Having our wedding at the Farmhouse was the best choice we could have made! Our wedding was Pinterest perfect; the food was DELICIOUS. Chris was fantastic to work with; an officiant, event planner, and bar tender? We rented the second floor (Loft Room) and balcony. We had passed appetizers, Menu Option 1, and late night poutine and snacks, and an open bar. They were so generous with portion sizes, the amount of appetizers that circulated, and the drinks! Everything was amazing, I can't stress it enough. Direct quotes from my guests include: "that was the best food I have ever ever had".."that was the best wedding food I have ever had".."that was the best ceasar I've ever drank"..."that was THE best coconut cream pie I've ever had".."that was the best fried chicken I've ever had in my LIFE." The location is also great, with nearby hotels and the water view. We snuck out with our photographer for some sunset pictures and it was perfect. HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!

Excellent Venue!
This venue was absolutely amazing! The look and feel of the venue was exactly what we were looking for for our small 50 person wedding.Chris answered all of our questions really quickly and ran around all night helping and even our guests commenting on great he was. I would definitely recommend!! We also rented the Air Bnb upstairs which was SO handy to get ready and spend the night after the wedding.

Wedding reception
My husband and I held our reception here, the loft comfortably seated our 80 guests, along with our DJ. The food was incredible, the serving staff were friendly and helpful, and the event coordinator went above and beyond to ensure our night was everything we had hoped it would be. If I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing! Thank you to Chris and the staff at The Farmhouse for an incredible evening!

The best decision!
Sarah and Chris made our day so easy and special! They went out of their way to be accommodating and available for questions and modifications. The location was perfect for what we wanted: an intimate, fun, social evening for our loved ones. Their food is phenomenal and their service is unmatched. Love love love!!

Charming, terrific venue!
We had a great experience working with Chris at The Farmhouse. Everything ran so smoothly, the space was perfect, the service and food were great (especially the appetizers!) - we couldn't have asked for a better day. My partner and I met with Chris multiple times before the big day, and he put us at ease with his enthusiasm and attentiveness. The location across from the water is charming, and there's lots of parking. I would highly recommend this as the perfect rustic, intimate (we had 59 guests) wedding venue.
