    The Farmhouse was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was great, easy, and thoughtful - they made us feel at ease and confident that all would be taken care of. The quality of their work was beautiful, timeless, and elegant, creating an atmosphere that was perfect for our special day. They were attentive to any need we had to ensure a smooth, seamless experience. We couldn't recommend The Farmhouse more highly - book them for your wedding, you won't regret it!

Their communication is fast, efficient and helpful, and the extreme value for your money here is incredible - the space is beautiful and perfect for a party. The coordinator Katie was on top of everything - organized, kind, and made our dream day come true. Truly a special place and a special team. Many of my guests have described my wedding as "perfect" and that's how I feel too!

    From the moment we first reached out, the team at The Farmhouse was responsive, clear, and professional in their communication. Their charming, elegant, and comforting venue provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff's attention to detail and genuine connection with us and our extended family made us feel right at home. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage, and we're so grateful to The Farmhouse for helping to make our wedding day so memorable and thank you to Laura who rocked this entire event for us! We could not have done this without you.

    We had a wonderful experience with the Farmhouse for our October 2024 wedding. Anna, our coordinator, was extremely helpful and responsive, and really put us at ease knowing that things would be taken care of. Our guests raved over the venue and really enjoyed the food and drinks. Plus, the landscaping is beautiful and we got some great photos!
