Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center

es and that was all thanks to Normandy Farm. From the very beginning in the planning process, we were constantly in contact with our event coordinator, Ashley. She responded very quickly, chatted on the phone whenever we needed, and always had the answers to our questions. I, as the bride, had a lot of requests and concerns and she handled it ALL! I was so stressed but to have Ashley in my corner made all the difference. She would keep us on track and be super transparent with us at all times. The weekend of the wedding was unreal. The day of, I had two lovely ladies assist us and our wedding party. Ruth and Heather constantly checked on us and took care of everything. Whatever we needed, they made sure we were looked after. They made the ceremony go extremely smooth no matter how hectic things got. The venue provided them for no cost, and it makes such a difference! They treated all of us like royalty and they made the wedding day that much more special. The FOOD! Our guests could not stop raving about it. Cocktail hour was insane!! My husband and I kept saying how we wish we could have been guests at our own wedding. Cocktail hour was stationed instead of butlered and honestly, if you have a choice, do stations!! Guests were able to get as much food as they wanted and there was no complaints about hunger whatsoever. We added the cheeseburger slider bar and that was one of the best decisions we could have made. The dinner was unreal. Absolutely everyone was in awe of the portion sizes and how yummy everything was. The food got served quickly and HOT which is a huge deal! The mini ice cream cones for dessert was a hit! Then after dinner we added the donut wall, pretzel wall, and popcorn bar. I can't even begin to explain how happy that made the guests.. we almost had to roll everyone out!! And if that's not enough, we hosted an after party with all sorts of late night bites. Chicken nuggets, pizza bites, tater tots, nachos, you name it. Our guests (and ourselves) were amazed by the quality, consistency and urgency that they provided. Also, the bar was amazing! The bartenders were slinging drinks all night and no one was empty handed. All in all, you cannot go wrong with Normandy Farm. My husband and I, our families and guests will remember that weekend forever. I wish it wasn't over and I wish I could relive it. You will not regret it!

on site which was a change of plans. JoAnne was extremely responsive and was wonderful to work with as we planned our day and Ruth and Ciara were just what we needed on the day of to keep organized. We would definitely recommend Normandy Farms!

I could not be happier. We even got compliments from so many guests. Thank you, Normandy, for everything! We are grateful for all you did for us! We will be sure to recommend Normandy to all of our family and friends!

nned the wedding in less than four months and every step was easy. Shout out to Heather for her assistance with all questions and quick responses. The venue's flexibility was unheard of and they are willing to help in any way possible. There are many people working together to make your event special, and special it was! Truly, Lee and I appreciate everything and we had an absolutely beautiful wedding day!

ured out. My wedding itself was phenomenal. Every single guest had nothing but positive things to say from the food to the staff. Heather, Ruth, and Marco were rockstars and helped me and the whole bridal party so much. Heather constantly made sure we had food if we wanted it, our drinks were never empty. I think his name was Jere, he was serving the food, and he also made sure everyone ate. He came up to me at one point with a plate of food in hand because he had noticed our best man hadn’t eaten yet and needed help finding him so he could eat. Aside from the awesome staff, the venue itself is so beautiful.

perfect. They were very helpful with dropping of all of my items for the wedding day, and they did a wonderful job at displaying my items. On the day of our wedding we had a maitre 'd and a bridal attendant. They were amazing.They even came outside when us girls were taking pictures to see if we needed anything. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Our guests even raved about the venue especially the food. The best thing was that the bridal suite was big enough for us girls to get ready, they even had bar stools too. and everyone lived that everything was in one place. the ceremony, reception, and the hotel rooms! If you want a rustic theme and all in one place have ur wedding here!

t away after our cocktail style wedding. The food was tremendous! We cannot thank this team enough for everything!

g when I was told one would find me 3 hours in advance. After that small blip everything was perfect! The bridal attendants took care of me and my husband all night, making sure we were fed and had drinks. Overall I would highly recommend!

