“We got married here on 10/11/25 and it was nothing short of amazing! From the beginning, Caitlyn was always responsive and thoughtful. On our wedding day, they made sure things were setup so all we had to do was decorate. The family helped chauffeur our guests. They even brought out heaters for us when it got cold! 10/10, definitely would recommend.”

“My husband and I had an amazing experience getting married here. The venue is so stunning (especially at sunset), and it even includes a beautiful waterfall area which is an amazing place to take pictures. The cows are so cute and friendly, and the optional bridal suite is a must. It’s cute, fully stocked with everything you need, and conveniently right on the property. Diane is the best to work with - she always got back to us right away, and was always super friendly and helpful. I would recommend Paradise Family Farm to anyone looking for a magical place to get married, it is so worth it. I’ve included some pics from our wedding of the barn, the outdoor ceremony site, and the waterfall area.”
