If you want a beautiful, smooth wedding day- look no further! Allyson, Debbie & all the staff from the bartenders to the bus driver were excellent. This place IS the total package. Communication was consistent and helpful from day 1 of booking up until the end of the reception. You really get what you pay for here! The decor, the staff, the advice and assistance. They know weddings and they know them well. They took a beautiful home and gave us all this amazing venue to use and enjoy. Thank you all!! 🫶🏻

We cannot believe the amount of love and care we received from Allyson, Debbie, and Rick. Our entire weekend was stress-free and so much fun! We are so thankful for the time and effort they all put in to make everything what it was. Debbie is one of the sweetest people I have ever met! I am so appreciative for the clear communication through the entire process. From beginning to end all questions were answered and our final details were executed perfectly! We have heard so many comments from family and friends on how amazing the team at 1868 Farmhouse is and how insanely beautiful the grounds are - my husband and I agree, that’s why we went with them! Weddings can be so stressful, and I love being able to say I didn’t ever feel stressed throughout our entire preparation process.

You all did so much for me, my husband, and our entire family. We are forever grateful for everything you all did to make our day so perfect! Thank you!

I cannot even put into words how amazing the 1868 Farmhouse Venue is! Allyson, Debbie, and their team made our day run so smooth. Weather became a scare but they put our minds at ease immediately and it ended up being such a beautiful day! The whole team provided so many great experiences for our guests and our guests could not stop telling us how beautiful the venue was and how awesome the staff were… even days after our wedding day too. From the beautiful ceremony space, big reception space and porches, to the amazing bridal suite and groom lounge. There are so many different options for photo opportunities too! We really appreciated their advice from all of our questions, helping out with our catering, all of their help with our decoration set up, and just how welcomed they made us feel. It was such a stress free day and again, cannot put into word how amazing the day and venue were. I will forever recommend The 1868 Farmhouse Venue!

We could not be happier with our choice of venue for our wedding. When you choose 1868, you are guaranteed a beautiful, seamless, and memorable wedding day! Their decor inventory is by far the most underrated parts of the package! We used their decor entirely and felt like that took a lot of the weight off our shoulders! We got a lot of compliments from our guests regarding the 1868 staff as they are very friendly, efficient, and hard working. You will not regret choosing 1868!

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.

Allyson was incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive throughout the entire planning process. The communication leading up to the wedding was excellent, and we felt confident that everything was under control. Her expertise and guidance ensured that everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. Thanks to Allyson's coordination and the work of the staff at 1868, we didn't have to worry about any of the logistics, such as decorating or keeping guests on schedule. This allowed us to truly relax and cherish every moment.

We highly recommend 1868 Farmhouse to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding venue.

I cannot even begin to express how awesome The 1868 Farmhouse is! Allyson, Debbie, and their staff are wonderful and help all the wedding things go so well! We borrowed most of our decor from them and it all went together so nicely. Not only do they set up the decor you use from their inventory, they continue to move things around throughout the night for you. We had both our ceremony and reception indoors, We never had to make sure tables were being moved/set up because they took care of EVERYTHING--even restocking the cocktail hour snack/dessert table so all of our guests could enjoy the day!! We received so many compliments about the decor and flow of the day and that is SO MUCH credit to The 1868 Farmhouse Crew! Throughout the wedding planning process, Allyson is so easy to get in touch with, she answered all my questions, and was so flexible with any requests I had.
The getting ready suites were perfect, my bridesmaids and I spent the night before the wedding together to allow for such a slow and easy morning. Again, I cannot express how great this venue is!!

My husband and I got married on May 25, 2024 at the 1868 Farmhouse Venue, and it was the most perfect day of our lives!

The Farmhouse was the first venue we looked at, and then it quickly became the ONLY one we looked at. Immediately viewing the venue, we both knew it was the one. The owners Debby and Allyson were so kind hearted and instantly made us feel like family. They showed us the entire place and answered all of our questions. They had everything we were wanting and more! They had so much to offer with the venue which made it way less stressful. The year leading up to the wedding day was stress free! They always emailed us back, answering all of our questions and always making accommodations for us to make our dream wedding come to life!

The day of the wedding was perfect from beginning to end. Debby handled everything and made sure the entire day was stress free. She decorated the venue more beautifully than I could have ever imagined! The day was absolutely magical and went so smoothly. The entire bridal party and guests were so impressed and said how perfect the venue was and the wedding! We are so thankful for the 1868 Farmhouse and the amazing people who made the day perfect! We will cherish the memories from our special day for the rest of our lives!

1868 farmhouse was the last venue that my husband and I toured and I’m glad we waited! We were running out of options and the second we drove up to the venue, I just knew in my heart that this was going to be the place I get married. I can’t even begin to thank the people that were involved. Allyson is an absolute angel from heaven. She was so amazing and so willing to help answer any questions I had leading up to the wedding & she connected us with Sarah (thee best wedding coordinator ever!). Debbie and Rick were so helpful during rehearsals and the day of the wedding. Not only did they see our vision, but they elevated it! So many of our guests complimented the place and the people. They all had such a wonderful time.

Future brides, it’s not just about the venue. It’s the people. Allyson, Debbie, and Rick are literal gems and the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They will do anything to make your weekend memorable and running smoothly!
