“From the moment we started planning, Bellevue Hall's team responded to our emails right away, which made the whole process stress-free. The venue itself is stunning with its lush gardens and floral backdrops, and we loved how flexible they were with customizing the space to match our vision. Our coordinator was there the entire day and jumped in to help whenever we had questions or needed something adjusted. They also took our dietary restrictions seriously and went out of their way to make sure all our guests with allergies were taken care of. The spacious grounds gave us so many options for photos and different areas to use throughout the event. We'd recommend Bellevue Hall to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-run venue.”

“From the very first tour to the moment we drove away after our wedding day, we were treated like family at Castle Farm. We cannot thank Catherine, Darren, and their entire team enough for everything they did to make our day so special. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident in every interaction. Our guests, family, and friends have not stopped complimenting how beautiful the venue was and how perfectly it reflected who we are as a couple. Castle Farm truly brought our vision to life.

“From our first meeting with Rachel at King Cole Farm, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel was outstanding throughout the entire process - from our initial visit to the day of the event and even in the days after. She always had a warm smile on her face and took care of anything that came up, no matter how big or small. Rachel put us at ease and made the entire weekend a fabulous experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The beautiful scenery where the ceremony took place, the lovely cocktail hour space, and the grand barn doors that the wedding party walked through - it was all an amazing experience. There was plenty of room for the caterer, bar, desserts, late night snacks, and of course, dancing! On the day of the event, we had the pleasure of working with the intern as well. She was so kind, giving rides to the ceremony and back to the cocktail hour and house for our elderly guests. She also helped us with the cleanup at the end of the night. The entire King Cole Farm staff is truly top-notch. I am still getting phone calls, text messages and social media posts that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! I would highly recommend King Cole Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue. We had such a wonderful experience, and I hope to use them again in the future!”
