Pond View Farms - Excellent
Pond View Farms is a wonderful place to have your wedding ceremony and reception. It is a one stop shop which includes amazing staff, food, and an onsite place to get ready. From the cleanliness to the professionalism given to all of the guest this place is a gem. Nick, the manager, is very responsive, knowledgeable, and will answer your questions as you go throughout the process of planning your wedding without hesitation.
The rehearsal dinner was also seamless and you can choose to have dinner at the site on the day of your rehearsal. I cannot express how much this facility is an amazing place to be married and I encourage everyone to consider when finding a venue.-

Pond View Pit Crew (offsite Catering) - INCREDIBLE
Pond View Catering (Pond View Pit Crew) was recommended to us by a family member who had attended a wedding they catered, and choosing them was easily one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process! Nick and Lindsay were amazing to work with — always responsive, attentive, and straightforward every step of the way.
Our wedding was on October 11, 2025, and our tasting took place back in February. During the tasting, Nick mentioned that for fall weddings he often includes apple turnovers or apple pie bites as part of the assorted desserts, and he even made some for us to try. We absolutely loved them and told him so at the time. Fast forward to our 30-day check-in call in September, and one of the first things he brought up was the apple pie bites — he had remembered how much we loved them months later! That level of attention and care truly stood out to us.
On the wedding day, the entire crew was wonderful — professional, kind, and attentive. The food was incredible! Everything was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and served hot and fresh. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts. We received so many compliments after the wedding about how it was “the best wedding food they’ve ever had.”
During the reception, one of our grandparents experienced a medical incident, and without hesitation, the bartender (provided by Pond View) stepped in to help. We later learned she had medical training and, along with two retired EMT guests, handled everything quickly and with compassion. Our grandma is now back in perfect health, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care and composure the team showed in such a stressful moment.
Pond View Catering went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend them enough. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and their team truly cares about their couples. If you’re looking for a catering team that delivers both amazing food and heartfelt service, look no further than Pond View -

Catering and venue
We chose to have them cater our wedding eand the food was amazing, everyone complimented it! While they are their own wedding venue they outsource their catering, which was how we got to work with them. Nick and his staff were great to work with and were helpful to creating a menu perfect for us! -

We love Pond View Farm!
Pond View Farm was an incredible venue with fantastic staff! We wanted our wedding day to be in the beauty of nature and greenery, but also wanted something with a roof in case it rained - PVF was the perfect venue for us! In addition, the food was phenomenal and we definitely saved a substantial amount of money by PVF allowing couples to bring in their own alcohol. Despite our wedding day being 95+ degrees, the giant ceiling fans in the barn + shade in the pavilion kept things reasonably comfortable, and our guests loved everything about their PVF experience. The animals on the property were a huge hit as well.
There was no juggling between 10 venue contacts here; Nick helped us during our initial venue walkthrough, selecting catering options, and was there cooking the day of. We would also highly recommend hiring Lindsey, their month of coordinator. She was extremely helpful in setting our timeline, decorating day of (even using some of her own creativity & decorations to elevate our ambiance), and making sure things ran smoothly (troubleshooting a bus hiccup 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle). Lindsay is also cool and feels like an old friend, which we appreciated in someone we were entrusting to execute one of the best days of our lives. Nick + Lindsay + the PVF team knocked it out of the park; we wish we got to do it all over again!

Perfect wedding at Pond View Farm
Pond View Farm is a beautiful farm and venue that we highly recommend. We had a great experience working with Nick and the Pond View Farm team for our wedding. From the initial tour of the venue to the food tastings and final meeting leading up to our wedding day, our interactions with Nick were very positive. He is very professional and responsive, and the venue is kept pristinely clean and maintained. We used several of the vendors on their preferred list and were happy with their recommendations. We could not have envisioned a better place to get married. Thanks for contributing to the best wedding experience. -

Amazing Caterer!
Pond View Farm catered our wedding and we can’t say enough good things about them! Nick was great to work with! He was personable, quick to reply, and very helpful. We heard countless times from friends and family how amazing the food was (especially the Mac and Cheese!). The crew went above and beyond to help make our day a success! We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding caterer! -

Amazing 100% recommend
Pond View Farm was the most gorgeous venue for our Spring 2023 wedding. The setting is breathtaking and beautiful, the venue is extremely clean, and the Staff was amazing. Pond View did everything they could to make our wedding day as special and perfect as possible. Specifically, Nick was so helpful, responsive, responsible, and knowledgeable. Nick knew exactly what he was doing so it was very easy to put our confidence into him. Additionally, the food was delicious - I cannot say how many guests I had contact me after the wedding to tell me, one, how beautiful the wedding was, and two, how amazing the food was. If you are looking to book your wedding or an upcoming event you should 100% take a look at Pond View because I highly recommend it. If I had to do my wedding over again, I wouldn't change a thing and that is a huge thanks to Pond View and Nick. -

Simply the Best
When we started wedding planning we knew we wanted a barn wedding. Pond View Farm is not only stunning, but the staff is truly incredible. From start to finish we had an amazing experience. Nick is just the best! He was always quick to respond to emails, helpful in planning, always kind and always provided great insights to assist when we got stuck. We we planned our wedding from across the country and because I Nick I never stressed about anything. We were able to get in and set up ahead of time which made the day of way less stressful. The suites are absolutely perfect for the day off. As a horse person I loved the fact that there are some horses and cows on the property. And one of the owners kindly offered to bring the bridal party in on a horse dawn carriage. It was truly an added touch that I did not expect but am so grateful we had that. We had a handful of guests who did not want to dance so they hung out in the cocktail hour area, where it was a bit quieter, and so many people said how nice it was to be able to sit and chat with others. Pond View truly made our day even. better than we could have imagined. If you are looking for a farm venue, look no more - PVF is the best. Thank you so much to the Pond View Farm team for making sure our wedding was a success. -

