The Black Walnut Farm team gave us such an incredible wedding weekend. My bride and I had the most magnificent day - it was everything I had ever dreamed of, and everything my fiance had never believed possible. It's been the utmost pleasure working with Sarah, Jim, Lish and the entire team, and getting to know them as human beings as well. Everyone at Black Walnut Farm was incredibly kind and professional, and we really saw all the ways they went above and beyond. Our guests could not have said kinder things about the whole property, and staying in the farmhouse brought nearly as much joy as being in the barn for our reception. We know this chapter of thier business is really just getting started to we truly wish them the best of luck and look forward to celebrating all the milestones in the years ahead. -

We cannot recommend Black Walnut Farm enough—it was the perfect place for the wedding of our dreams! From the breathtaking forest ceremony site that felt like stepping into a fairytale, to the warm and vibrant barn that created the ideal setting for our reception and dance party, to the sprawling wildflower gardens that surrounded our golden cocktail hour — every part of the venue is magical. The venue owners, Sarah and Jim, were incredible to work with—so flexible and supportive in helping us create a wedding that truly reflected us. They not only encouraged our own ideas but also suggested thoughtful details we wouldn’t have considered on our own, making our day even more special. It felt like a true collaboration and both my wife and I felt understood by them in this partnership. What really stood out is how effortlessly beautiful and well-equipped the venue is. We only added some simple table flowers, and that was it! It’s truly a “ready-to-go” venue that makes wedding planning so much easier while still looking stunning. We’re already looking forward to attending more events at Black Walnut Farm so we can keep the connection to this incredible place. It’s not just a venue—it’s a place that feels alive with love and celebration. If you’re considering it for your wedding, stop searching—you’ve found your perfect spot! -

Eliza Sent on 10/08/2024Want a magical, "backyard" wedding in nature?!
Having our wedding at Black Walnut Farm with Sarah & Jim was the best decision we made. We wanted our event to feel like we were having it in our own backyard - if our backyard had sprawling fields and a gorgeous, 19-century barn! It ended up being just that, guests felt so comfortable and at-home at the space. Not to mention how magical the back woods are for the ceremony! The venue was so rich in history and you could feel it being there. Sarah & Jim personalize the experience so much so you really know that your day is yours - and yours alone! They made our wedding and the experience planning it so meaningful to us, and we couldn't thank them enough. -

Jim and Sarah of Black Walnut Farm have created a haven for love. Every inch of their 34 acres is carefully curated for a truly magical experience. As Matt and I approached our forest ceremony enclave, filled with our loved ones, the happy tears were instant thanks to their attention to detail. We chose Black Walnut Farm, after exploring numerous venues, because of their perfectly decorated barn complete with 4 foot disco ball, manicured gardens, equally charming farmhouse to stay the weekend with family, smore station, popcorn machine, audio guestbook, and of course their property manager, Miss Lily, the barn cat. What we didn’t expect to be included in our wedding package was the amount of care, energy, support, and love we felt from Jim, Sarah, and the staff at Black Walnut Farm as they effortlessly managed the most memorable day of our lives. Thank you for making our dreams come true and for being the best wedding venue we could ask for! There is no place like Black Walnut Farm. -

When our original venue cancelled on us 4 months before our big day, we did not ever think we would find a new venue -let alone one we loved. But fate worked its magic and led us to Black Walnut Farm, where Sarah & Jim made all of our dreams come true. Their commitment to each couple paired with the incredible venue and all of its perks made this venue the perfect place for my wife and I to tie the knot. I feel so incredibly grateful to have found BWF, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful barn wedding. I can't say thank you enough! -

