    Amazing Venue!

    We had our wedding on August 20th, 2022 at the Vine House and Courtyard. We had 2 outdoor bars for guests during the afternoon and a games area which everyone loved. James and Rhonalyn went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly and made the day run perfectly. We hired the in-house Caterer Crave Cartel and the food was was absolutely amazing! Our guests have all raved about how great the day was and we would highly recommend the Cork and Crate for any event!

    Perfect Day!

    We had an incredible wedding day at Cork & Crate Farms. James & Rhonalyn had everything ready to go for us to set up and they were so caring to help make our day special! What a gorgeous venue, we couldn't have chosen a better place. We loved that we could get ready for the first look & take all our photos there, with such lush & beautiful areas to choose from. Our favourite part of our evening wedding was the opportunity to visit with all our guests in different capacities - from under the lights of the tent, playing horseshoes or on Whiskey Hill! We wouldn't have changed a thing about our special day. Thank you so much Cork & Crate Farms - you truly made our day better than we could have imagined!!
