Our Farm

n furniture that exactly matched the aesthetic for our wedding. Moreover, from a logistics standpoint, the ability to use the many well-crafted benches for the ceremony cut down on the number of chairs we needed to set up and fit better into the natural environment of the venue. The altar area is a charming arc surrounded by flowers. We loved the idea of getting married outdoors, and luckily the weather was perfect. After the ceremony, Jimmy gave the kids in attendance horse rides and drove folks young and old around on a hayride. We hadn’t even planned on those activities, but offering them was the sort of warm gesture that we came to associate with the farmers, the Golubs. Overall, the Golubs were very welcoming of our family and friends. Jimmy was on-hand on and off throughout the days before the wedding and especially the day of, helping set up. (In fact, he helped us before the wedding to find the perfect local vendors and scope out exactly what support we’d need for the size of our guest list.) But now we must address the elephant in the room: in addition to the flower gardens, spacious barn, ceremony area, horses, and tractors, the farm also sports a working TREBUCHET! Jimmy allows couples who get married on the farm to use this fancier cousin of a catapult to launch celebratory fruit into the air and, a long parabolic arc later, right into the middle of a field, making quite the commemorative splat. Everyone got hype about the trebuchet, especially the kids. This was a really memorable aspect of the wedding. The Golubs definitely set the bar high for a beautiful, outdoor, kid-friendly wedding venue offering lots of activities. Given its scenic location, close proximity to Syracuse, and many amenities, we were also amazed by the very reasonable price of renting it out for the weekend. We can’t recommend Our Farm strongly enough. So many thanks to Jimmy and Janyne for your hospitality!

al. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell how much effort the Golubs put into making it stay that way. Jimmy and Janine go beyond what you can even imagine to make sure that your wedding is perfect. They were so accommodating and gave us plenty of time to make sure everything was perfect. When asked for advice or assistance, they were quick to respond! I would recommended Our Farm to anyone looking for their perfect wedding! We will forever cherish all the Golubs have done for us and our special day!

of weather we moved our ceremony inside the barn, which ended up working perfectly. If we could do it all over again I would not have changed a thing about where we got married. Thank you Jimmy for helping make our day amazing and special. best part is we will be going back during the fall for pumpkins and get to visit.

his venue!

o our taste. The venue owners, Jimmy and Janine, are very kind and went above and beyond to make our day special. When they noticed we brought lawn games for our wedding, they pulled out some more alongside. Boris, the trebuchet, surprisingly turned out to be a huge hit with our friends and family! People thought is was quite an amusing end to the evening. We held both ceremony and reception on the property. The ceremony was beautiful, with a small, auditorium-like seating arrangement of benches in front of the arbor. We, the bride and groom, walked out of the house, past the flowers, and down the aisle one at a time. It was quaint and very elegant. Unlike most other weddings, we used the barn, not as a dance floor, but instead for our dinner reception. With all the wooden tables and traditional/cultural decorations placed inside along with the beautiful lights on the ceiling and windows, the reception turned out to be immaculate. We loved that the barn could represent both elegance and our unique culture simultaneously. We highly recommend Our Farm to anyone looking for a small, homey, but rustic venue that will still be able to take on the personality and design you want for your dream wedding rather than (as in many other venues we looked at) imposing a cookie-cutter characteristic to your wedding day.

e flowers are gorgeous and the trebuchet was a huge hit. Jimmy brought the mini horse and donkey out which the kids simply loved. The setting allowed us to have lawn games out during cocktail hour which was also a huge hit. Jimmy and Jeanine - owners of Our Farm - are absolutely lovely and wonderful. If you are looking for the ideal, perfect outdoor based wedding, look no further and book Our Farm. I really cannot speak more highly of it.

animals were such a fun additional to our day, and our guests are still talking about how fun and unique the catapult was. Jimmy and his wife were so easy and pleasant to work with, and the entire planning process was smooth from start to finish.

ebuchet was so fun to use and see it action. The guests loved it. What a great idea that was. Thank you again for all of your help and the use of your beautiful property for us to be able to have and celebrate our wedding day.

res on the horse that we later used for table gifts and our guest love them! He made everything about the day so special and he puts his heart and soul into the venue. He is not just a wedding vendor, but now is a friend. Always wanting a farm venue, Jimmy’s place was perfect. You start your day getting ready in Jimmy’s parlor, then have photos by his beautiful gardens. He works closely with a local wedding planner and securing the vendors for everything was simple (tent, food, bar). We saved quite a bit as well working with the vendors individually and providing our own alcohol. There is so much to do on “the farm.” Our guests have fantastic shots with his happy horse, mini horse and donkey, in the gorgeous barn, cocktail wagons and near the sunflowers. Our guests are still talking about how unique and magical the day was and how they have never been to a farm wedding. We wanted guests to bring their children and there was so much for them to do, even with 24 children present, they were so occupied it didn’t feel like that many kids were there. It’s a beautiful special location and I couldn’t have asked for or wished for a better place. If you want to have an outdoors wedding please have your wedding here and don’t even consider another venue. • Video by PB &J • Intents events for tent • Wedding planner (Beth and Danielle) • Connie Decker cakes

e best! When cold and rainy weather came in, Jimmy was quick to help us provide the best experience for us and for our guests --we all had SO much fun here, rain or shine!! And the accommodations in the area are top notch which made it really easy for us to have a destination wedding. We're so thankful to have been able to get married here!

g and understanding. We decided to have a small wedding with only 8 guests this year and postpone the wedding reception until next July. They let us have the small wedding at Our Farm this year, no charge, and it was absolutely beautiful. And they helped set up a couple benches, connected us to Wi-Fi (an immediate family member Zoomed into the wedding because they couldn't travel), provided me a space to get ready, and were just so lovely and wonderful. I would highly recommend Our Farm.