Beautiful Venue and Wonderful Staff!
Pond View Farm is a gorgeous venue!!! We found it during the snow that occurred February of 2022 and we’re enchanted by it ever since!
Nick and Company were an absolute pleasure to work with and they made the entire process so smooth, from just the initial meetings and viewing of the venue to our actual wedding day.
On top of all of that, the food was also wonderful!!
If we were to do this all over again, we would choose Pond View Farm EVERY TIME!! -

Exceptional
My husband and I highly recommend Pond View to anyone looking for a venue! Nick was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way. We were both somewhat overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding, but Nick made it so easy and very enjoyable. Everything about the venue was perfect and made our wedding day so wonderful. You will not be disappointed with their service, grounds, and amenities!! We also HIGHLY recommend hiring Lindsey, their day of coordinator, because she made what could have been a hectic day exceedingly smooth. She and Nick worked so well together to make our day easy and stress-free! -

Magill Wedding
My husband and I got married at Pond View in October of 2021, and let me tell you, it couldn't have been a better day. Lindsay, the day of coordinator was absolutely phenomenal. She made sure our day ran smoothly and stress free, and the details were perfect. The events manager Nick was also amazing and made sure everything for our day was exactly what we wanted. In addition to having the best staff, the venue is absolutely gorgeous in every way and the food is delicious. Our guests did nothing but rave about how beautiful everything was and how good the food was. We truly couldn't have chosen a better venue to host our special day-

Absolutely Amazing
We fell in in love with Pond View immediately upon seeing the photos on WeddingWire, so we set up a date to take a tour. When we arrived we were blown away with how beautiful the venue was and how amazing Nick was! He gave us every piece of information we needed to know and he was so friendly. We didn't even make it 30 minutes from the venue before I was emailing him and asking to reserve a date. The pricing was incredible and it did not lack quality. Service of the entire team was amazing all day long. The venue was decorated beautifully. We had originally wanted to be married in the lawn but because of the rain we ended up getting married under the pavilion. It was still perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing and I would get married at Pond View 100 more times.-

BEST food ever
One of my favorite parts of our entire wedding was the food. It was literally amazing. Our guests raved about how good the food was and how they want to attend more weddings at Pond View just for the food! The pit beef, ham, and turkey were all PERFECT! Mac & cheese was super cheesy and amazing! 100% recommend their catering!!! -

Wonderful Group to Work With
We did not have a wedding, but I want to sign the praises of this caterer for any event. Our event cost less because it was an off-site location. We had the pleasure of working with this amazing caterer this past week-end at a Celebration of Life event for our mother who had passed. We had about 60 people in attendance. Due to the pandemic, we decided an open-air venue would work best for us. We held the event at Rocks State Park in Jarrettsville, MD. They rent pavilion shelters for the day. Pond View Farm caterers did an excellent job. In particular, Nick Griffith, who was our contact and headed up the event, was fantastic to work with. He and their group were extremely flexible with whatever we asked. He and the serving staff were friendly and attentive throughout the entire event. We asked that they wear masks and gloves and serve everything, including all beverages, due to health issues within our group. They complied without issue. Their services were very reasonably priced, even at our off-site location. The food was absolutely amazing. We had pit beef sandwiches and grilled chicken tenderloins. The meats were tender, and juicy, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The delicious baked veggie lasagna was also a big hit. They even provided some gluten free rolls for some of our attendees. On behalf of our entire family, we want to thank them for their exemplary service throughout this event in this difficult time for us. We highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again in the future -

Dream wedding venue!
This is the most beautiful outdoor wedding venue you will find! We particularly loved the fact that their "rain" option was just as beautiful and still included a view of the pond. There are endless photo-ops here! The use of the venue also included bridal suites, which were available to us all day! To be honest, at first glance, I was originally turned off by the "buffet style" food option, but our guests RAVED about the food, and really appreciated that it was a bit more "low-key" than the typical plated style. We were able to attend a tasting at PVF to pick the options we wanted. too. If you are looking for a rustic venue, look no further!!-

Fairy Tale Venue
Pond View Farm was amazing! I am absolutely obsessed with the property and was so lucky to work with Nick and Lindsey. Nick is the point of contact and answered almost weekly emails, full of bulleted lists of questions and is so friendly, helpful, and kind. Lindsey was a phenomenal day of coordinator, who took charge of the day and made it the perfect day. The food was amazing and we had so many people stop us to mention it. The barn is beautiful, open air, and has the most stunning view of the pond. Unfortunately, there was some rain so we were married on the covered patio. We were still facing the pond and the arbor was moved onto the patio, which gave us beautiful pictures still. There was a lot more space than expected and it felt very intimate. We had a perfect, fairy tale day and Pond View was the dream venue.-

Fall Wedding
Pond View was our first choice by far but the photographs do not so the venue justice. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. The staff is wonderful and does an excellent job at making you feel at home and making sure the day runs smoothly. They are always available to answer any and all questions. We would hands down make the same decision if we had to do it all over again.-

Everything about PVF is perfect!
My husband and I got married at Pond View on 11/3/19 and it was an absolutely perfect day. The barn is stunning and offers so much within a responsible price. We worked with Nick who was amazing and very easy going. He was able to answer all of my questions and responded to emails promptly. All of my guest cannot stop raving about the absolute beauty of PVF. The food was incredible. So so so good. We opted for the up charge of beef tenderloin and replaced our additional entree with an extra side. All the food, but especially the beef tenderloin, was out of this world. We could not have picked a more perfect venue and highly recommend!-

