We had the most beautiful fall wedding at the Farm Road Estate. The venue and grounds are absolutely magical, the food is 5 star status and the service is top notch. Taylor was extremely professional & communicative during the planning process while simultaneously making us feel like family. She paid attention to every last detail and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Our guests are still talking about how unique our wedding was and already planning to come back to visit the Farm Road Estate next fall! We had the most intimate ceremony in the \"Enchanted Forest\" surrounded by nature with our family and closest friends...it's beauty like no other. The main dining hall is stunning and rustic, the speak easy downstairs is super cool with it's old world charm, and roasting smores fireside was added fun loved by our guests. If you are looking for a romantic venue, with amazing food, exquisite service and special/unique features Farm Road Estate is for you! Reviewed on 29-12-2023

Farm Road Estate is pure magic! Where to begin for this review...We had an Indian-Western fusion wedding which included a fully Hindu ceremony (complete with a mandap, stage, and fire), a full property buyout, a Sangeet/rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks, vegetarian menu, and manyyyy espresso martinis for over 200 guests. FRE rocked the entire weekend.The property itself is gorgeous with a number of Inn rooms, private suites, and houses our guests loved. There are also three Inns across the street (walking distance!) for overflow. Randi and Christa were reliable and patient as we assigned reserved rooms and then continued to make changed right up until the day of arrival. Our Sangeet, rehearsal dinner, and welcome drinks took place inside (the Great Room, bar, and dining rooms) on Friday, and our ceremony and reception took place outside by the water under beautiful tents on Saturday and a karaoke afterparty back inside. We were able to fit 200+ guests with plenty of room for a stage, DJ, dhol player, henna artist, and dancing. The food and drinks are fantastic! We opted for buffet style small plates on Friday, and a fully vegetarian family-style meal on Saturday. The Chef was patient and open to our ideas and direction. He developed a creative and delicious menu - our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. In general, we just cannot say enough great things about this venue. The staff - the bartenders, servers, housekeeping staff, grounds staff were all fantastic and always ready to jump right in and help. Taylor, the Director of Special Events, is such a pleasure to work with and made us feel SO supported throughout the planning process. She's knowledgeable, organized, creative, hardworking and overall badass at her job! Thank you, FRE! We <3 you and can't wait to come back for a visit soon. Reviewed on 11-12-2023

We had our wedding at Farm Road Estates in late September, and it was truly an incredible site. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is wonderful, the food is delicious, the grounds are stunning - I could go on and on. Taylor, the venue coordinator, was a dream to work with and made us feel so welcomed and supported through the process. We were able to do everything onsite - rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and breakfast the next morning - and that made planning and day-of logistics SO easy. Our guests loved being so close to every event and we had many people tell us this was the best wedding venue they'd ever been to. Overall, everyone at FRE was wonderful to work with and happy to customize the wedding weekend to exactly what we envisioned - the flexibility and adaptability (rather than a cookie cutter approach) was just one of the many things we loved! Highly recommend FRE - we can't wait to visit again without the pressures of a wedding! Reviewed on 24-10-2023

