If you book this venue, you will NOT be disappointed! The grounds, barn, and farmhouse are STUNNING. Our day was perfect in every way thanks to Sarah's professionalism, kindness, warmth, and attention to detail who went above and beyond as our day of coordinator creating insanely gorgeous florals and handling absolutely every detail. I truly cannot say enough fantastic things about our experience.
Where do I even start? There aren’t enough positive words that exist to describe how beautiful this venue is, and how lovely Sarah and her family are. We found Garden Gate randomly on our venue search three years ago. We have been to multiple barn venues, and nothing compared to this. From the moment we met Sarah, through our Covid postponement, and our (finally) wedding day, she was professional, gracious, and so so kind! We rented the farmhouse as well as the venue, and Sarah’s family home is just as beautiful as the venue. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We had multiple people tell us that this was the absolute most gorgeous venue they have ever seen-and we would agree!! I could go on and on and on about how wonderful Garden Gate is. Thank you Sarah and family from the bottom of our hearts. You made our wedding day so magical! We could never thank you enough!!! With love, Nikki & Brendan
I cannot begin to describe how perfect this venue was and how magical our wedding was on 8/27/2022. I was beyond impressed with the farmhouse, barn, yard, and ceremony site. Sarah and Rich have done a wonderful job maintaining and renovating their property. The gardens and grounds are beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop for our photographer to get those "rustic" farmhouse vibes toward the end of summer. The venue itself was very reasonably priced and you get the venue for the entire weekend, there is also the option for accommodations in the farmhouse. The getting-ready suite in the farmhouse was bright and light. Plenty of outlets and amenities for the party. Sarah also served as our day of coordinator and she helped with vendor coordination, logistics and design planning. It was so nice to have her there, and it look a lot of stress off us during the days leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. She coordinating everything and it was so seamless. Some highlights we loved were the farmhouse tables and chairs, the birch archway at the ceremony site, and the chickens. Our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thanks Sarah and Rich!
We worked with Sarah for our October 2021 wedding and still (almost a year later) can't stop talking about how perfect our experience was. We rented out the barn and farmhouse for the whole weekend so that our entire wedding party could stay with us. Sarah was unbelievably helpful and accommodating from the very beginning of our planning process through to the last moment of clean up. She even helped us cut the cake when we realized how difficult it was! At the end of the night she offered to help guests back to their cars - absolutely above and beyond! She also offers to make hand drawn signs. She made our timeline and other assorted signs and they all came out beautifully. The grounds were immaculate - you can tell her and her family take great pride in both their home and the beautiful venue. The grounds were spacious enough for our multiple food trucks while still allowing plenty of room for our guests to enjoy the scenery. The barn (which is stunning!) was spacious enough to accommodate both a sizable dance floor as well as tables for about 100 guests. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and unique the barn and ceremony site are! We are forever grateful to Garden Gate for hosting the wedding of our dreams!
Garden Gate is the perfect wedding venue! If you're looking for a rustic barn wedding, this is the place. The barn is beautiful, with lots of wood and big chandeliers. The ceremony site is gorgeous, and the lawn is filled with flowers and lights and a fire pit that was great to use once the sun went down. Sarah is so sweet and such a joy to work with. She also has tons of props and decor you can use when decorating. Being able to stay at the farmhouse on site and have access to the venue all weekend was so nice and made setting up a breeze. Plus the farmhouse is beautiful. So many guests complimented us on the venue! Would highly recommend!
Sarah is the most genuine and sweetest person and the venue is absolutely everything we wanted. our wedding was supposed to be August 2020 but had to be postponed due to covid. Sarah was so incredibly understanding and flexible with us in a very hard situation. we were able to get everything we originally wanted and even for the same date in 2021. we were determined to still get married this year and were searching for somewhere where we could have our immediate family members, and Sarah delivered!! she so generously let us use her property for a small, quick ceremony on the original date of our wedding. our big wedding with all our vendors is still planned for next year at the venue and though it sucks to wait another year, I know it will be perfect! I am so grateful for everything Sarah has done for us! if you are looking for a private, rustic venue, you truly can't go wrong! Sarah has gone so out of her way for us and truly makes us feel like we're her only couple! thank you so so much for everything and we can't wait until next year to do it all again!💕
I was MOG and we loved our experience at Garden Gate! The venue was perfect - true old barn vibe but clean and wedding-ready!
Sarah worked with us from the beginning to make sure all the pieces were covered, whether by the venue or not, so we knew exactly what we needed to do. She was patient with our many questions and emails as the date drew closer, and was an invaluable resource the day of. She had creative suggestions to make the best use of the spaces inside and out. Even though she was in the background, whenever we needed something she seemed to be right there!
Our guests enjoyed the amazing fall colors and the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor spaces during cocktail hour and reception. Take advantage of the fire pit for s'mores!
We had an amazing October wedding at Garden Gate! Our ceremony was held in the most peaceful wooded area behind the barn. The foliage was absolutely perfect and our guests raved about the vintage barn and grounds. The chandeliers in the barn provided perfect lighting and we added twinkle lights that were draped from the beams to match our invitation theme. Parking was great with valet service for our guests. We also loved being able to decorate the space two days in advance and having the entire farmhouse to get ready for our big day. My hairdresser loved having all of that space. Sarah and Rich were wonderful hosts. They provided last minute details and stayed in touch with our planner and vendors before, during, and after the event. The s'mores around the fire pit were a perfect touch. I would recommend Garden Gate to anyone looking for a perfect day on a lovely farm!
