Absolutely! We take care of all the heavy lifting and intricate details. We will have all furniture set-up to your preferred table layout and all decor and table settings set prior to your arrival for the rehearsal on Friday. We offer as many site visits as preferred throughout the planning process, with an extensive finalization planning meeting 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding, where we go over your final desired floor plan, in-house decor choices, timelines, ceremony song choices, and preferences for your wedding day.
Our Stable Barn is most comfortably suited for 100 guests.
In November and December, we keep the events to a maximum of 50 guests as we rely more heavily on our indoor spaces.

So, whether you're looking for a classic cocktail or local craft beer, we have you covered with a great selection on our Bar Menu. We believe that every drink should be a visual masterpiece, which is why we serve all of our cocktails and beverages in only the finest glassware. (no red-solo cups around here🙈)

We also offer a complimentary coffee and tea station.
Absolutely! An open bar is a wonderful way to elevate your guests’ experience, if it fits within your budget. Our upgraded open bar package is priced at $74 per guest and includes:
We keep the bar open throughout the celebration — even during dinner — because we know some guests prefer a different beverage than wine with their dinner.

We do not provide catering service at The Farmstead but can provide recommendations for excellent local caterers. With our newly re-structured pricing, we provide at no charge complimentary in-house high-quality dishes and flatware. This also includes table setting prior to the event and table clearing. You will need a catering package that includes the preparation and serving of food to guests—buffet or plated service is welcome. The table water service and tea and coffee station are provided by the venue, so you will not need to arrange for your caterer to provide these.
To reserve the date for your wedding, a non-refundable deposit of $3000 will be required, as well as a signed contract.
