The Farmhouse wedding venue was a dream! We got married on December 29th and wanted a Christmas wedding! We worked with Gina who did everything to help make our vision come to life and ensured we had everything! The entire staff was amazing I cant thank them enough!!! They were so accommodating and friendly. If I asked for something they got it. A couple of things we got was our maître D brought us hand passed horsd’oeuvres during cocktail hour. If they did not provide that I wouldn’t have had a chance to eat! We also got to taste test everything which truly helped us pick what to have for the wedding and got to try some stations! All the guests raved about the food both cocktail hour and reception dinner. The bartenders were amazing. And we were able to have our ceremony in the ballroom as there was no other wedding for that day and the reception in the silo. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better night. People are still talking about it!

My wife and I had our wedding at the Farmhouse in October of 2024 and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our wedding turned out to be everything we dreamed of and more. The whole process leading up to our wedding in addition to our wedding day went very smoothly and we truly have the Farmhouse Staff to thank. Gina and her team were the best and so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process! Gina was very responsive and thorough with communication. The food was fantastic and plentiful. We had so many guests coming up to us saying how great the food was and how much fun they were having. It was such a magical experience having our wedding at the Farmhouse and are so lucky to have found them. You will absolutely be happy if you choose the Farmhouse for your event!

Amazing Wedding Venue! Great Experience!
We recently celebrated our wedding at The Farmhouse Silo (9/7/24) and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by the beauty of the grounds and the elegance of the event space, with plenty of picture-perfect spots for photos.
The entire team was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our day special!
Gina, our wedding coordinator, was amazing to work with, going above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. Her attention to detail, design ideas, organizational skills, and calm presence throughout the planning process was outstanding. Gina always answered our calls and emails, never making us feel rushed or competing for her attention. We genuinely can not thank her enough for everything she did to make our wedding day very special and unforgettable!!
Kimberly, the Maitre D, did a phenomenal job coordinating the night – always with a smile and very friendly. She ensured that our guests were warmly welcomed, the schedule ran smoothly, and all our special requests were handled seamlessly.
Carmen, the bridal attendant, was extremely attentive, professional, and quick to assist. She has a very unique and appreciated skill of knowing exactly when and how to attend to anxious brides and bridal parties without ever once being overbearing. I honestly don’t know how Carmen, whom I did not see rest once, was able to have the friendliest smile on her face the entire day.
So many of our guests commented that the venue was stunning, the food was delicious (from cocktail hour to the end of night “to go” breakfast sandwiches), and the staff was very attentive and friendly!
We cannot recommend The Farmhouse Silo enough for anyone looking for a wedding venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and a truly personalized experience!

We are beyond thrilled with how our wedding at The Farmhouse turned out! From start to finish, our experience was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of venue.
Gina was beyond great to work with. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that every little detail was just right.
On the day of the wedding, Billie (Matire de)and Sarah (bridal attendant) were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that we were taken care of.
The Grandball Room, where our reception was held, was stunning. It provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, with its beautiful decor and spacious layout. The ambiance was exactly what we had envisioned for our special day.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Farmhouse to anyone looking for a venue that offers not only breathtaking settings but also exceptional service. It truly made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Gina, Billie, Sarah, and the entire team at The Farmhouse, for making our dream wedding a reality!
P.S. The chef is also incredible. Our guests absolutely loved the food.

Absolutely beautiful venue! We held our ceremony at a church and traveled here for the reception. Our guests continue to rave about how beautiful the wedding was in The Silo! The area comfortably fits 165-170 guests with a large dance floor, but any more would have been tight. Our band performed on the stage which saved a lot of room! Elizabeth was great to work with throughout the entire planning process, we had multiple meetings and visits with her and our Day of Coordinator. The bridal attendants kept things running smoothly on Wedding Day while I got ready in the Bridal Suite! I would highly recommend having your wedding here any time of year! A day of coordinator/wedding planner was helpful for planning a church ceremony and the reception at the Silo since there were so many moving pieces.

We held our wedding at The Farmhouse/Silo in August 2024 and were initially drawn to the venue because of the option to rent the entire space, which was a significant selling point for us. However, the main factor that influenced our rating was the communication challenges we experienced with our coordinator during the planning process. Responses to our questions and follow-ups often took 3+ days, creating unnecessary stress. It appeared that the coordinator was juggling multiple responsibilities, and there was a sense of disorganization at times.
On the day of the wedding, some smaller requests, such as having mezcal for the bride and serving the bride and groom pasta from the paid pasta bar, were not fulfilled. Additionally, when we returned the next day to collect our props and any items left behind, there was no one available to provide our leftover cake, so we couldn't save it for our first anniversary.
On a positive note, the coordinator and assistant were quick to step in and handle minor issues that arose on the wedding day, which we appreciated, though we felt this was within the scope of their role. The execution of table settings and event flow was well done, and the food was good, though not exceptional.
Overall, while the venue has many great aspects, if you're looking for a flawlessly organized experience, there are some areas that could benefit from improvement.

Our ceremony and reception at The Silo at Farmhouse totaly exceeded our expectations. When we booked the location, it was just a concept drawing - so to see it come to life was amazing! Andrea Testa, the General Manager, was so hands on when it came to planning our ceremony and reception that it felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders knowing that I had one less thing to take care of. Unfortunately, my mother passed away suddenly days before the wedding and Andrea really stepped up knowing that most of our family would be grieving and the mood would be bittersweet the day of the wedding. She helped make subtle nods to the fact that my mother wasn't physically there but that she was there in spirit. Andrea took care of my family's needs as well as my own and made sure that our guests experienced a top-notch affair. I know that our friends and family are still talking about the food that was served, how the bartenders were phenomenal, and how it was the best wedding that they've ever been to, I still can't believe how every table was empty because the guests were up from their seats and dancing. It was truly an event to remember!

