time relaxing and celebrating. It was also convenient that they have a "wedding pantry" FULL to the brim of any kind of wedding/rustic decoration you could think of (jars, candle votives, all of the signs, table numbers, frames, baskets...you name it)! We didn't have to buy anything for our wedding because they had it all there to borrow. We donated our left over terra cotta pots to the pantry :) The farmhouse and cottages are adorable, and the fire pits so fun! I want to live there it's so beautiful. When the weekend ended and all our family had left, we spent another hour or so saying goodbye to Heather, Annie & Maggie and chatting...we just didn't want to leave!

Peggie · Married on 06/30/2018

A Pinterest search of New England barn weddings led our daughter & son-in-law on a wedding journey they thought could only exist in their dreams. Soon after their engagement, our daughter Kim asked us to travel from Long Island, all the way to the White Mountains of NH to visit a place she fell in love with on Pinterest. We ventured through the mountains and into tiny Lisbon where we were welcomed at Bishop Farm by Heather, Annie and Maggie. It wasn’t long before we were touring the venue and feeling right at home! We were sold...on the place, & more importantly, the hosts! The rustic elegance of the ceremony and reception barns...the stained glass windows between which they would exchange vows, the expansive lawn, mini game room, featuring skee-ball & table soccer, bridal suite, cottages and quaint inn all drew us in. We knew this would be the perfect venue for Kim and Bobby's wedding. It proved to be just that!! From the moment we arrived prior to the wedding to check out, we felt like we were right at home. Heather, Annie and Maggie were accommodating, providing guidance, and orchestrating all preparations to ensure an amazing celebration before, during and after! They worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was checked & double checked to keep us all on schedule. Event planning is in their blood! They were ALWAYS available, willing & able to meet our needs without hesitation. Even our guests got to know them as they are always visible & engaging! It was hard to believe that the venue could be more beautiful than when we toured last August...but with the addition of flowers and lighting, it was an even more magical place. The ceremony barn, filled with family and friends, an intimate space lit with late afternoon light cast the most beautiful glow on the bride & groom. The expansive lawn served to provide places to gather, play corn hole, swing, or just socialize. We & our guests will forever treasure the wedding memories we made at Bishop Farm!

When my engaged step-daughter first announced her plans for a "destination wedding" more than two hours from home, I was initially dismayed. Mostly because she had also asked me to do the dessert table at the reception and traveling with baked goods can be a daunting task! How glad I am now that she followed her instincts and chose the Bishop Farm!
From our arrival the day before the wedding until our departure the day after the wedding, our stay at the farm was nothing short of delightful! The grounds were beautifully maintained and the buildings were filled with incredible antique finds from across the country and displayed in a perfect 'shabby chic' way. That being said, I must emphasize that what makes this place truly amazing is the owners: Heather, Annie, Dan, their Mom, Martha and their niece, Maggie. They were unbelievable! First of all, they remembered everyone's names after only being introduced once (and we were a big wedding party). Second, they bent over backwards to make sure everyone had everything they needed to make this wedding perfect. As I mentioned previously, I was in charge of the dessert table and still had some last minute prep work to do on the day of the wedding. The kitchen area was graciously handed over to me as soon as breakfast was done and I was allowed to take over the whole space with Martha there to provide me with bowls, utensils...whatever I needed that I hadn't thought to bring from home! I ended up feeling more like family than a guest at their venue! The wedding itself was perfect and went off without a hitch, mostly because of the attention to detail that the Salter family provides. Everyone who attended was impressed with the venue and the quality of service. Some of us stayed in the rooms in the main house and I have to say it was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in away from home! A very nice breakfast was provided for us each morning and the true star of that meal is Martha's quiche...incredible!!

