    Amazing Wedding Venue!

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces were beautiful and provided the perfect flow for the evening. We didn’t need to add many florals or decorations because the spaces themselves are so unique and pretty! And the gardens were a lovely backdrop for our wedding photos. I seriously cannot say enough about how wonderful this venue is. Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. They also had great recommendations for other vendors which was incredibly helpful. My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we picked TGBF as our wedding venue and will cherish the memories made there forever. We highly recommend this venue to all couples!

    Gorgeous Grounds

    Before I was engaged, I remember seeing posts about this wedding venue on Facebook. I had seen pictures of weddings here from mutual friends and always thought it looked so pretty. When the time came, I knew this was one of the venues I wanted to look at. I got engaged in December of 2020, and went to look at venues in January 2021. This was the first venue we looked at, and we immediately stopped looking at others when we viewed it. We loved the many options it had to offer. We were originally unsure if we wanted to get married outside (we had a summer wedding), or if we wanted to get married inside. We ultimately decided to get married inside because the inside of the barn was so beautiful. We loved how the layout of the barn included every space needed for a wedding. The upper level of the barn was used for our ceremony. Downstairs in the lower level was a separate area for cocktail hour, and the other side included a large area for receptions. In addition, the main house includes an area for you and your bridal party to get ready.
    I always knew I was happy with what we had picked, but on the night of our wedding rehearsal I had felt 10x more confident. We had our rehearsal on June 23, 2022, and got married on June 25, 2022. Coming to the TGBF on rehearsal night confirmed that I loved this venue. Since it was summer, all of the florals and other greenery were in full bloom. They even had their water fountain on (which so many of our guests complimented on our wedding day). Seeing almost everything set up on rehearsal night made it feel so much more real. Everything in place looked so beautiful. The lighting, the decorations, the placement and setting of the chairs and tables looked perfect. Everything fell into place. We received so many compliments about having our wedding here at TGBF. Everyone complimented us about how beautiful the grounds were, and how well of a time they spent there.
    To top things off, Linda and Lauren were very personable, flexible, and friendly. They both made sure everything was in place. They would answer all my questions when needed. I appreciate everything they did/provided to make our wedding day how it was.
    Overall, I’m so glad we chose to have our wedding here. It was a beautiful day, and I could not have imagined it anywhere else.

    I love it. It is such a blessing to us to hear such positive feed back. I am so thankful to have such wonderful clients.

    Beautiful Hidden Gem!

    Beautiful venue! The groom cried when he saw everything set up, and he’s not a big crier! I can’t count the amount of people that told me how much they loved it. I think they’ve only been open a couple years, some of which was during Covid, but I’m thinking they will be one of the most popular barn venues in the area!

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm's reply:

    A groom crying gets me every time! So sweet. We strive to make each wedding special for each couple and this just is icing on the cake. I am so thankful you chose us!

    Absolutely amazing! Would recommend to everyone!!

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm was the perfect place for our wedding! We found them on wedding wire and was the first venue we went to visit. We ended up not even going to look at any other places we knew this was it after meeting with the owner. She really made us feel at home. The venue is absolutely beautiful, our pictures turned out amazing. Also the venue came with a wedding planner which was an absolute life saver (Affairs Extraordinaire by Marta). She helped everything go smoothly and setup the entire venue to our vision. Can't say thank you enough to everyone who made our day so special. Definitely go check out the Gardens at Bethlehem Farm!!

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm's reply:

    I can't love this more. When you say "she really made us feel at home" it gives me all the feels!
    We hope for every couple that gets married here that our venue holds a special place in your heart as it does ours.
    It is such an honor to be able to provide a space for you and many others to create memories for a lifetime.
    Thank you so much Alexis!

    Gorgeous farm & wonderful owners!

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm is a magical place! We found them on Wedding Wire and were the first place we contacted about going to see as a possible wedding venue and the place stole our hearts. We never even wanted to look anywhere else because this farm felt like a perfect fit even from the very beginning and we pretty much decided then and there that it would be out spot. The owners are so sweet and made it feel like family to be on their farm with them. The bridal suite is gorgeous and all the ceremony/reception areas are equally as amazing. A wedding planner (Affairs Extraordinaire by Marta) was included with our package which was a saving grace we didn't even know we needed, but the wedding day went by flawlessly! I really can't say enough great things about this place! Go check it out!!

    First Impression

    I went for a tour and fell in love with the venue, I met with property owner and she was very down to earth kind understanding. she explained everything in detail so I can understand as a first time bride and never have experienced wedding planing she settled my mind a lot.

