St Joe Farm

staff. St Joe Farm was the PERFECT location for our reception following our wedding at the Basilica on Notre Dame campus. The history of the farm ties in so beautifully with the story of Notre Dame and everyone was blown away by the beauty of the land surrounding the barn in addition to the barn itself! We had a blast!! My whole family was able to stay at the farm too which could not have been more convenient for us coming from Boston. All my bridesmaids got ready with us there on the morning of our wedding, too (so much fun!) I wouldn’t have changed a thing about the entire experience. It was absolutely perfect, and my husband and I are so grateful to all at St Joe Farm who made such great efforts to help our dream wedding reception become a reality. Do not look any further and book this venue today!!

attended. The food was very good as well. All and all it was a wonderful experience.

moothly. The property is absolutely breathtaking and has so many resources available to a bride and groom. We utilized just about everything the farm had to offer and our guests had a blast on the big day. For the rehearsal dinner we rented out the barn loft and the space below to comfortably host 60 of our closest family and friends. The space has a great modern feel to it that contrasts well with the farm aesthetic of the property. On the wedding day the bride and bridesmaids comfortably got ready in the Loft and had a great experience. I was in the grooms lounge watching the game and enjoying food and drink with my 8 groomsmen comfortably. The photographer’s had a field day for the first look and wedding party pictures with all the rustic buildings and beautiful trees as a backdrop. We held the ceremony out by the large tree behind the event barn. The landscaping was flawless and the ceremony looked beautiful. After the ceremony we leveraged the round barn for cocktail hour. Our 225 guests were able to comfortably enjoy cocktails inside and outside the round barn where we our string quartet performed. The real foundation and most beautiful part of the property is the massive event barn. The barn was large enough to hold our 225 people, 2 bars and a large stage with a dance floor. It was plenty of space for our band and our guests to dance for hours. The barn also has a bridal suite and two large bathrooms, it is quite the impressive structure. We got married on a warm June day and the barn kept cool throughout the evening. We leveraged Navarre catering for dinner and drinks at the reception and they delivered fantastically. The food was delicious and the service was 5 star quality, absolutely amazing. My wife and I are from Chicago and we looked at 40+ venues before settling on St. Joe Farm, we made the right choice. St. Joe Farm was the absolute perfect venue for my wedding day.

manager made my daughter's wedding smooth and effortless. From the planning stage to the close of the wedding reception they were there. I can not recommend this venue enough if you are planning a wedding.

sy to see how much care and dedication was put into making our big day so amazing. This is so important on a day that can be filled with stress and worry of mistakes and shortfalls. At St. Joe Farm, we had none of this. The staff was kind, attentive, understanding, and accommodating from top to bottom. The food was delicious, drinks served quickly, and the venue was decorated beautifully. It is certainly a time that we and our guests will remember. We would recommend the gorgeous St. Joe Farm venue to any person looking to get married in the Greater South Bend area. Furthermore, we’d extend our contact information to any considering party to answer questions and promote this terrific experience. Thank you for working so diligently to make our day everything it is supposed to be. Molly & Cathy did a phenomenal job at making sure every detail of the wedding went perfect. The additional services and decorations that they offer are beautiful! We would recommend using the Stable for rehearsal dinner and renting out the Loft for the weekend. We got so many compliments on the entire venue!

e story loft, which we had our whole wedding party stay at the night before the wedding (we rented it for the whole weekend and also used it to open presents with our family the morning after the wedding). We used the octagonal barn for our cocktail hour and had a gorgeous ceremony outside under the big tree. We had multiple guests tell us that it was the most beautiful reception space they had seen and having everything at the same location made it convenient for our friends and family. St. Joe Farms offers relentless support for a stressed bride who has no idea what she's doing :) They go above and beyond to make sure everything is organized ahead of time and are always helpful when you have questions or feel lost. I couldn't imagine celebrating the best day of our lives anywhere else! Highly, highly, highly recommend!

ut they have a staff that do everything they can to provide you with the best experience possible. I have worked with Molly and her team multiple times and am always reminded of how much I enjoy shooting with them with each wedding. As a professional in the industry I can't recommend them enough. Go check out St Joe Farm and see if they are the right fit for you and your wedding!

ng almost! It was amazing! And it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The grounds and the staff make it 100% worth it! Loved every aspect of St Joe Farm!

not imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Our ceremony and reception was very personalized and everyone worked to meet our needs perfectly. We had a ceremony outside by the Elm Tree and everything flowed perfectly. Cocktail hour was right next to the ceremony in the Round Barn and it was absolutely beautiful. The Event Barn is magnificent enough that I hardly used any decor. I wanted a simple look and even with that, it still looked like a million bucks! If you are looking for a venue to have the freedom for a non-traditional ceremony and reception, St. Joe Farm is the place for you! We are forever grateful for all the vendors and staff. The food tasted amazing and Cafe Navarre worked very hard to stay within our budget. The farm will always have a close place in our hearts and we cannot rave about it enough!

is absolutely breathtaking as you can see from the pictures and all our guests were completely blown away. It comfortably sat our 220 guests with plenty of room for a full band stage, two bars and dance floor. Navarre catered the dinner and cocktail hour and did such a fantastic job. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was and their staff was super attentive, professional and on top of everything. We used 6 of the St. Joes locations which made the day super convenient for us and our guests. Our rehearsal dinner was set in the Stables which is perfectly set up to host 60+ people. Saturday morning the ladies leveraged the Loft for hair and makeup which allowed us the comfort to get ready at our own pace with our vendors just steps from the ceremony and reception areas. The groomsman used the Grooms Quarters (just below the Loft ) and were able to play poker, pool and catch some games on TV while waiting for pre ceremony pictures. There are so many beautiful locations for pictures that our photographer and videography were having a field day. We got married on location under their beautiful oak tree that was nestled next to a picturesque field as the sun was setting. After the ceremony we had guests in the Round Barn for our cocktail hour. The best part was everything is on site! Our guests took just steps from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour to the reception barn and it flowed perfectly. It was a perfect 75 degrees in the barn for us that day which was facilitated with air conditioning to ensure a perfect temperature. The large doors allow for guests to be in or outdoors and have a luxurious experience. We live in Chicago so we were worried about making arrangements from so far away but Cathy and Molly were the best and know all the best vendors in the area; recommending florists, make up artists, hair stylists and even our planner/lifesaver Krissy Campbell with Simply be So Events. Overall St. Joe’s Farm was absolutely perfect.
