From the minute we saw Martha Clara, I knew the venue was perfect for what we were envisioning. We did not want your typical Long Island wedding, and believe me, it was not! The Northville Barn is BEAUTIFUL, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL (our pictu...res are so amazing because of the property). Originally we wanted to have a destination wedding, but we found a beautiful destination close to home.
The Barn - is beautifully kept, clean bathrooms, nice bridal suite and AWESOME groomsman's loft (it's a great spot for pictures!). The barn is air conditioned.
Staff - Molly...Can't say enough good things about her. She knows what she is doing! (That's for sure), She is there to answer all your questions that you have, small or big and responds to her email very quickly.
Prior to the wedding, we went for a wine tasting, where I brought my mom, my aunt and two friends. Without question, Molly brought us all around the property to show us where everything would be, followed by the tasting. (You do have to purchase all your wine through them, but they have such a great selection to choose from).
The day of, Molly and her staff were amazing. Regardless where you have your wedding, you should like the staff you are working with. If you like easy going, organized and funny - you will like Molly!
Our guests said the place, the staff, the decor, etc. was beautiful and it felt like such an intimate wedding (we had 160 people). We also had our ceremony on site, which was beautifully set up.
You do have to bring in all of your own vendors (but Molly has recommendations for everything!). We used Christopher Michael catering (see that review for more details) and they handled mostly all the major details.
We wouldn't have changed a thing.
