My husband and I got married at the Bank Barn Sept 2024. We had such a magical day from the beautiful ceremony outside to the magical barn inside at night! The food was amazing and the staff was excellent!
Jessica was my coordinator and she was so helpful and did good at keep us on time but with some wiggle room!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day and wouldn’t change a thing.

Hi Makayla - It was truly an honor and a privilege to host you and your amazing family. Thank you for allowing us to be part of it!
Our Barn wedding at olde Homestead was an amazing day. Emily was great during the Rehearsal and Tara was terrific the day of. Our guests all told us how much they loved the food. We never felt stressed the day of and everything went as smoothly as it could have. Only two item to note. First, we paid extra for a liquor package and everyone noticed the pours to be extremely weak, for the money spent, you should feel you get your moneys worth. Second is that it was a little difficult to coordinate getting ready and getting to the venue on time for photos, as Olde Homestead does not allow you to set up or have access until 4 hours before the ceremony (we paid for extra time) every other venue we toured allowed you to have access to the venue as early as you need. However we looked past this as we loved the venue, and made it work. They did go through some staff changes with caused a few communication breakdowns during the planning, but everything got straightened out and the final product was amazing. I would absolutely recommend Olde Homestead to anyone getting ready to plan a wedding.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review Bradleigh! We’re thrilled to hear that your barn wedding at Olde Homestead was such a wonderful experience. It’s fantastic to know that Emily and Tara contributed to your day in such a positive way, ...
and we’re delighted that your guests enjoyed the food!
Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re so happy you chose Olde Homestead for your celebration. Congratulations again, and best wishes for your future together!
Our wedding at Olde Homestead was amazing! Besides the location being absolutely stunning, they make the planning process absolutely seamless and enjoyable. Jessica, our planner, was always available to answer any questions through the year leading up to our event! From the rehearsal to the day of to the clean-up, Jessica did an amazing job of guiding us and making sure everything went perfectly. She even made sure we got to enjoy our hors d’oeuvres by bringing us a platter and our signature drinks while we took photos! Our guests are still telling us how amazing the food was and how nice and accommodating the staff was! We highly recommend Olde Homestead for your special day!

Hi Megan - Thank you for the kind words and the great photos, we will be sure to share them with the staff.
Any questions?
If you are looking for a do-it-yourself venue, but want to pay a full-service price, look no further. If you want a stress free wedding, look somewhere else. Working with this venue was nothing short of a nightmare, from the start. My now husband and I were planning a multi-day wedding, with the plans of 2 of the events being held at Olde Homestead. The first employee we worked with, Leah, agreed that 300+ guests could fit in their Carriage House, and stated this on the contract that we all signed. Leah was no longer with the venue a few weeks later, and we were informed that in fact the contract was not accurate and that they could NOT accommodate 300+ people. This sent us back to the drawing board after losing precious time to find a new venue for our second night after we insisted that our contract was voided.
Fast forward to the Spring, where we met with Jill, our event coordinator, to do preliminary planning in April for our October wedding. Only then during this meeting did she begin to shed light on all of the things that the venue would NOT do for us on the day of the wedding, all of which Leah made seem like were included. We were also forced to sign a contract during this meeting that we could not bring in any outside planners or day of coordinators, despite the fact that they would not help with anything besides catering day of the wedding.
Come July, we were informed that Jill quit her position and that we would be assigned a new event coordinator, Jessica. I requested that the manager, Justin, set up a meeting for us with Jessica to discuss our wedding and to get to know her. We arrived early on a Sunday morning to meet Jessica, only to be greeted by Justin who informed us that Jessica would not be meeting with us, rather he would be meeting with us instead, who would not be at the wedding.
We only first met Jessica 3 weeks before our wedding where we reviewed our final plans. It was clear that she was being overworked and did not have the support she needed to properly execute her role. During this meeting we were informed that:
- They would only assist with decor that needed to be hung (after a long back and forth about the hanging of our neon sign with Justin). We were told “The family and bridal party have to do the set up of all decor”
- They would not assist in the clean up of the event decor
- They would not refrigerate our cakes the night prior because “someone may throw it out”
- When asked if we could pick up our cake the next morning after the wedding, the response was “you can carry that on the bus”
- They required us to keep a car on site at the venue for over 48 hours in order to ensure we didn’t inconvenience them by leaving our decor at the venue overnight to be picked up in the morning. ALL decor had to then be loaded into our car immediately after the wedding and parked in the parking lot overnight to be picked up in the morning
- When I asked if the groomsmen could have a few drinks while waiting during our first look the response was “You can open a tab”, when I replied that my husband would not have his wallet on the day of his wedding, I was told “You have apple pay, right? We accept that as well”
The day following our meeting I insisted on speaking with the manager, Justin, to which I expressed all of the above concerns to. His only response was “I understand how you can feel that way, we’ll keep that in mind for the future”. Offering absolutely NO solutions, and it was very obvious that he didn’t care about any of my concerns.
Luckily, we have an amazing support system of friends and family who rallied around us and ensured that everything was set up beautifully. Our family and friends also all assisted in deconstructing the event and packing everything back into our car immediately after the reception. It’s unfortunate because the venue is absolutely beautiful, but until the management gets an overhaul, they will continue to run this place into the ground. Take the lesson learned from my experience, stay far away from this venue if you want a hassle free wedding experience.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for providing feedback, as we are on a continuous quest for never ending improvement, this helps us learn. After reading your review it seems that your biggest concerns were with the planning aspect. Which is why making th...
e decision to change staffing is always such an important one; even when we strive to improve our services the change of who you are working with can be unsettling. As a whole your planning process was not as smooth as we would have liked. We did make the conscious decision to change staff after you booked your wedding in order to provide even better service moving forward, but that can create situations like this. As far as Jessica not making the first meeting and me being there instead, that was a tough call. She wasn't feeling well that morning and I wasn't sure if it would be better to postpone the meeting or for me to take the meeting myself... I took the meeting because we just changed coordinators for your wedding and I felt that was a better option. Obviously an unfortunate situation.
I do know your Event Manager Jessica did help you pack-up your items at the end of the night and was very grateful for your kind works thanking her and saying that your event was amazing. That is why she was so excited to send you links to give us a review and why this is somewhat surprising. Here is also part of an email correspondence from three days after your wedding:
"Hi Jessica,
Thank you again for all of your help throughout this process and the day of. We will certainly share photos one we receive them from our photography team."
