Caboose Farm Reviews

This venue is gorgeous, super clean and so informative! My fiancé and I were in awe of the options that were presented to us. The numerous ceremony locations all offered something different but were all equally as beautiful. I would (and have) recommend this venue to anyone

We are so grateful to have hosted our wedding weekend at Caboose Farm. We wanted a full weekend “experience” for our guests and everyone loved being able to stay on the property for the whole weekend. Our guests raved about this venue and everyone said this was different than any wedding they had ever been to, in the best way possible. It felt like we were at a summer camp!

This was a casual, laid back venue, with so much natural beauty that we only needed minimal decor. There were so many great options for our ceremony site, and we chose to have a tent for our reception, although not necessary.

Colby deserves his own review—he is the GOAT. Whenever there was a potential worry or problem, he had already solved it by the time we thought of it. He was diligent, organized, helpful, supportive, and honestly just a fun guy to be around. He alleviated so many stressors and ensured that our weekend that we planned without a wedding planner, went smoothly.

We could not have imagined our wedding weekend going any better. We love Caboose!

Our wedding at Caboose Farm was everything we could have dreamed of. With friends and family traveling from all over, having the entire property with the charming Airbnbs was such a blessing. It allowed us to be fully present, surrounded by our loved ones throughout the weekend, and created a warm, intimate atmosphere.

The venue itself was stunning and so peaceful. Colby and the rest of the Caboose Farm team, know their stuff and don't skip the details. They even made sure the mowing schedule (of the extremely large property) was aligned with our visit. They were attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, making us feel truly cared for on such an important day.

Fantastic communication, stunning wedding venue, positive staff environment

We loved our experience at Caboose! As stressful as weddings can be, Colby and his team ensured we had everything we needed to make our wedding a time filled with fun, laughter, and special moments with our family and friends.

We got several messages from our guests after the wedding noting how beautiful the venue is and how professional and kind the venue staff is. And I couldn’t agree more.

Colby and Katy are THE BEST to work with; very accommodating, helpful, and best of all - very responsive!!! (Quick replies to emails, and texts in the weeks leading up). We had creative ideas to try and they went with it; truly the day of went off without a hitch (who can say that)? Best part is definitely that everyone can stay on the property - we booked out the entire venue + 7 houses and split the cost by the number of rooms we could occupy which worked out perfectly! 32 rooms we used. It was like adult camp - up in the mountains, but still very easy to access. We did the ceremony at the "top of the hill" which was BEAUTIFUL. We got lucky with the weather (July) but there are backup options in case it's too hot or rainy. We had 111 guests (plus 2 photog, videog, DJ, etc) and did the whole dinner downstairs and it was absolutely fine! We paid extra to buy out for the weekend and had a chilled welcome party on Friday evening with lawn games. Main thing to note is you're responsible for all your own decor - so either plan to pay extra for a florist or a day of coordinator if you have a ton of decor - otherwise check in a day early and put up your own. The venue comes with day of venue coordinator (who communicates with your vendors), but they don't do decorations or cleanup (the caterers clean up). Also, I wouldn't put this much effort into a review if they didn't knock it out of the park, so here we are.

One more note - we got married July 20th; if it was a week ahead of time it would have been a heat wave, but our weekend weather was PERFECT, high of 81 low of 67, no rain.

Sat dinner - Carriage House catering - they were perfect (we paid more for them but they know the venue WELL)

Caboose Farm was the perfect location for our wedding. This venue is so unique with the ability to rent out all of the homes on the property for the entirety of the weekend. It was a no brainer that this was the perfect location for us since we were having so many people traveling to us for the wedding weekend. We had our ceremony at The Glade location on the property. It was incredibly beautiful even with all the rain we had on our wedding day. Colby and his whole team were amazing to work with, everything was seamless. As the bride my day of experience I didn't have a worry in the world that my wedding planner and Colby could pull it all together. I don't know if all brides get to say that but I had full trust in his team. Colby clearly cares for this venue and the experience for everyone, most importantly the couple but also for all the guests that you have in attendance. I would absolutely recommend this place to any bride looking for a beautiful, enchanted, and relaxing (as much as a wedding can be) location.

