The Farms Country Club was perfect for my wedding venue! You don't have to be a member to have your wedding here, but they treat you like a VIP! So many venues quote the "price" pe...
r guest, then add the note that this does not include taxes or gratuity. The Farms quotes all costs up-front, as the price. There was no need to do additional math. No hidden fees. Throughout my entire time planning, Kristi answered all of my questions. She helped with special requests like a table needed for the ceremony, an easel needed for a sign, did they have any hair/makeup/bakery suggestions, suggested table layout, etc. Anything I was unsure of, Kristi was happy to talk it over with me! Richard was kind and welcoming when we toured the facility. Once we booked the venue, my (now) husband and I got to have a date night to try the food. It was DELICIOUS. We choose a plated dinner for our reception. Another thing I appreciated about the wedding package from The Farms was that it included the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They don't nickel and dime you on setup or tear down. They are EXTREMELY helpful throughout the entire day. Stephanie was available to help me the entire day, like my own personal assistant (Kristi was busy handling the setup, coordinating The Farms staff, directing my vendors as they arrived, and making sure everything went off without a hitch). I cannot tell you how much myself, my husband, and my friends and family appreciated ALL of the help The Farms gave us throughout the wedding day. Everyone we interacted with was professional, kind, welcoming, so pleasant to be around. The club members were a hoot, too! They congratulated us, wished us well, and made us feel just as welcome. It's an absolutely wonderful place to be, honestly. The food for dinner was out of this world. We had multiple guests with dietary restrictions, and they handled them all beautifully. The one or two minor food requests that were missed were corrected immediately, with no fuss, as soon as requested. Therefore, I don't see this as a negative - we're all human, there is a LOT going on, and the minor things needing adjusting were taken care of in a polite and timely manner. This is a POSITIVE. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without all the support The Farms provided for us. They are phenomenal. I'd choose them over and over again. All my guests told me how much they loved the venue, the food, the atmosphere. I cannot say enough good things about using The Farms as my venue. I'll sing their praises over and over again to anyone who will listen.

My now husband and I could not express how grateful we are to have worked with The Farms for our wedding day. We booked them 2 years out (in 2023).
Their all inclusive pricing was...
fair and there truly were no hidden charges (all taxes and service charges are included in the per head price). That really allowed us to have a secure budget to start with.
Kristi (the event coordinator) is truly amazing. She was always available for questions and she made sure everything went seamlessly from the planning all the way through the event itself.
We are still getting compliments on the food from our guests. Everything we had was delicious. I’m happy we did a buffet style dinner so I got to have a little of everything! The cocktail hour apps and pasta station were amazing as well. We really loved everything we had.
The venue staff are kind and professional. They set up everything exactly how I requested or better than I imagined! They took care of organizing and boxing everything up at the end of the night too.
The bridal suite was the perfect way to start the day. It made everything so easy to get ready and have the wedding at the same location. We had plenty of time to get ready and it’s a beautiful space.
We had an early September wedding, so we had our ceremony outside on the first tee box. It was perfect! They cut off tee times an hour before and an hour after your ceremony, so no worries about having golfers waiting and in pictures! The back up rain plan would’ve been on their 3 season deck, which is also a nice space.
I could honestly go on and on about how happy we were with every part of this venue. We are so grateful and thankful for Kristi and her team!!

We booked The Farms for our wedding on 11/5/22 and we are so glad we did! The grounds are beautiful and they have several options for photos and the ceremony, and even schedule tee...
times to accommodate the ceremony. They were very reasonably priced and were incredibly easy to work with - especially Kristi and Izzy. We dealt mostly with Kristi leading up to the wedding and she was always very responsive to my emails as I would periodically email her questions (I was a type A bride) and she did our detailing. She was absolutely awesome. The day of our wedding we worked with Izzy and Kristi and they both were extremely accommodating throughout the day (we chose to use their bridal suite to get ready). Izzy was so on top of things and even helped us pack up our decorations for us to come pick up the next day! She was so organized and helpful. The food was awesome and we received so many compliments from our guests about the food, how everything flowed so well and all of the little details, including the pre ceremony refreshments for guests. For our buffet, if a tray of food was getting low they would have a new one out immediately. We truly credit The Farms for many of the reasons why our wedding day was as great as it was. We honestly can’t say enough good things about them!! Highly highly recommend!!

Stunning venue and super amazing staff. Helped me bring my dream wedding to life. Kristi is the BEST!
I couldn’t rave more about this place. My now husband and I were so impressed...
with the farms. Even my guests raved about how amazing the staff was, beautiful the venue was, and just how amazing it was!!
I also have celiac disease so having a gluten free wedding was a huge part and they absolutely worked with me on the menu and made it happen. This was an absolute blessing. I didn’t get sick and they were so accommodating and we had pasta, crackers, and normally “gluten” items on our menu.