I did receive your call asking for us to give your party free alcohol which I denied but that was the only concern you expressed to me.
For all brides and grooms out there. If you ever have concerns about your venue or a process you should feel free to contact them and express those concerns clearly before your wedding as that is the best way to ensure the smoothest possible planning experience.
All the best,
Justin N. Smith

Our wedding day was basically perfect. The weather was pristine and the landscape of Olde Homestead is beautiful. The planning process was relatively easy and Olde Homestead helped with the timing of certain decisions. The food was great; many of our guests made a point to comment on that. The staff was very helpful and made sure my husband and I had what we needed.
The only downside to Olde Homestead is that the venue needs to be cleaned up immediately after the wedding. You cannot leave anything behind to be picked up the next day.
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2024
Hi Catherine! Thank you for the awesome review. You were an amazing bride and we are blessed to have been part of your wedding.
My husband and I got married at Olde Homestead and it was everything we could have ever dreamed of! We chose the venue over a year in advance and the OHGC team was responsive throughout the entire planning process. Jill began supporting us with planning and then Jessica took over with planning and acting as our day of coordinator. The day went flawlessly and Jessica was able to execute everything with surgical precision! Jessica adapted things to fit our needs and made sure the entire team at the venue was on the same page. She also supported our bridal party by providing them with all the information they would need and making sure everyone knew their roles. It was so nice to be able to forget about planning and know Jessica had everything under control. On the day of, Danielle, one of the amazing members of the OHGC team, acted as our own personal server! She always made sure we had food and drinks in hand. She even alternated our water and drink intake. We quite literally were treated like royalty at OHGC. We couldn't be more grateful <3 Our family and friends were so complimentary of the staff and venue. Thank you!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2024
Thank you Colleen, you are royalty to us!
Our son's wedding was held in the Bank Barn on 2/24/24. I am the mother of the groom and sent this email to Jill the Senior Event Manager shortly after the wedding: (I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that you and your staff did an incredible job for our son's wedding this past Saturday. I was truly impressed with the service we received throughout the entire process. I was also really impressed how your staff handled the buffet. I had never seen service at a buffet like that where the server walks the line with the guest serving them. It really made the flow go so good and I didn't see any guests waiting in any lines. Your staff served that entire room super fast.
Now onto the food. Everything was amazing! The Korean Beef Short Ribs were so tender and flavorable. The Roast Pork Loin was such a large portion, juicy and flavorable. My husband and I both had the Short Ribs and Pork Loin and loved both. We thoroughly enjoyed all the items on the menu served. Our family also commented on how incredible the food was. Even the coffee was good too. I did not drink any alcohol that night so I wasn't at the bar at all. But my husband said the bar staff was exceptional, engaging and friendly. The venue.....oh the venue...... it was gorgeous. We were a bit nervous that the wedding moved from the waterfront to inside the Bank Barn where we were having the reception. But it pulled together so nicely. I was nervous about only having 1 hour to decorate after rehearsal. But we were able to get it done. Your staffs' collaboration in creating the perfect wedding day was truly appreciated. The wedding turned out to be beautiful and exactly what we were shooting for. Now onto you.....thank you for answering my emails when I pestered you about details I was worried about. You were always very responsive and gave me comfort in knowing you were on it. You kept everything on track that day. Your professionalism and expertise really shows. You were very attentive to the needs of everyone and the checking in to ensure we had what we needed and it was appreciated. Emily was also very helpful and also put our minds at ease. Thank you for keeping everyone on schedule and the flow moving nicely. Even the staff in the club house was amazing. I know it takes a lot of work to put these events together. I can only imagine how much pressure it could be to manage all that, the guests, and all the details that goes into it. I am grateful that you just let me do my thing with the decorating. I appreciated at the end of the night too when you had your staff break down the tables and put all the stuff on one table so it would be easy for us to pack it up. I just felt like I needed to just send you a message letting you know how vital you and your staff were to pull off this perfect wedding day for our son. Thank you and thank your staff. Jo-Anne Ehritz - Mother of the Groom
Olde Homestead is a gorgeous venue and the staff are so personable, responsive and attentive! Jill is amazing at what she does! She is so responsive and helped coordinate an amazing wedding day for us! The grounds are well kept and offer so many spots for photographs. The food was fantastic and the way they handle the buffet is impressive - they have one server per person to walk you through the buffet line. We had our ceremony and reception inside given we got married in December. I was worried that it would be disruptive when they had to move chairs from the ceremony to reception area but my guests said they moved the chairs in lighting speed and flawlessly! I do wish they would give you more time to set up and clean up, especially because you have to do most of the set up and clean up yourself. And it’s important to also know that they charge a 20% service charge fee and tax on that 20% service charge as well.
Overall, I highly recommend Olde Honestead for a beautiful rustic wedding any time of the year!!
My daughters wedding was held at Olde Homestead in the big, beautiful Barn a few weeks ago. The ceremony was outdoors overlooking the spectacular background of the lake and golf course. It was the perfect place for her fall wedding.
The entire experience from our first visit to the tasting and the day of the event exceeded our expectations. Everyone at Olde Homestead from our coordinator Jill, the cooks, the bartenders and the servers were professional, accommodating, polite and a joy to be around. They helped make her day outstanding!!! Every single guest had glowing things to say about the food, service and the venue!! Several guests told us it was the best food they ever had at any wedding venue!!
It was such a pleasure dealing wit( the event planner, finalizing the details and menu, table arrangements and all the details. Nothing was overlooked and with Jill’s help the day ran smoother than a Swiss watch! As a parent you want that perfect day for your your daughters wedding. The staff at Olde Homestead made sure her day was truly perfect!
Olde Homestead was the perfect venue for me and my husband! The views were spectacular, the venue is gorgeous and speaks for itself and the food/drinks were phenomenal. On top of all of that Jill, our wedding planner, made our day a dream. I did not have to worry about a single thing Jill handled all of it and was always one step ahead of me. I was so grateful for this because it gave me the opportunity to really enjoy my day and be present in the moment! She is fantastic!!!
Would recommend Olde Homestead to anyone looking to get married soon. Jill was so helpful in the whole planning process and made things so incredibly easy. Everyone who helped the day off was so wonderful and kind as well. It ended up raining on our wedding day which is not what we had planned but everything still turned out beautiful, everyone was so helpful and accommodating what making that transition to inside. We have been getting compliments from so many guests about the venue- especially about the food which was spectacular. We have no complaints, Olde Homestead is the best!
