Our wedding at Normandy Farm was PERFECT, I couldn’t have asked for a better venue and night! I want to give a few shoutouts to some of their amazing staff who made planning and executing the night so easy and smooth!
PLANNING/TOURING
Brandi - Brandi was the one to give us all the information after we took our first initial tour of NF. She also helped with a ton of questions as we were going through the booking/signing/paying process.
Heather Bogen - After we officially booked, we were put in contact with Heather Bogen a few months later and I cannot say enough great things about Heather. She is organized, responsive, and super understanding. She will answer all of your questions and get back to you within minutes to hours. She is AWESOME! We also did our 30-day prior to the wedding call with Heather where we went over everything that was going to be included and filled out all the documents required by NF to ensure the day goes smoothly. Thank you for everything you did Heather, you are the best!
WEEK/DAY OF WEDDING
Marco - One awesome thing about NF is that they allow you do do a drop off appointment the week of your wedding (which helps bc I just moved to DE last year). Marco was the one to greet us at the front and do the intake form of all the stuff we brought to be dropped off (and it was a lot LOL)! Marco is thoughtful, organized, and thorough. He made sure everything was taken care of and would be set up properly. Marco is also the day of coordinator, more so on the catering side of the business. So he will help with everything but he will also make sure the timing of the food, desserts, cake, etc is perfect. Marco is amazing and I would highly recommend requesting him for your wedding! Thank you so so much Marco, you are the best!!
Heather Dreher - Heather is literally the sweetest and best Maitre D/Bridal Attendant! So Heather is basically Marco’s counter-part and they worked all day together on my wedding. Heather sent me the sweetest message back when I had a few last minute details the day before the wedding and was just so excited for me and ensured that everything would be taken care of. EVERYTHING was so so perfect on the day of the wedding, from all the details (memorial table, love through the years, guest book, etc)! Anything I needed, Heather was there for me! Did I need a tag cut off my dress? Did I need Heather to go grab my purse from the hospitality suite? Did I need to change my shoes mid-reception (and Heather even helped put them on)? HEATHER did literally everything for me and was always there if I needed anything. Thank you so so much Heather for making my wedding day so perfect, you are THE best!!
Kat - BEST BARTENDER EVER!!! Kat was awesome and super sweet to all of our guests -

just stunning
What an amazing experience from start to finish! The whole team at Normandy goes above and beyond to help make the day so special. Loved having the event coordinator so responsive to all our questions from the very start, room reservation specialist answered all our room block questions and followed up with us monthly. The Grand Ballroom was easily transformed into our reception space after we had to move our ceremony inside. Food was delicious from the cocktail hour to dinner to all the desserts. Staff was so responsive to any and all questions as needed throughout the whole process. I could go on and on but will just end it with thank you for making our daughters day the most memorable! -

If you are considering Normandy Farm for your wedding, stop what you are doing and book them! Normandy Farm was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to get married at Normandy Farm before I ever saw the inside of the building. The grounds at Normandy Farm are gorgeous let alone the inside of the ballrooms. From the sales manager to the event coordinator to the day of coordinator, everybody is absolutely phenomenal. Normandy Farm does a fantastic job of being a one stop shop. The venue, all the rentals, food, drink, decor, cake, etc. - everything is included and is definitely worth the cost. JoAnne Nelson was our event coordinator and she was fantastic. She was very quick to get back to me for all of the questions I had. Ruth ran our drop off appointment and she did a great job of confirming and relaying how exactly we envisioned the Silos ballroom looking. On the wedding day Marco was our maître d and Heather was our bridal attendant. With the two of them we did not have to worry about anything. They made sure not only was everything set up but they also broke everything down for us at the end of the night. They kept our timeline on schedule and made sure we always had food in front of us and a drink in our hands. The Farmer’s Daughter makes the most delicious food and were very accommodating for our guests who had food allergies. 10/10 would recommend anyone have their event at Normandy Farm. -

