“Northfork Farm hosted our absolute dream wedding! The venue was absolutely gorgeous, and everyone was great to work with! Pete answered all of our questions throughout the process, and Leann took the day of stress away! We had multiple meetings with Leann before the wedding to communicate our vision, and get a full walkthrough of what we wanted the day to look like. Day of, all we had to do was bring her our stuff (which we actually got to do the night before at the rehearsal which was a bonus!) and she took care of the rest. She set everything up exactly how I envisioned it, and allowed my husband and I to just live in the moment rather than feeling like we were working or hosting. The property was gorgeous and incredibly well maintained. We had access to it all day and the salon was the perfect space to get ready in. There are tons of great places for photos, and some fun things that you don’t get anywhere. One, the horses! They are so friendly and adorable. Two, the fire pit! We had s’mores as a late night snack which our guests loved. And three, the pool! The pool is was what made my husband and I fall in love with the venue because we immediately knew we wanted to jump in at the end of the night. Pete set up the perfect send off and we ran through a sparkler send off and jumped right in. Our day was perfect, and the venue was everything we dreamed.”
