From the reviews
We just celebrated my daughter’s wedding at Ashton Farms this past Saturday! I cannot say enough about this rustic farm venue! The day was absolutely perfect! Wendy and Stuart are beyond warm, welcoming and accommodating! As soon as you pull up the beautiful tree lined driveway, there is a calming, peaceful atmosphere!
One of the most amazingly beautiful venues to host anything from an engagement party, wedding or bridal shower and the likes! Wendy and Stuart run a phenomenal space full of character and history dating back a few hundred years and could not have been better hosts for our engagement party.
This rustic farm wedding was everything of our dreams! We couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of the lovely owners Wendy and Stewart. They not only helped with every detail but actually cared like we were family every step of the way in planning.
Had a great event at Ashton Farm! My family had our Christmas get together last weekend and the barn was absolutely perfect for it! Wendy and her family was very help and responsive throughout the planning and set up. Would absolutely book again and recommend!
Getting married at Ashton Farm
Ashton Farm comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
