“Absolutely gorgeous place and delicious food for my cousins wedding and reception”

From the reviews

We went there for the Nativity. They had the streets of Bethlehem with vendors and activities for everyone. The play was beautiful with music. And they had live animals, camel, lamas, donkeys, sheep, baby cow, and more. Very friendly people. This was the second year we went, and it was AWESOME!

My daughter and her husband had their wedding & reception here October 2022. This was the PERFECT place for her dream wedding! Julia is very responsive, helpful, informative, and sweet! Everything went so smoothly.

★★★★★ — Anita, Aug 2023

Attended a nice wedding at the event center. The place was nicer than I expected. Nice bathrooms, nice decor. I understand that there is a honeymoon suite and bunk rooms for the groomsmen and bridesmaids. The venue was rustic but nice. It was on a working farm with good parking.

★★★★★ — Robert, Oct 2024

Great place with lots of options to choose from for where to have a wedding ceremony. Fantastic kitchen. Nice bathrooms, huge area for guest seating and dancing. It has everything all in 1 place.

Getting married at The Bean Farm

The Bean 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.