We got married at The Farmhouse (Grand Ballroom) on 10.21.23 and I truly had a love/hate relationship with the venue and staff. On the one hand, our wedding day was executed well overall. The spaces were stunning, the food was delicious, and our guests had a great time. The Farmhouse also has ample grounds for onsite photos, a large and unique menu selection, and the ability to host a fireworks display. On the other hand, my bridal experience did not meet my expectations. The morning bridal attendant was not very attentive – my husband and I had to ask multiple times for beverage refills, napkins, etc. for our respective wedding parties as we got ready, and I had to direct most of the décor set up. There were also many things promised to us when we booked and throughout the planning process that were not followed through on, for example gazebo florals/décor. An important thing to note about this venue is its currently being renovated and updated, so every time we visited between booking and the wedding day, details had changed without notice. These varied from an entirely new staff and wedding space (the Silo) being constructed, to new furniture. Also, the venue only started hosting two weddings per day this October and it was clear that the kinks were not worked out yet because many small details fell through the cracks, like there not being staff to escort our guests before the ceremony, our cocktail hour stations running out of forks, and unkept bathrooms. Again, these things did not make-or-break our day, but the overall lack of communication and attention to detail created a lot of stress, mistrust, and anxiety leading up to the event. We worked with the newest general manager, Andrea, for the three months leading up to our wedding and while she is professional and very experienced in wedding/event planning, she seemed very overwhelmed by the current state of The Farmhouse and I didn’t feel we got the amount of attention warranted.

The staff at The Farmhouse is absolutely amazing. Kimberly, as the bartender, crafts the most delicious and creative cocktails, making every guest's experience enjoyable and memorable. George, as the maître d', ensures that everything runs smoothly and that every guest feels like a VIP. Both Patrick and the other gentleman were excellent in catering towards our every wish. With their versatility and willingness to help out in any way, contribute to the seamless operation of the venue. Their dedication, teamwork, and attention to detail make them incredibly valuable assets to The Farmhouse. The staff's passion for their work shines through in every interaction, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all. I can't recommend them enough!

WARNING BRIDES AND GROOMS BEWARE! I have been to the Farmhouse venue twice in my life and I can say my two experiences have differed extremely! My first experience as a guest was during the summer for a coworker’s wedding. The venue was still under construction on one side, but it was quite a beautiful place. We read reviews about how great the food was, how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff were! Those reviews did not disappoint but there were problems that I had during my stay both times. For my first experience throughout the wedding, I had noticed the bartenders over pouring for customers. Now I am not complaining about getting some extra booze in my glass, but I don’t think the management was watching them at all. And if they were they did not seem to care one bit. It was very apparent as people became heavily under the influence. Even after this the bartenders still served them, that is highly unprofessional and unsafe! Not only were the bartenders overpouring but when I had a conversation with their maître’d George he reeked of alcohol and cigarettes! During our conversation it seemed that he wasn’t able to keep his words straight and had trouble focusing. He had a distinct smell of alcohol on his breath, and I soon became uncomfortable because of it. Speaking of smells from one of the bars I got a whiff of what smelt like marijuana coming from I believe her name was Kim. She served some guests shots from white paper cups and made me feel like I was at a house party rather than a wedding. Besides those problems from the first party the rest of the event was great, and I really enjoyed my time there. My second experience was pretty recent, I can sure say that the venue has changed a whole lot since the last time I was there. The silo side was finally open, it’s quite beautiful on its own but the flooring is something to be discussed. It also is very, for lack of a better term, Plain. It is mostly just white walls in the cocktail room feeling like a compact minimalist room. My same problems with George still stand as my friend said she smelt a whiff of alcohol on him. The food had also changed, I read a review in the past about this place a photographer saying that the food was not cookie cutter and amazing, I can confirm that from my first visit, but my second visit felt like I was getting served food from any low-end wedding venue. There was no soul or flavor behind it, it felt very cookie cutter and sad to say the least. The customer service from the servers was great and they made me feel very at home and they catered to my every need. But the bartenders continued to overpour still and I even witnessed one of them taking quick drinks here and there, I believe his name was Corey or Patrick, he was very distinct with his slick back hair. Overall, I really have to recommend you stay away from this place at all costs, save your money and book something where the staff isn’t drinking, smoking pot on the job or you want to actually experience food that’s not the same as every other venue you’ve been to. If you have already made plans with this venue and it’s too late for you to pull out, I’m feel sorry for you! I hope you still enjoy your special day but wish you could’ve had the chance to know this all before you booked your event!

The Silo was a dream wedding venue! The high ceilings, gorgeous chandeliers, and amazing backlighting led to wonderful pictures. We had several guests comment on how beautiful the venue was. We utilized floating candles for our centerpieces which played amazingly with the added candles provided by the Farmhouse. The staff was attentive, helpful, and communicative.
They paid attention to detail and were always available to put our minds at ease.
We also rented the bridal suite and groom’s suite. Both suites were spacious, filled with entertainment, and included private bathrooms and mini fridges. There was plenty of space for my hair and makeup team.. We all had a wonderful time getting ready for the wedding.
The food and chef were absolutely incredible. We were able to completely customize the menu by adding things like garlic mashed potatoes and chicken francese. What really stood out is that it felt like we were giving our guests a high end restaurant meal, rather than cookie cutter wedding food.

The Farmhouse was extremely accommodating with all of our requests and it was a great atmosphere for our ceremony and reception. The food was EXCELLENT and all of our guests raved about it and the service! Lots of great options -- many that are not the typical wedding food you would expect. We had personnel changes from the time we booked until the wedding day but they came through and met with us immediately to assure us we were all on the same page. Elizabeth was extremely pleasant to deal with and Maya (the bridal assistant) could not have been more buttoned up on wedding day! The only real downside would be the bridal "suite" is extremely small so if you have a large bridal party it is not ideal but we made it work. They made for a magical wedding day!

The only reason I’m rating this 3 stars is because the venue did not communicate very well. I went up to the venue 2 days before my wedding and found out that the venue was under construction meaning the place the grooms were suppose to get ready was being moved and they would have to walk outside to get to the other side of the venue where everything is happening. This also meant we could not use the wine room for photo. Now the groom is in a wheelchair so this change was not ideal. So for me the bride to find this out 2 days before my wedding was a little frustrated but there was nothing we could do. When I was there I inquired about the fall decor that was suppose to be supplied by the venue because there were no mums, haystack, pumpkins, gourds and corn stocks out around the venue, like I was told would be. I was told they should be arriving on 9/30 and that we should be good for our wedding on 10/1. I arrived the day of my wedding and none of that was there and when I asked the person on the grounds about it I was told they would look into it. When I asked again the person was honest and said she doesn’t see it’s happening. So my maid of honor and matron of honors significant others ran to shoprite to grabbed a few pumpkins and gourds for the fireplace. No one called to let us know the day before so we could have a plan in effect. The general manager did not come and talk or even apologize to me or the groom about something they promised. We were suppose to have a private cocktail hour set up in the bridal suite for the wedding party that was suppose be ready once we were done saying i do. It was not done, my maid of honor had to jump the bridal attendee to get me and groom food as the rest of the wedding party had to fend for theirselves. There were suppose to be 10 waiters/waitresses and I swear there were only 5 waiters/waitresses and the bridal attendee. All of this was in our contract.
Other then the lack of communication the wedding was beautiful. The food as wonderful. The venue was clean and set up perfectly. The switch from an indoor ceremony to a reception hall was quick and quiet. That none of the guest heard it. I truly loved the venue. I just wish the venue had been upfront and communicated with us about the construction, and about the fall decors not being delivered before we arrived.