Thank you Colby and your team, our day was one of pure magic and it was definitely in part from you all.

Our wedding at Caboose Farm was truly enchanting, exceeding all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and ensured every detail was taken care of. The venue itself was so picturesque, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day.

One of the highlights was the exceptional service provided by the team. They were attentive, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We felt reassured and supported throughout the event.

We are incredibly grateful to Caboose Farm for hosting our dream wedding. The memories created in that beautiful setting will stay with us forever. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to create their own magical moments.

I was impressed with Caboose Farm from the day we first toured it. I was happy to be included in the planning with my son and future daughter in-law. We were all very excited about the venue and impressed with the attentiveness of Colby. The wedding weekend went off seamlessly. There's always a lot of anticipation leading up to it. I am so impressed with the caring service and attention to detail that Colby and everyone at Caboose Farm provided. Their list of vedors also proved very helpful. Most were chosen from the list and all provided exceptional service. It was just a beautiful weekend from start to finish.

My wife and I had our wedding at Caboose Farm this June. We hosted about 70 people on the houses on the property over the weekend and it could not have gone more smoothly. We were in constant communication with Colby over the year or so leading up to the event and he was consistently responsive and thorough. We definitely peppered him with questions often and Colby always responded in a timely manner and anticipated follow-up questions we might have. Working with Colby and his team allowed us to step back from the stress of the wedding weekend and really focus on enjoying the time with friends and family. Our guests loved the accommodations and were impressed with the cleanliness and how close they were to each other and to great hiking.

If you're looking for a venue that is flexible, organized, and allows you to be hands off on your wedding day, we absolutely recommend Caboose Farm.

Myself and my husband used caboose farms for our baby shower and Colby as well as the rest of the staff was attentive, kind, and always on standby to meet all our needs ! We last minute planned a tiny wedding since our new bundle of joy would be here soon and after planning the baby shower I was exhausted. The staff at caboose farms didn’t hesitate to ask how they could help with the sudden addition of a wedding on! The venue is beautiful, spacious and cozy! Would highly recommend this for all your needs !

Caboose Farms was the perfect fit for our intimate micro wedding. The venue coordinator, Colby, went above and beyond to support my husband and I in our planning. He was always quick to respond to my numerous questions and helped me with everything from our weather contingency plan to our timeline. On the day of, everything went seamlessly and the Caboose Farm team worked so well with my vendors to ensure our guests were comfortable. It was cold and rainy on our Spring wedding day and without question they went ahead and setup a warm coffee bar. It was the little touches like this that really stood out to us and enhanced the experience for everyone. As for our photo experience, the property offers a vast array of photo opportunities as it spans acres of land. It has every scenery you could possibly ask for- woods, meadows, streams, a small lake, and all of the beautiful historic houses on the property. We were able to use the Washington House for our Bridal Suite and it was so cozy and cute. We got married in the indoor space - the Main Event Barn and had our reception in the bar area. It was the perfect size for our 45 guest wedding, though they could easily host upwards of 100s of guests with their outdoor ceremony spots. Overall so happy!

We were able to host a wonderful weekend getaway at caboose and it was the perfect fit. The site was beautiful, very flexible, and so many cute spots for photo op’s. We host this retreat annually and are looking forward to coming back!

I corresponded about once a month with Colby during my time leading up to the wedding. He always provided me with the information I needed in order to plan my own wedding. On the day before the wedding I met Katy who asked all the important questions to make sure the following day would work out flawlessly. In all my own frenzy I probably answered about 70% of her questions, leaving her to step in and work out the remaining details with limited guidance. Her professionalism and quick thinking for each scenario, even with a less-traditionally organized wedding meant that everyone was able to focus on enjoying themselves. My favorite part about Caboose Farm was there was so much flexibility around how we would organize each portion and overall schedule. This was a big breath of fresh air compared to many other venues with early cut-off times and other strict requirements around 3rd party vendors.