We will never stop recommending pvf to everyone
Brides- if you already said yes to the dress, you will have that identical feeling when you see this venue in person as when you knew your dress was “the one”. Grooms- I imagine the feeling you will get is a similar feeling to when you knew she/he was “the one”. I initially did not want a wedding in November, but this venue is so impeccable that I snagged one of the few dates remaining for 2019 that happened to be a November date. I wouldn’t have known then, but I now know- that was the best decision I made wedding wise. I will start with Nick Griffith. Every single communication before and after touring the venue was so easy, effortless, informative, descriptive, and more than pleasant. Nick was amazing from beginning to end. When Nick gave us a tour of Pond View, I had seen maybe 3 or 4 venues prior; NONE of them measured up to Pond View Farm (and I mean that). Maybe 5 minutes into the tour, I looked at my husband and we exchanged one of those looks like “our search has ended” because WOW. This venue offers a bridal/groom suite that was large, open, functional, and perfect for pictures- a big open beautiful barn- a gorgeous pond and landscape- honestly, everything you could ever dream of and more. Every time we left the venue, all I wanted to do was go back and look at things in depth, so when you tour- TAKE TONS OF PICS! The taste testing for the on-site catering was great- the food was awesome that day! They had even added baked salmon which we decided to add to the menu- it was ALL delicious! The taste testing hosted other vendors that are used to working at PVF, which is where we ended up finding our DJ company. I felt like every few weeks, I had dumb questions for Nick- and every single time, he’d assure me my questions weren’t dumb and offer tons of informative answers. I never felt like I was a burden to him, or any other employees at PVF. We met with Nick again for our 30 day review meeting, at that point, I was starting to get stressed over little things, minor details- but Nick kept assuring me I was well prepared. I knew after the meeting that he also was well prepared and saw my vision for the day very clearly.
For the rehearsal, I was nervous because my wedding party, and the parents were all wedding newbies (we weren’t sure what to expect or how things would go). My officiant was awesome and worked very closely with Nick who was also the DJ (amazingly, and thankfully) to coordinate. Nick was so amazing that after the first run through, he let us practice WITH music! My bridal party was AMAZED at how beautiful of a venue we had; one of the girls even said “OK this is where I want to get married now!”.
Wedding Day- All of my friends who had recently gotten married told me “things will go wrong, but it’s all fine because no one will notice!” However, not one thing went wrong because of the amazing vendors, Nick, and the rest of the staff / owners of Pond View Farm. The venue speaks for itself, so you don’t even NEED to decorate honestly. We decorated mildly, and it was stunning. Everything came to life so quickly and effortlessly. The staff who was setting the tables up while we were decorating were all friendly, and kept making me feel extremely special on my big day! The day FLEW by; but every single thing went perfectly. Nick had the night running seamlessly. It was COLD, 34 and windy- so our guests had cocktail hour in the heated barn instead of under the gorgeous pavilion. Pond View was s accommodating the whole day. Honestly, it’s probably annoying how often I keep praising Nick, but he really is THAT great. I did not hire Lindsey to coordinate, but I did rent easels and table numbers from her and even she was awesome! I’m sure she would do an excellent job coordinating any wedding!
Our day was one I will always remember and cherish. It was filled with smiles, happy tears, laughter, family, and friends who have become family over the years. I wish I could re-live it over and over because it was one of my favorite days ever- and I owe most of that to Nick, the owners of PVF, and every single employee who went above and beyond to turn a regular date into one to cherish and remember forever.
Thank you Nick and PVF for an incredible day! We will never stop recommending this flawless venue to friends, family, and even strangers!

Best venue ever!!!!
We got married at PVF on 10/26/19 and were amazed with this venue! First of all, the food is OUTSTANDING, which is very rare for wedding food to be. Nick was great to work with! Communication with him was amazing, and there wasn’t any question about what was included in our contract. I also liked that this venue does the tasting twice a year for all weddings for that current year/year prior, because it gives you an opportunity to see how the food is going to taste when made for a large group of people. It was also a great opportunity to meet other vendors, since the tasting is set up like a wedding- there’s a DJ playing music, a photo booth, and plenty of other vendors there. That’s how we got a few of our vendors for the wedding! I also felt that the staff went above and beyond to make sure all of the details were executed as expected. The bridal suite is brand new and GORGEOUS!!! This venue invests a lot of money into updates and renovations. Just in the time that we were under contract, the new bridal suite was built, the pavilion was expanded, lights and drapes were added to the vaulted ceilings and walls, and new rustic tables were available. I can’t stress enough how amazing it is to have a bridal suite on site that is available to you for the whole day. I couldn’t imagine having it any other way. Highly recommended!! -

No need to look any further - book with Pond View
My husband and I got married on September 14, 2019 at Pond View Farm. Not only is this an absolutely gorgeous venue, the staff of Pond View Farm are hard-working, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Jackie and Shane provide you with so many options to make your wedding/reunion/etc perfect. They were right there along with their Pond View crew taking us on the tour of the grounds back when we came to look at the venue up until our wedding day. They are out helping with setting everything up, making sure everything is in its ideal place, and that the grounds are in tip top shape. They are constantly making updates to make the venue THAT much better for their clients. Nick is right there to answer any questions you may have along the way and sets up a meeting with you, either in person or via skype, a month out from your event to tie up any loose ends and to start to get everything finalized so the day can go of without a hitch. Lindsey is the day of coordinator for Pond View and I would strongly recommend hiring her for her day of services. Lindsey gave me a piece of mind on the day of the wedding with setting everything up and helping to bring the vision of our wedding day to life (even better than I was picturing it!)
There are so many different areas around Pond View that make for absolutely gorgeous pictures that way not all of your wedding photos look exactly the same. I have attached a couple photos of our wedding day and all of the different scenery we utilized.
Stop looking for your venue now and book with them, you will not regret it.-

Family Reunion after 11 years! The Barn was PERFECT!
We had a Family Reunion in September, it is a wonderful place!
They were very accomodating and friendly.
We found them very easy to work with and the place has a lot of charm. We would go back again. -

