Durrant Farms Estate was truly perfect for our whimsical garden wedding. The estate is visually stunning, with so many picturesque views of the sky, pond and forest. We had a very specific vision, and the grounds were exactly what we wanted. The view was stunning in our photos!  The amenities and accessibility were another factor in our decision. The cottage provided a beautiful space for me and my bridesmaids to get ready together in. The parking was well organized and nicely hidden. As well as walkways to restrooms that our older relatives could get to without trouble. Tom and Whitney even offered transportation on the 4x4 for those who needed it! The best part of our wedding at Durrant Farms Estate was by far Tom and Whitney. They are so passionate, charming and went the extra mile for us in so many ways. Their care was felt in every part of our day. They are wonderful collaborators, with us as well as our vendors. It felt like everybody was so connected.  We ended the day feeling like our dreams came true, and it couldn’t have been better!

Truly couldn’t have found a more perfect venue for our wedding! From beginning to end the owners Whitney and Tom made everything super easy and provided not just an arbor, rugs, corn hole boards, and a fire pit but tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception as well. Due to it being the middle of November they also had heaters in the pavilion so our guests stayed warm and comfortable through the reception. The on sight cabin was also extremely convenient to get ready in before the wedding. Whitney and Tom were there every step of the way shuttling guests and checking in throughout the day to make sure our wedding was perfect! They truly went above and beyond! Between the beautiful scenery and the adorable alpacas all of our guests were over the moon with the experience. Would and will forever recommend this venue to anyone thinking of getting married!

Whitney and Tom created the perfect setting for our September wedding, crafting a day that felt nothing short of enchanted. The venue was extremely spacious, with beautiful mountai...
ns surrounding the fields and lake. The gentle alpacas wandering nearby brought delight to every guest who met them. Their organization and care lifted the weight of planning from our shoulders, allowing us to simply enjoy each moment. Our day at Durrant Farms was everything we dreamed of and more; there is not a single thing we would change. The place holds a magic all its own, and we are endlessly grateful. Choose this venue if you are interested in planning an outdoor wedding or event.

My friends and I stayed here for my bachelorette weekend! We would recommend again and again! We already want to come back. Whitney had everything ready for us as soon as we arrive...
d, we had robes, towels, washcloths, slippers, even a makeup remover towel (super big bonus for a group of 5 girls) waiting for us! She sent us all the cottage information we needed prior to our arrival so we already had that and were ready to access the cottage as soon as we arrived. There were five of us that stayed and she had the air mattress that was super easy to use. We honestly were not crowded at all, we had plenty of room. The cottage was so cozy, had everything we needed. The fresh bread and eggs were delicious. The bed in the main bedroom was incredibly comfortable and the guest that slept on the Murphy bed said hers was comfortable as well! The farm is so beautiful! We loved seeing the alpacas/llamas. We took a ton of sunset pictures looking out over the alpaca/llama pasture and the views were perfect! We got to get kisses from Ralph, and selfies with a lot of the other boys. We got to feed them a lot of treats. We also utilized the front porch in the mornings and drank our coffee in the rocking chairs! Could not recommend enough!

Presley! This absolutely warmed our hearts 🥹💛 Thank you for capturing so many little det...
ails… from the robes and slippers to morning coffee on the porch. It makes us so happy to know you all felt comfy and cared for from the moment you arrived. Also, Ralph is thrilled to hear he made the selfie highlight reel 😄🦙 We’re so glad the views, the cottage, and the farm vibes helped make your bachelorette weekend everything you hoped for. You ladies were fun to host. Come back anytime!!

I planned my best friend’s bridal shower at Durrant Farms and it was everything. We booked the Brunch with Alpacas experience for 15 people and it turned out better than I could ha...
ve imagined. The setup in the pasture was beautiful—thoughtful decor, cozy tables, and the dreamiest view. And yes, the alpacas were 100% the stars of the show. We brought a few of our own brunch items to add to the spread, and the team was super flexible and easy to work with. It made the whole thing feel really personal and relaxed. The bride was glowing, the guests were smiling nonstop, and the pics? Chef’s kiss. If you're looking for something unique, outdoorsy, and fun—but still totally aesthetic—this is it. Would absolutely book again.

Tom and Whitney are excellent hosts, they are very attentive and responsive to needs. They are easy to communicate with and handle everything in a timely manner. Besides their abil...
ities as vendors, their land is well maintained and spacious, allowing any sized group to be comfortable throughout their event. There are additional experiences, such as the brunch with alpacas & llamas, that they are highly accommodating for as well. Would highly recommend Durrant farms for the hosts and the venue.