Finally, the on-site accommodation was perfect given the location and all the out of town guests we had. Just make sure to consider which guests you're putting in the house which is a short drive away (compared to the other ones which are all walking distance).

I realize that many people routinely check five stars. I am not that kind of person. With that being said I would give ten stars on a five star scale. The site and facilities are awesome. More importantly, you want a person affiliated with the site that will respond in a timely manner and provide good sound advice. Colby went above and beyond what we expected in that regard. We contacted him on several occasions by phone, text and email. In every instance he was quick to respond and provided outstanding advice. We checked several other venues and are so glad we chose Caboose Farm. Not sure how other venues are but if you choose Caboose Farm you know that you will have an awesome wedding/event.

Absolutely beautiful venue. Colby and his staff was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

We choose our special day to take place at Caboose Farm and we do not regret our decision one bit. We had an absolute perfect wedding day and could not have asked for a better day. The property and houses are absolutely stunning. Colby and Nicole made the whole process of planning and getting everything set up a breeze. Through out the process of planning we had a ton of questions but they were always answered quick which took a lot of stress away! The day of they made sure everything was running smooth and we were able to enjoy our day which we definitely did. They provided us a day we will remember and rejoice for the rest of our lives, an absolute perfect day! For anyone thinking of going with them don’t hesitate to do it. You will not regret your choice! Thank you Caboose Farms

My husband and I are so happy that we decided to have our wedding at Caboose Farm. The reception venue and ceremony options were stunning, scenic, and well maintained. Caboose offers numerous on-site home rentals, which we took full advantage of. Our families and us ended up renting 5 of the homes on the property. Each home was well maintained and beautifully decorated. Staying on the property truly made it feel like a destination wedding. Colby & Katie were so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly and was taken care of. They were so accommodating and responsive with any questions we had. I would recommend Caboose farm to any couples getting married.

I reached out to Caboose Farm very last minute trying to throw something together for our 10 year anniversary. We were offered the Rustic Barn with access to the bathrooms in the house beside the barn. Everything was so organized and welcoming and clean. The barn was cleared with a table as we asked. It had a table cloth and flowers and a card. The immediate responses and care reaching out to make sure we felt accommodated were so on point. The hospitality felt so positive that it also felt rare to be treated with that caliber of kindness. Highly recommended this beautiful venue!

I could write a novel on why you should choose Caboose Farm as your wedding venue. For starters, it is GORGEOUS. My husband and I got married hereOctober 2023, and it couldn’t have been a more picturesque location. You’re surrounded by the Catoctin mountains, and the fall foliage was such an added bonus on top of the already amazing views. There are several outdoor locations on the property you can choose from (in addition to the indoor event barn) to have your ceremony at. All are so uniquely different and beautiful.
There are multiple houses on the property that you have the option to stay at. This was immediately a huge selling point. The houses are immaculate, filled with character, charm, and history-not to mention they are BIG, so you can fit so many of your wedding party, family members, etc in them. It truly gives you the whole “wedding weekend” package. There was something so special about arriving to the venue the Friday before and checking into the houses, knowing they were all yours for the weekend, and all of the festivities that would take place. At the end of the night when the reception ended, the guests that chose to stay in the houses could all come back. It was such a fun “after party” vibe all right there. Nothing was better than changing into comfy clothes, and continuing the celebration with your closest family and friends into the night.
Our absolute number one selling point was Colby and his team at Caboose Farm. We toured the venue, and immediately knew we didn’t need to tour any others. Caboose Farm was, without a doubt, the one. Colby’s attention to detail is unmatched. We booked our venue just shy of two years before the wedding date, and in that time period Colby answered any and every question imaginable that I had. He ensured that our day ran seamlessly. From the morning of, and throughout the entire day Colby was on top of everything, communicating with all of our different vendors, making sure everything was coming together harmoniously.
We took our wedding photos while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour, and he transported us, our photographer and videographer around the property to the best photo locations, making things extremely efficient, as well as keeping us on schedule. Since we missed our cocktail hour hors devours he even brought a sampler of them and a few drinks out to us and our wedding party during pictures so we wouldn’t miss out. Anything I could think of, Colby and his team were already two steps ahead.
Our family and guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, and how overall fun it was that we could all stay on property. It really gave that “destination wedding at home” feel.
Colby and his team are so genuine, and we are so happy with our decision to have our wedding here.