Gorgeous venue
I am so thrilled that we chose Pond View for our wedding and reception. Every detail was thought out and even though we couldn’t be in town for much of the planning it went very smoothly via facetime and email. I cant count the number of wedding guests who raved about how gorgeous the property was. It even downpoured an hour or so before our ceremony and the crew went out and dried all the seats and the wedding area for us! I cant recommend them enough. -

Perfect, perfect, perfect :)
Ill start by saying this, there is NO WAY, that you will check out Pond View Farm in person and not run to the computer as soon as your home to book your date. The Farm is drop dead gorgeous. My wife and I got married there on 08.04.19 and things could not have gone more perfect. First things first; Shane & Jackie (the owners), are two of the most down to earth, humble and hard working people. If it had not been for me meeting Shane on the day that we went to see the venue for the first time, I would not have known it was him on wedding day. I say that because these people are the ones working the hardest, moving up and down, making sure everything goes perfect; and always, always always with a big smile on :)
To be honest we booked with Pond View Farms without ever seeing any other venues in person. The price is well worth it, you get to use the nicely decorated suites, and you get to be in the farm since the early AM. They also have a BUNCH of lawn games available, there are many horses, a peacock, ducks, birds, cats, etc... aside from that you have that beautiful pond, the perfectly placed willow trees and that breath taking barn. Honestly it may sound too good to be true when someone hears me talking about PVF, but its all true; at the end of it all they are simply the perfect Venue. Now let me go on to Nick.... I do not really know what Nick's official title is, but to me he is the "Can Do Anything Guy". Nick is quick with E-Mails, calls and when you meet him, he will be just another reason to book PVF for your special day. Nick knows it all, he is like a walking FAQ person lol He is very laid back but at the same time he is meticulous and caring of any special requests/needs that you require. Lastly (if you ask him too that is) he can be extremely honest with you and tell you what he thinks as far as decorations and any logistics of the wedding (I personally like when people are upfront and can tell me, "that would look nice" and or "that would not" lol), Nick can be both, if you ask him his opinion he will be very honest and to those people that don't necessarily like that, he is at the very same time, very discreet and professional, he can do both to better accommodate your needs (I would suggest you ask him to be direct, he gives some awesome ideas/advise, we are glad that he told us straight up about some of our ideas that we had, in which he was completely right and they would NOT have been very good ones on OUR part).
Lastly I will talk about Lindsey (the day of coordinator), I was unsure about Ms. Lindsey Sommer in the beginning, I had not met her but was not sure we needed a "day of coordinator". In fact we met with Nick (3) weeks prior to the BIG DAY! :D
And that's when we met Lindsey in person, she was running up and down decorating the barn, making sure each table looked stunning, making sure each napkin was perfectly placed on top of each china plate, wrapping the barn posts with LED lights and getting on top of the ladders (have you ever seen the old cartoons, when they are moving fast all you see is like the dust or cloud behind them? Imagine that, Lindsey literally everywhere taking care of details, because she knows its YOUR special day) I remember towards the end of our meeting with Nick, Eva (my wife) and I walked out to the Pavilion (bar area) and since I like being straight forward; I asked Nick "Is it worth it to get Lindsey for the wedding, be honest". and he said "Absolutely yes, you wont regret it!, she does so much, you don't know it yet, but you will need her there". I said "Okay, that's all I needed to hear, lets do it!"
We quickly walked back into the barn and sat down to talk to Lindsey, she went over some details with us and we were out on our way.....
WEDDING DAY IS FINALLY HERE :D
And Nick....was absolutely right!!!! Lindsey makes the day move smoothly, she is like a personal assistant, she helps soooo much with EVERYTHING. Quite simply there is no way our day would have been as special without Lindsey. Eleven days have passed since our wedding day :(
Yet we are still hearing of several "issues" that Lindsey fixed (in the backgrounds) without us ever even knowing, she is that person who is making sure things go perfectly.
She moves people from room to room, she talks to the bands and gives them the Q's, the same thing with the DJ; she talks to the guests and also to the bride and groom to make sure you stay on schedule (the wedding goes by so fast, so many people, that you will lose track of time, I guarantee it). She talks to your photographers and videographers to make sure everyone is on the same page, and she doesn't just do it once, she is constantly asking you "is everything okay?" "You need anything?" ALL DAY!!!! she does that all day for you, at the end of the night she is the first person to help you clean up your decorations and put them back in the boxes....I would need more time and more space to talk about everything she does, but just imagine this:
Its your wedding day, you have been practicing for this day for at least a year, (girls for thre whole life lol) but wait, you have to go decorate, make sure everything looks nice, then you have to talk last minute logistics with the DJ, than find out why the band is late, where is the pastor?...
Later on the day, things are going perfect aside from the fact that your guest will stop you and take quick pictures with you anytime your free (dont blame them they want to be part of your forever memories as well), but oh wait, you did not give the Q's to the bands so they are a bit unsure on when to stop playing, and when its time for your first dance, who is gonna let your DJ know when to cut off the song (or are you gonna dance all 5 minutes of it?)
the same goes for photographers and the videographers, for your guest and your bridal party, on top of that you need to stay on a tight schedule and; oh wait; on top of that one, you need to take a million pictures with your guests and make sure everyone is having a good time....." THE END....
That is literally unfair to you (the bride and groom) to do on YOUR day, let Lindsey and Nick, and Shane & Ms. Jackie take that pressure off of you....
Thank you to everyone at Pond View Farm,
Thank you Nick, Lindsey, Shane & Jackie!
Thanks to you all; our wedding was our dream wedding,
1) the food was perfect,
2) your venue was perfect,
3) the staff is also perfect,
PVF = PPP....perfect....perfect....perfect!!!!
THANK YOU!