he has been mentioned in other reviews) twice to address my concerns about my wedding and the pandemic. First time was told to call back in 2 months because other weddings were being prioritized. Fine. Called back 2 months later, and was withheld a vital piece of information that led me to cancel my wedding. Apparently if I rescheduled my wedding 1 month (are you kidding?) prior to my date vs 4 months, I could move to 2021 without extra fees incurring. I learned this after cancelling my wedding. The rescheduling fees I was quoted both at 6 months and 4 months out were THOUSANDS of dollars. I’m talking $3,000 at 4 months and $5,000 at 6 months. We were trying to reschedule because of a global pandemic, not because of some nebulous reason. Regardless of the fact that they omitted that tidbit of information that caused us to lose thousands across our vendors - they’re keeping half of the contract amount I already paid. No remorse, no apology for their mistake. Beware.

e Normandy Farms continued to make this heartbreaking process as seamless and smooth as possible. JoAnne’s thoughtful message the original day of our wedding reminded me we are not just dealing with a business who cares but people who are so sincere and kind. With all of the stories I hear about couples who had to reschedule their wedding, I feel so lucky we were booked at Normandy Farms.

h throughout this whole process! When we originally booked our wedding, we knew it would be the wedding of our dreams and I have no doubt it still will be on our new date!

ring this stressful time, especially our Event Coordinator, Heather! Heather was even responding to my calls and emails when she was off and was reassuring that everything would work out! Normandy seamlessly transitioned everything over to a later date for us! Heather even reaches out with a FB post that she had seen about reassuring couples who had to change their wedding date. I’m thankful for all Normandy has done so far and I can’t wait to celebrate with them later this year!

have to rush around and worry about the epidemic happening now. I would recommend Normandy farms to everyone. With everything going on they handled the situation very professionally and were very accommodating. Thank you all for what you did for us!

g and I am so grateful we chose Normandy. Extremely bummed we have to wait another year to celebrate but so happy we still get to have our wedding at Normandy next June.

wo, but possibly THREE postponements since. The entire staff, from sales, to wedding coordinator, to those controlling our room blocks, rehearsal dinner and after party, etc., have been timely, responsive, patient, and so accommodating. If our wedding is anything like the service we have been provided thus far in this disaster of a situation, it will be one for the books.

ngs to say about their time. We couldn't have picked a more fitting venue. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book a magical wedding weekend!

xcellent and the pastry chef outdid himself with the cake and the pies we ordered for our informal after party.

tely recommend this venue!

eautiful hotel and loved that every event was on property! We would recommend this venue to anyone.

saying it was the best they had ever seen. Having the outdoor space connected to the ballroom was perfect for our indoor-outdoor afternoon reception and allowed us to have fun playing lawn games and enjoying the sunshine. JoAnne was amazing, I don't know what we would have done without her. Ruth was so helpful as our maitre d' and made sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone at Normandy Farm really went above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing!

ully!) so during the cocktail hour a number of our guests were outside. If there had been rain and everyone needed to be inside, cocktail hour might have been a bit crowded in the area outside the ballroom. After our reception there was a bit of confusion where some of the staff from the reception sent our bridal party to the bar with some leftover beer & wine from the bridal suite. At first this was great, and a bartender was pouring drinks from those bottles into plastic cups. Eventually, another bartender independently decided this was a problem and started taking people's drinks and threatening to kick people out. He was extremely rude about the whole thing, which really put a damper on things for a number of our guests. This wasn't a huge deal, but it would have been nice if all of the staff was on the same page. Again, we were really happy with Normandy. We got countless compliments about the venue from our guests. If you choose Normandy Farm as your reception venue, you'll be sure to be happy with the decision!

erything went smoothly. The venue is BEAUTIFUL and everyone you work with knows what they are doing. I didn't have to worry about a thing, and even had people there to help me when I made mistakes! The tasting went well and we loved every option- so tough to choose! All of our guests LOVED cocktail hour and the entrees as well. JoAnne is AMAZING and so helpful. I don't know what we would have done without her. Our guests enjoyed their stay and loved the accommodations. I can't say enough about how wonderful our wedding day was and that is thanks to everyone at Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center. THANK YOU!

