Cantigny Park was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they responded to all of our questions quickly and were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the onsite ceremony coordinator ensured the ceremony ran smoothly, and the reception team worked seamlessly with the ceremony team to make the entire day flow effortlessly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the staff provided top-notch service to us and all of our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Cantigny Park to any couple looking for a stunning, well-organized wedding venue.

One of my favorite wedding venues in the area!!!!!!! As a wedding photographer who's photographed at a fair share of venues, Northfork Farm takes the cake and is certainly in my top faves!!!!! It is so serene, peaceful, and beautiful. It also has a very intimate, homey-feel to it. I love the horses galloping around the farm the warm twinkle lights sprinkled around the barn. Plus, the staff is WONDERFUL and does a great job at handling all the ins and outs of running a venue and making sure their couples are taken care of. For anyone who's always dreamed of a barn wedding - Northfork Farm is THE ONE!!!
