A Perfect Wedding!

My son and daughter-in-law booked this venue for their wedding. The second floor is the perfect intimate reception space, they offer a list of officiants as well so can be an all in one ceremony and reception space if that's what you need. Excellent choices for appetizers, entrees and dessert. And although it's hard to be perfect when serving a big crowd, the food was delicious.
What sets this place apart is the people. I cannot say enough about Michael and his staff. From the beginning of the planning process to the event and beyond, Michael was professional, accommodating and truly went over and above to make sure the wedding was perfect in every way. He was present for the entire event, overseeing every detail and always with a smile. From set up to clean up, he was truly amazing. Give this man a raise!!
They are very flexible about table arrangement and set up, you'll get exactly the look you want.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this for your wedding venue.
FYI there is a gorgeous Airbnb for rent on the top floor which makes getting ready for the wedding so convenient.
Thank you again for a perfect day!

Fairytale Wedding at the Farmhouse

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!

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.
