If you are looking for the perfect indoor and outdoor experience with a wow factor included... Look no further! Bishop offers a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, tented cocktail area and magnificent (and I do mean magically magnificent) upstairs barn dining area complete with farm tables! From first walk through to planning and day of coordination, it was an experience like no other (and I used to work as a planner for 11 years). Gina and her assistant Kayla made the entire process so easy. She put my wife and I at ease as we navigated the paperwork and details. She offered suggestions and really helped our vision for the perfect day come true. I was able to trust that she would treat my dream as her own and make it a reality. And when the hours were late and I had a questions or worries, she was right there with a "don't worry, it will be ok" and answered me within minutes to reassure me that it was being handled or offer solutions. Both her and Kayla on the day were top tier helping to set up tables such as our family photos, making it look absolutely beautiful. The food... Phenomenal!! Our families are still raving about the food quality and presentation. Shout out to the tomahawk steak chef and the Bennet station chef!! Guests were thoroughly impressed. And even at the end of the evening, Gina letting my bride borrow her slides so she could walk to the car quickly! Just so sweet! Food AMAZING, staff incredibly professional and fabulous, a photographers dream to shoot at with so many garden areas, and our planer... Gina will always hold a special place in our heart!

Our experience at Bishop Farmstead with JAM Catering has been amazing. Danielle, our coordinator, is extremely responsive and knowledgeable -- people say wedding planning is stressful, but I truly have not experienced that thanks to the expert coordination by her.
We visited Bishop in the winter and while it was somewhat difficult to envision the beauty of the grounds in summer, I am so glad we trusted our instincts (and the seasonal photo book shared by Danielle). The grounds are now lush green and flowers are in full bloom, and I cannot WAIT for our August wedding! The food at the JAM tasting was all very good, but knowing that some of the food served at our wedding will be sourced from the organic farm that Bishop Farmstead sits on makes me even more excited for the fresh, delicious food to be served on our wedding day. Many farm or barn wedding venues give rustic vibes - to me, Bishop Farmstead is pure romance in a relaxed but elegant atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Bishop Farmstead is THE perfect venue for any couple who is looking for a cozy and rustic feel for their celebration! This was our first and only venue that my fiancé and I toured and we instantly fell in love with the beautiful and well-kept grounds and barn; we knew that there was no other place that could compare. Bishop Farmstead perfectly fit our vision for a rustic, yet still elegant and classy wedding reception space. Compared to many other NJ venues, especially for the September-October months, the venue was very reasonably priced. The decor/style that the venue provides is naturally gorgeous, especially the candle package. Definitely recommend Bishop Farmstead if you are looking for a laid-back and timeless wedding/reception!

This venue was everything that we wanted and more. It is a hidden gem in my hometown that gives you a unique and rustic environment. JAM catering and all of their staff were so accommodating and made sure that our day was stress free.

I cannot say enough good things about Bishop Farmstead, Jeffrey A. Miller Catering, or their staff. Everyone that I have been in contact with during my planning process was professional, knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and so nice! They anticipated my needs and stayed in constant communication throughout the whole process, even making suggestions about things I didn't think of. Their food is amazing (farm to table) and their group tasting far exceeded my expectations! My fiancé and I are foodies and have high expectations, and JAM Catering definitely exceeded them, it's what we are most excited for. I cannot wait to get married (7 days to go)! I will also give a review after our big day but had to come on now and rave about the planning process and support, I know our day is going to be wonderful!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Bishop Farmstead as our wedding Venue. The people are great, and the place itself is beautiful.
The planners and coordinators are friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable.
The food was delicious and our guest are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how Delicious the food was. Plus, we love that it was BYOB because we were able to bring our own wine.

