Frutig Farms - The Valley

ils that make up the whole day, the Frutig Farms Team was awesome, understanding, patient & knowledgeable. They have a great system for the bar ordering that saved us money, a flow chart that made all of our decisions make sense, & the creative capacity to make any vision come true. The venue itself is spacious & compartmental which allowed for separate areas for dining, dancing, mingling & getting ready. The barn also had a spacious kitchen area which gave our food vendors the space & refrigeration needed to serve all 150 of our guests. The house PAs/mixing system were fantastic & kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They also have adorable donkeys out back, a beautiful stream by the outside wedding ceremony space & a really neat outside bar that our guests loved.

pplied the day of coordinator, tables, chairs, table clothes, wedding arbor, bartenders, rehearsal dinner site, and a variety of decor to pick from! We planned a majority of our wedding from Florida so their list of recommended vendors was extremely helpful! And Kaitlin, the day of coordinator, made everything so easy for us! They even had golf carts available for the bridesmaids and guests that needed it. Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was and how awesome it was to have the ceremony, dinner and reception all in the same place! Beyond thankful to the Frutigs and I can’t wait to see all the pictures!

ative and easy to work with throughout the planning process, especially Kaitlin, the venue coordinator, who patiently answered so many questions, coordinated all our vendors, and made sure everything ran smoothly during our wedding weekend.

dn't feel like we made any sacrifices when we had to move the ceremony inside due to rain. Ed was super communicative during the planning process and the day of coordinator, Kaitlin, was invaluable. She was detail-oriented, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was a success. You will not be disappointed with this venue!

n. From day 1 they were very communicative, flexible and helped to keep us calm. As we did not have a wedding planner, and this was a first for us both, we didn't know exactly what was needed. Kelly had lists and sat with us to walk through step by step what we needed to do, and what parts of the process they would manage (which was a LOT!). We are so glad we went Frutig Farms (The Valley for us) for our wedding. We still hear all the time, how beautiful the venue was - and we couldn't agree more. Thanks for everything!!!

ecially important while planning a wedding during COVID. They were always available to talk me through protocols and options and they let my high maintenance family come tour the venue multiple times. The venue itself was beautiful and was perfect for spreading out. If you are considering this venue, do yourself a favor and book it. I promise it is worth it.

t of preferred vendors was fantastic for finding great food, amazing photos, and a DJ that really knew the space. We were able to use different spots all over the property to create a ton of different experiences. Kelly and Kaitlin thought of details we never would have, and the whole experience was stress free and easy. We loved it, and our guests had a blast!

l that things worked out the way that they did! We were married at Misty Farm, which is absolutely STUNNING. Ed & Kelly were so incredibly kind and helpful as we transitioned our wedding to this new venue, and they executed our vision perfectly! The staff was very professional and helpful throughout the evening. The sailcloth tent was a stunning bonus to the already stunning grounds.. honestly you can't go wrong! We highly recommend Frutig Farms- you will not be disappointed!

I knew the wedding would be beautiful outside or inside. I did some decorating on the day of, but the venue really speaks for itself. My guests were all impressed at the professionalism of the staff and the flow of the ceremony, dinner, and reception/dancing. I definitely recommend!

ur event coordinator and she is stellar and really knows what she is doing, your in great hands. We couldn’t have had such an amazing evening without this gorgeous venue and all these wonderful people.

s can relax...from having a preferred vendor open house to assigning a specific person to take care of your wedding (Sam, you are the best!) there is no need for a special wedding planner. Scott and I received so many compliments. We would get married here over and over again if we could.

Everything was all I ever dreamed my wedding would be and more!

y were both extremely helpful a few months out, and also when the day got closer. Kelly is so knowledgeable and organized, she makes the rehearsal and day go so smoothly. They also hosted a vendor fair several months before the summer, so we were able to meet with and sample a variety of their preferred food vendors! It was a nice touch and made narrowing down caterers easy, too!

worked with Barb who was absolutely amazing! She worked tirelessly leading up to the weekend and throughout the weekend to make sure that our wedding went seamlessly. The venue is absolutely beautiful and because of Barb and her team, our wedding was magical. We utilized all aspects of the venue - setting up lawn games, packed dance floor, the new covered area in the back, and so much more. We’ve received such great compliments from our guests! Thank you so much!!!

to the day we picked all the stuff up after the wedding every interaction with anyone on staff made me happy we chose them for our wedding!

o the 'pinterest' prop room. Plus they have the most adorable mini-donkeys! Their groom's and bride's suites are perfect for getting ready. The Valley staff was kind, responsive, and professional. Our coordinator, Barb, was incredible and so helpful in ironing out all of our details and making our day run so smoothly. Our wedding vision was more vintage than rustic, and we had the flexibility to make it our own. Plus we loved having the venue for the whole weekend so that we could set everything up on Friday, and leave everything overnight so all we had to do on Saturday was show up. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Valley too, which was a great way for wedding party and families to get acclimated to the venue. We all felt very much at home!

dinators were Kelly and Barb and they made sure the day was seamless. Through out the process I was able to text Barb with any question I had and she got right back to me with the answer. They were able to direct our vendors day of so that we did not have to worry about any of those small details. Our day was PERFECT in every way and I cannot thank the staff at The Valley enough.

