If you’re looking for a secluded, breathtaking, and truly one-of-a-kind wedding venue, Born to Run Farm in Glen Gardner, NJ is it. The property sits on 130 stunning acres, and from...
the moment we visited, we knew it was exactly the setting we wanted.
The booking process was quick and easy, and working with Joe throughout planning was a great experience. Since it’s an active, working farm as well as a venue, Joe sometimes took a couple of days to respond—but he always did, and he was consistently helpful, kind, and professional. They provide a list of suggested vendors, which was super helpful because this is a completely DIY venue. That was a huge plus for me, since I wanted anything but a cookie-cutter ballroom wedding.
On the day of, Joe’s team—including his mom—were fantastic. They set up our tented reception exactly how I pictured it and even handled all the breakdown at the end of the night, which was such a relief. We wanted my husband’s classic car at the wedding because it’s played a big role in our lives, and Joe had zero issues with it. In fact, when we got stuck trailering it out the next morning, he literally helped us with his tractor! It doesn’t get more above-and-beyond than that.
I was a little nervous about the weather for a mid-October wedding, but somehow we landed one of the most beautiful days—right between two rainy weekends. And for any future brides wondering: yes, the reception tent is heated, which was great to discover!
All in all, Born to Run Farm was the wedding venue of my dreams, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering it. It’s unique, peaceful, flexible, and run by genuinely wonderful people. If you want a magical outdoor wedding that doesn’t feel like every other venue, this is the place.

My husband and I had our wedding this past September at Born to Run Farm and we cannot recommend it enough! We were really hoping for a beautiful NJ sunset over the mountains but t...
he weather had other plans and it rained all morning and into the reception. Joe and his team were incredible throughout the day making sure everything was taken care of from the vendors to us getting ready at the house with the rainy weather. They made the entire process of planning a wedding much smoother and were able to help where needed. Their services day of were spot on and all of our guests were raving about the location. It truly is a hidden gem that gives you a little bit of everything. I am so thankful that I was able to have my wedding at their location. Highly recommend Born to Run Farm and their amazing team!

Spectacular venue. We held my daughters wedding with 150 guests here in June 2023 and it was simply perfect. Do not hesitate, if it is available book it. They are easy to work with...
, great communicators, they will give good advice and guidance if needed. The vendors that the farm work with were also top notch. Joe and staff really care and truly want your day to be perfect. They are attentive to every detail, accommodating to your wishes, flexible and experienced. The grounds are beautiful. Weddings are a lot of work and Born to Run helped make the process more enjoyable, less stressful and it turned out to a dream wedding. Well worth the price.
Amazing attention to detail. The scenery is breathtaking. I was so happy I selected this venue. My guests still talk about our celebration.

size tent with a skylight roof , but mainly how attentive the staff was to the guests , especially my 6yr old grandson. We were taken down to the barn to see the animals, which was a highlight for him! Born to Run Farm ran an impressive wedding for my friend. A must visit for any future bride and groom I’m sure you will love it .

The recommended vendors were very easy to work with and also love working at Born to Run. I could go on, but if your looking for an outdoor venue Born to Run Farm should be at the top of your list.

the shower was a success. It is also an animal sanctuary, which is such a lovely detail to tell guests. The views are simply amazing, and any photographer would love to shoot an event here! With the amazing family and the majestic views, I cannot recommend this place enough!! Worth every single penny.

We can't recommend Born to Run highly enough. It's on a gorgeous piece of land which provides exquisite views of the country side. The old barns, the farm animals, and the postcard...
-worthy little pond give this place the feeling of a Robert Frost poem.
More importantly, the staff is hard working, pleasant, and infinitely accommodating. Joe especially works tirelessly to manage requests and details, and is available well in advance of the event date to make sure everything runs smoothly.
One recommendation: if your event is a wedding (or otherwise has a cocktail hour), make sure to time the cocktail hour around sunset. You won't be disappointed.
I held an event at Born to Run recently and it was a wonderful day. What a vista, a gorgeous day. The owners really went out of their way and made us feel like part of the family...
. The caterer worked out great. We can’t say enough about what a fabulous experience we had there.
My wife and I were married at Born to Run farm in June of 2015 and we couldn't recommend them highly enough. Joseph was fantastic to work with and worked extremely hard to bring e...
verything together for us. He was great with helping us coordinate vendors and on the day of the wedding putting it all together. The property is gorgeous! It truly was a dream wedding. We also have a lot of nieces, nephews, and friends with kids in our lives and wanted to include them in the wedding. The property is big enough that children can run around a play without constant supervision but not big enough that they'd get lost. Couldn't be happier with their services and would highly recommend them!
I had my wedding here this weekend and it was so perfect. The venue is gorgeous, with several options for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on the property. The bridal suite is...
large and open, and our photographer kept commenting how the space was so much better than a hotel for shooting getting ready photos because you're not so cramped in. The family that owns the place was so easy to work with, flexible and really there for anything we needed the day of. I loved how sweet they were. The animals are an added bonus and some guests were able to meet them. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and a lot of it had to do with the help from the venue staff, making sure we had everything we needed and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
