From the reviews
So glad to have found this place! I booked sight unseen for an outdoor birthday party, hoping the weather would be nice mid March (and it was if you're into sunny 20° days). Laura, the owner was very quick and responsive through FB messenger.
This venue is absolutely perfect for a country-style celebration. The team goes above and beyond to turn a barn into a beautiful and unforgettable event space. We hosted a celebration of life with 80 guests and could have fit more. Compliments were abundant (and still coming in) from attendees.
My husband and I took a beginner lesson together for a rare date. The farm has a lovely rustic feel that is calming and picturesque. I know that keeping horses is expensive, yet the farm owners have managed to keep their prices very reasonable.
Susanna Farms was such a treat! We selected them as the venue for a baby shower (hosted in the Big Barn) and could not have been happier with it. The event space was spacious, and the staff was thoughtful and helpful throughout the reservation process and the event day.
Getting married at Susanna Farms
Susanna 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.