The Farmhouse is not only a beautiful venue but the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding so special. The decor was perfect for Christmas time and all of our guests could not stop raving about how cozy and elegant our wedding was and also how amazing the food was! Debbie handled majority of our planning from day 1 and she did a great job at making sure everything was perfect! The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because there is construction happening that is a pretty big eye sore right as you pull up to the venue which was never made known to myself or my husband. We got there for the rehearsal and it was a construction zone. This is no fault to the Farmhouse staff, it is actually the Landmark company purposely keeping this a secret from all couples. Luckily my photographer had no problem keeping this out of photos and by the time guests arrived it was dark out and the Farmhouse staff hid it well. I have no regrets having my wedding at the beautiful Farmhouse but regret working with the Landmark company since they were blatantly dishonest, however it did not ruin our day!

My wedding was 10/29/2022 and I just cannot say enough GREAT things about my wedding. The Farmhouse was the perfect venue for me and my husband. The exact vibe and atmosphere we envisioned… warm, inviting, rustic and intimate. Our family and friends had nothing but great things to say about the venue, the property, service and the food!!
Deborah was amazing from day one- always responding to my emails and annoying inquiries with punctuality and great support. Deborah and her team put everything together for me to make sure my vision came to life. I was really apprehensive about managing my own centerpieces and decor but they were able to truly bring my vision to life. Deborah and my bridal attendant put together all my centerpieces (which were not exactly easy when you’re managing 20 tables) and everything looked PERFECT. Exactly the way I envisioned it. Most venues require you either use their centerpieces or hire a coordinator but the Deborah assured me this is something they can manage and they truly pulled through.
I can’t thank them enough. Me and my husband had ordered pretzels as our to-favors, I coordinated with Deborah to make sure this was okay and again, she assured me she would handle it. I truly feel like there wasn’t anything I asked that Deborah didn’t say okay or yes to.
There were minimal hiccups but were handled professionally and quickly to the point I didn’t even notice. The bridal attendant was switched on me the day of which initially caused me stress but she was ON IT. My centerpieces and decor looked amazing, exactly the way I wanted them to. She was attentive and great the entire night.
Family and friends are still talking about my wedding even a month after and saying how wonderful it was. It was truly the best day of my life and I wish I could relive the day over and over. I highly recommend The Farmhouse .. Deborah and her team are the best!!

I had my wedding on 11/4 and The Farmhouse was overall a good venue. It is insanely beautiful and exactly what I wanted for my wedding visually. Everything looked beautiful the day of, and the food was soooo good. Guests raved about it!
However, The Farmhouse dropped the ball a number of times on my wedding day, leading to some chaos and stress for me, my husband and my immediate family. Leading up to the wedding day, communication was really difficult. Both Julie & Debbie were hard to reach and ultimately made me feel uneasy about everything going as I had planned. After our first look and pictures (at the Farmhouse) I came inside to find the entire floor plan incorrect. I had worked on this for WEEKS, hours and hours of work put into it. I had been fine all day until I saw the reception room completely and totally wrong (layout, table numbers, everything). They showed me my "floor plan "which is not the PDF I sent to them multiple times. This is the only thing that caused me to cry! Julie walked right by me and saw me crying, said nothing and continued on. That was really not cool.
Not soon after, I come to find out they think my ceremony time is 5pm, when it is 4:30 (reviewed this with the multiple times). At this point I was so stressed and upset I couldn't relax one bit before the ceremony. We started around 4:45 instead.
Cocktail hour turns into the reception, and by this point they had fixed the floor plan which was good. Dinner came out around 45 mins late, which completely screwed up the DJ's schedule. They also shut down our wedding early even though we barely had time to dance. Unfortunately most of our guests left feeling it got cut short and should have been longer.
All in all, it's a beautiful venue with great food. I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner if you book this venue. Unfortunately we could not afford one, but I feel it's 100% necessary to have a smooth day.

Having our wedding at The Farmhouse was truly a dream. After switching over to a new manager, we weren't sure how the transition would be, but Deborah did not disappoint! Everyone at The Farmhouse is extremely laid back and flexible. Deborah attended to all of our needs and Julie was extremely responsive to all of my emails. Maya was a BOSS bridal attendant. The food was outstanding- we loved everything at the tasting but it exceeded our expectations the night of the wedding. Everyone raved about the food. The ambiance was exactly what we wanted. Rustic and cozy to say the least.
The only feedback I have is that the bridal party got ready at the venue in the morning- they set us up in the bridal suite not realizing the bridal party was too big to fit in that small room. Since they are undergoing some construction, they put us in a different room (which was honestly PERFECT), but it was a bit of a trek to go back and forth from there to the bridal suite since we had to walk all the way around the building outside. Everything also had to be transferred from the bridal suite to the other room which took some time (Again, no problem). We had paid to have the breakfast provided to us in the morning and the bridal party had to request coffee which honestly took a couple of hours.. the lady who was working at the venue in the morning was doing tours and kept reiterating how late she was there the night before and how she had tour appointments all morning so she was running around by herself. Again- not a big deal at all and I am thankful that she was there to put everything together for us but it definitely was a little off putting that she was reiterating how late she was there the night before for the previous wedding- my only recommendation would be to possibly have someone different available in the morning to assist with the setup/breakfast/coffee making. But, she was still a rock star with how busy she was. Overall it was a lovely experience.

We absolutely loved our wedding at The Farmhouse! We had a hard time finding an venue that was rustic (but not too rustic) and elegant (but not stuffy or ridiculously expensive). Then we found the Farmhouse! :) We got married on July 29 and the outdoor ceremony space was absolutely stunning. The ballroom was just as gorgeous with its beautiful fireplace and romantic chandeliers. It was truly a fairy tale. Debbie and the whole team are absolute experts and the entire wedding ran like a well-oiled machine. We got SO many compliments on the food, especially at the cocktail hour. When guests talk to us about our wedding now, they usually bring up the food at cocktail hour :P We cannot recommend The Farmhouse enough. We had our dream wedding at this venue.

