The venue was perfect for our October wedding. We held the ceremony under the Pavilion just before sunset so by the lighting was perfect! The vibe is a little country or rustic so it was perfect for our sunflower theme. Our reception in the barn was spacious and we didn’t feel crowded with our party of 85 guests. The buffet was delicious, and our special bride and groom mocktails were seasonal and delicious too! We were able to have a video showing on the large screen TV’s which was extra special. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend Clyde’s as a wedding venue. Be sure to book early to get the date and time you want.

From our first email to our wedding day, the team at Rocklands Farm Winery made us feel like family. They were genuinely invested in every detail and shared stories and laughs that put us at ease throughout the planning process. The vineyard and barn setting is charming and rustic, with beautiful design elements, not enough can be said about the individual transformation Anna makes for each event, that didn't need much help to shine. The staff went out of their way to support us, and they took control of the coordination with ease, the team seamless did all the little things, and the owner was the only one to make both of blubber with a very special moment on our big day.