Having our wedding at Caboose in October was the best decision! Nestled in the beautiful Catoctin Mountains, it was the perfect setting for a weekend-long celebration. We loved having multiple location options for the ceremony and reception. The site we choose for our ceremony, The Glade, is absolutely breathtaking in the fall. Unfortunately, we had to move our ceremony indoors due to rain, but even the indoor space was beautiful and cozy. The Caboose staff were very flexible in figuring out our last-minute ceremony change. Colby, the venue coordinator, was so responsive and helpful at every step of the way, and was also so patient with my endless questions. He worked so well with all of our vendors, and his wealth of experience in this industry was very evident in all of our interactions. One of the big factors that made us choose this venue is the multiple homes on the property that are available for guests to rent. We knew would have several out-of-town (and even out-of country) family members in attendance, and we wanted to offer them an easy place to stay for the wedding weekend. All of the homes were beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed, and the views were gorgeous! It made it feel like a family reunion. One of the memories I'll treasure from our wedding weekend was the beautiful early morning walk around the backtrails around the property. It was so peaceful and lovely. Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding where the outdoors are the star of the show!

Looking for a venue that is unique, spacious and gorgeous? With amazing staff that listens to you and is responsive? A place that will WOW your guests with amazing features and stand out views? Then stop looking because you just found it. Caboose Farms is literally amazing. A three story event barn featuring a BEAUTIFUL reception space with spiral (!!) staircase! A gorgeous bar with a movie theater! A third floor game room! And a wrap around porch to check out amazing sunsets in the mountains! Our coordinators, Colby and Nicole, made everything so easy from deciding on a ceremony location (there are 5 to choose from!) to walking us through rain plans to helping us come up with the best way to set up the reception area, they were with us every step of the way! They also gave us solid leads on amazing vendors that are familiar with their gorgeous property to ensure a smooth day! I literally cannot gush about what a great experience we had with them. Be sure to check out their rental houses too! It was so nice to be able to have the whole bridal party stay on site! What a great, great venue! 10/10 recommend! They helped us have the most magical backdrop to the best day ever!

My husband and I got married at Caboose Farm in September 2023, and we cannot say enough great things about the venue, as well as Colby, Katie, and team! We were searching for a wedding venue that could house our immediate family for a small, intimate wedding weekend, that would enable an outdoor ceremony and the ability for us to cook meals together throughout the weekend. Caboose Farm more than delivered! – with their numerous, picturesque options for outdoor ceremonies, multiple spacious farmhouses, and the event house where we had a beautiful catered reception, everything exceeded expectations. Colby and Katie were so kind and patient, working diligently to ensure that all details were coordinated for, and keep everything on track. In addition to their amazing support, they also provided fantastic recommendations for nearby vendors to work with for anything not provided on-site (such as catering and photography). Our family could not stop commenting on how beautiful the grounds were, or how convenient it was that everyone could have their own space, but still be within walking distance of meals, activities, and the ceremony. We cannot wait to go back to Caboose Farm for additional festivities!

Caboose Farm is a wonderful venue. We had the perfect wedding weekend. (The rehearsal dinner and staying in the houses) Colby and the staff are excellent and it all went vent exceedingly well.
