Cricket Chirp Farm& owners, Melanie& Steve, were everything we could ask for from day 1. They treat you like family and make sure your entire day goes as planned. Their organization and communication skills are top tier. This venue is absolutely stunning, from the bridal and groom suites to the stunning pavilion for the reception or the greenhouse you get married in or in-front of. This was a dream come true. Our wedding was an absolute fairytale. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way and will forever be grateful for the opportunity we were given by booking with Cricket Chirp Farm. Thank you X a million Melanie & Steve! If anyone’s looking for the perfect wedding- please look into this venue! I have a few photos I’ll attach that I was able to take - professional photos will be posted and they will be tagged once we receive them!

My husband and I got married at Cricket Chirp Farm this May, and I cannot put into words how perfect it was. Melanie and Steve are two of the nicest and most helpful people I have ever worked with. They were attentive throughout the entire planning process, and day-of, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect day.
And the venue itself is beautiful. I am from the midwest, so having the mountains in the background as we got married was so wonderful. It made for a perfect wedding and perfect pictures. So grateful for our experience at Cricket Chirp.

My Fiance and I discovered Cricket Chirp Farm thru Facebook and we decided to tour the venue to see if it aligned with our wedding vision. We fell in love with it as soon as we pulled up by the Victorian house on the premises. Steve and Melanie gave us a tour of the venue and by the end of the tour, we knew for sure that this was the perfect venue for the intimate wedding we had envisioned. We had our wedding this past weekend and all of our guests loved the venue. The view from the greenhouse was breathtaking that we used very minimal decoration. The mountains in the background make a PERFECT backdrop!
Steve and Melanie are awesome to work with and they were supportive from the beginning stages of the wedding planning until the very end. I was stress-free throughout the wedding planning because they got in touch with all of our vendors and they were able to accommodate the requests of the vendors.
On the day of the wedding, we had a hiccup and Melanie went to great lengths to make sure things went as planned. My husband and I are truly grateful and we are glad we chose Cricket Chirp Farm for our wedding.