Our experience at Olde Homestead was absolutely amazing! As soon as we took our tour with Leah - we knew this was IT. She was very knowledgeable about all the packages and explained everything in detail. The staff during our food tasting was so welcoming and attentive. We knew our big day would be amazing. Our coordinator Jill was very timely in all of her communication leading up to the big day. Jill went above and beyond during our wedding day to ensure my fiancé and I were having a great time. All of our guests in attendance RAVED about the food the entire night. It was honestly so perfect and I would recommend this venue to everyone! The property is so beautiful and allows for so many photography opportunities. 10/10 all around!
I'm so glad we decided to go with Olde Homestead as our wedding venue. I can't compliment Jill enough as she was just amazing! Our guests, and us too of course, had the most amazing day! Our guests couldn't stop taking about how great the food was, how kind and helpful the staff were, and how beautiful the entire venue was. Everyone I encountered was so nice and so helpful from the second we got there to when we pulled out of the parking lot. The view is breath taking and everyone did such a great job to make the day so smooth, I never noticed a hiccup! We had an absolute blast!
We had the absolute best experience with Olde Homestead from the moment we booked with them up until our wedding day! They are so responsive with any questions you have and make sure you have the most perfect day! Our wedding day was stress free and went perfectly! Our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was as well, I would 100% recommend Olde Homestead for your wedding day!
I will never be able to say enough great things about Olde Homestead, from the staff, to the entire Venue its amazing. My wedding started with rain and I was a bit disappointed thinking the ceremony would have to be inside but they held out hope and the weathe actually cooperated and the outside ceremony site was perfect. We held our reception in the carriage house with around 50 guests and all we have heard since is how wonderful everything turned out. Our Wedding planners Jill and Carrie were exceptional, professional and an absolute joy to work with from the beginning of the planning to the day Carrie escorted me to the path leading to my walk down the aisle. Have I mentioned the food? If I have one regret for that day it's that I didn't eat enough of their delicious food. Get the tomato soup and grilled cheese appetizers they were the hit of the cocktail hour, but that's not to say that anything else there was less than a joy. Finally the Cigar Bar option was a perfect way to incorporate all the fans of Bourbon and Cigars that didn't want to dance the night away on the dance floor. I've been to alot of weddings and of course your own should be your favorite but Olde Homestead really made it great and I know we will be back for dinners in the club and hopefully some special moments in years to come.
We had such an amazing wedding at Olde Homestead! It is a beautiful venue (our ceremony was by the waterfront and reception was in the Barn). The food was delicious and many guests said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. We chose the Gypsy social package which created more of a cocktail party vibe and allowed our guests to try more delicious food!
Amazing venue, food, staff, everything! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
The venue is absolutely breathtakingly stunning! The whole experience of having our wedding with them was amazing! I cannot recommend this venue enough, the staff were all so sweet and attentive, especially Jill and Leah. Our guest almost a month later keep raving about the food and the views!
My husband and I joked about getting married at Olde Homestead years back before we were even engaged. Lucky for us, our dream came true and we got to experience the beautiful scenery and the most amazing staff/ wedding coordinator ever. They truly care about making your day everything you want it to be. I cannot say enough great things about the venue as a whole. From start to finish, we had nothing but amazing service. 10/10 would recommend having your wedding here.
Olde Homestead Golf Course was willing to work with us to stay within our budget and our smaller number of guests. Leah, our event coordinator went above and beyond to make our day even more special and less stressful than we could could have accomplished on our own. Our guests raved about the gorgeous view and the amazingly delicious food prepared by the executive chef. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our every need. We highly recommend this venue for any size event. Bonus: the food at the Conestoga Cafe is amazing; we enjoyed eating there when we went for our planning sessions.

We are so happy you enjoyed your wedding day with us. It was a pleasure getting to know you and Milt and we hope to see you soon in the Cafe.
Being born and raised in the Lehigh Valley, and being a golfer, Olde Homestead Golf Club was always a place that I thought was beautiful. My husband and I have golfed there many times over the years. When we started looking at venues, we wanted a barn and a golf course and OLGC provided us with both. When we went for a tour, we fell in love with the beauty of the barn, Leah's personality and just knew it was the place for us. A week later we put our deposit down and the planning begun. Leah and Jill were always very responsive to any emails and answered our questions quickly. When we looked at the venue in Nov 2021 and got the information package, the pricing was different when we booked our date of May 28, 2023. We were able to negotiate with Leah and Jill to honor the 2021 price guide when we paid our deposit which was a big plus. Jill was our coordinator and was very organized from our first meeting and all throughout the day of the wedding. We had a few last minute adjustments within the few weeks leading up to the wedding and Jill and Leah were very gracious in accommodating our requests and changes. The day of the wedding went by so quickly, but seeing our vision come to life in the beautiful venue was surreal. The actual wedding day was such a whirlwind. Jill helped me around the property when taking photos by holding my dress and driving us around in the golf cart. She also kept everything moving along perfectly even when we got off our timeline (which I didn't even realize until my mom told me days later). After the ceremony, Jill went to get us drinks and had a plate of Hors d'oeuvres waiting for us in the bridal suite. She even went to get us extra cheesesteak egg rolls when we ate them all so quickly because they were so delicious! We were told by many of our guests that the food was some of the best they have ever had at a wedding. We chose to have a buffet for our guests and it seemed to move quickly, even with our larger guest count. One complaint (by my mom) was that the first few tables that were called up received food that was cold, but when more pans were out for later tables it was warmer. So many of our guests complimented us on how beautiful and fun our wedding was and are still raving about their experience two weeks later! Thank you to Jill, Leah and the staff for making our wedding so magical and a day we won't forget!
We had our beautiful wedding at Olde Homestead on April 29, 2023. To say that it was a dream come true is an understatement. From the first time we toured the venue (we booked it that day!) to our wedding day, it was everything we imagined it to be.
We worked with Jill leading up to the day of, and then Leah was our day of coordinator. Leah made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of and even helped me carry my train while doing property photos. There was a hiccup with setup, where I was told I didn't need to do anything, but then during photos was asked to do it myself that got me a little stressed, but Leah stepped in and ensured it was all done.