I can't stop smiling when I think back on our wedding day at The Farmhouse. Debbie and her team were AMAZING!! Being a type-A bride, I had concerns about giving up control when it came to the actual day and setting up, flow of events, and full on execution but Debbie, Julie, and the entire Farmhouse staff were phenomenal!!
The venue its self is stunning and all of the recommended vendors that The Farmhouse suggested were equally as wonderful. I don't have any bad things to say! 10/10 recommend

Look no further if you want an elegant, rustic, classy wedding! My husband and I really connected with the overall "vibe" of this venue. Deborah is a pleasure to work with. Everything we requested for our wedding plans was able to be fulfilled, from bringing in an outside caterer, letting the florist come months prior to help with plans, etc. There is a ton of space for guests as well as for the bridal party to get ready in various rooms. There are also so many options for the photographer and videographer to capture moments of your day. The guests told us how much they loved the place and enjoyed their experience, too! The best part is that you have the venue the entire day. There is no other wedding going on that day but yours!

We had the most amazing experience at The Farmhouse for our wedding on 5/6/22. From the minute we walked into the venue, we knew it was special. Debbie, the on-site coordinator, was so helpful throughout the entire process. She was extremely easy to work with and was so knowledgeable and helpful.
The wedding day ran so smoothly and both Debbie and Julie, our bridal attendant, were there providing support the entire day.
All of our guests raved about the reception/ceremony space and still cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was.
Thank you again for such an unforgettable day and night! We highly recommend this venue to all couples looking for a wedding full of amazing food, scenery and staff!

The Farmhouse was such a wonderful spot for my husband and my wedding. The staff working there were extremely accommodating, especially after my husband and I had to postpone our wedding one year due to the COVID pandemic.
Deborah in particular was an outstanding help to us during the whole process, planning and replanning. She was exceptionally helpful and personable and working with her was so easy! She made sure my husband and I were taken care of the whole day of our wedding (food/drinks etc), and even me us the following day to collect things that had been left there!
The whole staff was extremely helpful to both my husband and I, our bridal party, and all of our guests the night of. My husband and I kept hearing how attentive the staff was (no wine glass or plate was left empty for long!).
The venue itself is so gorgeous and being that we got married on New Years Eve, it was still decorated for the Holidays which was gorgeous. Really requires little more decoration than the raw materials the place has. Would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a beautiful, elegant, more rustic location for a wedding!

I absolutely loved my wedding at the Farmhouse!! It was truly my rustic winter wedding! Food was fabulous! It was truly amazing! Only reason I took a star away was that there were tours being given the day of my wedding. We were getting ready there and doing pictures and there were people walking through our time. I was very disappointed by that. Other than that I loved it there.

We got married on 12/18/21, and our day was perfect. We had a lot of nerves leading up to the day given the various moving parts, COVID, etc., but we knew we could trust Debbie to make sure the wedding itself ran as smoothly as possible, and she did! Both Debbie and Julia (bridal attendant) were outstanding at managing the flow and supporting us throughout the day. The food was great (and there was a lot of it!) and the venue was beautifully decorated and set up.
When we were looking for venues, my husband and I did not want a “wedding factory,” but with the COVID-induced wedding craze, we also knew we had to act quickly to lock a place down. We saw the Ryland Inn online and thought, “wow, we could definitely see ourselves getting married there!” And then we saw the price tag. We knew we wanted something similar, but ideally cheaper. The Farmhouse checks both boxes. We’re so glad we booked here!

The Farmhouse was our dream venue. Everyone we worked with there was so amazing, they really made our vision come to life. Debbie our coordinator spent the whole day before our wedding decorating it for Christmas, and everything was so beautiful. The food is AMAZING. We had so many people tell us how great it was. The cocktail hour food is already enough for an army, and the dinners were incredible. The whole staff was lovely, our bridal attendant Julia was so thoughtful and considerate. She always made sure we had exactly what we needed but didnt push us at all. The entire space was gorgeous, we loved every minute. If I could give it 6 stars I would!

The Farmhouse is a beautiful, newly renovated venue, that my husband and I would highly recommend to other couples looking for a lovely, modern (and not cookie cutter) place to celebrate a wedding. The highlight for us is the Farmhouse's staff and their professionalism and ability to accommodate details in order to make the couple's vision come true. We are deeply grateful to Debbie (GM), Julie (bridal attendant), Chef Doug, and countless others for their care and service. They did their best to make our reception a success - and it was more wonderful than we ever expected! Thank you so much.
A couple of small pointers for couples who are on the search: The Farmhouse can accommodate up to ~200 guests, assuming you still want a sizable dance floor (not the 250 stated officially). Also, you'll need to be organized/proactive in your wedding planning - this is not a full-service venue that provides detailed planning and lots of follow up, but they will review your plans with you to see your vision through, respond quickly to questions, and meet with you whenever needed.

The Farmhouse was an absolute dream for my October wedding. From the moment I walked in, I knew I needed to have my wedding there. During my planning, the manager changed. Debbie made me feel important, heard, and understood. She communicated with me often on any questions that I had. I was nervous for the change in management, but Debbie made it the easiest change. She sat with me multiple times, on the phone and in person to discuss details. The day of was nothing short of amazing. Everything was exactly how I wanted, or better. The whole staff was amazing and very attentive to everyone in the crowd! The Farmhouse will always be a special place to me. Thank you for my most memorable day! xoxo

What a whirlwind these past two years have been. I fell in love with The Farmhouse back in 2019 after seeing a few other venues. It was stunning. Recently renovated ballroom. It was perfect. And within budget.
They worked with us when we had made the decision to postpone our wedding due to COVID. We were able to push it back 1 year to the day. We experienced a bit of GM turnover. But it all went fairly smooth. Stefanie, the Bridal Attendant was fantastic. The food…is incredible. We were able to make adjustments to the menu and they were flexible with us. And it was all absolutely delicious.
Thank you so much for making our reception what it was!

The Farmhouse was absolutely beautiful and was everything I ever dreamed of for my wedding venue. Andrea, the manager was absolutely fantastic and so helpful in making sure everything came into place the way I wanted it to. Without Andrea calming my nerves, I think I would have lost it when planning a wedding through the pandemic. The ease with transitioning the date was perfect and made myself and my fiancé unstressed. I definitely recommend this venue for anyone!!!