    The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm's reply:

    It was a pleasure to meet you! Thank you so much for the sweet words. I look forward to hopefully talking with you again soon.

    AMAZING barn venue!

    We got married on May 7, 2021 and could not have asked for a better venue! This place is absolutely beautiful and perfect! The multiple areas for a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place is so convenient. The owners are great people, as well as our wedding planner! There was absolutely no stress on my end as a bride that day!

    If we could repeat our day over again at this venue, we absolutely would!❤️

    Outstanding

    This was a wonderful venue that was very accommodating after COVID interrupted our original date. At no point did I ever feel stressed leading up to our big day. Beautiful location and a wonderful value! Would get married here again!

    Absolutely wonderful

    The gardens at Bethlehem farm was my dream venue. They were the most kind helpful people. They not only helped me with everything I needed but even allowed me to change my date a few months before the wedding because of family circumstances. They provided Marta Kastner as my wedding planner and she was awesome. Above and beyond doesn’t begin to explain everything she did for us. She took care of our decorations and everything we wanted. She ran our rehearsal dinner and helped me with so much extra stuff. They made the most important day of my life an absolute dream.

    Beautiful venue and great people

    My husband and I chose to have our wedding reception at The Gardens at Bethlehem Farm in April 2021. We knew after our first visit to the venue that it was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process (which was during the pandemic) Linda and Lauren were a pleasure to work with, addressed all of our concerns, and were extremely flexible. We could not have asked for a better venue to work with. We have also received so many compliments from guests on what a beautiful and unique venue it was!

    10/10 would recommend

    Linda and everybody on her team at the gardens were the best. They answered any questions in a timely manner, they provided all the details and things to know about their venue from the start and it was so easy to work with them. We had a great time.

    Best venue EVER!!!

    Honestly, we could not have picked a more perfect venue for our 9/20/2020 wedding! From our first steps into the barn, we knew that’s where our wedding would be. The owners are the most thoughtful and kind people to work with. They genuinely love sharing their property with couples and it really shows! Many of our guests repeatedly told us it was the most beautiful venue they’d been to. From the upper barn, to the cocktail area, to the lower barn and all the beautiful scenery outside - you really can’t beat it! Highly HIGHLY recommend this venue!!!

    Linda & Lauren are amazing!! My family came from ny and wanted to see the venue. Linda welcomed us into her home with open arms and she treated us like we knew her for years. Her and Lauren actually communicate which has been rare with other venues since we started our search. I cant wait to get married here in 5/2020.

    Gorgeous venue with incredible hospitality

    TGBF treated my husband and I like royalty! Linda (the owner) was amazing and helped our dream barn/rustic wedding become a reality. Her venue is impeccable! The customer service from Linda and her family/team made us feel right at home which helped us enjoy our day even more than expected! You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding here. The bridal suite is perfect for photos and decorated beautifully. Everyone loved the venue! A true hidden gem!

    Warm, Inviting, and Professional

    Planning and actual wedding day experience for our daughter's wedding with Tim and Linda was amazing! They are so professional in what they do, yet down to earth with helpful suggestions and attentiveness to us. They worked with our last minute heating issues (it was a cool October evening) and let our decorators do an amazing job of adding special touches! Our wedding pictures are beautiful thanks to the beautiful bridal suite and outside areas and of course the barn and reception area were amazing. Can't say enough good things - they genuinely cared about us and how important this day was to us! Special people - you can tell they love what they do and want each bride and groom to feel special!

    Spectacular!

    This was the absolute perfect venue for us! The owners are incredible people and do such an amazing job working with you on what you want and need. We booked way back in Nov. 2017 and had the pleasure of watching the renovation of this venue. I know they still have plans to continue to add to their dream but I couldn’t have been more thrilled come the day of our wedding this past September. Everything was so beautiful and truly magical. Linda is a goddess of the gardens! I don’t have one negative comment for this place. They made our wedding a dream come true!

    Best day ever!

    The Gardens of Bethlehem farm and Tim& Linda Pierce are phenomenal-!! They are the nicest, most accommodating people who’s hearts are as big and beautiful as their property. From the first time I met them with my son and now daughter-in-law I KNEW it was going to be the best day ever. The attention to detail is bar none and there was no wondering ‘ what if’s’ the day of my sons wedding. Every one of the guests commented on the pristine grounds and the details that showed in everything the Pierces have lovingly put into the barn. We cannot thank them enough for making us feel like part of the family that day and ensuring everything was as it should be. Thank you so much!! Forever grateful, Michelle & Doug Keenen
