The Perfect Venue for Our Wedding Day

We absolutely loved this venue! It gave us the freedom to pick everything we wanted and decorate it exactly how we envisioned. For a wedding of about 100 people, it was the perfect size, cozy, tucked away in a corner, with amazing lighting and plenty of space. Our guests could sit comfortably, dance, enjoy games outside, or just relax on the patio.

The venue owners, Tania, Dave, and Feddie, were an absolute delight to work with. They were quick to answer questions, so accommodating, and even helped us wrap things up at the end of the night. After having a terrible experience elsewhere, their support truly meant the world to us.

We’d highly recommend this venue. It fit within our budget, had great amenities (with even more improvements on the way as it’s a newer venue), and offered incredible spots for photos. Every time we visited, we noticed upgrades, so it can only get better from here.

A quick note: this is a mostly DIY-style venue. If you’re not the type to enjoy planning or organizing vendors, I’d suggest hiring a wedding planner. Personally, I loved having the freedom to choose all the details and decorate on my own, it made the day even more personal.

No complaints at all. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a flexible, beautiful, and welcoming place to celebrate their wedding.

Beautiful venue


We had the most incredible experience at Lavender ridge farm for our wedding! The farm is absolutely stunning — from the lavender fields and charming barn to the beautifully maintained patio, every corner offered the perfect backdrop for our special day. It truly felt like something out of a fairytale.

What made it even more special were the owners, particularly Tania! They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. From the first visit to the day of the wedding, they were always available to answer questions, offer helpful suggestions, and go above and beyond to accommodate our needs. You can really tell they care about what they do and the couples they host.

If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with heartfelt hospitality, I can’t recommend Lavender ridge farm enough. It was everything we dreamed of and more!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