Our happy placeFarm Road Estate created a fairytale come true for our daughter’s wedding. It was a magical weekend for all. Our guests stayed on the breath-taking property. All the rooms and cottages are gorgeously decorated in farmhouse style and filled with all the amenities that you desire.We were hoping for a picture-perfect sunny day, but Mother Nature wasn’t having it. FRE quickly went to plan B, moving the ceremony and cocktails indoors to the beautiful and intimate great room. It was filled with charm, warmth, and love. The party was in their beautiful pavilion with chandlers, string lights, farm tables, and more. FRE went above and beyond our expectations, making our daughter's dream wedding come true. Little touches didn’t go unnoticed—there was a chill in the air, and they went around giving blankets to those who were cold. Taylor, Michael, Kelly, and the staff were attentive to all our needs and made us part of their family. Our guests were wowed by the exceptionally delicious food, and the chef’s presentation was perfection! Thank you, Farm Road Estate! Reviewed on 01-10-2023
Kristina Cilento(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 When we first toured Farm Road Estate I had the “this is the place” feeling, and am so glad that we didn’t look back!! We chose FRE for the stunning scenery, the lodgings that allowed our family traveling from NY and NJ to get cozy for the whole weekend, and for the incredible service, amenities and FOOD. My husband and I have been vegan for many years and the chef, Chris didn’t flinch at getting creative to not only accommodate our vegan options, but CRUSH them- there was something for everyone and our guests absolutely raved about the food. We worked with Jess VanOrt, who was our wedding coordinator, who went above and beyond to help us stay organized and see through each and every detail that made the day so, so special. We absolutely loved working with her throughout the process and the day honestly probably would’ve collapsed without her. Randi from the front desk was also a highlight. So many of our family and guests commented on how kind, understanding and easy to work with she was, while they planned for the weekend and checked in. I was able to have the earthy, grounded, twinkly ethereal wedding of my dreams surrounded by nature and very happy people that I love, and I couldn’t imagine our day anywhere else! We look forward to spending many anniversaries visiting and dining at FRE! Reviewed on 20-11-2022
Sara Cirioni(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2022 We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend.

