Where do we even begin? Farmstead is a hidden gem and was an absolute dream to work with in preparation to our wedding day, and blew away all of our expectations day-of. My fiance ...and I both grew up in Sussex County, and knew we wanted to get married close to home. When we toured Farmstead, it felt so right for us and we cancelled our remaining venue tours. It was the perfect combination of rustic and classic that we were looking for, and my fiance loves to golf so that was a plus too. From the very beginning, we were met with kindness from Andrew, and worked with the amazing Lindsey all throughout the planning process. They were above and beyond and accommodating to our details and our vision, to help us create a day so us. Day of, we had Noelle as our maitre’d and she was awesome. They set up all of our decor so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were served breakfast and mimosas getting ready in the bridal suite, and lunch after pictures before the ceremony. They were accommodating to our bridal party who had food allergies, and were so attentive to make sure we were all taken care of. Getting married in December, we chose to have our ceremony indoors in the Coach room and it was beautiful and cozy in front of the fireplace. We took all of our pictures outside before the ceremony and lucked out with a gorgeous fifty degree day in December, and the beautiful property offered great backgrounds. The staff quickly turned the coach room into our cocktail hour room while our guests were brought downstairs for champagne, and the cocktail hour food was incredible. So plentiful, so hot, and so delicious. The bacon wrapped scallops were amazing. We had two signature cocktails and they were so yummy, and fun to personalize. Our reception was even greater than cocktail hour, and the food was TO DIE FOR. The prime rib carving station we have had guests still call us weeks later saying how delicious it was, and the honey mustard glazed salmon was mouth-watering. You will not be disappointed, the food is awesome. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and just down-right amazing. Bob drove us on the golf carts around for pictures, and is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. And his dog, Duke. I wish we could do the whole day over again so we could work with these people again. Anyone looking for a hidden gem, rustic, and beautiful wedding venue in Sussex County, look no further.
