The setting
“Simons Island, and we were able to take advantage of it to make two wedding receptions with very different vibes, but both perfectly elegant each in its own way.”
Amenities couples mention
“The inside is so gorgeous it doesn't need any decorating, the patio is perfect for cocktail hour and the lawn is perfect for an outdoor ceremony.”
“The dance floor was big enough to accommodate our large group for hours.”
“The wedding was outside with a fabulous backdrop of the water (with nice seating), and then they had cocktails on the covered patio area and the reception and dinner inside.”

From the reviews
I attending a wedding reception. It has just one indoor space (with and outdoor lawn. So I don't see a wedding being successful unless it's small. Limited parking is a negative. But they ran a golf cart to take you from your car and back. Nice. The employees were all friendly and managers seemed on top of things.
We recently attended a wedding at Forbes Farm. The place is absolutely gorgeous. The wedding was outside with a fabulous backdrop of the water (with nice seating), and then they had cocktails on the covered patio area and the reception and dinner inside. The food was great.
I have a bit of an odd story as to how I ended up here, as I was not invited to a wedding, nor did I have my own wedding here. To keep it frank, my friend and I delivered a couple of Brussels Griffin to a stranger’s wedding for some quick cash.
What a terrific event venue! Beautifully designed, excellent service and the ability to frame an event any way one wants/needs. It is new, a great destination and committed ownership. This is a needed addition to the Sea Island/St Simons community and will be incredibly successful.
Getting married at Forbes Farm
Forbes 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.
Corporate events & private parties at Forbes Farm
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Forbes Farm — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