We got married at The Farmhouse June 11, 2021 and couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Andrea was incredibly helpful and organized throughout the planning process and our big day. We even had to make a last minute change to the ceremony, moving it indoors because of rain and the staff didn’t miss a beat. It was incredible! The bridal attendant was super attentive and a big help throughout the reception. Nothing but good things to say about the venue, food, cake, staff, and overall experience!! Best day of our lives!

We booked the Farmhouse back in 2017, I am so happy we did. In 2019, they were purchased by Landmark Hospitality. Being concerned, I reached out to Rebecca to see if we could meet. She took the time to sit down with us and explain the changes being made. When I was feeling a bit uneasy about the change in owners she sat down again with me, my fiance, and parents to go over every question I had (it took almost 2 hours). She really went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and make sure I was comfortable with having my wedding there. From then on, she was in constant communication with us about the renovations. After the renovations, the Farmhouse looks gorgeous and the fireplace is stunning. All my guests complimented how elegant and beautiful the place looked. As for food, I was blown away by the chef at the Farmhouse. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was, especially for cocktail hour.
As for the staff, everyone was friendly and willing to help! They all went above and beyond to make our day perfect! I have a disease where my hands turn blue if I get cold. One of the waiters got me a hot cup to keep my hands warm in between photos. My bridal attendant Laura was like a second mom that day. She was so attentive and made sure my bridal party was taken care of. She was wonderful to work with! Sam, our Maitre d’, was so on top of everything. She made sure everyone was on time and kept our wedding running so smoothly!
Overall, the Farmhouse made our day beyond perfect! I am so happy we booked with them and would highly recommend!

I was a little hesitant about booking my wedding here while they were renovation, but I am SO HAPPY THAT I DID!! Rebecca showed me the floor plans in the process of planning my wedding so I knew exactly what to expect and how to envision everything. The space was absolutely STUNNING! Rebecca was beyond amazing, answering every question I had at all hours and even on her days off. She even moved decor around for me the day of to make sure the space was perfect and it absolutely was! My bridal attendant, Laura, was a God send! She made sure I was happy and everything was going smoothly for myself and my groom. The food was delicious, my guests have been raving about it for two weeks now and the waitstaff was so attentive. Our maitre'd was Sam and she was great as well! Very helpful and made sure everything looked perfect and everything was where it needed to be all night! I also want to mention our bartenders, they were busy all night and never once fell behind. They were amazing and kept the party going!! I usually don't leave reviews but I'm so grateful to The Farmhouse and their incredible staff for making my day everything I've always dreamed of and more.

I do not recommend this venue. We were lied to multiple times regarding renovations (we were never even told when we booked there was going to be a change in management and the ballroom would not look the same). Then we were told everything was going to be completed in time, which it was not. I found out about the renovations by going online and seeing "this location has permanently closed" on yelp and going to The Farmhouse website which DIDN'T EVEN EXIST anymore. As a bride 6 months out from her wedding you can imagine the panic that caused. The whole process was very unorganized, I got no reminders about payments or anything. If I didn't keep track of it myself and get it in on time, who knows what would have happened. Not a big deal but as a bride there are so many things you need to keep track of. Rebecca is very timely in responding to you but just tells you what you want to hear, not the actual truth. I'd rather just know what I'm getting into from the start so I don't have unmet expectations - especially on your wedding day. They didn't ask for the seating chart until 2 days before. Then during cocktail hour my mom realized the seating chart was completely messed up - my husband's parent's table was shoved way in a back corner and the table numbers/chairs at each table did not match up AT ALL to what I sent them. My mom and a few bridesmaids spent cocktail hour rearranging tables before the reception started. Nobody kept us on track and told us where we needed to be a when. It was just very disorganized. We were supposed to have a big sparkler send off (which I talked to Rebecca multiple times about). That was not communicated whatsoever and simply just didn't happen...I spent almost $100 on sparklers and they just sat there at the end of the night. There were no announcements made or arrangements to get everyone organized for our exit. The night just ended. Then Rebecca told us we would have to clean up EVERYTHING the night of the wedding - everything had to be out because there was a wedding the next morning (even though there was a huge unused restaurant attached the the venue - we couldn't use that). When it came time to do that, one of the staff said, "no there's no wedding tomorrow" and that we could leave what we needed and pick it up tomorrow, so that was just another lie. The food was brought out to the entire brides' side first, then the grooms' side which I thought was unprofessional. My parents were completely done eating before my husband's parents even got their food. When we mentioned it to them we were told it was because the seating chart changed...(which was the seating chart I gave them so I don't know who's seating chart they were looking at). I will give credit where credit is due, so a plus is the food was amazing and abundant. They were also very accommodating to delay our ceremony by 20 mins when it was down pouring outside. From a guest perspective, it was a 4 or 5 star wedding, but from a bride's perspective, 1 star, if that. The whole process is unorganized and for the amount you are paying for this venue, it is not worth the hassle and lies.

We cannot say enough good things about the Farmhouse and our wedding experience. This was the first venue my husband and I looked at and we booked it almost immediately (after verifying the church date). The venue is gorgeous with so many lovely spots to photograph family/friends and the newlyweds.
Rebecca and her team were so gracious, and so organized; it was wonderful to work with them. Planning the wedding seemed so easy because their team is so experienced. We also used the Farmhouse's recommendations for our transportation, DJ, hair/makeup, and florist because we trusted the team so much, and they were all also amazing.
By the end Rebecca seemed like family. My in laws went to dinner there one evening and Rebecca greeted them like old friends.
Lastly, our guests cannot stop raving about the food and drinks, almost a month later! Highly recommend!

They clearly had a lot of experience, and were more than willing to brainstorm ideas with me to make sure it was perfect. Guests said food was delicious, and it was plentiful (very important to us!) They were even accommodating after a hurricane stopped some of our guests from attending and we had to change things last minute. 5/5

I just got married there this October. The venue is beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious! However, they seem to have some issues internally...in less than a year's time I had gone through two different wedding planners that became no longer employed. I felt it would have been nice to have a courtesy call or email to let me know that the wedding planner I had been working with was gone and be rest assured that everything was still being taken care of etc. Not only did they miss this opportunity once with me but twice. I found out through other means which lead it to me feel more stressful about it then if they had just been forward with me to let me know. Everyone rest assured me it would go smoothly and they had all my notes etc. But then wedding day they didn't have an important part of my ceremony put out and waiting for me which lead us to stand awkwardly around during our ceremony as we waited for someone to find it and bring it out. They also let our live butterflies be out in the cold to long so they did not fly. So if you are getting married in October and thinking about having real butterflies, you may want to reconsider. Their staff "helped" pack things up for us which lead me to find our cake topper shoved in an inappropriate box causing it to break. So you may want to just make sure you have a team to dismantle everything yourselves and not let them touch it. I don't feel any of these issues should have occurred, especially for the cost of this venue. I'm really not sure I would recommend them.