It rained on our wedding day (more of a constant mist), which allowed for the most insanely beautiful property photos. Everyone has commented on how it looks like we got married in the English Countryside. We ended up moving our ceremony indoors, and it was maybe even more ideal and intimate than outside given our small guest list.
Everyone raved about the food, especially the passed hors d'oeuvres. We went with the Shire Package. We chose to stick with the buffet option, and while my husband and I did not have to stand in line (someone brought us our food - loved this), it looked like it went very smoothly even though none of my guests listened to the fact that they were going to call people up by table number haha.
My only gripe would be that we were assured our small guest count would not be a problem at all, but during one of our last planning calls, we were told that we needed to utilize every farm table they have, as they have no where to store extra tables. We made it work, but it was stressful to change my whole seating plan only a couple of weeks prior. This also cost us more money with our florist, as we had to add tables.
I would say that if you're like me, and do not want to have to worry about all the little wedding day details, definitely book Olde Homestead. We loved that it was all inclusive - food, drinks, tables, chairs, linens, ceremony space, bridal suite, etc. are all included in their very reasonable pricing. There's also an option for them to do the florals & decor.
Thank you Jill, Leah and Olde Homestead team for our beautiful day that we will remember forever - The Mazers
I can’t say enough about how many compliments we received about the Olde Homestead venue. It’s truly a gorgeous place and looks like a dream - both inside and out. Being fully transparent, there were a few parts of our planning experience that were not so pleasant. Our coordinator, Jill, we found to be quite unfriendly and off-putting most of the time. We booked our wedding two years in advance, and when we were promised that original pricing (at the time of booking) would be honored two years later, Jill gave us a hard time about the pricing. When we explained we were promised the original pricing on the booklet we were given and not the new, adjusted prices, she replied with, “Are you serious?” She also discouraged us from trying to do a simple signature cocktail at the bar and was not flexible in trying to assist us with basic set-up and break down. Perhaps it was a personality thing, but even the day before our wedding, she claimed she did not have in her notes that we had requested drapery on our wedding arbor (which we had confirmed multiple times). When we tried to address our frustrations, she continued to tell my husband to “tone it down” which really wasn’t appropriate or appreciated.
However, aside from our specific interactions with Jill, our wedding at Olde Homestead wound up being incredible, in all that we hoped for. The food is fantastic, staff was friendly and precise, and Leah wound up being our day-of coordinator and was an absolute ANGEL. Not only did Leah assist with our decor and personally walked me out to our first look in the pouring rain, but she made sure everyone knew their place, provided us with a covered golf cart, and made sure we ate our meals and had a cold drink in our hands the entire evening. Leah went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch, making our vision a reality. She was very thoughtful and anticipated our every need, even when the weather didn’t go according to plan. She was also very communicative throughout and shifted our experience into a very positive one. For that we are so grateful!
From the moment Josh and I (Kaycie) toured the venue we knew it was exactly where we were meant to get married. We could not thank Jill enough for all she has done for us. Jill was easy to communicate with and get ahold of, she answered all our questions, and she made the process very easy and stress free. She was there all day and made sure everything went smoothly. We are so grateful for you Jill and everyone at Olde Homestead. Our day was beautiful and exactly how we imagined. I could not be more thankful that you were there every step of the way. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. We had the best night of our life. Thank you so so much!!
- Kaycie and Josh Gurinko

ng Olde Homestead as your wedding venue.
Olde Homestead was a perfect location for our rustic wedding. It was an absolute dream inside the barn, perfectly lit with enough space for our 85 guests and accommodations for a special memorial table and helmet table at the entrance. We loved the outdoor space, and despite some crazy wind, we were able to get married overlooking the gorgeous golf course. What the venue lacks in bridal suite space, and the ability to pre-plan on site vendors any further than six months in advance was more than made up for by the gorgeous space, delicious food, and fireworks the venue offered. Our guests raved about the food and the amazing firework show. If you’re booking here, definitely recommend the fireworks they are Disney level. We did opt for “dancing on the tiles“ offered by our DJ, we do not recommend this, since the ventilation does not allow for the dry ice clouds to really settle on the dance floor. Additionally, just keep in mind a sparkler exit is not doable, simply given the flammability of the barn.

Hi Sasha. We are happy that you and Christopher and your guests enjoyed the venue. Your special dance was perfect, even if the clouds were not what you hoped for. We also love the fireworks photo you shared.
Thank you for selecting Olde Homeste...
ad as your wedding venue. We wish you both all good things in your future together.
Jill and Leah made our wedding day go so smooth and we had such a great day thanks to them! We planned our wedding in6 months and it was honestly so smooth with their help. They both went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day as much as possible and all of our guests had nothing but great things to say. Everything is so beautiful on the property and the food was perfect. The open bar was 100% worth it as well for us. Nothing but good things to say!
10000 stars for Leah, Jill and Olde Homestead!! We plan our wedding in 7 months and when I say it was a dream come true, I mean it!! We searched everywhere for a perfect barn. OHGC was it! Not only is the barn beautiful, they have gorgeous views, new bathrooms, a new bridal suite, and a large bar (hard to find in barns!!) Since our first visit at Olde Homestead, I had a vision. I want to say a HUGE thank you to Leah and Jill for seeing my vision and letting me run with it. Leah is a talent in herself and crafts a lot of the pieces you’ll see on the property. Together they created the most beautiful cocktail hour space for us and allowed me to decorate the main barn exactly the way I envisioned. We went with the 6 hour Morgan package, and if you’re thinking of splurging for it- DO IT. All of our guest raved about the amount of food! Jill was our main girl on wedding day and she did not disappoint! She was always there with anything we needed. Danielle in the catering department made sure to take special care of some of our older guest. These kind hearted people are not just workers, they truly show up on your wedding day ready to be there for you. We wish we could relive this day over and over and can not wait to go back to visit!! Thank you all SO much for being who you are and provide the best service. We will never forget you!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you and Ethan had such a wonderful experience with us. We are also looking forward to seeing you again. Many happy wishes for your future together.