Perfect in Every Way
We booked Pond View for a Sunday wedding after an exhaustive venue search throughout Maryland. This little slice of heaven is tucked away in White Hall, close enough to Shrewsbury PA that the local hotel and several amenities like Walmart, ACME, Home Depot, etc. are easily reached, but far enough away that there is no noise to be heard but for the occasional squawk of a loon or neigh of a horse. The barn is spacious and provides great airflow during the hot days and great cover for the rainy days. The staff was tremendously helpful and always willing to take a quick call or return a short email to assuage any concerns. We got amazing bang for our buck at this venue, and Nick and Lindsay (and Chrissy before them) were worth every penny! One note for newcomers: as of 2019, you are required to use Pond View's own catering services when booking this venue - we had no problem with that whatsoever, as the food is top notch too! 10/10 would recommend for any outdoor wedding! -

The Perfect Venue
The second I saw Pond View in person, I knew this was where my wedding had to be. I received so many compliments about how beautiful my venue was and how great the food, staff and all around experience was for our guests. Between Nick answering all my questions leading up to the wedding and Pond View's amazing catering staff, I had such a wonderful experience!
I also HIGHLY recommend hiring their day of coordinator, Lindsey. She was so incredibly helpful during every stage of our wedding. From our first meeting to the day of, she was always there to help in anyway she could. She worked so hard throughout the rehearsal and on our wedding day to ensure I did not have to stress about anything. We had a perfect wedding day and I know Lindsey played a huge role in making that happen. -

Wedding review 5/4/19
My husband and I got married here on May 4, 2019. Words can’t describe my love for Pond View Farm. What a beautiful place to get married. The staff was so friendly and amazing, the grounds are beautiful, everything went perfectly. Just like I imagined. Nic and Lindsay were the best and helped me with everything I needed. Every question I had, every concern, they got back to me with no time at all. If you are stuck between this venue and another... don’t give it a second thought. Pond View Farm is the best place for a wedding to remember, I couldn’t imagine our special day anywhere else. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making our day so special! You all are amazing.

Amazing venue
You definitely get what you pay for at this venue. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the workers are amazing and the barn is even better. I received multiple compliments on the food, so use the Pond View Pit Crew! I would also recommend using the vendors they provide for you. I emailed/texted/called Nick 1000000000 times before the big day and he answered every message the same day. I can't thank this venue enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams. Thank you Pond View! -

Picture perfect venue with great service
I could not be happier with this venue after my wedding. I booked them 2 years before my big day because I immediately fell in love with this venue and during those 2 years, they were always so responsive and helpful. Their venue alone is gorgeous enough to be worth every penny, but their staff are equally as amazing. I can not recommend this venue enough!! The best venue around for sure. -

Beautiful!
Words can not possibly express how incredibly beautiful Pond View is. But the beauty of this venue is enhanced by their amazing staff. You can really tell that they do this because they love it. Everyone is so friendly, warm, and welcoming.
For those of you who have not seen this place in person, you must! The pictures are gorgeous, but seeing it with your own eyes is a whole new experience. The bridal suite is gorgeous and spacious. The downstairs has a kitchen and living room type area including a large refrigerator and plenty of counter space. There are couches for your bridesmaids to sit and hangout while waiting for their turn for hair/make up. The upstairs makes for beautiful photo opportunities of you getting dressed and pictures of your dress/shoes/jewelry. The grooms suite is connected to the bridal suite, but has doors that can be locked if you would like, but could also be opened up if you wanted.
We used Lindsay for day of coordinating and that girl runs around all day long. She works incredibly hard, and you can clearly tell she is highly experienced. The day was perfect with her help and the best decision I made was to hire her. She was there bright and early with me to set up, and she made herself available all day long for whatever I needed. I was starting to get anxious towards the end of our reception about having to pack things up, but she had already done it and I had not even noticed it was happening! Things were all ready packed back into their boxes and by the door ready to be loaded in the car. All day long she was 2 steps ahead of my thoughts and she instinctively anticipates everyone’s next move. I highly recommend her services.
We used the catering at Pond View as well and the food was so delicious. We had a lot of people tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. They are fairly priced and have a lot of great options. We opted to do a roasted pig and received a lot of comments about how cool it looked at our venue, and how delicious it was. They were on top of it too. Food was ready right on time, guests were served efficiently and quickly.
Lastly I have to mention Nic, and how sweet and friendly he is. He was available anytime I needed him in the months leading up to our wedding. He always promptly responded to my crazy questions about table linens, how to arrange the tables in the barn etc. He had a lot of great ideas. He is definitely one of a kind with a knack for weddings.
All in all, thank you to everyone at Pond View who made our day AMAZING! I could not have picked a better venue and staff to work with. You all did an incredible job. Thank you! -

Amazing experience
We got married there almost two weeks ago and we can’t say enough good things about this venue. The staff there were like family and very accommodating. They were very helpful, always there when I needed them and were honest about what looked good and their opinions on everything. We also used Lindsey for the day of coordinating and like my mom said “She was clutch”... lol. We can’t possibly explain in enough words how amazing this venue was! And at the end of the night they were so quick to help us pack everything up. Everything went on without a single hiccup. Also the food was amazing!! -

Too Perfect!
I cannot say enough good things about this venue! The venue itself is a dream, and the bridal and groom suites are a photographers dream (mine said as much!). The staff at Pond View is so accomodating and was with me every step of the way. I cannot thank Nick enough for answering my million questions and making sure every detail was the way I wanted it! No matter what the weather, this venue has a plan in place to make your day perfect! The food is also amazing, we got so many compliments, and it is so reasonably priced! I cannot recommend this venue and staff enough :) Our day was so perfect!!! 7.27.18
The updated bridal suite, extended pavilion, and giant fans have made this already amazing venue even better! -