Our wedding is October 5th at Bishop Farmstead in Southampton, NJ and we are so excited to be working with our venue and the amazing staff! It is the perfect historic farmhouse that gives off a rustic, cozy and welcoming feeling as soon as you get there. The grounds are filled with beautiful florals, walkways, and more than enough space to hold cocktail hour or have friends and family by the firepit. Once you go upstairs in the “big red barn,” you are blown away by the hayloft, which has beautiful windows, intricate details, and a gorgeous arch that holds lighting and a chandelier. The venue is breathtaking in and of itself and you really don’t need much decor. It is the perfect venue if you are looking for a unique event while wanting your guests to feel welcomed in a warm environment. Danielle Wilson and Gina Borton have also been incredible throughout the whole process, every step of the way so far they have helped us with planning and making our vision come to life. One thing my fiance and I wanted to make sure of was that we enjoyed planning our wedding together without feeling overwhelmed or stressed, and that has been possible because of how seamless our wedding planner/event designer has made everything! Bishop Farmstead is one-of-a-kind, we are counting down the days until our wedding!

My wife and I got married at Bishop Farmstead on 11/5/23 and it could not have been more perfect! We worked with Gina to plan all the details and she made everything so easy, organized, and stress-free for us. She was there for our whole event and made sure everything ran smoothly. We got so many compliments from our guests, and we both had so much fun! We can't thank Gina, JAM Catering, and all the staff at Bishop Farmstead enough. They made all of our wildest dreams come true :)

We were very impressed by the rustic venue and we loved that it was something unique and different compared to the others that we toured. Danielle Wilson was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had. We are looking forward to our upcoming tasting at the end of January and can't wait to see how it all unfolds next September. Anyone looking for a rustic, unique venue, definitely check out Bishop Farmstead and the JAM team!

We will be getting married at Bishop Farmstead in less than two weeks!! We have had such a great experience working with JAM catering and our event designer Gina. Gina has helped all of our dreams come true. We decided 6 weeks before our date that we wanted to add another vendor, a tattoo artist, and Gina checked with the venue and caterers and make sure that was ok! We are so excited with how our wedding is going to turn out. Gina has made this process so smooth for us and it really hasn't been to stressful. She is on top of every little detail so we don't have to be. We can't wait to get married on 11.11.23 and we want to thank Jeffrey A Miller Catering, The Pineland Preservation Alliance, and Gina for such a great experience!!

The planning process up to now has been so much easier than I expected it to be, because of all the help from Gina and the rest of the Bishop Farmstead team! They are professional and easily accessible, they helped walk us through each step in the process to make it as simple and straightforward as can be.

Absolutely amazing! I got married at Bishop Farmstead on 9/16/23 and it was beyond perfect! My planner Gina and her assistant Kayla made sure every detail was spot on and the day flowed perfectly with zero hiccups. Gina was beyond helpful during the entire process (I can’t say I was the most organized bride lol) she made sure every detail was complete and everything came together beautifully. The food was amazing and the entire vibe of the day was perfect. So grateful for Gina and Kayla’s expertise in making it such a perfect day! Bishop farmstead itself is a hidden gem in South Jersey. My husband and I both grew up in the area and happened to stumble upon it while venue searching and it truly is such a beautiful venue guests couldn’t get over how stunning the loft was as well as the grounds it’s on. We had an absolutely perfect day and we would recommend Bishop Farmstead/JAM/gina&kayla to anyone!

My fiancé and I really didn't want to have your typical Jersey wedding in a ballroom so we decided we wanted to go for an elevated farm/barn look. We had visited a few other barns in the area but nothing blew us away. When we got onto the property of bishop farmstead and stepped in to the barn, we both instantly looked at each other because we knew this was our place. My favorite part is that cocktail hour is held downstairs/outside and there is a "reveal" of the upstairs reception space. The wooden tables, Edison bulbs and ambiance are breathtaking. The event staff are so thorough and attentive to all of your questions. They break down the costs in simple terms and we didn't feel like we were being "tricked" into any hidden fees, or pressured to add anything on. We are about 2 months out and I cannot wait to see it all come together for us. Bishop Farmstead has been a dream to work with.