Olde Homestead is a beautiful, rustic venue that was a perfect fit for our families that came from farming backgrounds while also having a modern flair with beautiful lighting, lounge space, patio and bridal room. The food is also outstanding – from the appetizers to the main meal, everything was hot and delicious. Our friends and family raved about how beautiful the venue was and also how it was arguably the best wedding food they’d ever eaten. Leading up to the wedding, we appreciated the prompt responses and impressive organization from our event planner, but sometimes felt that she was underwhelmed or slightly judgmental by the decisions we were making which was frustrating, but we acknowledged that everyone has different tastes so we didn’t say anything. On the day of our wedding, we felt that our event planner was slightly underdressed wearing a jean jacket to our wedding and we also didn’t appreciate her lack of flexibility throughout our event. We acknowledge that a timeline is important for the ceremony to start on time and to make sure that people are served food at an appropriate hour, but we also knew there was built in cushion time so we didn’t appreciate that we felt rushed at different periods and that she overrode one of the decisions we made during our event (whether we should go take photos with each dinner table or to have BM/MOH speeches first – so really nothing that would impact the staff so should have been our decision). Unfortunately, we also felt that some of our vendors were intimidated by her abrasive nature and not comfortable asking her questions since they were coming to us with questions that we know they’d normally go to an event manager with since we’ve interacted with them at events previously. Disappointingly at the end of the night, as things were getting cleaned up, I noticed that they were handling the centerpieces over in the corner of the barn, when I went to investigate, I found out that they had thrown out all of the flowers from my centerpieces – I was too tired at that point to say anything, but my mom had all intentions of taking them home, so it was quite disappointing to see such beautiful flowers going straight in the trash without someone even asking what we wanted done with them.
I can’t say enough good things about this venue. As someone who has extreme anxiety and didn’t want a big wedding and hates being the center of attention Olde Homestead made my wedding so easy. They have an awesome option for a non traditional wedding that takes a lot of pressure off. The views and the barn were unbelievable as well. In the end it was the staff that made my wedding. They were the best people to work with. They made my life so easy. They answered all of my questions in a timely fashion and were so genuine. I knew this was the right place for me the second my husband and I went to look at. I didn’t even want to look at other venues because I just knew Olde Homestead was the place for me.

You and Drew were such a pleasure to work with. We are glad your day was all you dreamed.
Choosing Olde Homestead was the easiest decision that we had made during our wedding planning process. From the first time we stepped foot on the property, we were blown away with how beautiful the property was, as well as the potential for beautiful photos. Jill, Leah and the rest of the staff did a wonderful job with executing our evening. Jill was with us every step of the way and was nothing but attentive and worried about our wants and needs as a couple! After the ceremony, Jill delivered hor d'oeuvres and drinks to my husband and I to ensure we had a chance to enjoy the hor d'oeuvres we chose and to make sure we didn't go hungry! We could not have had a better venue or staff to be a part of our wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2022
So so glad you had a wonderful wedding day. We wish you all the best for your future happiness.
Our experience at Olde Homestead was nothing short of perfect! Our guests couldn’t say enough good things about the food and venue. Jill was amazing to work with. She was easy to get in touch with and answered any questions we had. She made sure the day ran smoothly and went as planned. Truly was one of the most perfect days. The views at our ceremony were breathtaking, and couldn’t be happier with how all of the details turned out at the reception. I just can’t put into words how great our experience was! We created wonderful memories and cannot be happier with having our wedding at Olde Homestead! Thank you!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/09/2022
This is terrific news...we are so glad you were pleased with your wedding experience.
Enjoy all the memories and a happily ever after!
My fiancé and I had our wedding at Olde Homestead Golf Club Carriage House and it was everything we could have imagined and then some!!
Jill, Leah and their teams are absolutely phenomenal! I cannot say enough amazing things about these two individuals. From our very first tour with Leah to our BIG DAY with Leah AND Jill it was seamless, beautiful and exceeded all expectations.
Leah did all of our florals and decor for the ceremony and reception and she took my inspiration photos and literally made my vision a reality. When walking into the space for the first time I felt overcome with happiness that it was EXACTLY how I wanted it!
For the menu tasting (which all of the food is so delicious) and all of the day of coordination, Jill was so incredibly responsive and on every single detail! She made every aspect of the planning enjoyable and made sure we had all the information needed! She was such a pleasure to work with and we really felt like she took such amazing care of not only us throughout the process but our family and friends the day of the wedding!! We had a buffet and 98 guests were in attendance! All of the guests we spoke to raved about how delicious the food was!!
I highly recommend using Olde Homestead for your wedding venue, not only for its absolutely beautiful landscape, but the venues, the food, the atmosphere and especially the people that you will work with. The whole experience was perfect in every way and we could not be happier! Thank you Olde Homestead!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2022
Thank you Alison. We had such fun working with you and Dan. It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day. Wishing you guys a fairytale happy ever after!
Absolutely amazing venue! Not only is the setting beautiful, but the staff was so communicative and on top of everything! Leah and Jillian made the wedding planning journey so much less stressful! Jillian was right by my side during the wedding day and made me feel so special! The venue was so beautifully set up and the day was even more magical than I had ever expected or dreamed of!
I worked with Jill and Leah for my wedding. Leah helped me with my decor and she also did my flowers which were absolutely stunning ! I highly recommend her floral services ! Jill was a god send. She made every step of this process easy for us and when I was having any doubts or stress about anything she was right there to help me relax. The day of my wedding she was with me the entire time and having her brought me such comfort that everything was going to be perfect.
My wedding day was a fairytale and I owe it all to them !
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
Thank you Stephanie.You and Ross were a pleasure to work with. We are so glad your whole day was special. We love helping fairy tales happen.
I would give the Olde Homestead 11/10 stars if I could! Not only is the venue naturally absolutely stunning, but the staff goes out of their way to make sure everything on your big day goes according to plan and they really know how to make the bride and groom and their guests feel special.
Wedding planning can be extremely stressful but Jill, Leah, and the Olde Homestead team took all the stress out of the process so that we were able to enjoy every single step along the way. From making sure the menu was exactly what we wanted, to designing florals that were more perfect than we ever could have imagined, we always felt like they genuinely cared about us and wanted to make sure our day was perfect.
The food was incredible, hands down the best we’ve ever had at a wedding! Being the bride and groom you might think we are just biased, but we heard from every single guest how amazing the food was and how no other wedding venue can compare. Not only did the food taste great, but the dinner service was exceptionally well done. We did a buffet for 120 guests and no one could believe how quickly all guests had their food. Food was served faster than any sit down dinner or buffet event we have ever been to.
Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for our outdoor ceremony, but Jill and they rest of the team did not let that put a damper on our day. She drove us around outside in the rain, wind, and cold to make sure we got property photos because she knew how much it meant to us to have them. She was willing to stand outside in the pouring rain for our ceremony if that was what we wanted. When we made the last minute decision to move things inside, she turned the room around in a matter of minutes and set up a gorgeous ceremony space. None of our guests ever knew there was a last minute change and everyone was amazed at how gorgeous, cozy, and intimate the ceremony was.
During our photos we told Jill how excited we were for one specific dish during cocktail hour. When cocktail hour came around jill found us and brought us a personal plate of all of the appetizers and an entire tray of the beef tenderloin bruschetta that we had mentioned being excited for. We could clearly tell Jill was listening to everything we said and personally made sure to do her best to give us whatever we wanted to make sure we enjoyed our entire day.
I can’t say enough great things about the Olde Homestead venue and staff, and would highly recommend them to any bride and groom looking for amazing food, a beautiful location, and expert staff for an extremely fair price. If we had to plan our wedding all over again, we honestly would not change a single thing!
Response from the Vendor on 10/10/2022
Amanda, Stephen and their guests and family were such a pleasure. We thank you for your kind words and wish you all the happiness in the world.
Our wedding day at OHGC was PERFECT! Everything about the day was my favorite: from the beautiful outdoor ceremony site, the rustic elegant bank barn and the gorgeous scenery for photos (my photographer is still raving about the endless options for for photo sites)! Jill was our event manager and was amazing to work with…super responsive leading up to the wedding and she was there by my side the entire day/night making sure everything was flawless. The appetizers were a favorite amongst our guests and the entrees were delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!!
From the moment we stepped foot at the ceremony location, we knew Olde Homestead was our spot. The outdoor space was absolutely gorgeous, and the bank barn was an amazing space for the reception/cocktail hour as well. Our guests are still raving about to the food and view!
We could not be more grateful for Jill at Olde Homestead. It was truly the most beautiful and perfect day. Jill's help made it all possible and kept us calm!
As soon as we stepped into the barn, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. With the new terrace addition, it's even more beautiful and provides for an amazing outdoor space that still allows guests to enjoy the reception with a little more fresh air. The barn and ceremony space were stunning. The food and service were amazing, our guests loved the options (including the hors d'oeuvres). Olde Homestead is an amazing, all-inclusive space for ceremony and reception.
Jill and Leah were amazing to work with. As our event coordinator, Jill was super helpful and very responsive. She did everything possible to make our day special, including day-of: leading our photographer to beautiful locations on the property and assisting in bumps in the road (like when some of my seating chart cards were missing, Jill jumped in to assist guests in where to sit and nobody even noticed there was something missing). Definitely would recommend having your wedding here!
We just got married a week ago at Olde Homestead and I am so glad we chose this venue! Each space (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) were unique and beautiful. The food was hands down the best wedding food I have ever had--and I promise I am not being biased. Everything was fresh, and people couldn't stop talking about the chicken and waffles hors d'oeuvres. The string lights in the barn really set the mood for the reception. You get the bridal suite for four hours prior--so keep this in mind for getting ready, although we got ready at my parent's house down the road. Jill was super knowledgable and you can tell she has done countless weddings, and will be super helpful with venue questions and on the day of your wedding.
When we got engaged in September of 2020, we were unsure of where to begin as it all felt overwhelming. However, we were sure of a few things: my husband wanted great food and I wanted to be as stress-free as possible.
We toured many venues and none felt quite right for the small, intimate wedding we wanted to have. Then we toured Olde Homestead at the end of January. Even though it was the middle of winter, we could see the beautiful landscape around the two venues. Leah escorted us through both venues, answered all our questions, and provided us with ideas for a possible ceremony there. We knew within minutes that this is where we wanted to have our wedding.
In the months leading up to our wedding, Jill, the Senior Event Manager, helped us through so much, including tastings, floor layouts, and outlines for our big day. We also loved that Olde Homestead gave us options to customize our wedding, which helped when we were budgeting. Jill was thorough with helping us plan and I never felt that I was behind or missing information.
Our July wedding went perfectly. Jill was there throughout the entire event from ceremony to the end of the reception to make sure we were on-time and that everything went without a hitch. The food was absolutely amazing (our guests can't stop talking about the hors d'oeuvres) and kitchen event manager and their staff were fantastic. We were well taken care of; the staff always made sure we had a drink and made sure we were first to make our s'mores.
We are incredibly grateful for all the staff that supported us throughout our wedding. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Olde Homestead to any couple.
The venue was stunning and, overall, we had a great night but I caution against the Gypsy Social Hour package. We loved the idea of passed hors d'oeuvres all night long, and the tasting sold us on this concept after tasting many delicious dishes and not being able to choose just a handful (the chef knows what he’s doing), but the execution fell way short the night of the wedding. It was sold to us as being so plentiful but my guest overwhelming reported back that food was hard to come by and they were hungry - there is no sugar coating it. Because of this, my suggestion is to chose a different package because otherwise you won’t have any regrets.
Everything about our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Leah and Jill. They were so easy to work with and did everything they could to help our day go as smoothly and perfectly as possible! The rest of the staff that helped on the night of our wedding were amazing as well! The venue was absolutely beautiful-our guests were all in love with it! Leah did such a beautiful job with our flowers-we were over the moon with every detail!
The entire experience with Olde Homestead Golf Club was incredible. From our very first tour, to signing the contract, all the way through the planning, finalizing, and holding the event. Everyone we worked with was wonderful and helped in every way possible. Communication was clear and very responsive. Options were available for all budgets, and they were willing to make adjustments based on needs. We held our small, family-oriented, wedding in their Bank Barn, and they worked with us to have at the layout of our dreams! HIGHLY recommend this venue.
From our very first visit, we knew that Olde Homestead was the perfect place for our wedding. The barn was so charming with the perfect blend of rustic and chic. All of the staff members were extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was excellent! We had so many compliments on our wedding and how good all of the food was! Our wedding planner, Jill, made sure we got a plate of our appetizers, which I know doesn't always happen. There were so many personalized touches throughout the whole process that made our day run so smoothly. Jill was a rockstar, going above and beyond. She even braved the cold winter weather to make sure we had everything we needed during our photos. Jill, Thank you! I would highly recommend this venue and hope to have future events there.
Thank you again for making our day perfect!
Warmest Regards,
Stef and Tom
I have to rave about Jill first. I was a particular bride and she worked with me throughout the entire planning process to help me create my vision. She has great taste and I trusted her fully. On the day of the wedding- she is irreplaceable. She was my right hand lady- making sure we were on time, driving family members to the ceremony site, driving us around the property for pictures. She is also just a great person- nice, caring and passionate about her work. Cannot say enough great things about her!