"Above and beyond" does not even begin to describe the Salter family and Bishop Farm. From the moment we booked the venue, they constantly reached out to ask questions, provide input, and give us any and all support we might need. This was especially helpful as my husband and I were planning from across the country; we never once felt panicked or stressed because the planning was in such good hands. They thought of everything --- details I would never have even considered --- and it truly showed. We had our dream wedding and it could not have happened without Annie, Heather, Maggie, Danny, Martha :), and all of the other team members who put it all together. Don't even get me started on the "Pinterest Barn", which has every decoration/detail you could imagine! We spent Thursday to Monday at the farm, taking a day after our wedding to relax and take in the gorgeous setting. The family even helped us coordinate transportation home, dropping us off in Littleton!

I cannot say enough about this venue, because it is so much more than a venue. It was an unbelievable experience, start to finish, and we have been reliving it ever since. I would highly recommend Bishop Farm to anyone.

Words can't even explain how truly magical this place is. This venue is a piece of heaven with rustic charm and elegance, but such a laid back atmosphere at the same time. This was the first and only venue we looked at. The grounds are like something out of a post card and the ceremony/reception barn will leave you speechless. From the moment we booked the Salter family made us feel like we were part of their family. Heather, Annie, Maggie and Dan were all so amazing from the moment we arrived to the goodbye tears as we were leaving. The farm has 6 cottages that lead to an amazing fire pit surrounded with bench swings. That's not all! The farmhouse/B&B has 7 rooms and so many common areas so you and your family/bridal party can enjoy the entire weekend together! Everything was very easy once we booked. They have so many great recommended vendors and a timeline to go by that made our planning so easy and stress free. It honestly felt like we had known all of our vendors for years! Everything about the wedding was so perfect. The Salter family literally took care of everything; I was not stressed one bit. They even gave me a walkie talkie to keep me updated on everything while I was getting hair and make up done! The moment the ceremony started the entire night was a dream. Our guests were blown away and kept asking us how we found this place?! Everything came together so perfectly. As bittersweet as it was for it to end, we wouldn't change one thing about the entire weekend. We will be looking for any opportunity to go back to the farm and would recommend this place to every couple! It is truly like a destination wedding without having to get on a plane. Thank you Bishop Farm and the Salter family for making our dream wedding day come true. If you're looking for the PERFECT wedding please look at the venue!You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!! We love you guys!

A huge “thank you” to the Salter ladies and Bishop Farm staff for making our wedding weekend perfect! I could go on and on about how beautiful Bishop Farm is--it was the most gorgeous setting for our early October wedding. Beyond it being a truly stunning venue, which you can clearly see in the photographs here and on their social media accounts, it is also wonderfully unique. Between the stained glass windows in the ceremony barn and the striking chandeliers in the reception barn, Bishop Farm offers a magical backdrop.

What initially drew us to Bishop Farm during our venue search were the onsite accommodations. We knew we wanted our wedding party and parents to stay onsite with us to create this giant slumber party atmosphere for the weekend, and we were not disappointed. It was so much fun to have everyone together. Additionally, in our venue search, we wanted to avoid venues that we perceived as “wedding factories”—spaces that didn’t feel unique, intimate, or personal. When we found Bishop Farm and visited, we knew that the old farm feel and vintage décor touches would completely eclipse other barn venues—our decision was made, and Bishop Farm was where we wanted to get married!

As a somewhat nontraditional bride and someone who doesn't find joy in planning large-scale events, I am so thankful to have had Heather and Annie with me every step of the way. They offered suggestions and guidance whenever I was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of choice and number of decisions to be made. Like so many people have said in their reviews, the Salter ladies have the wedding business down to a science. They know their venue. They know what works in it. More importantly, though, they know what won’t work, and they know how to communicate that to you while offering suggestions. They go above and beyond to make your wedding weekend easier for you, working tirelessly to finish the to-do list so you can enjoy time with friends and family.

Thank you, Bishop Farm!

Not only is Bishop Farm picturesque and charming, Heather, Annie, Maggie and their staff are incredible! They are
so very talented, attentive, creative, warm and friendly. Their attention to detail is remarkable and our daughter's wedding was seamless! My daughter and I planned this wedding weekend with me living in Michigan (and my daughter in Massachusetts), so there was always the question of how things would fit together but Heather and Annie made it so easy and never complained about our MANY phone calls and emails! We held our ceremony in the breathtaking chapel and our reception in the main barn. The setting was like a dream and there were many props and decorative items available at the farm to compliment the surroundings. I can't tell you how many compliments we received from family and friends about the beautiful setting, the attention to detail and for those that stayed on the farm, the lovely accommodations.

