Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm Reviews

The moment we stepped foot on the grounds at Kalmia or Gastler Farm we both knew it was the space for such a special occasion. The surge of excitement followed by a "can we please take a second look"? prompted us to call the wedding search off...we found it! The dream team here at Gastler (special shout outs to Leah, Vanessa, Kristen & Randy) were simply superb. They turned a vision into a beautiful reality!

I am thrilled for this wedding venue and all it's future and fellow Bride's and Grooms to share the love this property has to offer. A true 4th generation farm and the love bestowed upon its grounds eminently shows.

The team here didn't stop at an initial phone call. Multiple meetings and virtual calls allowed us a mutual & proper understanding. Their efforts on the day of were BEYOND! They made sure we had everything we needed and also helped to create the whimsical and cozy vision we spent years planning for.

Thank you for making our dreams come true! We can't wait to visit soon. Love you all as family.

Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm was our magical venue for our intimate outdoor COVID wedding in October 2020. So much about planning a celebration during that time was stressful, but having the actual day at Gastler put us at peace. Leah was so relaxed, helpful and accommodating – we had an entire day before to work on setup, and the whole following day to break down (and drink leftover champagne on the steps of the beautiful farmhouse).

The grounds are STUNNING – you only need little touches as decoration. There are gardens and ornamental trees everywhere as the backdrop. And so many lovely settings for different parts of the event, like an outdoor ceremony space surrounded by a gorgeous stone wall and hydrangeas, a rustic gazebo with twinkle lights for a bar, a fire pit for late-night fun, & a huge patio to set up a tent & tables for meal and dancing. Our portraits in the trees & gardens with the sun setting make us so happy.

If you’re someone who enjoys DIY, this venue is the dream. If not, you can bring in whatever vendors you want to make your vision happen! The farm is in my hometown, and will always be the most special place to go back and visit. We can’t thank Gastler Farm enough for the memories.

Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm is a dream, I would recommend this venue a thousand times over!! My husband and I had always envisioned an outdoor wedding that was charming, natural and intimate - yet spacious enough for our ideal guestlist (125). A family friend suggested we take a look at Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm and I knew from the first look that it was exactly aligned with our dream wedding.

The property is endlessly stunning with beautiful gardens, grass lawn space, a handmade stone wall (where we had our ceremony), a super cute gazebo (where we served cocktail hour), an arboretum (that provided a perfect setting for photos) and plenty of parking. The team at Kalmia Garden was wonderful to work with and was very flexible with how we wanted to personalize the wedding set up, decorations and flow of the day. The on site space available for myself, my husband and our wedding party to prepare was perfect, and allowed for a stress-free day leading up to the ceremony and reception.

My husband and I had the best time at our wedding, and we owe so much of that to Kalmia Garden at Gastler Farm and their team!

We cannot say enough great things about
Gastler Farm! We had our June 2022 wedding and reception on the grounds, I wanted a venue where we could bring our own local vendors and make the space really custom-it was perfect. Beautiful greenery/ tons of photo options all over the grounds, great indoor space for getting the wedding party ready, plenty of outdoor space for two tents for cocktail hour and reception, and a mobile bar cart! Leah Gastler was so accommodating with multiple visits for planning, and attentive day-of with last minute details. Great small town venue, hidden gem!