Ballroom was beautiful and the whole day was perfect!

vided any information I needed. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about how kind and helpful the staff at Normandy was during the cocktail hour and reception. Also, they raved about how delicious the food was! We would highly recommend Normandy Farms to anyone looking!

wedding planning!) and never once did she make me feel to be an annoyance. This would not have been so easy had it not been for Heather. After we did our taste testing, we were so excited for the food. There was SO MUCH provided and our guests raved about it. I would highly suggest a buffet, since our guests were able to pick and choose what entrees they wanted, which made for a great night! In addition, I had initially been concerned about time constraints during the buffet, but it was handled smoothly and efficiently and you could barely tell the difference from a standard sit down dinner! The drinks were also a huge hit. The bartenders received tons of compliments for their promptness and delicious drinks! We were very lucky that our wedding was taking place after all of the renovations were done. The rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable! I stayed in the Manor House the night before our wedding and it was the perfect set up for morning of pictures! Our ceremony took place outside in the Silos garden, and all of my wedding dreams came true. I had always wanted to get married outside, and it was absolutely perfect. The grounds are so well maintained and they had just started planting flowers, making it all the more beautiful! The hospitality suite was honestly gorgeous. We were able to fit our whole wedding party of about 20 people, plus some others, comfortably in this room. It was so fun seeing our guests recessing from the ceremony from the large bay window in this room and being able to wave to everyone – it was a nice added touch. We also loved that appetizers are served in this room. It made it very easy for everyone to stop and take a breather before heading to cocktail hour. Our reception was absolutely magical. Our room looked like something out of a fairytale and I cannot thank the team at Normandy enough for making all my wedding dreams come true! I worried that the Silos ballroom looked small whenever I would see it, but seeing my wedding in this room proved me 100% wrong. It was absolutely perfect! The nice part about Normandy is your cake comes with your package! We gave them a few pictures to work with of a unique, ombre styled cake, and they knocked it out of the park. The cake was also delicious and I am so excited we get to keep our top tier for our 1 year anniversary! Normandy is so smart with providing 2 team members to assist during the busiest day of your life. Our maitre’ de was on top of keeping us on schedule and my assistant was amazing at helping with my dress, making sure I was taken care of, and getting our gifts back to our room at the end of the night Overall, I cannot recommend Normandy enough for your wedding destination, nor can I thank everyone enough for making sure every single detail of our night was like a dream.

y smoothly, and our guests adored the rustic chic vibes of the venue as well as the food. I would 1000% recommend holding your wedding here!

uests were able to party at the bar on-site afterwards and stay at the hotel for the night. It was so easy & so beautiful!

our wedding coordinator and was so helpful and again answered any questions we had as we went through planning. The day of was completely flawless and our guests LOVED that the hotel was right on site. We ended up doing an after party at Farmer's Daughter and everyone thought it was a nice touch to end the night. We had a Friday night wedding, so our guests also enjoyed the hot breakfast on Saturday and the chance to recap the night with family near and far. A lot of them kept telling us throughout the night how great the venue was and we couldn't agree more. HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you Ashley, Stephanie, and the whole team at Normandy Farm!

y was more than we could have ever dreamed of. I cannot recommend Normandy enough.

touch with me especially as the time creeped up. Ashley was amazing always answering my crazy questions and emails within a couple of hours. Anyone who is looking for a place that they do not have to stress as much this is the place!