h. The landscape was breathtaking and Jimmy was the best! He is fair and will do what it takes to make the day special. I will forever remember this day with a smile!

recommend this venue for your wedding, reception, or any other special occasion. They even brought out the horse to take pictures with us. What and unexpected but pleasant surprise! Everyone loved it!

m our first meeting to discuss the wedding to the day of the event and even after they were nothing but helpful. They gave us suggestions, opened up their home for the preparation, opened up their grounds days before the wedding so we could get it all ready for the big day. They were always willing to answer our question through out the process. They made our day that more special! I would highly recommend Our Farm to future brides and grooms.

hing for us. The price is amazing for what you get and our wedding turned out even better than we could have imagined. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue!! Our guests could not stop telling us how beautiful it was.

from the first appointment to the big day. He worked so hard to make our dream a reality. Jimmy makes you feel a part of his family and is so easy going and approachable. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding location. It gave us the best of both worlds, enjoying the incredible property and having the shelter of the beautiful barn. I feel so lucky to have found this venue. We made memories to last a lifetime, and much of that we owe to Jimmy and his beautiful farm. If you are considering this venue you would be crazy not to book right away. We love you Jimmy and Jeanine!!!

bout. If you want a family friendly, relaxed, rustic wedding where all your guests will be amazed and have a great time, look no further. Beth and Jimmy will walk you step by step to your wedding day and make sure everything is perfect. They understand that this only happens once in a lifetime and it shows. Thank you Jimmy!

ed smoothly. Janine's flowers were in their full glory, the horses and donkey were incredibly friendly, the trebuchet was awesome, and the whole vibe was so romantic. As we visited throughout the year, it felt like there was a new improvement every time. The farm has a lot of fun, rustic props that can be used too. Jimmy helped us move a lot around and make it absolutely perfect. 10/10 wish we could live it all over again and again!!

e needed. The property is gorgeous and all of our guests are still talking about how great Our Farm was! Our wedding was such a dream and we cannot imagine having it anywhere else!

anything possible to help you best achieve that. We had our ceremony outside and then used the rest of the outdoor space/barn for our reception. The guests raved over the beauty of the venue, the rustic/vintage feel, the games on the lawn, and the appearance of the farm animals! 10/10. I could not be any happier with the results of my wedding.

d Janine we knew we would have our wedding there. They are the nicest people, easy to work with, and so laid back. They treat you like family, not like your just another paying customer. Jimmy was always quick to respond to our questions and he was very helpful throughout our planning. The outside grounds are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained – there are so many great places to take pictures! We had our ceremony outside and used hay bales with wood boards that Our Farm had on site for seating. Yard games were set up for the guests! We used the barn for dancing! The barn has a wood floor and bathrooms. We loved being able to choose whatever vendors we wanted to use for things such as the music, dessert, catering, etc. Jimmy and Janine were very helpful with recommendations of different places people had used previously. There is also a trebuchet that is used to launch a watermelon or pumpkin (depending on the season) after the ceremony…need I say more?! Our wedding was perfect and we would not change a thing.

ride (for kids and adults!), the pumpkin trebuchet and lawn games. Jimmy, the owner, was totally up for everything and worked hard all day to keep the fun going. A few additional huge perks to this place as opposed to other DIY barn-type venues: clean, new bathrooms (mens, womens and a family bathroom), pretty new barn that requires minimal decoration (has fans, lights, and gas heaters), gorgeous and colorful gardens, mini horse and mini donkey!, convenient location (near enough to Syracuse for vendors, and to Cazenovia, which is a quaint little town guests will love - plenty of sweet B&Bs and historic hotels). I loved to be able to start setting up Wednesday/ Thursday. I also loved the sweet ceremony site, including the handmade arbor. There are a few drawbacks to this venue which are helpful to consider when planning a wedding: 1. There is not a lot of existing large furniture/ decor to use. Another few vintage tables, large barrels, etc. would have been really helpful as these are hard to supply and move yourself if you don't rent a truck. 2. The fact that you have to rent EVERYTHING - dishes, glassware, serveware, linens. This isn't as much a problem with the venue (they are upfront about this) as just something to consider - if you go with this venue, this will be a totally DIY venue. It was a lot more work and cost than I expected. The dishes cost more than the two tents and chairs! All in all, this is a great venue with many unique amenities. It was the perfect backdrop for our laid-back, family-friendly wedding and MANY guests told us this was the best wedding they'd ever attended! Jimmy and Janine will be lifelong friends and we are excited to pick our pumpkins at the farm this fall :)

to visit the venue and person and had a lovely afternoon conversation with them. Jimmy and Janine had many recommendations and suggestions that were super helpful (and saved us a lot of money!) including things that neither of us would have thought of. Working with them was very enjoyable and much more pleasant of an experience than any of our friends had. The venue itself is breath takingly beautiful. As beautiful as many of the pictures are on this site the photos just fail to do it justice. The grounds are very well taken care of and it’s obvious that Jimmy and Janine love their land. They are very accommodating and will work hard to get you what you want. With that said the barn is beautifully decorated and my Wife decided she didn’t want to add to it. Also note that the barn now has a wooden floor which is absolutely gorgeous. Jimmy is very prompt which is amazingly helpful especially with last minute details. The trebuchet is a fantastic addition and all of our guests really enjoyed it. My wife and I wouldn’t change anything about our wedding day.

farm had plenty of activities and places for everyone to spread out and enjoy at their own pace, and the trebuchet went over really well with our guests. Would definitely recommend!