There are not enough words to explain how magical our wedding weekend was. Bishop Farm is one of the most spectacular wedding venues I have seen. It's beautiful location in the white mountains is the perfect spot for getaway, the access to the "pinterest pantry" saved us TONS on decorations, and all of our closest family and friends had the ability to stay with us on the property. What really makes Bishop Farm special is the Salter Family, Heather, Annie and Maggie. They are a well oiled machine, hard working, and genuine. They go above and beyond any expectation, are extremely accommodating, and are the ones responsible for making all the magic happen. Our wedding was perfect!

Heather, Annie and Maggie did an outstanding job with my daughters wedding. Some immediate attributes that come to mind are their energy, professionalism, positive outlook, ease in doing business with and attention to detail. The customer experience was excellent. Experience Matters and these ladies have it. I would work with them again and I am not sure I would change a thing as they did an outstanding job exceeding our expectations.

Best Wedding Venue hands done!!! My husband and I fell in love with Bishop when attending a wedding in October 2015. We have been to so many different venues for weddings and this one blew them all away. We decided if we ever got married it would absolutely have to be here. We got engaged less than a year later and booked the venue for September 2017. We can't say enough nice things about this place!! On top of the venue being so charming and gorgeous, the Salter family who own it are the most welcoming, loving, and amazing people you will ever meet. They are top notch and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and you have the Best day ever!! I never once felt a bit of stress during any of the planning process or during any part of the wedding due to their hard work. Every guest said it was the absolute best wedding they have ever attended! It was truely a fairytale wedding that we can't stop thinking about and want to relive everyday!

I attended a friend's wedding as a bridesmaid and loved this place! Not only is the location just gorgeous, but the venue itself has been thoughtfully renovated with many beautiful touches, and the staff was amazing. By the end of the weekend, I felt as though the staff were family. They were so accommodating and kind, as well as very professional and on top of every detail. Some weddings feel thrown together, but with the staff at Bishop Farms I heard several guests (including myself) say that it went off without a hitch and it was as though the ran things as a well oiled machine, but without it even being noticeable. I would hold any event here in the future with the location and staff - you'll be in the best, most capable hands!

We cannot say enough great things about Bishop Farm and the Salter family. Everything was fantastic. We stayed at their beautiful property beginning Wednesday the week of our wedding. They helped guide us through everything we needed to do to make the decorations look great. There were so many things that we would never have thought of and the Salters were there to guide us through it and made the venue look even more spectacular than it already does. And whenever we had family and friends swinging by the property, the Salters went above and beyond, helping finish decorations while we were able to spend time with our friends and family. It was absolutely amazing. I wish we could post the pictures here from our wedding because the place looked absolutely incredible. It was also an incredibly fun set up to allow all of our immediate families to stay on the site. It made an unbelievably fun week even better. And the breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday morning were delicious. I cannot speak highly enough about Bishop Farm and the Salter family. If you are thinking about having a weeding here, do not hesitate, you will be ecstatic with your decision.

There is no better place to get married! I can't begin to say how wonderful the family is that runs this venue. Heather and Annie are a great team and really know how to make each person they meet feel special. I don't think our wedding would have gone so flawlessly if they hadn't been there to guide us through the process. Not only is the location and accommodations spectacular, but Maggie makes one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. so many of our guests asked how I found such a beautiful venue and are now try to find ways to use it themselves. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a wedding or any other event you have found it with Bishop Farm.

My husband and I had our wedding last weekend at Bishop Farm. It was more than what we could ever ask for. Not only are the ceremony and reception sites beautiful and the rooms comfortable, but the people who run the venue are some of the best people we have ever met. Heather, Annie and Maggie went above and beyond to make our day the most special it could be. They handled any complications that arose quickly and quietly, helping us to enjoy the event without interruption. Their attention to detail was amazing!