unique wedding venue I have ever been to”….We couldn’t have been happier from the rehearsal the night before to the day of our wedding. The absolute best part of renting this venue is that you have full access to the entire property (including the bridal suite) from Friday to Sunday. This time allowed us to decorate the barn on Friday (with the tremendous help of Barb) for our rehearsal dinner. Having the rehearsal dinner at the barn turned out to be a great decision because it allowed our bridal party and special guests to enjoy the property more. We did a combined “out of town dinner” so guests who drove a great distance, got to relax and soak in the breathtaking scenery. The day of the wedding we took “first look photos”. We were lucky enough to have tremendous weather, so we could utilize the beautiful property. We were able to take pictures by the water, in the barn, through the trails, walking up and down the hill (lots of pictures). The reception was beautifully lit by the lights on the tent. Our guests loved to be able to walk around, enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset! The guests also loved playing the outside games/sitting on the porch, and breathing in that fresh air! Another great thing about having the barn till Sunday was our guests got to leave their car overnight (instead of drinking and driving), and were able to pick up their car the next morning. Barb (Day of Coordinator) was a wonderful help during the entire process. Barb answered all of our emails in a timely fashion, and helped set up everything for the rehearsal dinner and our special day. Barb was very hesitant about me hiring an outside design company (Emerald City Design) for the reception, and seemed unwilling to work with them, at first. However, the day after the wedding she was absolutely thrilled with Emereald City's efficiency and professionalism. This venue allows you to truly create a unique wedding of your dreams. You get to decide EVERY detail of your big day! The costs do add up though, so try to budget accordingly! Thank you Barb, and Ed and Kelly Frutig

ers Ed & Kelly Frutig are amazing and Barb and the staff was top notch. Everyone who attended our wedding said it was the best Wedding they have ever been to. All of our Vendors came off the Frutig Farms Vendor list, and they all were amazing. Please not shy away from this beautiful property. We never had a bad expereince with payment or communication. Book it will be the best wedding venue ever!!!!

Cons: POOR customer service...we felt like a "number" in a pile of other couples getting married at Frutig Farms. On our first meeting was with Ed (one of the owners) to tour the barn. At the meeting time/place no one from Frutig was present, we had to call a few times and finally went to the Misty barn and found them touring another couple, we loved it and set a day anyhow. The second interaction was to drop off a deposit, we arranged a date and time, on arrival no one answered the door, we called and finally was told to leave this large check in the mailbox (which we did not feel comfortable doing). The final meeting with Barb (our wedding coordinator) prior to the wedding, we arrived at the barn and she was not there, we called and she sounded surprised about the meeting. She quickly drove over from the other barn/house for the meeting, only to find that she had no idea who she was meeting with, grabbing the wrong couple's information for the wrong wedding date, we had to wait while she drove back to get ours. To top it off, the day of the wedding my bridesmaids and I arrived to get ready at the venue and Ed (one of the owners) asked who I was and why I was parking in that spot, I had to remind him that I was the bride and was about to get married at the Valley. If you are willing to deal with disorganization and less-than personalized attention for your wedding, you will get a beautiful wedding at this venue

2017. We had visited the venue and decided to put a 7 day hold on the date of our choosing June 23, 2018 and emailed and received confirmation from co-owner stating my date (June 23, 2018) was reserved. Then when we returned to the venue to sign the contract and place a deposit, with both in-laws present, we were with an employee Barb who apparently has only done a handful of contracts (which we did not know). She was disorganized and not prepared for us. We did not mind because we were excited about the day and were okay with being patient. Then came the contract signing..... I filled out every page except one, which Barb filled out. One page, stated "On this day (blank) 30 days prior to your wedding, the following payments are due:" In which I filled out May 26th. My fiancé and I, along with Barb all signed this page. When finishing the contract Barb said she would leave to go make a copy and when returning she said the printer wasn't working and asked if she could mail it, which I said yes (my mistake). From that point on I never received a contract in the mail, even after calling to check in and remind her. Fast forward to July 2017 when I went to make a deposit and to my surprise they did not have my name listed on June 23 but May 26th... After crying and panicking for several days (waiting for the owner Kelly to get back to me when she could meet in person) we finally had a meeting. During the meeting after presenting her with the emails I had between her husband and I, the contract page that clearly stated the 30 days prior mark of May 26th, and explaining that her employee was at fault she continued to lecture me and state how "this will be a life lesson". She stated that I should've called again to check on the contract (while I have 3 jobs and I am in full-time nursing school). She also said that because the day was double booked she "asked" the other couple if they would move dates and they said no it would be "too hard" so I HAD TO MOVE. All this was infuriating because she acknowledged that I was first, placed my deposit first and that they made the mistake. So none of this made sense. She basically only gave me reasoning saying it would be too hard to have the other couple move because they are out of state (sorry but I did not care - no offense to the other couple). The only option I was left with was to keep Memorial weekend (which was not possible because MOH would not be able to attend) or to have the wedding Sunday on the 24th and I could come rehearse after the wedding ceremony on the 23rd (talk about a slap to the face). I told her that none of those options would work for me as travel arrangements for out of town family had been made, engagement photos taken which included my date, save the dates were purchased, etc... Since then all I have received was my deposit back stating "I could not have a professional relationship with them at they were cancelling our contract". PLEASE learn from this nightmare of a scenario and STAY AWAY. There are other gorgeous barns with people who care more about the money and business side of things. It is not worth the hassle and headache when you are trying to plan this magical event in your life.

as well as the outdoor ceremony site. The owners are wonderful and our event coordinator, Barb, was simply amazing! Our day was effortlessly spectacular thanks to this beautiful venue and the people who helped make it possible!