Bride, Groom and guests were taken care of. I grew up in the area and we did not look at any other venue, ONLY Normandy Farm. There’s no other venue that can provide everything (ceremony, reception, onsite hotel rooms, dining, etc.) and do it well. Thank you, Ashley and the entire Normandy Farm staff for making our day AMAZING!

and open to our needs. Working with Ashley as our coordinator was such a great fit. She provided many suggestions but also listened to our vision and helped us achieve it. A huge plus for us was having the ceremony, reception, and hotel all in one place. Food (including the cake) and alcohol were all part of the package. The cocktail hour was incredible. As the bride, I did a lot of greeting and chatting, but the bridal party had our own private room with many of the apps and drinks for us to "escape" to if needed. Normandy made life so easy when it came to coordinating with our band, photographer, and florist. We had 123 guests and opted to pay an additional low cost for a third bartender. Every single staff member was kind and attentive. Many wedding guests raved about that, the food, and the prompt bar service. We booked a fantastic Sunday brunch for guests that stayed the night, too. The spread was HUGE and perfect for the morning after! Many guests partied late at the Farmer's Daughter bar when the reception ended. I am so glad my husband and I went with Normandy. I would recommend it for a wedding or any event!

anyone looking to get married to go to Normandy Farm. We made a whole weekend of it thanks to them from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony/ reception to the after party and ending out the whole weekend with an epic Sunday brunch! 2nd best decision I ever made was to have my wedding there (first was to marry my husband there!).

celebration making our way to the Terrace’s outdoor bar for cocktails, sitting in comfy rocking chairs surrounding a huge fire pit. We enjoyed NF’s complimentary Saturday breakfast before preparations of the big day. The grounds at NF and BBCC are so beautiful and vast, the photographer had nearly unlimited backdrop options. As the day progressed we found ourselves in NF’s comfortable lobby welcoming guests spending the night. Our son and DIL had over 100 guests spend the night, many complimented their stays. The ceremony and reception were held at the Blue Bell Country Club. Complimentary shuttles transported guests across the street to the BBCC. There was a bridal suite stocked with food and drinks for the wedding party. The ceremony and cocktail hour, both held outside, were wonderful. Guests were able to enjoy gorgeous views complete with deer crossing the course as they sipped drinks. The reception, held in the Grand Ball room, was nothing short of spectacular. Compliments about the food, flowers (from the on-site florist Willow & Thistle), décor, and the band EBE’s LA Starz were abundant. Many guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended. After the reception it was back to NF for the after party. In the Dowry we had snacks which were a big hit after all the dancing at the reception. In the bar a DJ played until 2am. The weekend wrapped up with guests enjoying the Farmer’s Daughter’s famous Sunday brunch. It was nice being able to chat with guests in a relaxed setting. I could not more highly recommend Blue Bell Country Club and Normandy Farm. All the staff were beyond helpful and professional and helped make the day unforgettable. It really was the perfect wedding weekend!

gave us ample time to complete and hand it in. She was so sweet and very patient. It rained our our wedding day, but it was still perfe t even inside. I honestly dont have a single complaint! Ursula, was incredible too and super helpful the day of. Thank you NF for everything! We are so grateful we chose this venue.

have chosen a better venue! From the sales team, to our wedding coordinator Ashley, to our day-of staff (including the wonderful Rich & Ruth, our maitre'd and bridal attendant for the day), everyone was both completely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. The staff was completely accommodating to all of our requests, and helped to make our wedding day a dream come true. We highly recommend Normandy Farm to any couple looking for a venue for their special day! Megan & Miles, 07.21.18

ur event planner, Ashley was super friendly and attentive. She ensured each question was answered and always checked in throughout the planning process. Although I was alittle anxious as we got closer to the wedding, our drop off appointment quickly put me at ease. Ashley made sure to go through all the decorations and details one last time to ensure things we're perfect. The staff for the a tuam wedding was amazing! Not only were they super attentive and professional towards all our guests , but they were fun! My guests still tell me how great each server was. The food was amazing! Everything from cocktail hour to dessert was delicious. In my past experience, the dinners at weddings I've gone to are usually mediocre at best and often served Luke warm. At Normandy farm, everything was fresh out of the oven. I didn't realize my own dinner had a spicy sauce to it (my fault) and it was quickly replaced . The staff went above and beyond to ensure all our expectations were met and we're there to assist at every moment. We highly recommend Normandy Farm for your event!

dinner to our Sunday morning brunch, no detail was overlooked! Would definitely recommend.

