From the reviews

Went to a wedding here last night and it was absolutely perfect. The space is so well thought out and beautiful. I could not recommend this place more to anyone looking for a wedding venue or event venue. We had both a wedding and rehearsal dinner here and it could not have gone better!

I’m an October 2025 bride, so I haven’t had my wedding day yet. However the experience up to now has been amazing. The owners are so great to work with. They see my vision and are on board with helping me bring it to life. I highly recommend booking this venue. You won’t regret it.

★★★★★ — Kody, Feb 2025

Fireflies Farm was the perfect reception venue for our wedding. We held our ceremony at our church but used Fireflies Farm for everything else: getting ready, first looks, wedding party photos, and our reception. The onsite apartment was spacious, clean, and accommodating.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Jul 2025

I recently hosted a business retreat for my Arbonne team & earlier this year in April hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at Fireflies Farm. Chuck & Lisa Hawke are absolutely AMAZING to work with and we’re so accommodating. They have POURED so much love into every detail of their stunning property.

Getting married at Fireflies Farm

Fireflies 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.
