From the reviews

The venue is amazing!! We had the privilege of hosting our wedding at Elk River Farms May 2024. Pam and Todd helped the entire way!!! They are absolutely amazing. We kept in contact for months and I was even allowed to plan a visit so that we can map out everything and look at decorations.

Beautiful venue and amazing owners! We had our baby shower here. The barn is beautiful, as well as the outside area to use if needed. I love that they have tons of decor you can choose from to use for your special event. Highly recommend this venue!!

Getting married at Elk River Farm

Elk River Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. 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.