The Farmhouse completely exceeded our expectations for our July wedding reception! My husband and I were in search of a private dining room that would accommodate our small group of guests without being too over-the-top. After scoping out a few venues and having lunch here, we concluded that the food and atmosphere were perfect. Cozy and casual but elegant, we knew this historic spot would satisfy the crowd. Rebecca, the Director of Catering Sales, offered us the Perryville room while she and the staff put in ample time to help us plan the menu and setup. The options were vast, and we decided on a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by an arrangement of appetizers and a custom dinner menu that left our guests with plenty of choice. They even thoughtfully plated our wedding cake with berries that complemented the flavor. The day flowed seamlessly which allowed us to just relax and have a great time with our guests, and the meal was a hit from start to finish! If you opt for hors d’oeuvres, be sure to get the 1685 Reuben.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Farmhouse this past Saturday, and i can honestly say that everything was PERFECT. Guests were complimenting the food, decor, and space all night long. The team helped with incredible recommendations for vendors, all of which turned out to be incredible. Even with some staff changes throughout my planning process, i never felt like the team didn't have my back and weren't committed to the event. Rebecca and Ashley were a JOY to work with, and i truly felt their excitement for our day, and their commitment to making it perfect. The bridal suite was also beautiful, and served as the perfect place to get ready and take bridal photos for the day. I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue and team, and my only regret is that we can't do it all over again!!
Of all the places we toured, The Farmhouse was by far the most beautiful, accommodating, yet also budget friendly. I would recommend to anyone who wants to impress their guests and have a ball doing it!

We just got married at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial on June 23, 2018 and it was FLAWLESS. We chose The Farmhouse for our wedding because of the FANTASTIC food and also because it didn't feel like a "wedding factory". We were immediately drawn to the beautiful grounds, welcoming staff, and their strong desire to make your wedding feel like your own. My husband and I really wanted a wedding that was personalized and the staff at The Farmhouse was more than willing to help make our ideas a reality. Being detailed oriented people, we really appreciated the time and effort the staff put in reviewing every last detail with us. They were patient and willing to answer all our questions (and we had plenty)!
On the day of the wedding, everything was executed to perfection. The staff was attentive to not only my husband and I, but to all of the guests. Between the cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert... food was absolutely amazing. Your guests always remember the food they had at a wedding and ours could not stop raving about it! Our wedding coordinators and maitre'd were completely 'on top' of the evening making sure everything was going well. They always made sure my husband and I were okay and most importantly, kept the reception flowing with the food, dj, cake cutting, etc. We didn't have to worry about anything. To cap it all off, we ended the night with a fireworks display that our vendor and The Farmhouse planned together to perfection.
The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial is truly a hidden gem in NJ. Thank you for making it the best day of our lives.

I could not be any happier with how my wedding day turned out. I am so glad my husband and I decided to go with the Farmhouse as our venue because they really pull out all the stops. From the beginning, working with Kevin was a pleasure. He was always prompt at responding to questions and working within our price range. Nastassja was also great! She was friendly, helpful and just an all around pleasure. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch. The only complaint I had was the temperature in the bride and groom suites. Even though the air was on, at times, especially when putting my dress on, I was sweating. I'm not sure if this is because it was hot and humid outside and the system wasn't working properly but that is my only complaint. Guests have been raving for 2 weeks about how delicious and how much food there was. The room was also beautiful, newly renovated and very large. We had a smaller wedding of 90 guests but you can easily fit double that in the space. All of the wait staff was pleasant as well. They are extremely organized and work hard to make your day perfect!

Brittney and Kevin were an amazing duo to work with! They were always available when we had questions and were very quick to respond. On the days leading up to our wedding they were extremely organized and took detailed notes regarding to ensure that everything was laid out and all decor was placed throughout the venue just as we had imagined! On the day of our wedding they made sure everything ran smooth from start to finish and if anything went wrong behind the scenes we had no idea! Throughout the entire night Kevin continued to check in and make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and always asked if there was anything he could get for us.
The food was amazing and all our guests kept commenting on how much food was available during the cocktail hour and how delicious everything was!
I highly recommend them and their team for your wedding!

This is a beautiful venue with incredible food and atmosphere and serious internal issues. I wish I had the same experience as the previous reviews but unfortunately I did not. My husband and I were married at the Farmhouse just 1 month ago and things didn’t go smoothly from start to finish. Booked December 2016, married November 2017.
We had extreme confidence in Kevin and his team, especially after attending an expo at the Farmhouse and seeing them in action. Since then, the communication from the venue to us was minimal to nothing. Emails and calls went unanswered for weeks at a time. However, being engaged and planning a wedding for the first time, I trusted the “professionals” and didn’t want to get in their way since they obviously had other weddings to focus on. Every meeting we had (3) with Kevin, it was like starting all over again. Finally, about 30 days before my wedding I contacted Kevin once again and received a response from Brittney. We still didn’t have a food tasting. We went in to meet Brittney and have our tasting. At the meeting we quickly realized Brittney, who obviously had just taken over for Kevin abruptly, knew NOTHING about our wedding. I want to be clear that this was NOT Brittney’s fault. We felt as bad for her for having this dumped on her plate as she felt for us for having this experience. We truly felt more comfortable and confident with Brittney than we ever did with Kevin. None of our vendors were contacted, they did not know our meal choices, they had buffet but we were doing stations from the beginning, and they did not know anything about the day of. My husband and I had a non traditional wedding so we wanted to be sure they were clear on the day of details.
After that meeting I spoke to Brittney more times in the next 2 weeks than I did to Kevin the entire year he “worked” there. I credit her for making us so much more comfortable in very stressful time.
The day of the wedding did not go any smoother than the planning process.
Positives:
The food was amazing as it always is every time I eat at the Farmhouse.
The wait staff was perfect except for one bartender who seemed to really hate his job and let all my guests know.
Negatives:
They had table seatings for 110 people when our final head count was 168 people. Almost 1/3 of my wedding guests did not have a table to eat on or a chair. They did bring more chairs to put along the wall but they knew we had 168 people, completely embarrassing and unacceptable.
The food was not labeled at all. No one knew what they were eating, even though it was delicious, and there were several people with high food allergies including my husband.
They gave us a buffet instead of the stations which was the MOST important detail to me. They changed the entire vibe of our wedding by changing how the food was served WITHOUT our consent.
Other things happened like the mic didn’t work during ceremony, the beer we specially requested was not shown so no one knew about it, and Brittney was missing most of the night. Although she initially made us feel so much better, she did not come through the day of and therefore failed in her job. As the manager she was to oversee everything and make sure the details were correct and she didn’t. She gave us the same empty promises Kevin and the Farmhouse staff did and did not deliver.
We are so disappointed with this venue and their lack of concern for the way they handled the most important day in our lives thus far.