ave impressed! We are still getting rave reviews on our cocktail hour, bar selection and food! Everything from start to finish was absolutely perfect, and Ashley, our coordinator helped reduce any anxiety throughout the planning process.

credible. The venue was the perfect setting for our romantic wedding. I wish we could relive this day all over again!

on and Shentell were the maître d’ and they were great! They made sure everything ran smoothly and that my husband and I actually got to sit down and eat.

shley, our wedding coordinator with all details until the final day. Ursula was our attendant on the day of and she made everything fabulously easy! We were never amiss of food or drinks the entire night! We highly recommend this venue and wish we could do it all over again.

I didn’t have to worry about a thing!! The staff was incredible - the food was amazing - the venue was everything I ever wanted for my wedding and SO MUCH MORE. We worked with Willow & Thistle for all of our floral arrangements and decor. Highly recommend- especially if everything’s taking place on site - they know the property and know what works. Not to mention they’re extremely talented. We got married in the Silos Ballroom which was beyond perfect. It rained all morning and all I wanted was to have the ceremony outside. We ended up making the call to have it indoors, the weather was just too risky. At first I was a little bummed, but then when I entered the room before the guests started to arrive I was blown away. It was like a fairytale! Not a chair out of place, everything was simply perfect. The wood beams, the amazing silos all just gives the room such a unique touch. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with such character, amazing food, super helpful and friendly staff - this is it. I’ll never ever forget our wedding day and the people & the place that helped make it so so so special!

was brand new. From the food to the hospitality we can not be happier. If you are looking for a rustic barn wedding this is absolutely the place 💙

is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a one stop shop wedding with having all amenities on site. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a wonderful time.

day. All of our guests were so impressed with the customer sevice, the ambiance and the food! We wish we could do it all over again!

m and novelty to the ballroom. Everyone at Normandy was so professional and courteous and they all went above and beyond to make our day extra special. Ashley, our event coordinator, made everything so easy throughout the process and she was sooooooo patient with me even when I probably asked her the same question a couple times lol! From the sales team, event coordinator, waitstaff, bridal attendant to the bartenders (I'm sure I'm missing some people) everyone made us and our guests feel completely taken care of. Some of the waitstaff even joined us on the dance floor at the end of the night, how fun! And the bridal suite, BEAUTIFUL! It seriously felt like a celebrity dressing room. It's just the complete package. All of our guests keep telling us that it was one of the best (if not the best) weddings they have been to. Thank you, Normandy Farm, for making our special day so magical.

Thanks to Normandy Farm and the BCCC, we were able to relax stress-free on our big day. They are affordable, the food is delicious and our guests were very pleased! I highly recommend them.

ger was our wedding coordinator and a really can't speak highly enough about her. I know that she probably has a ton of brides emailing her and calling her everyday but I never felt like I was an annoyance to her which was very nice. I also had the pleasure of working with Ursula and Karen on our wedding day. They were incredibly kind and attentive and made the day run very smoothly. The venue recently had a complete makeover/refresh last year and the venue is so updated and beautiful now. The outdoor photos we had were stunning. SO many wonderful spots for portraits. Highly recommend Normandy Farms-can't beat the hotel rooms being within stumbling distance of the reception!

were all so fabulous. Our guests raved about the food and cake. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully. We were extremely happy with our coordinator, JoAnne. She was fantastic! She was always so helpful and made wedding planning at Normandy so enjoyable. JoAnne is so personable and professional. We really enjoyed working with her. I couldn't give 5 stars because of the hotel aspect. We loved that our guests were able to have this option and we loved that it is soo nicely renovated in the main hotel. We wish the suites were renovated as well or at least have new carpets. The carpets in the suites were gross and showed in our professional pictures while getting ready for the wedding. Also, my mom asked the desk staff to have my suite cleaned up while the wedding was going on and they said that would be fine. When my husband and I returned from our wedding to the suite, it had not been touched. Another issue with the hotel was that there was a rude employee at the desk. When it was our wedding rehearsal, this employee tried telling us that our rehearsal was going to be held outside. It was a cold and windy day. I thought it was a joke. She gave me an attitude when she was telling me that we didn't have a room, even though I had planned our rehearsal 7 months in advance and even checked in with my coordinator to make sure everything was ready to go. Finally, after a half hour of waiting with our guests, the hotel found a conference room. When we were walking to the conference room, there were 5 empty conference rooms that would have easily accommodated us. Why would outside be an option when we planned the rehearsal months in advance and there were empty rooms available?

