Christianna Hancock(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2023 Hale Farm was a gorgeous venue. It was unique, historical, and very good for wedding day pictures. Debbie Crain was the best ever day of coordinator and really helped with the renting of Hale Farm, and also every little detail that can drive a bride crazy. My first impression of Debbie and the Hale Farm staff is that they are warm, fun, and great at what they do! You will be in good hands at Hale Farm! I cannot reccomend this venue enough. I really enjoyed our wedding day here and hope to be back again! Reviewed on 29-03-2023
Katie Hufford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 Hale Farm was absolutely incredible through the entire process. Becca was always quick to answer emails whenever I had questions and made planning trips to the venue so easy. And then the actual wedding couldn't have been more beautiful. Our photographer had a blast with the gorgeous scenery. I'm sure Hale Farm is beautiful all year round, but if you're specifically looking for a fall wedding, you won't be disappointed by how beautiful the grounds are here. It was truly the perfect day.

Erica Keller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2021 We rented Hale Farm (east side) for our wedding celebration/re-do. Becca is a great communicator and was very responsive. The venue itself is beautiful. There was a small problem with the GFI outlets in the Pavilion tripping when the DJ turned up the music, but it ended up getting figured out and we had a great party! Becca and her team are professional, courteous and helped us have a great time. Thank you! If you're on the fence, book them! Reviewed on 27-09-2021
Lindsay Martin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2019 Had a magical day at Hale Farm and Village and Julie put up with a surprise band, my family, spontaneous rain, I didn't notice a thing. The meeting house was gorgeous and perfect for a ceremony and we added lights and some florals to the visitor's center which made it shine. Everyone loved the space and we got amazing photos! We had hoped for a bonfire/lanterns but they were not lit-so just be very clear what you need done by venue. We enjoyed having our day in November, thanks Julie for letting us come and set up early. She was very helpful and her team helped with set up a lot. The place gives you so many options and 200 guests fit very well in the space. Their caterers are great too. Reviewed on 14-11-2019
Paul Jungquist(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2019 Wow. I didn't think I would enjoy setting up our ceremony and reception, both of which were at Hale. Julie Spicer, the rental manager, was a pleasure to work with. She even managed to hook us up with an arch like a week before the ceremony because we'd forgotten about that! A wonderful communicator, she was in touch regularly until everything was set just as we needed.The rest of the staff handling things day of were incredible. We had a personal escort around the grounds to help with photos, who was also kind enough to keep us supplied with water in the 90 degree sunlight. Whenever we were in danger of running over the planned itinerary, someone literally appeared at my elbow to let us know and offered to help move things along.Guys. Thank you. It was beautiful, everything was amazing. Everyone commented on how beautiful a venue it was. And it really was. Reviewed on 24-09-2019
Devon (Kahl) Jeter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 Hale Farm and Village is a beautiful venue!!Johanna, the rentals coordinator at Hale Farm &Village, was extremely helpful!! She went out of her way to answer questions and meet with me to ensure the best day possible, which would not have happened without her help! She went out of the way to make sure we were taken care of and on time with all of our events!! She is great at what she does and our day would not have went smoothly without her help!!We had our ceremony on the patio of the Gatehouse, so our ceremony was still outside yet we got to enjoy the natural beauty of the venue. We also got to take our pictures around the property which meant we got to enjoy the beautiful setting and the houses. We had our reception inside the Gatehouse which was also a beautiful setting as well!! There is an overall rustic feel with beautiful views outside. There is room for a good amount of people and a dance floor. We also had a buffet in the room and there was still plenty of room for everyone.Hale Farm & Village is a wonderful and unique venue that will have a special meaning to us for the rest of our lives!! Our guests were very excited to come see the venue as well as to attend our wedding. I would recommend Hale Farm & Village to anyone!! Reviewed on 22-09-2018
Molly Orr(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 I had my wedding at Hale Farm and Village on the pavilion side and it was absolutely amazing! The planner at Hale Farm was amazing and helped me with any questions I had. The planner at Hale Farm is not a wedding planner though, she is just the events coordinator so it is a venue where you have to do some stuff on your own which was fine with me because it was affordable to rent. We did our own flowers so this is part of the reason why we had to coordinate our own flower setup. We were also allowed to bring our own alcohol which saved a tone of money! The weather was perfect for our big day which made the landscape absolutely amazing at Hale! I would totally recommend this venue to anyone who loves nature, is on a budget, is okay with doing some organization on their own and values natural beauty over a ballroom. The relaxed feel of the venue allowed our guests to have an amazing time and not feel that they had to behave uptight like at more formal weddings which is totally what we wanted! There was something for everyone at Hale Farm so even if someone was not a dancer, they could go outside and enjoy the beautiful view. Reviewed on 24-08-2018
Stacy Diesem(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-06-2018 One of the reasons that we chose Hale Farm to get married, besides being a beautiful property, was because of Johanna and their staff. Johanna was able to answer all of our questions upfront when we first visited. She was quick to respond on any other additional questions throughout the year before the wedding. When we met for our final meeting before the wedding, she offered up great suggestions to us. The day of the wedding was a 90+ degree day and we were able to utilize the entire property for pictures. Johanna stayed with us the entire time of pictures, which was a few hours, and made sure we had everything that we needed and told us about different locations to go to which was so helpful. She even managed to hold our purses for us and watch our stuff as we walked around. She coordinated with all of the vendors to make sure they had what they needed and knew all of the details. She made sure the guests were comfortable and had them stay inside until the beginning of the ceremony since it was so hot outside. She even helped my Mother with the bustle of my dress and brought me a plate of food down to the bridal room. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to work with. I’m so glad we chose Hale Farm as our wedding venue. The property is beautiful and the staff were all so friendly, professional and organized. Thanks to Johanna, I would highly recommend Hale Farm.

Jenni S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2017 I grew up going to Hale Farm with my grandma for summer field trips and it’s been a dream of mine to get married in the beautiful church in the historic village. Such a perfect way to please people who want a traditional church wedding while also getting creative with your setting and being able to hold a reception a stones throw from the ceremony! Just search for “Hale Farm Wedding” and you will see why this is such a perfect venue. Given that Hale Farm is a museum, there are many restrictions on what you can and can’t do, so you may have to be flexible. Also know that if you choose to get married in the chapel, it can get very warm in the summer. Johanna was great to work with in advance of the wedding, she answered all of my questions very quickly, and her staff were so helpful on the day of the wedding. Reviewed on 08-01-2018
Jessica Lampkowski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2017 Hale Farm and Village was the absolutely perfect place for our wedding.

She was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process, answered any questions I had (which was A TON), and offered great advice as needed, not to mention she was so sweet and kind.