We had the wedding of our dreams on Sunday 8/20/23. We couldn't have picked a better place to get married. The venue was so beautiful, the gardens were gorgeous and the entire vibe was exactly what we imagined. Everyone who attended said that the food was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and I can't argue because it was spectacular.
I wouldn't be able to write this 5 star review if it wasn't for Gina our Wedding Designer, she is the only reason our day went as smoothly and as perfect as it did. She was so attentive and kind from the first time we spoke to her all the way up until the last minute of our wedding day. I can't thank her enough for all of the help and time she put into making our day perfect!! THANK YOU GINA!!!

We are getting married at the Bishop Farmstead in Southampton NJ with Jeffrey Miller Catering this Saturday!!!!!
We chose this venue for the historic barn, presentation partnership, and catering through JAM Catering. The main event space is a big beautiful red barn with an outdoor area and lower level for cocktail hour. The stairs in the main barn were a key feature to our choosing this venue for our wedding as they provide a great background for pictures and a grand entrance to the reception space. They lead to a second floor which is the main barn area for dinner.
The venue also houses a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer and is now home to a nature preserve.
Included in our package is a custom menu from JAM, access to private wedding party suites for getting ready, a team of wedding professionals to help with the details, and beautiful outdoor spaces for pictures and video of our wedding.
We had a private tasting with JAM in Philadelphia where we got to try a sampling of hors d'oeuvres, salad, dinner, and desserts with as private chef. The food was absolutely incredible!!!!! Everything was fresh, farm-to-table, unique, and beautifully presented. It was a great date night and we were totally stuffed at the end!
Really looking forward to our big day this weekend!

And all the food is farm to table.

Bishop Farmstead was the first venue my fiancee and I visited -- and the last! We fell in love with the beautiful
hayloft and meadow-like outdoor space and knew we need not look any further. Cake and catering is included, and though we were initially nervous about not having a choice over catering, Jeffrey A. Miller catering definitely pulled through. At the group tasting, the tomahawk steak and BBQ pulled pork in a jar were the night's favorites. And though I am not vegan, the vegan meal and cake options were unfairly delicious! Pick Bishop -- you're in good hands!

My fiance and I are getting married at Bishop Farmstead this October and we could not be more excited! The pictures of the venue blew us away and we were even more impressed when we toured it in person. The grounds are stunning and the barn is rustic and beautiful. The JAM team and our Bishop Farmstead event designer have been super helpful thus far. Their wedding planning manual has been a life saver! We recently had our food tasting and loved all of the delicious, farm-to-table options. October can't come soon enough!

We are just thrilled that we chose this venue for our upcoming wedding! We were looking all over for a rustic barn setting, but none seemed to catch our eye until Bishop Farmstead. In person, this was the only venue we visited, and between what we saw, and the meeting with Danielle, our JAM event designer, we immediately pulled the trigger and booked our wedding here. Both the indoor and outdoor facilities are perfect for what we are looking for. The outdoor area is open and spacious; plenty of space to have lawn games or the like for our cocktail hour. The inside has two floors; the bottom floor can be used for additional cocktail hour space, but the upstairs Hayloft is the main focus: designated for the reception, which is beautiful. This venue can easily host our 120 guest wedding, and I cannot wait to see our vision come to life there!

When we began looking at venues, the thing we wanted most was the ability to make the space our own without sacrificing the existing aesthetic. After touring Bishop Farmstead, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. From the striking big red barn to the carefully curated (and natural) beauty, Bishop Farmstead is picture perfect! After booking, we primarily worked with Erika Borton to plan our event, but all of the staff that we encountered were helpful and so ready to answer any questions we had! Working with Jeffery A. Miller catering was also an amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and just plain delicious. We are still getting so many compliments on both the food and the venue! Our event, from the food to the views (and resulting photos), was everything we dreamed of and we would definitely recommend Bishop Farmstead for any special occasion!