The venue itself is gorgeous. We did the waterfront ceremony. We rented the barn chairs for our outdoor ceremony. The view was incredible and the weather was cooperative and I could not have asked for anything more from a ceremony standpoint. The cocktail hour was out on their new terrace/patio which is so cute. The outdoor bar set up is also really cool looking. Inside the great barn is gorgeous on its own. We used all farm tables so we didn’t have to use any round tables.
The appetizers were the best part of the food. All of the apps were delicious. We also did a late night slider bar which was a hit. We did family style dinner- we thought the entrees were okay. We did customized drinks which the bartenders crushed. We were also able to bring in local craft beers which we were stoked about.
Overall , would 10/10 get married here all over again!
Just like many newly engaged couples, my fiancé and I made a list of our top 4 venues to begin our search for our wedding ceremony/reception location. Olde Homestead Golf Club was at the top of my list as I always envisioned a barn wedding for myself. It did not take much to convince my fiancé that this was our venue! Both of our faces lit up and we fell in love and knew it was the one after our tour of the property with Leah. Two weeks later we put our deposit down and the planning begun. It was a two year planning process and it went slow yet fast at the same time. Leah made sure we felt at home and answered all of our questions with honesty. I'm very big on details and I get nervous when it comes time to hand over control but I was always reassured by Leah up until she handed the reins to Jill on the big day and absolutely everything was taken care of.
We were just married at OHGC three weekends ago (11/6/2021) and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went! From sunrise to sunset, it was perfect to us and our guests are still talking about it. Our wedding coordinator was Jill and she was the absolute best to work with in coordination with the Director of Hospitality, Leah. Jill was extremely competent, warm, timely and responsive. We had so many little questions trickling in that we were constantly asking her, and she was always quick and helpful with her responses (even at random hours of the later evening while at home with her family). The actual wedding day was such a whirlwind. All the emotions and feelings after much reflection have my husband and I speechless. Jill kept everything moving along perfectly even when we got off our timeline. She reassured me and made sure my husband and I were always taken care of first. For example, she brought a full plate of the Hors d'oeuvres to us with a beverage of choice while we were taking property photos. We honestly have nothing but great things to say about Jill, Leah and the venue. It was beyond our visions and captured our love in so many ways. We've had SO many people tell us how stunning the venue was, and many of who said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever been to! Another common compliment from our guests was how everything was all on-site and easy to move from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. We can't recommend this whole experience enough. All our expectations were met and then some.
After many attempts to plan our wedding during 20-21 we changed venues and were wowed by the olde homestead. The views ,food and the accommodations of the staff to plan our wedding in less then 2 months was worth the wait from prior failed attempts. We wish we had only gone here first. Our guests raved at the staffs friendliness and service of cocktail hour and all the food.
As soon as we got a tour of Olde Homestead Golf Club we fell in love and knew it was the one. Jill was wonderful to work with! She was extremely competent, warm, and responsive. We had so many little questions trickling in that we were constantly asking her, and she was always quick and helpful with her responses. The actual wedding day was such a whirlwind and she kept everything moving along perfectly without being pushy or obnoxious. She even brought a full plate of food to both me and my husband when we said that of course we hadn't eaten anything yet. We honestly have nothing but great things to say about Jill, and the venue itself was beyond gorgeous and perfect. We've had SO many people tell us how stunning the venue was, and many of whom said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever been to! We can't recommend this whole experience enough. Jill - thank you for EVERYTHING!!
We are so glad that we chose to have our wedding at Olde Homestead. Jill and team were so responsive and easy to work with. The planning process was a breeze and we felt like we were in good hands the whole time. I'm very big on details and I get nervous when it comes time to hand over control but on the big day absolutely everything was taken care of.
You will not be disappointed in booking your wedding at Olde Homestead! Jill, our assigned coordinator was absolutely amazing! She is very detail oriented and truly values your vision for your special day and will make it come to life! She was so helpful in answering all of our questions and accommodating special requests for guests such as wheelchairs, food, etc. She will provide you a sense of calmness on your wedding day through her kind words and her ability to keep the day going smoothly according to your timeline. It truly is an art and she has it mastered! We have received numerous compliments since our wedding day regarding the helpfulness of all staff members as well as the beautiful venue itself!
Our wedding at Olde Homestead was a dream. Working with Gina & Jill from Olde Homestead through planning was a great experience. They were both extremely communicative and responsive.
The ceremony site at the waterfront was beautiful. They had even suggested taking a group shot prior to recessing from the ceremony and it is by far one of my favorite pictures.
The food was amazing and I can't say enough about the barns. It was such a special place to have our reception and I could not have imagined it anywhere else. Gina was there day of and she worked through our timeline and helped keep us on track. Highly recommend both Gina and the venue!
Absolutely loved celebrating our special day here! Our original wedding day was May 2020, and while we still got married on our date with just immediate family, we postponed our reception twice. During that time, Olde Homestead ensured to communicate any changes and next steps clearly. They were very fair and accommodating in what was a difficult time for everyone.
In May 2021, we had a vow renewal & reception at the Bank Barn, and it could not have been more beautiful! Jill was our wedding coordinator, and didn’t miss a beat. She was so wonderful to work with throughout our 2 years. She was incredibly organized, wonderful communicator, and kept on top of all the small details on our day! We were planning to have our vow renewal ceremony outside on site, but the weather was forecasted for cold rain all weekend. Jill called the night before to discuss our options, in case I wanted to make the decision ahead of time to move the ceremony inside the Barn. She didn’t pressure me any way, but we ended up moving it inside, and we’re so happy we did! The Bank Barn was the reason we chose to have our day here, and we then got to spend more time in it! Everyone raved about the venue, and I loved how we were able to put our own unique touches on it. The staff we so accommodating to the homemade desserts my family made to put out & to the ice cream truck we booked to come. It was a long awaited celebration that not even the rain could dim! Couldnt recommend Olde Homestead enough!

Hi Courtney. We are so glad you enjoyed your big day. Rain or shine, it was a great time for all.