ng process, our coordinator, Ashley, was always available. She was so easy to work with and always answered our crazy questions. Normandy Farm is a very reputable wedding venue, so they know how to make everything as easy as possible for the bride and groom. We loved the food at the tasting, and it tasted even better on the day of the wedding! We loved that we got 12 passed appetizers during cocktail hour. All of our guests raved about how great everything was. Our day of attendant, Emily, was awesome! She always made sure we had a drink in our hands and accommodated all of our requests. We had an after party at the restaurant inside of the hotel, and that was a hit as well. One thing I will say is that the hotel aspect of the entire experience was slightly disappointing. The one major selling point for us was that this venue had a hotel on site so that none of our guests would have to worry about traveling. The hotel was booked on our wedding night almost a year before our wedding! We were unable to add any more rooms to our block which really didn't sit well with me since that was one of the main selling points for us. When it came time to checkin for our wedding, our room was not ready when we needed to check in, there was no full length mirror in the bridal suite (seriously?? What bride doesn't want to see herself in full on her wedding day?) and it was not easy having someone get one to us, and we overall felt like a burden rather than an important wedding party. Although these things are a shame, it did not effect our wedding day or our overall feelings about Normandy Farm. We are excited to visit and have dinner at The Farmer's Daughter and stay in the West Gatehouse for years to come on our anniversary!!

modating for every detail and they are truly PROs at hosting weddings. Facilities are beautiful, food was amazing and we really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Normandy!!

rk with. She was always easy to get in contact with, super responsive and very accommodating! She made sure we had everything planned - down to the last little details. Rich, Karen and Ursula went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make sure we were well taken care! We never had an empty glass! They also made sure all of our things made it to our suite at the end of the night. The entire staff that night were super professional and very attentive as well! The suite we stayed in was very spacious (I had almost 10 people getting hair and makeup done, as well as getting dressed in there!) Our guests only had great things to say about the venue, food and overall experience! We would highly recommend Normandy, and would not change a thing about how our day went!

to earth while still being slightly formal and elegant. Being a bride who was trying to plan a wedding 3 states away it wasn't possible to always be in the area, but JoAnne was amazing to work with in keeping us on track and getting things done in time. They were also super flexible when it came to the tasting and allowed us to do ours early during a weekend that my husband and I managed to take a long weekend to visit Normandy Farms. The food was absolutely amazing both during the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. They were also very accommodating with our cake and allowed us to do two different flavors and fillings on alternate tiers so that my husband and I could have the red velvet cake that we loved and other family members would still be able to have a vanilla cake and enjoy the celebration with us. They really cater to every need and desire that you have on the wedding day and the attendants were amazing with keeping us fed and drinks of choice in hand. Every tiny mishap that occurred was quickly and magically fixed from my train no longer bustling (safety pins came out of no where) to calming nerves before the ceremony and making sure that you get the time to eat during dinner when everyone else wants to start dancing. It was also really nice that since we had so many friends and family from out of state (we had 22 states represented at our wedding!!) that the bar was open after the wedding reception ended so that we could all continue celebrating and enjoying ourselves. The Carriage suites where we stayed the night before the wedding we spacious and gorgeous to take photos the next morning (highly recommend getting one of the suites to get hair and makeup and getting ready photos the next day). The suite that we stayed in the night of the wedding was also gorgeous and they even provided a small snack tray for that night. We absolutely loved every detail of having our wedding here and the process of planning was so smooth that I didn't have to worry about a thing, if we could do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate to have it at Normandy Farms again!!!