My fiancé and I just had the pleasure of a group tasting at Aldie Mansion today! The catering was one of the major selling points when picking our venue, especially knowing that our wedding at Bishop Farmstead would be farm to table and that they could accommodate food allergies! They were so thoughtful with every detail of the process, and the event staff even told me what items to avoid for cocktail hour since I have a lot of food allergies. The cocktail hour was phenomenal. It was so lovely to meet and chat with Jeffery during cocktail hour! The food portions during the sit down tasting of entrees and desserts were much bigger than expected and so fresh and good. It was hard to pick a favorite! Can’t wait to plan our menus and for our big day!

From the time we booked with Bishop Farmstead to our anticipated wedding date, we've had less than 4 months to plan... which in theory is a very short and stressful timeframe. Our Event Coordinators onsite with Bishop Farmstead and with JAM caterers, who they work with exclusively, have made it a breeze though! They are super responsive and willing to answer any/all questions. They immediately scheduled us for a group tasting (which was AMAZING and such a fun date night experience). They also provided a list of preferred vendors they have worked with previously which they pre-screened based on our needs and availability -- booked my photographer and florist based on their recs! They also offer options to personalize your décor (choice of table settings and flatware) and offer extras (flameless candles, framed table numbers, romance package for the bride and groom's table) so there is way less to worry about on your own. They have kept us on track to make our day the most special it can be and I could not be happier with our choice! Also could not say enough about the delicious, farm to table food!

My husband and I had our wedding at Bishop Farmstead almost two weeks ago, and we still haven't come down from the high of our wedding. From the food, to the wonderful staff, the beautiful venue, and the décor, everything was perfect! From the very beginning, JAM Catering company made the planning process easy, and had a variety of food options at different prices to help us choose a menu that met our needs. Our wedding coordinator, Veronica, was such a joy to work with. She listened to all of our ideas and dreams for wedding day, and then worked tirelessly to make that dream a reality. She really was our wedding fairy godmother! All of our friends and family still can't stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was, and how delicious all of the food tasted. Most importantly, all of the staff who worked on my wedding day, including Veronica and her assistant Joanne, made the day fun and completely stress-free.

Beautiful and Efficient!
Not only is Bishop Farmstead located within the beautiful Pinelands Preservation Alliance, but the barn and surrounding grounds have all the features and amenities we were looking for. A barn with electricity, modern A/C, and an elevator for our older guests and separate outdoor spaces for the ceremony and cocktail hour are the highlights. As if that wasn't enough, they are contracted with JAM catering to provide delicious food and services for our special day!

Every space at the venue is gorgeous- from the outside ceremony space to the big beautiful red barn where the reception is to be held. Outside you will even find a fire pit and an area to set up outdoor games. The reception area located on the top floor of the barn has the most beautiful wooden tables with high ceilings with wooden beams. The lighting throughout the upstairs is phenomenal. Working with Danielle to secure our wedding date at the venue was such an easy process as well!

This venue is one of a kind. The beautiful barn and grounds make for the most dreamy wedding ceremony and reception. The staff are incredibly supportive and helpful. They have went above and beyond for our special day. We are so excited to celebrate with our family and friends at Bishop this year!

We are getting married at Bishop Farmstead June 2022 and we are so excited! Even though we're still months away, I wanted to share how amazing everyone from Bishop and JAM has been throughout the planning process. We had our tasting and the food is INCREDIBLE!! We cannot wait for our big day!

You cannot beat Bishop Farmstead for aesthetics - this venue is situated on an incredibly beautiful, open, and quiet piece of land that really will create the entire mood for your wedding day. The grounds are secluded and stunning - our wedding was in the middle of November so we still had some foliage, and the combination of the colors of the trees with the field grasses and the striking red of the barn during our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour was so beautiful. The use of the hayloft for our reception added an extra layer of surprise for our guests - the loft is truly magical. That first walk up the stairs when the chandelier comes into view is so striking, and the farmhouse style tables made for a really intimate dining experience. The food was amazing - a few of our guests told us the braised short rib was one of the best things they’d ever eaten - and they had a nice number of accommodations for our vegan and gluten-free guests as well. Finally, I cannot say enough good things about our planners Erika and Veronica - not only did our entire day go off without a hitch, but they worked with us tirelessly to make sure every detail was perfect and exactly what we dreamed of. I truly felt like our day was just as important to them as it was to us. They were also so helpful in planning our back-up rain plan, which we ended up not needing, but I was confident would be no less beautiful! They literally made the magic happen and I am so grateful we got to work with them.

