“My now-husband and I actually booked this venue sight unseen and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of, and OFW at Hartland played such a huge role in making it so special. The "virtual tour" online was so helpful and very accurate. When I first visited in person, I was pleased to see that it looked just like the pictures online - even more beautiful in person! We had 50 guests and this venue felt like the perfect fit for that size, but it could absolutely accommodate a much larger wedding.
I didn't hire a planner, I planned it myself, so it was very nice to have day-of coordinators as part of the package. I initially spoke with Sarah P., Director of Sales & Ops and she was very friendly, welcoming, and informative. I then worked closely with event coordinator Jamie R. leading up to the wedding. She was so helpful in answering questions, accommodating during our walkthroughs, and a HUGE help day-of. Caroline J. was our second day-of coordinator and was also very kind, helpful, and on top of everything. They made sure everything ran smoothly (setting up centerpieces, guest book table, signage, seating chart, etc.) so I didn't have to worry about any of that before the ceremony.
The property is absolutely stunning, with beautiful vineyard views, gorgeous landscaping, and so many picture-perfect locations for photos. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. It's incredibly well maintained and has such a welcoming, elegant atmosphere while still feeling relaxed and comfortable. The manor house has a beautiful get-ready room for the bridal party, another for the groom/groomsmen, and multiple other sitting rooms. The manor and pavilion are conveniently close to one another, so guests were able to easily transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner/reception. There is also tons of parking available.
As I mentioned, each staff member was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. They were professional, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly. Having a team that was so organized and responsive made the entire experience much less stressful. They were also proactive in communicating a rain plan with me the week of the wedding. Fortunately, the rain held off and we were able to have our ceremony outside, but transitioning into the pavilion works as a perfect rain plan if needed. We truly couldn't have chosen a better venue.
If you're looking for a beautiful winery with amazing scenery, a wonderful team, and a place that will make your wedding unforgettable, I can't recommend Old Farm Winery at Hartland enough. We will always cherish the memories we made there.”
