From the reviews

The moment we stepped foot on the grounds at Kalmia or Gastler Farm we both knew it was the space for such a special occasion. The surge of excitement followed by a "can we please take a second look"? prompted us to call the wedding search off...we found it!

Review Gastler farm on a Saturday is the highlight of my weekend- the veggies are so fresh and yummy. This is an amazingly beautiful location!! At this time of year the grounds are breathtaking! Around every corner there is a new surprise of beauty!

We just had my daughters wedding here last night and I cannot begin to express how amazing the staff was in all areas - from beginning to end!! They assisted with wheel chair access, as well as all our every needs. The entire was courteous and attentive to all our guests.

Gastler Farm is a marvel. Flowers, organic farming, meditation garden, more flowers, chamber music when COVID allows. Say hello to Tim and Leah.

Getting married at Gastler Farm

Gastler 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.