We were blown away with the service and attention to detail The Farmhouse provided us on our wedding day. We felt the service was so personal and they really wanted me and my groom to have the most perfect day. We almost felt like royalty with how generous and hospitable they were. Plus the décor and feel of the Farmhouse was perfect. Everyone was so impressed with the food especially it all tasted amazing! Everyone had such a fun time and that was what was most important. The Farmhouse was able to provide a perfect day for us.

My husband and I knew the only place that would be capable of providing us with a unique, yet classy arena for our wedding reception was the Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial. From start to finish, Kevin and his team ensured every intricate detail was perfect. And trust me when I say we had some interesting requests to coordinate. From planning a secret arrival and wardrobe changes to catering to our rather odd dining selections (you could say restrictions), Kevin and his team flawlessly tackled every dynamic we threw at them. We still have people talking about how much fun they had at our reception - never had they been to such a classy, yet personalized reception. May 6, 2017 will forever be one of my favorite days thanks to the Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial.

We hosted our daughter's wedding at The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial on Sunday of Labor Day weekend this year and we couldn't have been more pleased with the service, professionalism, and aesthetics provided.
We had never known about this gem in Hampton New Jersey, nor it's quaint restaurant and farm to table menu. A friend drove by and noticed the sign indicating weddings and banquets. We checked online and were immediately intrigued as our daughter and fiancée wanted a garden ceremony with evening ballroom reception. I called and made an appointment with Kevin McMullen, their Catering Manager the next week ! Would it be as lovely as it appeared on the website ?
It was ! And, the more we learned from Kevin's tour, the more we came to appreciate the practiced eye his 35 year career in wedding event planning revealed. He is an ardent professional who carries out his work, (and your vision) with enthusiasm and precision while being infinitely approachable. We were impressed with his introduction and noted apparent value in their wedding package. Most importantly, on your special day, you are the only wedding taking place at the Farmhouse !
An avid gardener, I was impressed with the lush garden crescent of flowering trees, perennials and annuals encircling a paver aisle leading to ceremonial gazebo. Unknown to the viewer, these trees and flowers conceal state of the art speakers. Guests are seated on pristine white wooden chairs arranged in a chevron to enhance views of the bride and groom. A rolling field of 10 acres and towering trees stretching to the sky seamlessly blends the ceremony site with this serene backdrop. Great for photographs !
Of course the prospect of rain is always in the back of one's mind when planning an outdoor ceremony. We were relieved to learn there is a ready and lovely back-up indoors.
On the day of the wedding our guests raved about the garden, the abundant food choices staged so appealingly in the cocktail area. Dinner was equally well served and delicious. Kevin oversaw every detail and was always at arm's reach, if in need. We felt so secure in the professionalism of the Farmhouse staff, that we decided to choose our Officient, Photographer and DJ from their "Preferred Vendor List." They were knowledgeable about the Farmhouse facilities and philosophy of customer-centric service. We will write a separate review on each as we were delighted by all.
The Farmhouse at the Grand Colonial doesn't rely on its reputation to impress,( although it very well could, given the high marks from past customers). Indeed, the owners and staff take obvious pride in refreshing seasonal decor, as well as the facility itself. Paint, carpet, flooring, etc. are all pristine. The ballroom boasts beautiful lighting, tableware and an ample dance floor. Rest assured you're getting the whole package - delivered with passion and integrity - when you contract with them to host one of the most important days of your life !

We had our wedding reception at The Farmhouse almost one year ago, on October 22, 2016. My husband and I were looking for somewhere relatively close to my church that had a rustic but elegant feel and was large enough to hold our big Italian and Irish families. We toured a few venues but nothing captured us like The Farmhouse. It was large enough for our guest list and was the perfect combination of decore. We loved the idea that the venue was once a true farmhouse and now has a gorgeous ballroom connected to it. Jimmy met with us and gave us a tour of the venue then sat and listened to what we were interested in for our big day. We felt extremely comfortable with him, Kevin, and the other staff that we had met that day and signed the next weekend. From that day on we received calls and emails with all of the pertinent information and all of our questions and concerns were promptly answered!
The day of our wedding was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived at The Farmhouse we were attended to by the Bridal Attendant and The Maitre'd. They made sure that we had a drink in our hand and food to eat all night long and helped to gather family and friends for various photos! All of our vendors including our live band commented on how coordinated our event was and our guests have not stopped raving about the food and staff!
If you are looking for an elegant venue with a rustic feel; fantastic food; and a wonderful staff, we cannot recommend The Farmhouse at The Grand Colonial enough! You WILL NOT be disappointed if you choose to have your wedding (or any event) there!

We had an amazing experience at the Farmhouse this past June. From the first time we went there, we knew there was something special at The Farmhouse that we did not find anywhere else. Kevin was wonderful to work with. He made sure things were perfect throughout the day and made both of us feel special. The night went seamlessly, things were very organized and we weren't stressed about anything! Richard controlled the food and service staff throughout the night and we could not have been more pleased. Our guests are still talking about our wedding. No one could believe that they were going to be eating dinner after the cocktail hour. Thank you again for making our day so wonderful! We will definitely never forget it.

I cannot speak more highly of my experience working with the Farmhouse. My husband and I "got ready" and did our first look photos at the Farmhouse, had an off-site ceremony, and then returned for the reception. The reception was truly a worry-free experience for us and our parents because of how smoothly and professionally it was run. Everything was beautiful, the staff was so accommodating, the food was delicious, and we had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding reception we had ever been to. My husband and I especially loved the Farmhouse because we are Hunterdon County locals, but even if you are not this is an amazing venue that, in my opinion, is much more affordable than other locations of similar quality. Have your wedding at the Farmhouse!

