    Beautiful and cozy barn wedding

    George and Maureen at Botzum are the absolute best!!!! I cannot thank thank them enough for putting on our dream wedding. Maureen and I had many phone calls together and we talked through every single detail. When I didn't know what I was doing, she was there to help. I was picture perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better setting. Ceremony was help in the field and dinner/reception in the barn. An absolute dream!

    Amazing venue

    Perfect setting for our outdoor wedding reception! We just got married here and I can't recommend it enough. The setting is rustic, the grounds breathtakingly beautiful. Great photo opportunities! Maureen and George we so helpful the entire way; Maureen's vendor recommendations were spot on! It was a perfect day, wonderful in everyway!

    Amazing, perfect day!

    Due to Covid my son and daughter in law had to find another reception venue in very short notice. We were very lucky to get the Conrad Botzum Farmstead. This was a perfect setting, it was even better than our first location. Maureen had become like family, she helped everyone get through a hectic month and a perfect wedding day. Maureen, George and the rest of her family handled all set up for us the day of the wedding. When we arrived it was breath taking! The barn is a century barn, so if you have a wedding late In the fall like we did, listen to Maureen when she suggests the heaters! Thank you to everyone for making this a perfect day!

    Perfect place & perfect people!

    We had both our ceremony and reception at Conrad Botzum Farmstead. I can't even put into words how perfect our day was and that was all thanks to the owners, Maureen & George. Not only are the grounds absolutely BREATHTAKING (which made for the BEST pictures) but Maureen and George are so accommodating and extremely helpful. They really are very hands-on and are in the business for all the right reasons! They truly love helping people have the best wedding day! Every conversation that was had with Maureen was a real delight, she is such a sweet caring women that truly invests her time and energy into all the people she meets!

    Our Daughter’s Wedding Reception

    The Conrad Botzum Farm... along with George and Maureen... provided the absolute perfect, most beautifully perfect evening for our daughter’s wedding reception! Originally planned to be the site for the rehearsal dinner... Covid postponements... we opted for a smaller guest list and chose picturesque Botzum Farmstead as our reception venue instead.
    From the many phone calls with Maureen who was ALWAYS attentive to detail and very accommodating regardless of the requests, to wanting to make it “just right” for us- they accomplished that and so much more! It could not have been more magical and memorable! We would not hesitate to recommend this venue, you’ll walk away with beautiful memories and a lasting friendship!
    Thank you Botzum Farm And George and Maureen!!

    Most amazing wedding!

    My husband and I got married at the Conrad Botzum Farmstead on 10-6-18. Words cannot describe how amazing this venue was! Beautiful scenery and a perfect place to for two outdoorsy people to get married. George and Maureen are extremely professional and detailed oriented. Maureen was organized through the entire planning process and knew exactly how to coordinate everything (especially when I didn’t). Both of them are friendly and willing to work with what you have as a vision. They were always in communication with us and got back right away if we left messages. They covered a lot of the behind the scenes action during the wedding day and made sure everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend this venue to get married at!!

    The Conrad Botzum Farmstead is an incredible venue, and the owners, George and Maureen, are fantastic hosts. Maureen helps with more than you can even imagine needing help with!! Maureen is experienced, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Maureen knew how to hand every little issue that inevitably came up, and helped me have fun with the whole planning process. My guests have been giving me endless complements on the venue and the overall vibe that Botzum brings to the occasion. I cannot recommend using this venue enough. I hope I have an excuse to come back or plan another party here!

    We got married here in May 2003 and had a fantastic experience. Fifteen years later, I wanted to surprise me husband with a trip down memory lane. I contacted George and Maureen who welcomed us back. We brought wine and bread and cheese and sat in the barn reminiscing about the day that started our wonderful journey. Both stopped by to wish us many more happy years together. So happy we chose such a unique setting (it was back then!) for our wedding. It was perfect for us and we were reminded of this fifteen years later. It’s lovely, you won’t regret it. And improvements over fifteen years have made it even better - the cutest rustic bathrooms! Wedding date below is wrong, system won’t go back to 2003, it should be May 24, 2003. :)

    Maureen and George and their staff were amazing. The attn to detail, attentiveness to our wants and needs and plan was seamless. Katie and Tim Wright had a magical reception and our guests were well cared for. Couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank You isn’t sufficient for our experience !!

    This place was absolutely perfect. George and Maureen were extremely helpful and helped us with every step of the process. Maureen is a seasoned veteran when it comes to weddings and she was able to plan for every aspect well ahead of time. They are friendly, easy to work with, and their property is amazing (and by far the most reasonably priced that we found). I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants an outdoor/barn/woodland wedding.