Meghan W. Sent on 08/26/2022Highly highly HIGHLY recommend having your wedding or next event at Normandy Farm!!!!
Ashley Wenger was SO helpful throughout the planning process. She was prompt in her email responses, thorough in her answers, and accommodating to our needs. When we had to change our wedding date twice due to Covid, she was flexible and understanding.
We had a lot of guests (bride included!) with dietary restrictions and allergies; Normandy Farm was so accommodating for the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and reception. For cocktail hour, they labeled the hors d’oeuvres (GF, dairy free, etc.). For the rehearsal dinner and reception, they checked in with each guest to ensure they understood each person’s dietary requirements and prepared their food differently when needed. The dinner portions at the reception were HUGE! The NY strip was prepared to each guest’s desired temperature. All guests raved about how good the food was, the large portion size, and the ability to take their leftover meal home in a doggie bag.
The entire staff (servers, bartenders, etc.) was so accommodating and appreciative of our tips. Our maitre d’ Ruth was very helpful and attentive; she was thorough and detail oriented at the drop off appointment and throughout the wedding itself. Our bridal attendant Julia was so sweet and attentive throughout our wedding, ensuring we always had a drink, frequently checking in, and anticipating our every need. Ruth and Julia are so great at their jobs! For the reception set up and clean up, the staff was so helpful - our bridal party didn’t even have to put away the centerpieces!
Having our wedding at Normandy Farm was also so amazing because everything is on site - excellent restaurant for rehearsal dinner, beautiful outdoor ceremony space, rustic indoor cocktail hour space, gorgeous Grand Ballroom for the reception, huge bar across the hall for the after party, and cozy hotel rooms to stay when the event is all over! If we could do our wedding over again, we would do it at Normandy Farm every time!!! -

Kait G. Sent on 06/28/2022Nothing compares to Normandy Farm!
You know how there are people in this world who always go with the first thing they try or see? That was our experience with Normandy Farm. Getting engaged during the pandemic was stressful and I went into planning mode almost immediately. I emailed or called over 25 venues and Normandy was easily the most responsive and helpful from the beginning. We took a tour and were completely blown away by all of the things that were included in their wedding package. Not to mention the venue itself is stunning and hotel accommodations are also on site! Hello, saving on paying for guest transportation! Brianne was our tour guide and worked with us on securing our contract. She was wonderful and so prompt with her responses. Once we were booked we were then put in contact with other staff whom all acted in the same way - professional, efficient, and lovely. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception at NF and I would not change a single thing. JoAnne was our event coordinator and I truly cannot say enough glowing things about her. She is 1) the sweetest person and 2) VERY good at her job. She has all the answers, she gets back to you quickly, and is just so clearly an expert at what she does. Our day went off without a hitch largely because of her amazing work and how organized she was. Our rehearsal was run by one of their maître d's, Ruth. She did our drop off appointment and listened to everything that we needed and talked me through everything about the day. For the wedding, our maître d was Marco. Heather was my bridal attendant. When I tell you we did not want for anything - it was non-stop 1:1 attention and service all night. I DIY'd a LOT of things for our reception in the Silos Ballroom and it was all perfectly setup. ALSO the food was amazing! People are still talking about it with us weeks later. The mac and cheese bar was my favorite part and our bridal attendant even brought me an entire bowl with all the toppings to our table during dinner when I told her I hadn't gotten to enjoy it during cocktail hour. Truly it was better than I could have ever imagined. The staff even added complementary décor that went along with my theme to fill out some of the tables.
Everyone we worked with was so friendly, so patient, and so knowledgeable. I loved our day and recommend Normandy Farm 1000 times over for couples who are looking for a venue that is completely amazing at what they do. THANK YOU SO MUCH! -

SO GOOD. Professional, hospitable, organized, and a beautiful venue, one-stop shop made it a seamless, easy event.
WOW, they really know what they're doing. My guests had the best experience. The food was incredible, the staff were professional, the venue room was lovely, and the entire hotel is very "rustic chic", homey and quaint. Having a one-stop shop was perfect, SO easy for guests, vendors, and the wedding party. Before choosing Normandy, I evaluated a bunch of wedding vendors, listing over 60 of them in Excel for price, what's included, vibe of the venue, etc (it was the pandemic and I needed a hobby) and Normandy was by far the best. So much value. I can't wait to come back here for my one-year anniversary. They were incredibly responsive, efficient, professional, accommodating, hospitable - I can't say enough good things about them. I did my own flowers and they worked around me, making sure my very detail-oriented (extra) vision for the event came to life. WOULD RECOMMEND.
P.S. One of my bridesmaid hid my ipad in a drawer in the hotel room during photography, and I ended up leaving it. Normandy was very accommodating in helping me find it a week after the wedding, offering to get it to me in Philly (a 40 minute drive away), having people run up to check the room, etc. I felt taken care of. -

Emily Sent on 03/09/2022Loved Normandy Farm
We had our wedding at Normandy Farm in February 2022 and we booked in February 2020. Joanne Nelson was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire planning process. We scheduled several calls to walk through different aspects of the planning and Joanne was always helpful. The day of our wedding, our bridal attendant was Maddie, she was absolutely amazing! She was helpful in bustling my wedding dress before our cocktail hour and checked throughout the reception to make sure it wasn't falling out. She was organized and made sure that none of our items went missing throughout the night. Overall, Normandy Farm was organized, kind, and hardworking to make our day special. We absolutely loved the venue and cannot recommend it enough.