Our wedding was beautifully located at the Barn at Olde Homestead. We had a pretty good experience with the venue; however, time leniency would have been greatly appreciated which we didn't receive. The bridal party arrived at 12, a little early, and were surprisingly let in. Besides the bride believing "being early is better than being late", all vendors also had to arrive at 12:30 or after. I would have loved to have my hair and makeup done at the venue, but we weren't allowed in and we didn't have enough time if we started at 12:30 as our wedding began at 4:30. There were some concerns with extra things being done, and being charged too (so that was a little annoying) since our families spent so much already just on the wedding itself. There was a raffle event going on when both the bride and groom arrived, which was concerning as it was our wedding day and we didn't want any extra interruptions on our big day. The vendors eventually cleaned up, but it would have been nice to be given a heads up or they maybe just did the event on a different day or earlier in the day. Other than those things, we were happy with our services. Our coordinator was on top of things that day and made everything run smoothly. We prepared in advance for our wedding, which greatly helped us and the staff at Olde Homestead. Luckily, we didn't have to reschedule our wedding due to COVID either. We are grateful for that. The guests LOVED the food, and we got several compliments on the food we picked. So our compliments go out to the chef! The day flew by though! The bride misses it already.
My husband and I got married on July 11 at the Bank Barn. The barn and the property is beautiful. Jill has been awesome through it all. No question or email went on answered. She really listened to our ideas, made us feel at ease, and guided us through any decisions we had to make. The day of the wedding, Jill and Leah were super helpful in making sure everything was running smoothly. They help make the day absolutely perfect and stress free. So many friends and family members gave us compliments on the food and how amazing our choice of venue was. I highly recommend the Bank Barn for any couples seeking a rustic barn setting for their wedding.
Olde Homestead provided an amazing venue, with great staff especially Jill C and Leah. They were very quick to respond throughout the wedding planning process and were organized to another level! They made all our wedding visions become a reality along with being patient with us even while having to move our wedding date multiple times due to Covid. I would highly suggest extending your reception a full hour, its a must and well worth it. The food was delicious and would highly recommend the plated option. Also I recommend going on a weeknight or weekend for lunch or dinner and catch the bands at the gold club house so you can experience it and see if it is the vibe for you. It was for us! Thank you olde homestead! We appreciate the hard work that you put into our memorable day!
After visiting Olde Homestead in 2019, we knew we had found our perfect barn venue. Our original date was set for 2020, but due to the pandemic we had to reschedule. We could not be happier with how smooth rescheduling was – it made a hard decision that much easier!
Jill was our event manager and was helpful in every step of the process. She was extremely responsive to all my emails, provided numerous suggestions regarding details that helped pull the day together and all around made the planning process exciting. We had to make the decision to move our ceremony inside the barn the day of due to rain and Jill made this last-minute transition without a hitch.
The food was amazing, especially the appetizers at cocktail hour! The barn itself is a beautiful and creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Overall, our experience at Olde Homestead was excellent. We could not be happier with how our big day turned out!
While the venue was beautiful, and the food was incredible, not all the staff was stellar. Communication leading up to our wedding was sometimes difficult and took several days (or weeks) for them to respond to our questions. Seating charts were especially difficult, and we ended up making our own and submitting it due to communication lacking. Additionally, once the wedding was over (which we left well before out allotted time) the staff got nasty to our family members who helped with clean up, in what felt as if we were getting thrown to the curb and kicked out. They took the liberty of removing everything that was ours, and placing it on the patio, and even made us bring home trash. With that being said, despite some of the staff being difficult, other staff members were very helpful. More specifically Justin and Emily were beyond excellent, the place really is beautiful. The new patio is incredible and perfect for a cocktail hour.
I am one of the brides who had 3 rescheduled dates, and 6 weeks before my final date my original venue cancelled on us. Somehow, someway Olde Homestead had my date open and were AMAZING!!! With only having 6 weeks, it all came together perfectly with the help of Jill. She was prompt, on top of it, helped me figure everything out, and was a calming presence throughout the day! Everyone RAVED over the food, ceremony location, and the barn. It was an absolutely perfect day!!!!!!!!
The Olde Homestead was absolutely the best decision for our venue! Our guests could not stop raving about the food, the cocktail hour and main dishes could not have been better. From all the different areas on the grounds, the bridal suite, and the Bank Barn, there is so many amazing locations for photographs. The sunsets are unbelievable and make amazing backdrops for photos you will cherish forever. The staff was so kind, and Jill our event organizer truly made it the best day of our lives. She goes above a beyond to make sure every detail is exactly what you imagined, she takes all the stress out so brides can really enjoy their day! To any couples looking for a venue, THIS IS IT, you will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2020
Hi Stephanie. It was our pleasure. We all enjoyed your special day and what a beautiful bride! Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you, your family and guests had such a great time.
After looking at several places in the midst of a pandemic, the Olde Homestead Carriage House was the perfect place to have our small wedding. Leah and Jill were amazing to work with and handled all the changes happening up until the day of our wedding.
Location: Having an indoor and outdoor space available was great in the constantly changing weather. Thankfully our wedding fell on such a gorgeous day and we were able to get married outside. So many people who were at the livestream kept commenting on the beautiful setting. Don't be deterred that it's a golf course, it's unlike one that I have ever seen. It just looks like beautiful farm lands that my husband grew up loving.
Food: So good! The varieties and creativity were great. Food was one of the most important for me and so I was really glad to have the variations they offered.
Service: Everyone there was very kind and flexible and did whatever it took to make our day special. We are soo soo thankful to work with them
The moment we looked at Olde Homestead Golf Club, we knew that we had to have our wedding there. The grounds and bank barn are so beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Our day of coordinator Jill was so nice, attentive, and responsive to anything we needed. It was a crazy year to get married to say the least and throughout the whole process, Justin, Jill and Leah kept us informed and updated as soon as anything changed. We were so lucky to be able to keep our original date and the whole day was just so perfect and nothing felt amiss. The food was absolutely amazing and I even had guests comment and ask me about it! It truly was the best day ever and Jill and everyone at Olde Homestead made sure of it! I can't tell you how many of my guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and how beautiful everything was.

We are so happy you enjoyed your experience with us. Thank you. We wish you a happily ever after!
Jill was a pleasure to work with and nailed every detail of our wedding day down perfectly, the food is fantastic and the venue is gorgeous! We had the best day ever amongst a crazy year which forced us to change all of our plans in a few months time!! Seamless transition from our original plans to our plans with Olde Homestead, so glad we had our wedding with you! It was truly a dream come true.
