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.

Excellent food and rustic feel

I would recommend the farmhouse if you are looking for a more laid back comfortable feel for a smaller size wedding. We rented the semi private room, it seats 25 but I think it was a little tight I'd say 20 would be more comfortable and perfect. They provide some of the linen and can does and they also can hook your playlist to the sound system so you can play your own music which I found very useful. The staff are very accommodating and the if you contact them about inquiry of a wedding they are very responsive and they will also book meetings to help plan and get the wedding you want. We enjoyed the food it was very delicious, they also have a vegetarian option I believe it was couliflower steak. I never did ant taste testing prior but I didn't have to the food was cooked perfect. The wedding does end at ten when the restaurant closes, kind of early but there isn't a dance floor so no need to be there until 12. We had a good time I would recommend them

The Farmhouse's reply:

Thanks for the great review Miranda! Small note though, we will stay open for larger weddings 50+ and we can make a dance floor on the second floor for larger weddings as well!

Our dream wedding!

The Farmhouse was the perfect venue for our small, intimate and laid back wedding. We had 65 people in the Loft room on the 2nd floor and it was the perfect setting for our group. Chris is so great to work with, he is very responsive and was accommodating to all of our requests. All of our guests kept saying how delicious the food was and the bar service was excellent. We had the balcony for the night which was perfect for the guests who wanted to sit outside and enjoy the view and we cleared some of the tables to have a dance floor for everyone who wanted to stay inside and dance. It was the perfect wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience The Farmhouse provided for us!