5 stars is simply not enough! I was told about this venue before we were even engaged and knew just from pictures this was the place for us! From the day we booked to the moment we got married working with Pond View was just as easy as it comes. Nick was our main point of contact shortly after Chrissy left and I am not sure how he does it, but replies back super timely and is always upbeat yet professional. I decided to use their day of planner Lindsey and she was incredible. She was so easy going and laid back I literally had no clue how she got it all done but she did. I was so worried about the possible rain and not getting married under the trees but they had a back up plan that was still just as beautiful and Nick and Lindsey assured me it would be perfect! Luckily the skies cleared and it was a glorious sunny day! They have huge industrial fans in the barn that partnered with the barn doors being opened made for the perfect cross breeze so we could all dance the night away! Their staff made it so I didn't have a worry in the world! I could go on and on about the PVF staff as they were all so friendly and helpful. This venue is just gorgeous and the owners and their team take a genuine interest in your big day. I hated saying goodbye to them! In talking to every guest they have all raved about the care that is taken to the farm and simply loved PVF and how beautiful it is. It was so nice to have the property for the entire wedding day and the new bridal suite is amazing! We had a blast getting ready and seeing guests arrive. They also set up outdoor games for your guests such as cornhole which I know many of our guests enjoyed! The food was also outstanding! Many people have told me they are still craving their pulled pork!! We were lucky and nabbed our date due to a cancellation so would suggest you grab a date while you can as this was just perfect all around. You cannot go wrong in booking this venue! Thank you PVF!! -

The beauty of this venue called to me, even on the rainy/cold day we first visited. It was love at first sight. All the staff and people on the farm are wonderful, friendly, and accommodating. Over the course of the year and half between the time we booked them and had our wedding, we were in contact with three people; Nick, Chrissy, and the owner. They kept us up to date with news from the venue throughout, as well as provided pictures of the venue when they did updates. The day of my wedding, Nick was there all day, making sure everything went smoothly and handling any questions from the vendors and providing us with extra items that we forgot. He had great suggestions, as well. Nick is the bomb! We used our own caterer, but they offered their catering to us. They provide clients with tastings if they wanted to try out the catering. They also offered many other vendors that have previously worked with their venue. I will always recommend them to others! -

The Crew at Pond View Farm really went out of their way to make sure all the details were perfect for my daughter’s wedding. They were professional, timely and extremely helpful with the planning and execution of the big day. If you’re looking for a rustic wedding venue and excellent food, look no further. -

We had our wedding at Pond View Farm in April and it was absolutely perfect. We fell in love with the venue from the start. The venue is just so beautiful and perfect for that rustic, yet elegant and relaxed atmosphere. The owners (Shane and Jackie) and the staff are very accommodating and answered every email I sent them (and I sent a lot haha). Pond View Farm is great for those who want to have flexibility with their wedding as there are no strict rules and everyone there wants you to have the best day ever. Lindsey, the day of coordinator was so helpful prior to and that day with setting up the decor and organizing everything with the vendors, guests and ceremony. Not only that, but the catering was phenomenal. All the guests were raving about the food (mac and cheese was a big hit). They also keep improving the grounds as they have new bridal and groom suites which are so pretty! The pavilion was also just updated and looks fantastic. I highly recommend this place to have your wedding and they book up fast because they are that amazing so keep that in mind when visiting venues. Thank you Pond View Farm for making our big day so special! -

My husband and I had the most amazing experience with this venue. From the moment we first visited the venue - throughout the entire year and a half of planning - to our big day everything was perfect. We enjoyed working with Nick, Chrissy, Lindsey and Shane. The staff was very attentive and communicative. I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom looking for a rustic wedding with a lot of natural scenery. We chose to go with Pond View Farm Catering and everything was delicious. We even opted to get the pig as well. Our guests loved all of the food options and the buffet style. We really appreciated the recommended vendor lists provided by the venue. It helped a lot in our wedding planning. There wedding planner, Lindsey Sommer, made everything run smoothly. She was right there every moment we needed anything which helped to get our stress level down. I would recommend visiting them as soon as you get engaged. They book up fast!
I've provided the rental cost of the venue but did not include the cost of catering and the wedding planner.-

When we woke up the day of our wedding it was 100% chance of rain. Of course we stressed out about it, but when we arrived to Pond View we realized how beautiful the barn was. Even though our idea of an outdoor service was not in the picture anymore, we could not be happier with how the pictures turned out inside the barn! The staff at Pond View was also extremely nice and helpful whenever we had questions. Highly recommend!! -

Pond View Farm was such a stunning wedding venue. We had a Friday wedding there and it was absolutely perfect! Staff is readily available for you if you need anything. Shane was fantastic for setting up the barn and ceremony by the pond! So very helpful! We were a Friday wedding so we were able to decorate the day before which saved so much stress that day. Chrissy was awesome to work with. Very quick to respond and works with you through it all! We couldn't have asked for a better place to start our forever at! -

Probably not getting too many grooms on here who review things but I just had to since they did such exceptional work. Shane and Jackie are amazing and my favorite thing about this venue and them is that they continually want to make the place and experience better. I love that they finished the bathrooms inside the barn and the groomsmen suite and everything about the place is awesome. Me and my groomsmen had a great time in the groomsman suite and wish we could have gone outside to play cornhole/roam the grounds a bit before the ceremony but the weather didn't cooperate. It was thunderstorming most of the afternoon that we weren't sure if we were going to be able to have it outside under the beautiful trees. Shane came up to me at around 3 and tried to get an idea of what I was thinking to which i responded with the classic "I don't know check with her" HA. Our officiant showed up around 4pm and asked the same thing and I said we are probably going to be under the pavilion and as I'm saying this to him, I see Shane wheeling out the chairs to set up on the lawn. They set it up so fast which was awesome. We were able to get married under the trees and arch, and as we said our vows, guests commented later that the sun started shining. I can't thank you guys enough, this place was seriously everything and more that we wanted in our wedding. Our guests didn't stop commenting on how beautiful the place was and how great the food was. Would definitely recommend.
PS Book early because they fill up fast, and for good reason! Friday wedding dates here are so much easier because you can set up on thursday before your rehearsal. -

