weddings
a special place for your special day

We have now hosted a multitude of weddings here at the farm.  For a book of pictures and ideas, please send the goats a message - sweetapplegoats@gmail.com - and they will get you the details. 

Our staff will provide lots of special attention to your special day.  We ask that you make a list and review that list with us to be sure we both understand your special needs.  Some items to discuss include entrance into the barn for the ceremony, special outside decorations, set-up for photographer in different locations throughout the farmstead and much more.  We've even hosted a wedding outside in front of the wishing well!  Here are some basics to start:
April-August September-October
Bridal Party Changing Area Blinds and covers will allow the ladies of the bridal party to use the market under the Bankfront Barn.  The kitchen area of the private residence along with restroom will be made available to the bride and ladies in the wedding party.
Decorating A reservation includes the top of the barn only for decorating purposes after 5PM the evening before the ceremony. Depends on day of event.  Most generally, we will allow decorating any time that day as early as needed.  There is a $50 charge for decorating the evening before.
Photography We welcome and encourage your photographer to visit the farm before the ceremony.  Preferably at the same time of day at which you will be married.  This allows for proper preparation for lighting and any extra equipment (mobile equipment?) that your photographer will need in order to make the best pictures possible.  All areas of the farm are accessible for your pictures.  Most guests prefer the garden areas.
Our Regular Guests The farm will be closed to the general public during your reserved times. Because we are only open to the public during two months of the year, we are unable to close the farm for this time for special events on Saturdays and Sundays.  We can, though, work with you if you are planning a weekday evening or Friday evening event.
Receptions

A quick change over in the main barn takes some time.  This can work or the rental of an additional building (usually Charles & John’s Machine Shed) makes a nice change of pace for the day. Sorry, no alcohol is permitted.  For a map of the grounds
