“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.

“Our wedding at Venue 5126 was amazing beyond our wildest dreams. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and perfect the venue was. The ceremony in the pergola, the cocktail reception on their gorgeous paver patio, dinner in the upscale tent and dancing in the barn all flowed perfectly and looked incredible. More importantly to us, the staff at Venue 5126 is what sets the apart from other venues we considered. We worked with them for over a year to plan every detail of our wedding, and anyone and everyone on their staff was available night and day to answer all of our questions and ease our worries. The day of, the staff was incredible and made sure all of our needs were taken care of.

“Had our wedding 9/14/24. Absolutely amazing. Katy was so helpful and attentive and made planning a breeze. The staff were absolutely amazing and helped every step of the way. They would bring me drinks or anything I needed, helped carried my bouquet when I was walking with my dress, and even brought the golf cart around from the train since we were running late for our first dance. We rented out the slide and train and both were a HUGE hit. Everyone the next day raved about how much fun they had and it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. The staff even let the slide go for another half hour since the kids (and adults) were having so much fun. Definitely recommend this venue if you want a rustic vibe.”

“We’ve only had the chance to shoot a couple of weddings at the Meyer Ballroom so far — but we already love it! The space is absolutely beautiful, with great natural light and clean, modern details that photograph so well. It’s one of those venues where everything just works visually, which makes our job so much easier. Even more than the space, the team at Paramount is amazing. Everyone we’ve worked with has been kind, organized, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for couples and vendors alike. That kind of energy makes a huge difference on a wedding day! We’re definitely looking forward to working there more in the future, it’s always a good one to see on our schedule. – The Once Like a Spark Team”