Katherine Demasi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-08-2022 When I pictured my wedding, Farm Road Estate was everything and more. Our goal was to have our wedding somewhere that we could get married outside, enjoy the beauty of Vermont, and where our guests could stay on site. Essentially our wedding weekend was like a grown up sleep away at the most beautiful spot with our dearest friends!From the beginning FRE staff did not disappoint - they welcomed us so warmly when we came to look at the venue (the coziness of the Inn really sold us during our gray November visit), throughout the process Jess, our wedding coordinator was kind, responsive, and we truly felt like we were in great hands, which we were! People cannot say enough good things about our wedding - the food was amazing, the staff were wonderful, and the setting and accommodations you just can't beat.10/10 get married here :) Reviewed on 16-09-2022
Kate Grochowski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 My husband and I got married at Farm Road Estate in June and it could not have been a more beautiful day. Farm Road Estate is the perfect venue for what we were searching for in a Wedding Weekend. The ability to have all of our guests stay with us at the venue, after not being able to see everyone for so long was incredible. Everyone at the venue was so easy to talk to and helpful in making our wedding so fun and memorable. Every detail was accounted for. The food was incredible and the rooms were so comfortable and relaxing. As any Bride and Groom know, you are so in the moment and so busy during your wedding, it is so important to have a venue that helps you with all the details, and makes sure everything is moving according to plan. Farm Road Estate does just that. We have so many wonderful memories, and the property is absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends continue to tell us how much fun they had. We definitely recommend this venue to all couples! Reviewed on 21-07-2022
Sarah Iosue(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2022 In searching for a wedding venue, my now-husband and I were looking for a scenic Vermont venue with accommodations for our guests to stay onsite for a weekend getaway. Farm Road Estate was exactly that. The property grounds are breathtakingly gorgeous yet peacefully calm. There are multiple options for ceremony sites and countless spots for amazing photos. The inn rooms and guest houses are beautifully updated with a rustic elegance charm. Our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and farewell breakfast were all held onsite at the Sawmill restaurant and the food was exceptional. The staff were professional, friendly, organized, and an overall pleasure to work with. We had a truly magical weekend we will never forget. I would highly recommend FRE to any couple looking for weekend gateway wedding in Vermont! Reviewed on 29-06-2022
Emma Thomas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-05-2021 We found Farm Road Estate on a whim. We went for a walk through, at the time (almost. 2 years ago now) the venue was still being renovated. We could see through the renovations and instantly fell in love with the venue. It was exactly what we had been searching so hard to find, but until then hadn’t been successful in doing so. We also immediately trusted the coordinators, and their vision for this venue. We thanked them and said we would think about it and let them know, but when we were driving away we both instantly said “that’s the place!” Kelly, Christie, Frazier, and the whole staff made our wedding exceptional. They were working tirelessly the days leading up to our wedding to ensure everything was perfect. Kelly and Christie helped us so much during the planning process. They helped us to communicate with vendors, made suggestions when necessary, made it possible for our own vision come to life. The day of our wedding it rained… good luck I guess. The staff at Farm Road Estate made our wedding extraordinary even in the rain.. so much so that we didn’t even notice. The food was exceptional and we received numerous compliments from wedding attendees. Farm Road also hosted our rehearsal dinner at last minute notice due to an issue with another venue and knocked it out of the park. They accommodated all of our rehearsal dinner guests and were entirely flexible to whatever we desired for the menu that night. If you haven’t you also have to try their brunch (our personal favorite). Many of our attendees stayed on site, and my family rented one of the larger homes, which was perfect for relaxing in on the days leading up to the wedding. We have family and friends who expressed that they would definitely be returning for another stay. In summary upon reflection we can’t imagine having had our wedding anywhere else. If you are looking for a custom experience, that is unique to you as a couple, in a timeless and romantic setting, choose this venue, you won’t be disappointed. We look back so fondly at our wedding day and it is 1000% percent because of this venue and the coordinators, owners, and staff that breathe life and character into it. Thank you Farm Road Estate! We will be returning for brunch often! Reviewed on 20-01-2022
David Laegen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2021 A PERFECT wedding. Two main components to why this place is THE BEST:(1) Attention to the couple: This is not a wedding factory... Having a wedding at Farm Road Estate is a bespoke experience. Kelly and Stephen go to great lengths to accommodate any request. They make excellent suggestions such as where to have the ceremony and how to time all the activities. They helped us by building a big picture of what we wanted and then hashing out all the little details we needed to get there. They made us feel so SPECIAL. Our wedding was romantic, authentic, and natural. Stephen and Kelly really pay attention to the bride and groom.(2) Accommodating the guests: My wife and I wanted to find a venue that could host our guests for an entire weekend. The idea being - everyone can spread out, relax, and spend quality time together. Farm Road Estate can give you access to the entire facility, allowing for all of your friends and family to intermingle and soak in everything Vermont has to offer. Many of our guests said this was the best wedding they'd been to and likened it to a vacation.In summation: with all of the cookie cutter venues out there, we feel SO LUCKY to have had our wedding at such a gem of a place that allowed us to have the best time of our lives without pushing us into a strict schedule or forcing us to follow a bunch of rules. The Farm Road Estate staff is EXCEPTIONAL; kind, lovely, caring. Also - shoutout to Chef Chris for the delicious food and the bar manager, Tim for making some fantastic cocktails. The party went all weekend long! Reviewed on 12-12-2021
Andrea Schrumm(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 We got married at Farm Road on 10/16/21 and it was truly a fall wedding dream come true. Our experience with Kelly, Stephen, Christie and the entire staff was very pleasant. The team was professional, accommodating and communicative. We truly got the feel that they were willing to do whatever, whenever to make us and our families happy. Any and all of our requests, big or small, were taken care of quickly and Stephen, the GM was on site for our tours and tasting and he is a customer service genius. Christopher, the chef, prepared us all of our exceptional meals throughout the weekend and our guests could not stop raving about the food. We hosted all of our wedding events on site: rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and Sunday brunch for our guests since no one was local and a good number of our guests stayed on site. Every single one of the events went off without a hitch due to Kelly's remarkable attention to detail. If you are looking for a venue to host several things in one weekend in a stunning location with great food, look no further. The icing on the cake (no pun intended) was when we forgot to bring our wedding cake home and another member of their family whom we had never met, went out of his way to meet us in our home state to give it to us. They have an incredible team and staff that ensured an unforgettable wedding weekend experience. Reviewed on 08-12-2021

These homes and cottages are gorgeous! Especially the two larger homes for the bridal party. They are updated, beautifully decorated and very spacious! We were there a few days before the wedding and enjoyed all the amenities. Our guests enjoyed the pool, played tennis, swam in the lake and hiked! The weather turned out perfect and even if it didn’t the whole Farm Road estate team had contingency plans for us. Our family, friends and guests could not stop talking about the venue and how impressed they were with everything.