process. My bridal attendant, Ursula, was the best; she was helpful, attentive, and so kind throughout the day. The maitre d's, wait staff, and bartenders helped to make the event run smoothly--the food, drinks, and service were wonderful. The grand ballroom looked beautiful and was everything we had hoped for. It was such an amazing day, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We have nothing but positive things to share!

m for me and husband. Also room did not have a fridge! I was hoping/looking forward to cold water after wedding. Thankfully I brought my own!!! So if you do decide to spend the night pack your own drinks and don't expect a special night with your new husband.

ated and in-tune with current style. Everything was a bit outdated and musty before, but the renovation is fantastic and gives it a nice clean makeover without losing the historic touch. - Our pre-wedding coordinator, Heather, was awesome! No matter the issue, she handled everything so well and was so understanding. Every detail I asked for she was able to accommodate. - Everything on site. Ceremony, reception, after party (DJ until 2am on Saturdays at the hotel bar), and hotel. This was the main reason we booked the venue. - Day-of maitre d and bridal attendant were buzzing around at all times during the ceremony and reception to make sure everything was going smoothly. - Food was awesome. We went with highest-tiered entrees and added on a few things and everything was fabulous. Just as good as the tasting even in mass quantities. Plus the cake was delicious!! Cons: - Dealing with the hotel side in general. It seemed like communication and efficiency was really lacking. I know they're swamped every weekend for weddings but it just never seemed like anyone was on their A-game. - As I said before, we booked the venue BECAUSE it had an on-site hotel. They didn't tell we likely would not receive enough rooms for all of our guests. We ended up having to book a second hotel and paying a ton for a shuttle. This was by far my #1 complaint. They will not give you enough rooms in a block for all of your guests. - Other little hotel details. Lost a bridesmaid's reservation for one. I've also called about 8 times in regards to jewelry I might have left there, still haven't gotten a yes or no as to if they found it. - Those horribly ugly plastic chairs for outdoor ceremonies. Holy moly those need to go.

ion was planned and went off with no problems. Everyone had a great time and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

gorgeous, the food is delicious and the rooms are great. I would 100% recommend Normandy to any bride-to-be!

e sure we got everything & it was all perfect! Our bridal attendant Christina and the matr'd were wonderful as well! They made sure we were okay, did anything we asked, catered to any need we had, and ensured we had a good time. They really made it possible to enjoy everything and eat, drink, and party too! They kept the night flowing perfectly! Now the reception was seriously the best reception I had ever been to and many of our guests have said the same thing. The general feedback we've gotten is that the space was beautiful, the food was amazing, the signature drinks were delicious, the staff were friendly & made sure everyone was having fun, they loved how everything was in one spot, and that the party was top of the line. People are still coming up and telling us about how good of a time they had nearly 3 weeks later. I cannot thank the team at Normandy Farm enough for making sure we had the reception of our dreams! We worked with them for about 26 months to plan everything, and it was truly amazing. I highly recommend this venue! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

the bride and was completely uncooperative. There was 24 total in the wedding party and all needed to be seated at the head table. Previous discussions with Normandy staff said it would "not be a problem". But Heather said it couldn't be done and she stuck with that until 10 days before the event when she finally relented. There were other issues with her as well. The frustration and anxiety forced us to hire an outside wedding planner. The hotel is beautiful and clean, beds are very comfy. But, there is NO refrigerator or microwave. Also, booking the rooms online did not work so we had to call to book and that was not easy. We did however get to check-in early which was a real plus. Hotel staff was very efficient. All in all, I would recommend Normandy. A beautiful venue for both ceremony and reception. A great hotel. And service was spot-on.

ive and helpful with all of our questions. All the people we worked with at the venue on the day of were wonderful. I would absolutely recommend using this venue, especially if you want an "all-in-one" venue - they made everything so easy, and that was exactly what we were looking for. Perfect day!

