Not only is the Cracker Factory a beautiful hidden gem, but every person on the team is amazingly considerate, kind, and helpful. Ashley, Brandon, and Amanda were a joy to work with from the initial tour to all email correspondence, the day of and even when picking up our decor the day after. We stumbled on the venue in a random Google search and decided to check it out while passing through after the holidays, and were blown away by the venue's layout, architecture, interior design, and features. It was everything we wanted and more. They provided us a very detailed list of recommended vendors covering everything from furniture rentals to catering, even hotels and airbnbs in the area. Their bar service packages were expertly tailored and they even had NA beer and wine which quite a few of our guests really appreciated. Brandon and Ashley were like extra coordinators during our tea ceremony, welcome party, and wedding day. They are extremely understanding of cultural ceremonies and were happy to boil water needed for our tea ceremony and set up the necessary seating and tables for it. Brandon was so attentive to us and our whole wedding party and family. We got so many compliments on his friendliness and kindness, as well as how beautiful and unique the venue is. Ashley was so quick to respond and answer any questions we had weeks and days leading up to our wedding. When we were visiting shops and places in the Geneva area a couple days leading up to the wedding, everyone in the community gave them such high praise, telling us we were in great hands, and they couldn't have been more right. Everyone at the cracker factory is professional, kind, communicative, and fun. They helped us have an incredibly fun and stress-free wedding. We couldn't recommend this space and this team enough.

My husband and I had our wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm this past weekend 10/26/2024 and it was an absolute dream. Not only was it the dreamiest wedding because we got married in front of all of the people we love, but because of the absolutely beautiful venue and the team that brought it to life. Morten & Min, the owners were so helpful, kind and just the brightest lights from the moment we met them when we toured the venue through the planning phase and our wedding day. They clearly have a very buttoned up and efficient process, which showed the day of. Now let me talk about the rest of staff … they are AMAZING. We worked with Lawrence and Rosie the weeks leading up to our wedding and the day of and not only did they go above and beyond at their jobs, they truly seemed so happy to be there. There were a number of other team members behind the scenes that helped bring together a seamless wedding (we barely even noticed them - in a good way!) so thank you to the team. This includes the chefs cooking it up in the kitchen, while we didn’t see you … we were told by friends and family how delicious the food was / it was the best wedding food they ever had. The risotto…. Oh my was it delicious!! Another amazing benefit of Blenheim Hill Farm was their recommended babysitter, Victoria - she watched 5 of the kids who attended ceremony but not reception right on the grounds. She made arts and crafts and carved pumpkins with them! The parents and kids were very happy with her. Lastly, all we have to say is….. GET MARRIED HERE!!!!
