From the reviews
Sam & Wendy are the kindest, most helpful people my wife and I have ever met! Our wedding was beautiful beyond our imagination and everything went so smoothly. From the kickoff of meeting them, viewing the venue, and planning out how things would work out, they knew how things should operate.
New Branch Farms is a dream wedding venue! I cried when we toured it because we instantly knew that this was our wedding venue. I have not seen a more beautiful venue, as it has a rustic charm while being open and modern.
An absolutely amazing venue for a quaint family wedding. Sam and Wendy personalize your wedding to ensure it feels like home and a true family atmosphere. The venue is beautiful with a pond, ample outdoor seating and even amazing farm animals!
As a DJ entertainment company, we've played at countless venues, and New Branch Farms truly stands out. The owners, Wendy and Sam, are absolutely amazing to work with. They're incredibly sweet, accommodating, and genuinely care about making every event run smoothly. From a DJ’s perspective, their venue is a dream.
Getting married at New Branch Farms
New Branch Farms 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 New Branch Farms
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at New Branch Farms — 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.
