We fell in LOVE with Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm from the moment we drove in! It was one of the first venues we saw and we knew we wouldn’t have to look any further. It’s an absolutely beautiful farm filled with sunflowers and wildflowers. We absolutely loved getting ready in the wonderful farm house estate right on the venue. Leading up to the wedding, Avery and the Johnson Locust Hall Farm family had great communication and were very accommodating. The day of the wedding, we literally had to worry about NOTHING. They took care of everything and they had everything planned out to a T. The cocktail hour was spectacular in the stone barn and the reception was amazing in the breezeway barn. We are SO over the moon to have gotten married here. We are so happy that we can also visit again during the fall and spring during their events & farm activities which makes it so special that we could see this gorgeous venue again. HIGHLY recommend.

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Southampton, NJ
  • Up to 175 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $14,500

Constructed in 1932, this vintage barn oversees 12+ acres of native grasslands – a rich habitat for wildflowers, birds and butterflies – and a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer. The property is also home to Pinelands Preservation Alliance, whose mission is to protect the natural resources, history and culture of this unique region. In 2017, the Alliance transformed the barn into a great gathering place. The recently completed renovation brings contemporary comfort and energy efficiency to a setting that still retains its authentic character. For weddings and private celebrations, the “big red barn” opens onto beautiful outdoor spaces for garden ceremonies and cocktails, while the interior is scaled for dinner and dancing for as many as 175 guests.

Our wedding is this October at Bishop. We are so excited and the venue couldn't be more perfect for a fall or spring wedding. The venue is unique in that the reception is held in the barn loft. How cool and different!! We had a coordinator assigned to us which make us feel secure that our day will run smoothly! Everyone has been so helpful with the entire process. We couldn't recommend this venue and the team behind the scenes more!

From the moment we stepped into The Hamilton Manor, my husband and I knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The entire team - especially Cheyenne, Lloyd, Hannah, and Caitlyn - went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They kept everything running seamlessly, made sure we always had a drink in our hands, and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of the day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - cozy, elegant, and full of rustic charm. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, how beautiful the atmosphere felt, and how much FUN they had. Many even said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to! We would choose The Hamilton Manor a million times over. The service, the setting, and the entire experience were truly unforgettable.