Wow! First off all let me say, I was a covid bride that had four wedding dates and this was not my original venue. However, I truly believe this is where my husband and I were supposed to be married.
I worked with Danielle who is everything you want in a coordinator. She is so kind, organized, responsive and knowledgeable. I felt completely comfortable and relaxed on the big day knowing she was organizing everything, keeping us on time and creating seemless transitions between events. The event staff was professional and courteous. Shoutout to the bartenders as well, one of our signature cocktails was the bees knees and guests who did not even like gin were ordering a second one! The welcome drinks were refreshing and cool on a warm September day.
The venue is gorgeous. The barn is exactly as described, rustic and elegant. The grounds are earthy and ethereal and provide many different opportunities for photos. As someone who loves to garden and nature, the native plants on the property were an added bonus. The little details like the wooden cart for cocktails, the string lights that wrap around the trees, and the firepit for smores are the little things that make this venue so special.
We felt so taken care of throughout the entire process of planning and leading up to the big day. Danielle was there with just us and our photographer when we saw our entire vision put together and I honestly teared up!
Cannot recommend this venue enough! All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful it was. We are so happy our wedding was at Bishop Farmstead.

Our wedding at Bishop Farmstead was an absolute dream. Danielle worked with me to plan an incredible wedding in 3 months. It was clear from the very beginning that I was working with professionals. Everything was so organized and every detail I imaged came to be on my actual wedding day. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable, and the location was gorgeous. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the venue is and the wedding was weeks ago. I would highly recommend this venue!

We booked the date on our initial visit back in October of 2019, my daughter, Audrey, fell in love with the venue immediately, however it was Erika who really made this visit special. She realized instantly the importance of making Audrey feel that this day was all about her.
Erika made herself readily available regarding our plans for the day. Then Covid hit. Erika walked us through the postponement process and made things work as best as possible. Even though we lost the Saturday date we were happy with the new Friday plans.
All through 2020 and 2021 Erika continued to take a hands-on approach in making Audrey’s vision for this wedding happen. Erika is a special person, and it was our good luck that brought her to us.
Then came our amazing Wedding Planner, Veronica. As the date approached Veronica worked tirelessly helping to reduce the stress on all of us. She was always available night or day. It seemed like my wife was always on the phone with Veronica. Veronica was able to produce everything Audrey wanted for her wedding day. As she walked us upstairs to view the completed barn Audrey was in tears. She was in amazement of the beauty of it all. Thank you for our Veronica.
The Wedding Day was spectacular. Each and everyone of your staff was so professional. The suggested vendors did a wonderful job. The food from Cocktail hour right through Dessert was delicious and of course there was Erika and Veronica keeping everything going.
Your organization produced a wedding that Audrey, Erich, my wife Renee, and I wish we could relive all over again.
We will miss seeing and speaking with Erika and Veronica.

Newer venue combined with poor communication and organization led to an unfortunate experience in planning the once in a life event.

Its almost been two months since our wedding and Im still REELING over how perfect every detail of the day turned out. I planned our wedding from out of state and booked Bishop Farmstead all through FaceTime - it was a risk but BOY was it the right choice. The venue itself is STUNNING and you really can add your own touch (go big with the cocktail hour stations - they are so much fun). Cant believe I’m admitting this but I cried when I finally saw the hayloft - theres something magical about it. Erika and Danielle truly are the DREAM TEAM and will go above and beyond to make any request happen. Not only do they help you every step of the way, but they also feel like wedding family by the time the big day arrives. I still am dreaming about the FOOD and Ive gotten messages from friends who are wishing they could go back (BBQ in a jar and our entree’s chimichurri sauce was a huge hit). 10/10 in every way. NO REGRETS.