Thank you so much for such your wonderful review. Planning your...
gluten free wedding was so much fun and a first for us to host an entirely gluten free wedding. You and your family/friends are incredibly sweet and know how to have a great time. We wish you lifelong happiness and love!
All the best to you both,

From our first interaction with Richard, we had a great feeling about this venue, and after getting married this weekend, we were proven right. The support from Richard, Kristi, an...
d Bridget leading up to and on the day of our wedding exceeded all expectations. They were excited for any custom requests and worked with us to make the whole day run so smoothly. We had a buffet dinner service and everyone has been raving over the food (not just great wedding food, but great food period) and were stunned by the service, never sitting with an empty water glass. Just knowing that any question we had, big or small, Richard was always so quick to respond whether by text or email was such a comfort in the lead up to the big day. Cannot recommend highly enough, and a huge thanks to the Farms CC Wedding team from Josh and Yuna LaRue - 6.25.22

About a month later I’m finally able to sit down to write a wedding venue review for The Farms. Our day couldn’t have been a more wonderful experience. If you’re looking at wedding...
venues that have it all.... this is your place. Planning was a breeze with Richard and his ability to answer any question and mind you, very QUICKLY. I sent him an email once and he called me and said do you have my cell phone, please text or call here I will answer immediately&any time of day, he wasn’t lying.
We decided to have our rehearsal dinner at The Farms as well the night before the wedding and if that was any indication of how the following day would go, we were in for a treat.
On the day of, we showed up early in the morning for what we thought would be needed for setting up centerpieces and the arbor, the dessert table, etc. WRONG. To our shock everything was taken care of and the details were set up better than I could have done myself! Maggie was by our side all day long, lucky her! She was beyond accommodating to our group of girls hanging out, getting ready in the BEAUTIFUL bridal suite. Having that space to be in the morning of was actually what made me calm; it was peaceful, elegant and comfortable at the same time.
Our outdoor ceremony was set up absolutely perfect, even if it did drizzle a little bit, but the country club even made a point to say they’d been watching the radar and we had a small window of time before the big rain was headed our way. These are the details you need on the day of, your venue and someone else to worry about that, not the bride!
Needless to say, we had a quick ceremony and proceeded to shuffle the guests inside just as the skies opened up for cocktail hour. Having the covered deck for this part of the day was extremely accommodating. People were still able to hang out and enjoy the hors d’oeuvres and cocktails outdoors but not worry about the rain. I should mention when we looked at the venue the first time, they didn’t have the covered deck, to our surprise when we showed up for a tasting one night, they had added the cover and it absolutely just added to our perfect day! A detail, again, we didn’t know we needed.
Our reception went off perfectly from the set up of the table layout, the food being absolutely phenomenal and the service we received from all the staff. Still a month later when I see people who were guests at my wedding, we always talk about the food and how wonderful it was. I was super skeptical to have a buffet for my wedding but it was the best way to have the most options food wise for all to be happy with. We couldn’t have loved our food choices and options more. We even had dishes on the buffet and hors d’oeuvres that weren’t necessarily options on the guideline menu but again, they accommodated us for what we loved.
The Farms was a perfect venue for our big day and we wish we could relive it all again! Wedding planning can get out of hand, based on details and even money, but if you’re looking for a venue that has it all but doesn’t exactly break your wallet, please consider this venue. You only have one shot at your big day, THE FARMS will be there to make it beyond what you could imagine.
Thank you to Richard, Maggie, and all the staff at The Farms!!

Tom were so nice and fun to work with. You were the FIRST to use our new Wedding Suite so we're happy you liked it. Actually you were also the first big party to use the new awning and have the pool side rehearsal dinner this year too! We look forward to seeing the pictures next. We really do strive to make sure we make weddings as stress free and enjoyable for the couple, so we're just thrilled to see our goals come to fruition by making you so happy! We wish you and Tom a lifetime of happiness together! Thanks again for choosing The Farms Country Club and giving us a great review!

From our very first visit to The Farms, we were in love. Out of duty, we visited a few other venues before making our final decision to hold our wedding here. Richard and staff are...
absolutely amazing and accommodating. The grounds are stunning, the food and drinks are delicious, and the bridal suite is absolutely breathtaking! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and so many of our guests made it a point to say how wonderful all the venue staff was and how much they enjoyed the food. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision to host our wedding at The Farms. Any couples considering your options OWE it to themselves to take a tour! You will not be disappointed, and it is surprisingly affordable to boot. We’ll be coming down off the high of our May 2021 wedding for years. Thank you Richard and staff!

The grounds are beautiful and the photos we got so far came out AMAZING! All of the staff were so kind and went out of their way to help my guests feel comfortable. Our guests keep telling us how delicious the food was, from the cocktail hour to the dinner! The Chef is AWESOME, he even met with us personally when we came in for dinner and asked us about our favorite foods which was so thoughtful. I would 100% recommend booking your wedding or event at The Farms!
