What really impressed us was how seamlessly everything came together, the catering is a monopoly; our catering coordinator Joanne stepped up and helped manage the space too, making sure every detail was handled. Our guests raved about the venue itself—there's something special about getting married in a place that's been so well cared for by the township. The pricing was very reasonable, which meant we could spend our budget on other things that mattered to us. We'd absolutely recommend Sayen House & Gardens to any couple planning an intimate celebration. The rains earlier in the day made the gardens look like a rainforest out of fairy tales”

“The team at Johnson's Locust Hall Farm made our wedding day truly special. Their communication was always clear, quick, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. The venue has a close working relationship with Toscano's catering - we did not need to worry about communication between the two, as it was always seamless (not to mention Toscano's has the best wedding food we've ever eaten). The venue itself is beautiful, intentionally designed, and impeccably well-maintained. We toured many farm venues, and this one stood out immediately. When a thunderstorm hit 10 minutes before our outdoor ceremony, the staff jumped into action and seamlessly shifted the order of events around to hold cocktail hour while the storm passed. They were even able to get us back outside on magically dry seats, fulfilling our dream of an outdoor ceremony. Avery and the entire team were incredibly accommodating, running every detail by us and ensuring we had the final say. Our guests have not stopped raving about the stunning venue and the warm, welcoming staff. Avery, Carol, Allie, and everyone else have hearts of gold. Johnson's also offers in-house florals - Carol and Allie's attention to detail and willingness to work with us on budget were so appreciated. I feel so lucky to have been married at Johnson's Locust Hall Farm. Do not think twice about choosing this venue!”
