From the reviews
Our wedding at 1868 Farmhouse was a wonderful experience. The venue's peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained grounds provided a perfect setting for our special day. The entire staff at 1868 was exceptional, but we want to give a special shoutout to Allyson, our day-of-coordinator.
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better pair to work with or more beautiful venue for our wedding! Debbie and Allyson were detailed, attentive, and allowed us to really make the day and space our own.
The 1868 Farmhouse is outstanding. They are doing it right! We initially went to visit the venue back in the fall of 2020. At that time, they still hadn't had their first official wedding, but I was 100% in love. I knew from the moment I stepped out of the car this was going to be the place we got married.
I was blown away from the beginning with the quality, service, and care that we were shown by 1868 Farmhouse. We felt so welcome and loved when we first met Debbie at our venue tour. They have an incredible atmosphere and staff that were all so wonderful to work with from day one.
Getting married at The 1868 Farmhouse Wedding Venue
The 1868 Farmhouse Wedding Venue 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.
