The General Potter Farm

I could not have been happier with my choice for reception venue. Binky was my main point of contact and she was prompt, professional, and friendly in replying to my emails and texts and was very available to book visits. I was also very happy that she was present on the day of to help everything run smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and gave such a cozy, romantic, and intimate feel with the string lights and natural wood.

I hosted a 50 th birthday party here and from start to finish they were amazing to work with. Binky is so kind and gives you the attention you need every step of the way! She had Amanda there the night of our event and she was so helpful and so pleasant to work with! Thank you for letting us celebrate at such a beautiful place ❤️

General Potter Farm provided us with the perfect barn setting I had been dreaming of for our wedding! We loved the cozy barn setting, updated with A/C and indoor bathrooms. The grounds are beautiful and it’s so kind of Binky to allow couples to take pictures on her beautiful porch as well! The whole setting gave us the rustic, romantic feel I was searching for. We loved their flexibility and that we were lucky enough to be able to reserve the farm for the full weekend of our wedding. It was so helpful to be able to bring our decor over the day of our rehearsal, and tear down the day after. We held our ceremony in the downstairs and our reception in the upstairs and are really happy with our choice! The stone walls and exposed beams in the downstairs made our ceremony with about 150 guests feel intimate. With the help of our florist (Lisa from Woodrings), the downstairs was transformed into a magical and cozy space. The reception space upstairs required very little decor which we appreciated- the space is beautiful to start with! It’s so nice that much of the lighting upstairs is already in place and cute. Through the work of our florist, the addition of some sheer curtains, flowers, and candles, really made the space gorgeous. We are so glad we decided to hold our whole wedding day at General Potter Farm; it was wonderful to stay in one place and not worry about traveling between the ceremony and reception, and the farm offered more than enough space for all of our guests to easily park onsite. We found the barn’s back room to be so helpful as we were getting ready and preparing for the day, and it was great to have the kitchen right next to where we put our buffet. Although it took some creative planning, we were able to fit 150 guests at long rectangle tables, a circle bride and groom table, gift tables, decor tables, buffet tables, drink tables, AND a large dance floor area in the upstairs of the barn. It was so helpful to already have a built-in bar area in the upstairs. Although we did a ton of set-up and tear-down ourselves, with the help of our amazing family and friends, we felt it was so worth it to be able to customize the space so much. General Potter Farm does not provide rental items such as tables, chairs, tablecloths, curtains, glasses, etc., but all of the vendors we worked with were familiar with General Potter, which was helpful. Even though it was a bit of work on our end to figure out all the rentals ourselves, we appreciated the great value of General Potter Farm and being able to customize our day. I really don’t think you could rent a whole barn for a whole weekend anywhere else for the price we were given, let alone such a beautiful space as General Potter. Binky was great to work with and we appreciated the connections General Potter has with many local vendors!

We are SO HAPPY with our choice of General Potter Farm for our wedding venue. We held both our ceremony and reception at General Potter Farm. The barn and surrounding area is so lovely. Something I loved about GPF was how beautiful the barn looks without any decoration at all. They always have string lights up in the rafters, which is such a nice touch. There was also a ladder & chandelier above the area where our sweetheart table. There is a very spacious backroom that we used as both the rehearsal dinner space and the bridal suite for getting ready. The downstairs area of the barn is also amazing and we held our cocktail hour there. We initially planned to have an outdoor ceremony behind the barn (Plan A was down by the stream the runs nearby, but recent rains made it too muddy/buggy to be an option for our early Sept wedding) but due to some last minute rain, we had to move our ceremony inside. Many couples hold their indoor ceremony in the downstairs area, which looks incredible with plenty of lighting. Since our switch to inside was so last minute, we decided to hold the ceremony on the dancefloor area upstairs and have guests are their dinner tables. It actually worked out very well and the late afternoon lighting was perfect. For all the on-site visits, we met with Binky who owns GPF. She was so kind and great to work with & provided a lot of helpful insight in the layout of tables and how to set up the space. When I would email or call, I typically spoke with Lori, who was also incredible helpful. The only hitch I would say was on our wedding day we were expecting to have Binky on-site, but it turned out to be Lisa (who is also one of the main three ladies that run GPF). I think Lisa did a nice job, but I hadn't established any connection with her prior to the day (tough since she didn't know me or my vision of the day). I just wish I had met her earlier in the process to make the day smoother. Overall I loved our wedding at GPF!