tup they accommodated indoors. Everyone is still ranting and raving about how amazing the night was. We wouldn't have wanted our wedding any where else but Normandy Farms!

was yummy (a little late being served), but everyone was having a good time! NF puts on a wonderful wedding reception!

ime we toured the venue to the day after the wedding, the entire process was easy. The staff and our coordinator, JoAnne, made the planning worry-free even for this organized bride. All of our questions were answered promptly and we were notified of all due dates well in advance. They could not have been any more helpful. Our tasting was exceptional and, somehow, the food tasted even better on our wedding day. The array of hors d'oeuvres (12) and meal choices were incredible. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the Farmer's Daughter, the restaurant/bar in NF. Everyone LOVED the food. The bridal party and groom's party stayed in separate suites the night of the rehearsal on the property. The boys stayed in the Manor House while the girls stayed in the Carriage House. The rooms were pristine and spacious. We even had our hair and makeup done in the suite! The day of, our attendants and maitre'd were beyond attentive. We had food, champagne, wine, and beer waiting for us in the beautiful bridal suite before the ceremony while the boys got to hang out in the bar. Our attendants also made sure my husband and I didn't cross paths (we didn't want to see one another before the ceremony). After the ceremony, we had hot hors d'oeuvres and more drinks waiting for us in the suite. Fast forward to the reception and the space looked beautiful. My husband and I didn't have to ask for one thing. Our choice of drink was always in our hand and our attendants made sure we took the time to eat. They were truly amazing and excel in what they do. We have quite the party group so the fact that The Farmer's Daughter has a live DJ on Saturday nights was another selling point for us. The party left the reception and went right to the bar to enjoy more drinks and dancing. When my husband and I got to our beautiful (complimentary) suite, all of our gifts and decor were in the room. We honestly did not have to lift a finger the entire night. Thank you, Normandy Farm, for a truly magical, out of this world experience. We will never forget it! Alivya & Phil Jacobson

ssured, no attention to detail, etc. My experience was the exact opposite. We worked closely with Ashley regarding the details of our day, and she always responded quickly and with more than enough detail. I cannot say enough positive things about Ashley as she helped put our vision together for our big day. We had our ceremony on site, and the day of, the rain was holding off until our ceremony time. Allyson and her team had a plan in place, which kept me calm and didn't put any additional stress on me. We were able to get married outside thankfully! We were in the Silos Ballroom for our reception, which was the perfect size for our 125 person wedding (holds up to 160 total). The room was beautiful and the staff was beyond attentive. My husband and I were taken care of all night, including ensuring we had food and drink (another horror story you often hear of), and Christine went above and beyond to make sure that we had a positive experience. We continue to get compliments two weeks out about how seamless the entire day was. If you're looking for a place where you can have your ceremony, reception, after party, and a place for guests to stay, this is the best place for you. We were really focused on our guests experiences, and we've continued to hear that our guests were really able to enjoy themselves because they didn't have to worry about getting from one place to the next. Also, having Tyler Boye Photography and Willow and Thistle on site, but not required to use, was a life saver for me. I didn't have to stress about anyone not showing up or knowing where to go, these services were familiar and comfortable with the venue, it was one less thing for the busy bride to worry about.

g to select Normandy Farm Grand Ballroom as our venue for our March 2017 reception and overnight accommodations, we gave our guests the best experience possible. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was exactly what we had in mind. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about their meals, we didn’t hear one complaint! Our staff for the evening were also top notch. We were paired with two of Normandy’s best, Karen and Ursula. As soon as we arrived at the venue, Karen and Ursula made us feel at home and communicated what to expect and when throughout the entire evening. They also took care of both of our parents, Ursula made sure they always had a full glass of wine or beer. The entire planning process was very smooth. Working with Brandy with the package and pricing, Heather and Stephanie for the day of logistics was fantastic and stress free. They made the entire experience relaxing and budget friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and experience. If your dream wedding is a rustic atmosphere with a superb staff with great hotel accommodations, look no further, you found it all with Normandy Farm Grand Ballroom!