Our daughter was married at the Farmhouse this past May and everything was wonderful. Kevin is a talented, experienced, and altogether incredible person to work with. He also is funny and wise which help with the stress of planning! The venue is beautiful inside and out, the staff is extremely competent, and the food is excellent. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour- we highly recommend the mashed potato bar and the ice cream bar! Also, the dance floor is expandable- it accommodated our 197 guests - most of whom were dancing, just fine.

Our wedding at The Farmhouse was truly a wonderful experience. The entire staff worked seamlessly together to ensure that our day went off without a hitch. If there were any issues behind the scenes, we never knew about them. Instead, we actually got to be guests at our own wedding, secure in the knowledge that the Farmhouse staff would handle everything. Kevin, our sales manager, thought of every detail and kept us on task during the countdown to our wedding, making sure that we had given him the necessary details and timetables. He was indispensable the day of the wedding -- he stayed until the very end of the night! We cannot thank him enough for his tireless efforts. Also, we truly appreciated Kevin's years of experience with event planning, as neither one of us was particularly skilled at it. It was a relief to put matters into his hands and know that we would receive an outstanding experience. Everyone at The Farmhouse provided singular and personalized service, we never felt like we were part of a wedding factory. In particular, we must express our gratitude to Donna who is in charge of the beautiful grounds. When we visited the Farmhouse a few days before our wedding to see everything, we happened to cross paths with her and she immediately cleared her schedule and took us on an extensive tour (making sure to point out the best spots for photographs, including a beautiful cherry blossom grove). When we expressed some concerns that the flowers would be wilted for our wedding, she had the staff plant new blooms. We could not believe she took the time and effort to do that for us. This commitment to excellent service is a hallmark of The Farmhouse. Book them now!

I cannot say enough great things about The Farmhouse!!
First, do not be deceived by the name. This is not a barn or super rustic venue. It can lean towards rustic with the appropriate decor, but is beautiful and classic and we did not choose to go that way for NYE. We were married on NYE 2016/2017 and they were so amazing and accommodating in every way possible!!
The entire staff is amazing, professional, and always incredibly nice to all of our guests. They will truly go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure your day is perfect!! Here are some examples:
- I really wanted my dj to live stream the ball drop at midnight, but was concerned that streaming over wifi might cut out since everyone would be on their devices bogging down the network. Jimmy actually worked with whatever provider they use and had cable tv run into the ballroom to ease my mind!!
-I selected a vendor for fireworks and they worked closely with my vendor to ensure everything went off without a hitch- they had extra meetings and gave them access to the grounds whenever needed with minimal involvement from myself.
-We requested a new food station with a selection of traditional Spanish dishes and Jimmy and his team worked to build a delicious station with the most amazing dishes! In fact, all of our guests raved about how great all of the food was!! Some even said they just kept eating despite being ridiculously full because it was just that good!! The chef is amazing and sat with us and she worked to ensure that everything on the menu was exactly what we wanted!!
The whole team was so wonderful. I really cannot say that enough! My bridal attendant was the most wonderful girl ever. Anything I needed I knew I could turn around and she would be there. To help. I didn't have to think about a thing, I dropped off my decor a few days before with basically no instructions except some words on the boxes and they executed everything flawlessly!!
They just made everything easier for me and I wouldn't have had my wedding anywhere else!!!

My husband and I were married at The Farmhouse at The Grand Colonial on Friday night (3/31/17). I cannot say enough about our experience and wedding. Kevin was absolutely amazing to work with and made my planning as a bride carefree. I felt like we were planning with a good friend! Every bride should be as lucky as I was to work with such amazing and caring staff. The venue was impeccable- at the rehearsal, the entire staff was working for hours to make the room perfect. We had bad weather, but I didn't stress because I knew that The Farmhouse would make the ceremony inside just as special. Gabriella was my right hand woman the entire day. She was kind, efficient, professional, and again, made me feel confident that everything would go smoothly. I cried when I saw the main room before the wedding. It was more than I had ever imagined. People say-as cliche as it sounds- that your wedding is the best day of your life. As my husband and I recap 2 days later, we truly believe this saying. I have a large Irish family, where we have attended and thrown many weddings. Numerous family members commented that ours was probably the best so far. The bridal suite is decorated in a timeless and rustic decor- making for beautiful pictures. The VIP room that my husband got ready in, was comfortable and beautiful as well. I gave Kevin 10 boxes of goodies I had collected over the 16 months of us being engaged and told him that I understood if he couldn't get it all out- because there was so much! He told me not to worry- that I had handed it over and he would take care of it. He had an 8 foot table made to display all of the items. Our memory frames, remembering and celebrating those that have passed, the Waterford wedding bowl my mom had given us with an Irish prayer, pictures of us from our relationship, and our memory board, were all displayed beautifully for guests to see and admire. The food was delicious- as always- highlighting the farm-to-table, fresh recipes of the amazing chef and kitchen staff. Again, numerous friends and family commented that their filet mignon was the best wedding steak they had every had. Every last detail was not overlooked or cared for by the staff at The Farmhouse. We feel so lucky to have found this amazing venue and will forever be indebted to them for making our day so special.

I was married at The Farmhouse on Sept 24,2016. I cannot say enough about the staff and service at this venue. My wedding day felt like the most amazing fairytale, and it is very much in part not only to the physical beauty of this venue, but the amazing staff. I am Hindu and my husband is catholic, so we actually had two wedding ceremonies on the same day at this venue. We worked with Jimmy for a year to plan our big Indian/Colombian wedding. Jimmy was so great and really worked with my family to learn all of the Indian traditions that go along with the Hindu ceremony so that they could provide the most perfect setting and amazing food for our wedding....the Hindu wedding was early in the morning at 10am and Jimmy even areanged for someone to open up the venue at 5am for me and my makeup artist to start getting me ready in the bridal suite. The farm to table food was AMAZING! Our family and friends could not stop talking about how good the food was...and so fresh! The chef even cooked excellent Indian food that everyone loved. Kevin and the entire staff really took care of us, our families and all of our guests. I received many compliments on the excellent service. I feel like Jimmy and The Farmhouse staff have become part of our family and I look forward to seeing them again when we go back for our anniversary! I highly recommend this venue...if I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Thank you to Jimmy and everyone at the farmhouse for making our wedding day a dream come true!
