I love working at Summit Farm. The staff makes the day smooth. Each couple receives a wedding coordinator that helps in all aspects of the wedding. Many times you will find the staff following around the photographer to make sure the bride’s dress stays pristine, if someone needs a drink or if they are they to just hold the bouquet. The staff are always making sure other vendors feel comfortable with everything going on. It is a wonderful experience.

I was supposed to help my sister plan her wedding and honestly the team at BBH made it so easy, I felt like she didn’t even need me… Our whole group went to watch live music the night before wedding / after the rehearsal dinner and drink & dance! For the actual wedding, in-house catering is just so much easier. My personal faves were the Mac n’ cheese egg rolls and brisket. Everyone is already ready to go back. Thank you so much!!