Courtney B. Sent on 11/04/2021Normandy was a Dream to work with
We had our wedding in the Silos Ballroom at Normandy with ~115 guests. I would recommend this venue to any bride. The service was incredible on all fronts, from hotel room block management, event coordination, day of service, food quality, everything was incredible and very affordable compared to many other venues we looked at. You really can't beat having a hotel at the same site as the reception, it makes everything so much simpler. The only recommendation I have for them is to have a bit more flexible for meeting times after booking, as two working professionals, I was a bit surprised when every initial meeting time was between 9-5 on Mon-Fri. We were always able to find a time that suited after a couple different suggestions. This was the only thing that was less than ideal. Normandy truly was a dream to work with on all other accounts. The event coordinator responsiveness was very speedy and she was always very helpful and truly made us feel like she wanted to do everything in her power for us to have a perfect day. The team managing the hotel room block was INCREDIBLE, we had a lot of requests that they managed flawlessly and always with a smile. The day of bridal attendant made the entire event flawless. She went above and beyond to help our family get situated, packed us up with extra food, and made sure there was always a drink in our hands. -

I LOVE normandy farm. My experience was so great and the service was excellent. From the very beginning to the very last minute of the reception, I felt at ease and so happy with my choice. They are very clear regarding pricing and what is offered to you. Each step along the way is so simple and easy. People rave about our wedding and the venue. They loved the location, the hotel, the food, the booze, the atmosphere - we loved it all, too! 10/10 would recommend a hundred times again. -

Normandy Farm provided us with the most perfect, fairytale wedding. I wouldn't have changed a think about my wedding there. Our wedding planner Ashley was amazing and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was so organized and taken care of for us. They truly thought of everything. All of our guests has a fantastic time and were raving about Normandy Farm! The rustic yet modern feel of the venue was exactly what I was looking for. But honestly, THE FOOD is the best part!! Everything served was over the top and unbelievably delicious. We've already been back to the venue's restaurant twice since our wedding! We are already asking our friends to get married here so we can go back and celebrate again! -

Caitlin Sent on 05/15/2019Gorgeous venue!
I cannot say enough good things about Normandy Farms. We got married in the Silos ballroom and it was an absolutley magical day. My bridal attendant, Linda made me feel like it was MY day. She made sure to help me with literally everything without any complaints. Shantelle, my maitre-de was also amazing. These ladies worked well together and made sure to make the day all about me. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. My guests couldn’t get over just how beautifully decorated everything was. I have a few guests now considering having their weddings there as well! -

Normandy Farm was amazing! They made everything so easy on us, both while planning and on our wedding day. It really was a one-stop-shop. They included the catering, bar, cake, rentals, etc. We had our ceremony & reception at the venue & our guests were able to party at the bar on-site afterwards and stay at the hotel for the night. It was so easy & so beautiful! -
Kira Sent on 03/02/2018It was a dream come true. I cannot recommend this venue enough! They were thorough from start to finish. They kept on top of me as I definitely got behind with deadlines but the day, the day was everything and more!
Thank you to everyone at Normandy! -

Samantha Sent on 12/20/2017Normandy Farm was our perfect wedding venue! We toured the venue and fell in love. The fact that everything can be done in one place is so convenient. Our room was breathtaking (Silos Ballroom), so we booked right away. During the entire planning process, our coordinator, Ashley, was always available. She was so easy to work with and always answered our crazy questions. Normandy Farm is a very reputable wedding venue, so they know how to make everything as easy as possible for the bride and groom. We loved the food at the tasting, and it tasted even better on the day of the wedding! We loved that we got 12 passed appetizers during cocktail hour. All of our guests raved about how great everything was. Our day of attendant, Emily, was awesome! She always made sure we had a drink in our hands and accommodated all of our requests. We had an after party at the restaurant inside of the hotel, and that was a hit as well. One thing I will say is that the hotel aspect of the entire experience was slightly disappointing. The one major selling point for us was that this venue had a hotel on site so that none of our guests would have to worry about traveling. The hotel was booked on our wedding night almost a year before our wedding! We were unable to add any more rooms to our block which really didn't sit well with me since that was one of the main selling points for us. When it came time to checkin for our wedding, our room was not ready when we needed to check in, there was no full length mirror in the bridal suite (seriously?? What bride doesn't want to see herself in full on her wedding day?) and it was not easy having someone get one to us, and we overall felt like a burden rather than an important wedding party. Although these things are a shame, it did not effect our wedding day or our overall feelings about Normandy Farm. We are excited to visit and have dinner at The Farmer's Daughter and stay in the West Gatehouse for years to come on our anniversary!!