    If I could give the Conrad Botzum Farmstead and their wonderful owners six stars instead of five, I absolutely would. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our choice to get married there and feel so blessed that we also got to know Maureen and George throughout the process, too. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and truly one of a kind. So many guests commented about how magical the space felt. We loved the open air concept and really couldn't have been happier with the barn and grounds. We opted to have a bonfire at the end of the night which was also a big hit, along with the fact that you can dance outside and truly enjoy...

    My fiancée and I were planning our October 3rd for several months but at the last second, we were hit by a hurricane. The weather was consistently in the 70s/80s leading up to the event but we were locked into a high of 48 degrees with rain. My fiancée was obviously concerned about the weather ruining our event. Maureen was proactive and made arrangements to get an additional heater for the barn as well as come up with contingency plans to deal with the inclement weather.

    We had our ceremony on the deck which turned out to be very intimate. The barn and the grounds looked spectacular. Everything was crystal clear as far as fees and services well...

    We chose the Botzum Farm for our wedding because it was exactly the kind of venue we wanted – it really was the perfect site for us, as we envisioned a good old fashioned, laid back barn party. If you’re seeking the most beautiful rustic setting for your wedding, then the Botzum Farm is it! Maureen and George Winkelmann are in charge of the farm, and they’re truly a pleasure to work with – you’d be hard-pressed to find more kind, helpful, fair, honest people. Maureen is an expert at what she does, she is very knowledgeable and thorough and has a great attention to detail. Maureen was a huge help throughout the nine months of planning leading up...

    I feel compelled after reading some reviews that are out there to share my own experience at Conrad Botzum Farmstead. From the planning stages to the day of, we had an incredible experience with the Botzum Farm. George and Maureen could not have been more helpful and they were very communicative, often times reaching out to us to see how our planning was going or to help us with certain aspects such as organizing rentals for the big day. They were there for us the day of to make sure everything went smoothly and were even able to set up and tear everything down for us before and after the wedding for a small fee, which allowed us to...

    I will never forget October 23, 2010 beacuse that is the day my husband and I were married at the most conceivably beautiful place around - The Conrad Botzum Farmstead! From the moment I saw the farm, I knew there was no other place I would want our wedding to be. My husband agreed and that was that; we began planning. Right from the start, the owners of the farm were a tremendous help. They love the farm so much and want nothing more than to share it with others and give every bride (and groom) a day they'll never forget. I can honestly say I felt like a special bride. Their close attention to detail and careful condsideration...

    Conrad Botzum Farmstead was a wonderful place to get married! Maureen and George were so easy to work with. Maureen is extremely organized, detail oriented, professional and knows what she's doing! She was ready with suggestions, ideas, and vendors when asked but she never made suggestions without my asking first and I never felt any pressure about the choices I was making. Underneath this professionalism, she is warm and kind and genuinely cares about the couples who get married at their farm. I did not feel like just another booking, I know that she truly wanted to help us have the most perfect day possible.

    George is the perfect compliment to Maureen. He is easy going and...

Maureen is extremely knowledgeable about all of your wedding needs and helping you prepare for your big day. She offers excellent support and guidance during the wedding planning process. George is an extraordinarily hard worker and will do everything he can to ensure that the property is gorgeous and your wedding set up is done to perfection.

    I will preface this by saying that Botzum is a GORGEOUS place. We got so many compliments, and it really is a unique, lovely, perfectly rustic setting. Our wedding day was beautiful and when everything came together I couldn't imagine anything more perfect. I don't want to put off anyone from booking here. I rated my experience a 4.2 for a reason. It's important to understand, though, that the planning process was a little less sterling than I would have hoped. Maureen is great at organizing and keeping you on track - but I underestimated the amount of stress (and extra cost) having my wedding there would be. Brides considering this venue should have accurate expectations. When you rent...

    I'll have to make this short and sweet since while typing my initial review of this place, I ran out of room in this box to type anything else. First, very beautiful venue, especially if you're going to have a fall wedding as the leaves were already changing. Lawn very well manicured, cars parked out of sight lines of any pictures. The woman in charge of the venue is hard to get a hold of. Expect her to not return calls for a few days sometimes. She's nice and will tell your fiance not to be stressed and everything will be ok and look great and the next phone call your fiance will get bombarded with questions faster than...

    Picturesque and that's it. The owners make you feel like you will destroy their property and follow you around just to make sure you don't. Mosquitoes are horrible and the owners don't warn you beforehand. The owners also walk around in their street clothes while everyone looks like they are attending the wedding. It was appalling to watch them walk around in street clothes. What if they made it in a wedding picture?
    The owners make you feel like you are getting kicked out. They started tearing everything down at 10:30 pm and we had the venue until 11:30 pm. I would never recommend having an event here.