OMG!!! I don't have enough good things to say about Jackie and Shane and their gorgeous venue!! They were so welcoming and had answers for all my questions and always responded to my emails quickly and hey both always had a smile on their face! It had been raining all day long on and off and our ceremony was supposed to be at 4:30.... Shane came up to me at 4:05 and asked me what the plan was, so we looked at the weather realized there was going to a break and they set the chairs up and had the most gorgeous and perfect ceremony. It was slightly nerve racking all day long but to be perfectly honest, Plan B (under the Pavilion) and Plan C (in the barn) were both amazing options as well. If you want a rustic barn wedding with an amazing view with little to no worries..... Choose Pond View Farm! -

Pond View Farm is an amazing venue -- it is both incredibly beautiful and the people who own and operate the venue are as friendly and responsive as they can possibly be. Because it is family-owned and operated, interactions are more personal than a more corporate venue. PVF's on-site, day-of coordinator, Lindsey Sommer, was also fantastically helpful the day of the wedding. I don't know how she managed to do so much in a few hours but she made sure that the venue was set up exactly as I requested, set up the escort card table, managed all of our vendors, made sure I was doing ok all day, and did a million other things that I don't even know about. Everyone kept commenting on how great she was. We were so happy with every aspect of our wedding day at Pond View Farm and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. -

Pond View Farm is an absolutely amazing location for any wedding or event. The grounds, house, and barn are gorgeous! When searching for a location for our reception, we looked at several farms in the area and fell in love with Pond View Farm. It is family owned and run, they do an excellent job of keeping up with the property! You will not want to leave! The barn is new and freshly painted, it speaks for itself but also is a clean slate for any style of wedding. They recently added more bathrooms in the barn making it able to accommodate all of your guests, we fit 200 guests comfortably inside the barn! The pavilion off the barn is perfect for cocktail hour and mingling. The grounds are beautiful for pictures, we were so happy with everything! The family members all work together to make every event run smoothly and perfectly. We also went with Pond View’s catering team, everyone loved the food, it was delicious! Pond view catering helped serve our desserts, set up the tables and clean up. We are still getting so many compliments to this day from the reception regarding the location, food and evening! We also worked with the event coordinator, which I would highly suggest to any bride, it is much needed, Lindsey and she was wonderful! She worked with all of our vendors that day, coordinated the flow of everything and helped us set up. Lindsey was awesome! We were able to show a video of our destination ceremony on the barn wall and it was a hit with all of our family and friends. Everyone was so pleased we were able to do that. I would highly recommend Pond View Farm, the catering staff and the event coordinator for your special event. They do an amazing job and it will be a day to remember! -

My husband and I got married at Pond View Farm during the first weekend of September, and we were blessed with the most gorgeous day we could have possible asked for. It was the only venue that we looked at and we chose to book it the same day that we toured the farm. From the start Jackie and Shane were absolutely amazing with every request and concern that we had, they go above and beyond to make sure that you have the wedding of your dreams. Shane was around during the evening and even took the time to ask how my night was going and if there was anything that I needed. The venue is stunning, the food is amazing - I highly recommend you use their catering company, and even now our guests continue to rave about how stunning everything was! During our setup the morning of, there was an engaged couple and their parents touring the farm (they allow tours the day of the wedding as long as it does not conflict with the time of your wedding). Well, my parents and I took the time to speak with them and tell them that they absolutely had to book Pond View Farm as their wedding venue, my dad could not stop raving about how incredible everything had been leading up to the big day. It was the wedding of our dreams, I cannot speak highly enough of Jackie, Shane, and the amazing staff, they made sure our day was absolutely flawless and i highly recommend it to everyone! -

When I found this venue- it was the only one we went to and we knew it was the place we were going to get married. The venue is absolutely GORGEOUS for anyone looking for a rustic feel! Throughout the planning process Jackie, Shane, and Chrissy were extremely responsive and helpful (even when I asked a million questions). The catering is out of this world delicious, which is hard to do when your serving that many people. Our big day was on September 9th, and it was so amazing and more than we ever dreamed. Thank you so much to Pond View for making our big day so beautiful and amazing! -

This was a perfect venue for our wedding. All of our guests loved it! Shane, Jackie and the Pond View crew were very professional with every email, question, and adjustment we had. Although it poured on our day they made sure we had the best day and they dried all the seats off in about 5 mins for the outdoor ceremony. Everything was perfect! -

My husband and I were married at Pond View Farm on July 1st. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and caterer for our wedding day. It rained just before our reception and they immediately dried all the chairs for us. Everything we asked to use was out and ready for us, including cornhole boards and centerpieces. We were able to do most of the set up the night before since we were a Friday wedding. All of my guests talked about how beautiful the farm is and how delicious the food was. We couldn't have been happier with our experience. -

From a beautiful outdoor wedding to an indoor barn wedding, this venue has all of your needs. We could have been happier with our choice to use Pond View Farm as our wedding location. This is a beautiful venue at a good price. They family that runs this farm was fantastic to work with and did everything in their power to make sure we had a great wedding day! This is a great place to take photos and offers a huge barn and large covered outdoor area for the reception. We also had Pond View Cater our wedding, again, couldn't be happier with the choice. All around fantastic!! -

This is a gorgeous venue and a true gem in the White Hall area of Northern Baltimore County/Harford County. The family who owns Pond View are wonderful to work with and they run the venue like a true family business. The grounds are kept impeccable and the scenery is gorgeous! The venue was very reasonably priced and the staff were always willing to work with you. I would highly recommend. -

Jackie, Shane, and the rest of the staff at Pond View Farm made our wedding absolutely spectacular! Any question I had along the way, no matter how little, Jackie answered willingly and quickly. The barn and the grounds are always in impeccable shape and made the perfect backdrop for our fall wedding. I'm so grateful we came across Pond View Farm during our venue search and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a beautiful barn wedding! -

Words cannot express how thrilled we were with our wedding. Pond view farm was the most gorgeous place we had ever seen, and we knew the moment we arrived that it was where we wanted to get married. Jackie and Shane were beyond wonderful to work with. They were responsive to emails prior to the wedding day, and throughout the wedding they did an amazing job making sure everything met our satisfaction. We received so many lovely compliments from our guests. It was open, comfortable, rustic-- yet classy-- and all around lovely. We could bring backyard games for our guests to play, watch the Ravens game, and they allowed us to rent the space for the entire day! Pond View Pit Crew did an amazing job with the food as well. Everything was delicious, and they were all so sweet and attentive to our guests needs. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful family-operated establishment. Everyone was so incredibly thoughtful, kind, and professional. Thank you, Jackie and Shane, for helping to make our wedding so amazing!

