From the reviews
My sister had her wedding here and the whole experience was amazing. Would definitely recommend for weddings and other events.
I photographed 3 weddings here so far. I love this venue! Its so beautiful and seems pretty easy going compared to other places. I really enjoy doing weddings here.
We had our wedding here and had a great time. Beautiful grounds and an overall had the looks for the wedding we wanted. Only downfall was that right after our ceremony, the house part of the grounds was on lock-down for the rest of the night.
Had my wedding & reception here. The venue was incredible. The only note I have for management is communication could have been better. But other than that, they did a great job and I would recommend this place to anyone.
Getting married at Kettering Polen Farm
Kettering Polen 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.
