This rustic farm wedding was everything of our dreams! We couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of the lovely owners Wendy and Stewart. They not only helped with every detail but actually cared like we were family every step of the way in planning. Not only was their farm the perfect picturesque event space but Wendy and Stewart made it magical by making their home feel like ours! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space for our unforgettable wedding!
The most amazing place! We just celebrated our daughter's wedding at Ashton Farm on 5/6/23. Words can't express what a wonderful time everyone had. From the quaint house where the bridal party got ready, to the beautiful pond where the ceremony was held....to the horses, donkeys, the beautiful fields of green & the historic barn where the reception was held. So picturesque and naturally beautiful. Wendy the owner is a true gem, so helpful and friendly, she really made the day special. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue. Highly recommend for a barn wedding!
What a fantastic place to have our wedding. The barn and the grounds made for the most romantic and beautiful photographs! The staff there are so caring and helpful. Or day was perfect!

I fell in love with Ashton Farm the moment I saw it. The farm is stunning with a beautiful pond, willow tree, open fields, and a rustic barn. Stuart and Wendy went above and beyond to make our day special. Our day ended up calling for rain in the evening and they did everything they could to make sure that didn’t stop us from having the best day. We rented a tent for the reception and had an absolute blast. Everything was stunning and our guests had the best time, despite the weather. We went to the farm early and got amazing photos on this beautiful property. I cannot rave about this venue enough. The perfect Hunterdon County venue. Thank you Wendy, Stuart, and Shep for all you did for us! We are beyond thankful!
I was a bride at the Ashton Farm! I can't say enough wonderful things about my special day. I was looking to have a wedding that had that whimsical farm feel and this venue was just perfect for that. The amount of effort and time that the Ashton's took to make the grounds pristine and beautiful was truly extraordinary. From the stunning open fields, to the gorgeous pool area it provided such great unique spaces to celebrate, while still having a warm and inviting feel! My guests were so impressed with all the little details that the property offered. I highly recommend this venue, as it truly encompasses all that you hope for on your wedding day!
We had a family wedding here years ago and I still have such wonderful memories of how absolutely beautiful the Ashton Farm was. The entire property was just totally gorgeous. The scenery around every corner is breathtaking. Owning a home of my own, I can only imagine the year round up-keep that goes into maintaining such a beautiful property – the trees, the flowers, the grass, the fields….everything was just beautiful. The true and authentic rustic farm feeling does not happen on its own, that's for sure. The Ashton Farm is a labor of love, which is totally apparent before you even step foot onto the property. What a special, special place.
I was married at this glorious property 7 years ago. The Ashtons made my day PERFECT! I got ready in the beautiful farmhouse, was married under a large willow tree next to the lake, had a wonderful cocktail hour by the pool, then on to the fun reception under the tent on top of the tennis court. The electric was run all the way down to the ceremony location, so I was able to have an instrumental quartet and singer. My guests have told me, repeatedly over the years, that it was the most enjoyable wedding they had ever attended. The sweet animals on the farm made it so sweet. Lots of beautiful property to get amazing pictures. The Ashtons were friendly, kind, accommodating, and made my event go seamlessly. Absolutely no stress or drama from the minute I booked with them. I highly recommend Ashton Farms for your wedding, if you are looking for an outdoor wedding. The beauty of this place is overwhelming. Everything was perfect.
This farm is absolutely beautiful. I had the wedding of my dreams here. This farm is in Califon New Jersey and has many fields of grass, a beautiful tree lined driveway (these are stunning super tall trees), a pond, and as a bonus lovely horses and donkeys. There are a few possible locations on the farm for the ceremony and a perfect location for a large white wedding tent. The owners, Wendy and Stuart were so gracious and thoughtful. They offered us many tips about wedding preparation and gave me many cups of delicious English tea to calm my nerves. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and added special lights and decorations on our wedding day. They really made us feel welcome and like family. This farm and the owners will always hold a special place in my heart!
This farm is beautiful! I really loved the bridge with the lights across the railings and the pond with the fountain. Everything was accessible and easy to walk to. I would definitely consider this place for my own wedding, whenever that happens! 😁
We loved Ashton Farms! My fiance and I reached out to Wendy after postponing our big September wedding- but decided we wanted to have a mini wedding on our original date. We were so incredibly happy with how everything turned out at Ashton Farms- we are even considering cancelling the big wedding!
Ashton Farms is still figuring out some logistics as they go out on their own as the venue and day-of coordinators. But Wendy was so helpful in offering suggestions for caterers, rental companies and ceremony logistics. The venue is so beautiful and picturesque. It offers and intimate, yet elegant feel. Ashton Farms also just purchased a tent, so it is brand new. Our guests were thrilled and we would absolutely recommend!
The Ashton's where great. Their farm is beautiful. They put alot of hard work making our day magical. They made sure the landscaping was breathtaking. Groomed the fields, added flowers throughout. They surprised us at night by putting luminaries around the pond and the walk ways. It was so beautiful.
The Ashton's treated us like family and made sure everything was perfect.
Wow! What a wonderful experience it was to work with Wendy and Stuart and to have our wedding reception at their lovey farm. Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Wendy’s goal is to ensure that her brides are happy and have as little stress as possible. She was extremely accommodating and communicative throughout the process. Our day was perfect. The farm is simply beautiful and it was the ideal place for our 75 guest wedding during COVID-19. Wendy and Stuart went above and beyond to handle some of the details for which we were extremely grateful. We highly recommend having your event at Ashton Farm! You won’t regret it.
Wendy was so accommodating both before and during our wedding to the point of opening up her home to allow me to change dresses for the reception dinner. She helped in all aspects of planning the wedding. I can’t say enough great things about Wendy and Ashton Farms Wedding Venue and Farm. It was just beautiful , the grounds the views, we got married right in front of the pond with the fountain in the background which was just perfect for pictures. Very happy with this wedding venue would recommend to anyone planning their wedding, you won’t regret it!
My son and his (now) wife looked at many places to have their wedding. They chose Aston Farm because of the beautiful setting and the kindness of the owners. The Aston’s were wonderful and were very accommodating. The farm was stunningly beautiful and it was obvious they have spent a lot of time and money on landscaping and keeping the farm beautiful. I highly recommend Aston Farm as an idyllic setting for a memorable wedding!
Don’t be fooled by the negative review! The person writing that review neglected to say that her second deposit that was due in February was never received by Ashton Farm! She was also offered to reschedule. We had an excellent experience. The grounds were beautiful and our pictures turned out great. Wendy was so supportive regarding helping us get rental chairs and an officiant. We had a very small wedding due to Covid which turned out beautifully!
Don't be fooled by Stewert Ashton's charming British accent...He together with Frungillo Caterers are not honorable!
We had my daughter's wedding scheduled for 8/22/20 and due to Covid, cancelled early April. Stewert Ashton would not refund our deposit money. No services were rendered and they chose to keep our deposit money. They did not return my numerous emails and phone calls. This is no way to run a business. Extremely unprofessional! Don't be fooled!