Our wedding at Black Walnut Farm was nothing short of magical and truly felt like it was built to host our special day. From the moment we set foot on the grounds, we were enchanted by the charming vintage touches, luxurious feel, and unique rustic beauty that surrounded us. The beautifully restored barn, set amidst the woods, provided the perfect backdrop for our rustic chic fairytale wedding.
Sarah, Jim, and the team at Black Walnut Farm went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our day was perfect. From the initial meeting where we discussed our vision for the wedding, to the day of the event itself, they truly exceeded our expectations.
The venue's unique offerings, such as the green retro Ford truck and cool photo lounge, added an extra touch of charm and personality to our day. They even included lawn games, an amazing bonfire/firepit (and smore's!), fresh popcorn, and an audio guestbook housed in a vintage phone booth. One of my favorite touches was a beautiful oversized mirror also which doubled as our welcome sign! The farm house, where we got ready, was the perfect spot for us to prepare for the day ahead, with its quaint and unique beauty. Further, as grand as the venue was, there was something so personal and special about this setting for this meetings of our lives and families.
Sarah's warmth and care were evident throughout the entire planning process, and Jim's creativity and hard work made the magic happen. Through all the stresses of wedding planning, we felt that we had real partner in this venue and its stewards. We are forever grateful that they decided to start this venue together.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue, and our photographer even remarked on how it was "not just another ballroom venue." We said our I do's at the meadow ceremony site with a beautiful line of trees in the background, and it was absolutely perfect.
Thank you, Sarah and Jim, for making our wedding day beyond our wildest dreams. Your passion, dedication, and creativity made our day unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the memories we created at Black Walnut Farm. -

An incredible venue. So many options for how you want your perfect wedding to unfold. We loved how our guests could dance it up in the barn, relax and catch up by the fire pit and explore the lush property.
The Barn itself is like a fever dream. An impressive disco ball, a unique seating area for guests and more than enough space for all your wildest dancing guests.
We are so grateful to the owners for having such a one of a kind venue and experience for our perfect wedding day! -

Far exceeded our expectations
Black Walnut Farm is an unbelievable venue that far exceeded our expectations for our wedding. Beyond the incredible property, the owners are excellent to work with from your first tour to even after your event.
To start, the barn and the surrounding grounds look incredible and are so beautifully manicured. So many of our guests complimented the venue. The staff also blended very seamlessly with our caterer. We used Bridge Creek Catering, who were unbelievably on top of it, and between the venue and the caterers there wasn’t a single hiccup.
Sarah’s day-of coordination definitely tied everything together and gave us a ton of confidence that event would run smoothly.
We rented a tent for our reception and had it placed on the main lawn. The scene behind us, wild grass and a line of trees, is absolutely stunning in our photos. And the ceremony space in the woods is honestly magical.
The farmhouse on the property, where the wedding party can stay for the duration of their weekend, is so comfortable and classic. The MASSIVE fireplace in the parlor is so amazing. And who doesn’t love a hot tub?
We can’t say enough good things about Black Walnut. -

The Best of the Best
We're not honestly sure where to begin with how over-the-moon ecstatic and thrilled we were to have our wedding at Black Walnut Farm. Let us start by saying that Jim & Sarah are the most amazing venue managers/people you will ever meet. Anything we needed help with, any questions we had, any concerns we wanted addressed, they handled them quickly and respectfully.
Our original venue lost their permits and canceled on us 4 months before our wedding. To say we were stressed is an understatement. Somehow, through some magic of the universe, we found BWF. It was even better than our original place, and had everything we wanted. We found out they were brand new and didn't exist yet when we were looking. So, it was truly a blessing in disguise. Both Sarah & Jim jumped to help us gather our thoughts, our stresses and our ideas to bring our dream day back to life.
Black Walnut Farm is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue (especially if you're looking for a fall wedding, as we did). Our dream wedding was always "vintage fairytale" and it provided that vibe to a T, with versatility for other themes as well. From the rustic cottage (that turned out to basically be our dream home); to the barn itself with its farm-style picnic tables and mismatched chairs (a dream of the bride's); to the grounds - everything is meticulously cared for. All the decor is designed beautifully and artistically by the two of them with each item being picked for specific reasons. Plus, you get Miss Lily, the Pro-purr-ty Manager, as an honorary wedding guest, so that was an excellent plus.
Seriously though, if you're looking for a wedding venue in the area and you want a place where the managers are willing to go above and beyond and ensure your perfect day is exactly that; we honestly believe that you can not find a better option than Black Walnut Farm. All of our guests can't stop raving about how perfect it was and how beautiful everything turned out to be.
We can't wait to come back and visit for an anniversary down the road so that we can relive the most perfect day in our relationship thanks to Jim & Sarah and their attention to detail. We could write a novel on our love and appreciation for BWF.
We joke that they are our fairy godparents but they are so much more than that. They are magic-makers, loving friends, and truly own something special. Do NOT hesitate on Black Walnut Farm. -