Pond View Farm hosted both my ceremony and reception on July 25, 2015. The location is absolutely gorgeous and extremely well-kept. Each time you visit you will find another detail that you overlooked previously. The pond, the willow trees, the gardens, the barn and the pavilion area are all gorgeous for a classy/rustic wedding. The perfect venue is only overshadowed by the amazing customer service of the owners of the venue. Both the husband and wife are extremely down-to-Earth, helpful and organized. They allowed us to visit the venue on several occasions during the weeks prior to the wedding to ensure that we were prepared. They are very clear about their reasonable expectations and will answer any questions you have in a prompt and friendly manner. When we arrived to the venue at 8am, the tables in the reception hall and the ceremony chairs were already being setup by the staff. The staff were prepared with what I wanted as the bride and made sure that they met all expectations. Overall, the venue was perfect for our wedding day. I cannot rave enough about the venue and the staff. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is interested in a stress-free, beautiful outdoor wedding. -

This is the best venue ever, not only only because of the stunning landscape, perfectly manicured lawn, majestic willow trees and beautiful pond, but also because the owners are the nicest, most thoughtful and caring individuals that only want the best for the people having an event. I wanted to write a review to help them with their marketing, but I know that anyone that attends a wedding here will also want to get married here as well...so this is really just a thank you to Shane and Jackie for being awesome hosts and for making our wedding day the best day ever! :)
(...also, did I mention their food was delicious! Use them for catering as well!) -

This was our dream venue. The grounds and barn are absolutely beautiful. In fact, my husband never saw the venue in-person until our rehearsal, the day before our wedding, but knew it was an amazing place. The owners were really great to work with and made planning our wedding (which was across the country) very easy and stress free. -

Everyone at PVF was amazingly easy to work with and responded in a timely manner to phone calls or emails and the venue was exactly what I was looking for! The barn they built this past spring is beautiful and so well done that you don't really need to add much other than some table decorations if you don't want to. The ceremony site was perfect as well. The staff and owners at PVF have put so much thought into everything, including where they placed their landscaping so that brides can remain hidden from view until they are ready to be seen! Definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for an outdoor "country chic" wedding! -

Our daughter was married at Pond View Farm on August 30, 2014, This was the most amazing place! It is a little out of the way, but was well worth it. I had guests telling me they had never seen such a beautiful setting. We had 200 guests for the ceremony and reception and there was plenty of room. Through out the whole planning time, any questions we had were answered within 24 hours, usually more like 12 hours or less. Thank you all for helping us create the day of our daughter's dreams!!! -

I am so 'over-the-moon' that we decided to have our wedding at Pond View Farm. Throughout the whole entire experience, Jackie, Shane, and Rick were completely attentive and flexible with our wants and needs. And not only that, dealing with them was an entirely pleasant experience because they are such a wonderful family! I wouldn't change a thing. If you want to have your wedding at a beautiful farm venue and have your planning experience be an easy one, I would definitely recommend having your wedding here! -

Pond View Farm is the most beautiful setting. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for your event. Jackie and Shane were a pleasure to work with and they were very accommodating with our needs. They were also present during the entire event for any assistance.
We used their on-site catering and the food and presentation was fabulous. Even our family from the south loved how delicious the smoked and grilled meats were. -

Beautiful Venue
My husband and I had went to A TON of other venues. The second I saw Pond View I fell absolutely in love with it. The beautiful pond and barn were nothing like I had seen yet in all the other venues we had seen. When we booked they were in the process of renovating the bridal and groom suites and they did not disappoint! They were beautifully redone and the suites had great picture opportunities in them with the lighting inside and the way they were built. The food was AWESOME! We went to two food tastings and the second time was even better than the first. There were so many options to pick from and they were so hard to choose! The pond gave beautiful picture opportunities for our big day. The ONE and ONLY complaint I do have is that after the ceremony they venue makes you clear out all of your things from the bridal and groom suites so they can lock it up but it backed the reception up and we were not able to have enough time to get the pictures we wanted to take with family and friends prior to the reception because our whole bridal party was busy in the bridal and groom suites trying to get their stuff together and clean up. Our bridal parties did pre-pack their bags prior to this but they still had to take trips to their cars and get my and my husband's things out too for us since we were taking pictures. This set our reception start time back and like I said we were not able to utilize our photographer the way we fully wanted because our bridal party was clearing out the suites. All in all Pond View Farm was an amazing venue. The owners are super sweet and flexible. The food from the catering was awesome from Pond View. We had so many compliments about the food and how beautiful our special day was :) -

Pond View was a wonderful venue. They were easy to contact and answered all my questions. The food and appetizers were wonderful. Our guests were very complimentary on the evening. I hired their planner and she was a joy to work with and I don't know what I would have done without her. Pond View actually has 2 parts, the venue itself and then the catering service, but both were great. -

Not happy and not exagerating!
Disappointed in many things and it took me a while to calm down about this, because you'd expect things to go well for a wedding for your daughter. From ordering the wrong linens, and not having extras to use. To not showing up on time for Fri. preparing and Sat. for the wedding. We weren't able to receive the leftovers, even though it wasn't stated in the contract that we couldn't have them and we even ordered extra food. -
