From the reviews
Wonderful venue! I’d give 20 stars if I could! My cousin was married there recently and it was such a great experience. Owner and staff were great. The food for the rehearsal and wedding was perfect. I love that it’s made in house. Also stunning views:)
My wife and i were married here. I cant believe it took me almost 4 years to write a review. This place made our wedding an absolute dream. The owners were amazing and were very accommodating. We looked at about 10 different locations and this venue had the view of a lifetime not to mention a beautiful building.
We are a DJ company that has been here several times. Every time we go, we have an incredible experience. The food, the staff, and of course the beautiful farm never disappoint. I always get excited when I have a couple at this venue because I know they will have a great experience.
If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, organized, has delicious food, and built in entertainment (hello adorable animals and yard games) - this is the place. We had our wedding here and WOW what an incredible experience. Forever grateful for Kristy, Bob, Diana, Hannah, and the rest of the staff at Walker.
Getting married at Walker Homestead Farm and Winery
Walker Homestead Farm and Winery 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.
