The day of, the weather was very iffy. The Carters helped us to create back up plans and made all our worries go away. The day of they checked in with our whole wedding party and our families, to ensure the day was everything we wanted and more. The newly added bridal suite was perfect for my girls and I to get ready in. It is absolutely beautiful and has all the accommodations, you can imagine.

We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Yorktowne farms! The venue is stunning and our guests commented on how beautiful everything was. Even on a rainy wedding day, we were still able to have a gorgeous wedding thanks to the tent and barn. Terri and Mark were extremely helpful throughout the planning process, always very quick to respond and had all the info we needed. They were also a huge help during the wedding weekend, supporting us when we needed help through set-up, tear-down, and the wedding day itself. We definitely recommend having your wedding at Yorktowne Farms! Reviewed on 21-10-2023

HEATHER MCCAFFREY(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 HAVE PASSED BY THIS FARM SO MANY TIMES AS MY KIDS WENT TO CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS ALWAYS ADMIRED IT. WHEN MY DAUGHTER GOT ENGAGED THIS YEAR, SHE KNEW SHE WANTED HER WEDDING AT A BARN. HOW EXCITED WE WERE TO FIND OUT THIS FARM COULD BE RENTED OUT. TERRI AND MARK ARE TWO OF THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU WILL MEET. THEY ARE VERY INVITING AND MAKE YOU FEEL SO AT EASE AND AT HOME. THEY ARE SO HELPFUL AND ACCOMODATING. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THEM AND THEIR VENUE.THERE ARE THREE TO FOUR OUTSIDE AREAS FOR AN OUTDOOR CEREMONY, EVERTHING CAN ALSO BE INDOORS IF NEEDED DUE TO BAD WEATHER. TERRI WAS A BIG HELP IN OFFERING SUGGESTIONS OF SET UP, CATERERS, DJS, ETC. A DEFINITE PLUS WAS HAVING THEM THERE THE DAY OF TO HANDLE PARKING AND ARRIVAL OF HIRED SERVICES. MARK EVEN HAS A GOLF CART TO TAKE THOSE THAT HAVE A HARD TIME WALKING TO THE CEREMONY SITE ON THE PROPERTY. THE GROUNDS ARE VERY WELL KEPT AND PICTURE PERFECT.I WOULD HAVE ANY PARTY/CELEBRATION HERE, IF I COULD!!!!!!! Reviewed on 10-11-2022
Ashlyn Nailor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 My husband and I got engaged in August 2022. We are expecting our first child and wanted to get married before he arrived. I heard about Yorktowne Farms through my mother-in-law. I immediately reached out to Terri Carter via email. She responded within minutes to my email ready to coordinate. My husband, Jared, and I wanted to get married on September 24th. We were so fortunate Terri had this date available. She set up a date for us to come tour the venue. As soon as we drove up to the venue I was mesmerized by the beautiful view. Terri was so generous to give us a tour of the grounds and explain everything we could expect on our wedding day. She also provided a packet that included pricing, when the venue was available, and other vendors we could use for catering, DJ, etc. The price for this venue was extremely reasonable given all that is included. My husband and I knew immediately this is where we wanted to get married. We were so lucky Terri had the venue available for the day we wanted and how flexible she was with our timeline. She coordinated with our caterer to ensure everything would be set up on the day of the wedding. We were able to begin using the venue the Thursday before our wedding and had it all the way to the following Monday. Both Terri and her husband Mark were so kind to ensure we had access to the tables, chairs, and linens to help for a smooth set up. The day of the wedding, Terri and Mark were the absolute best. They graciously allowed us to use their house for the bridal party's entrance into the ceremony. They both made sure everything was set up and running according to plan to alleviate some of the stress on the bridal party. Terri and Mark are the sweetest people you will ever meet and ensure that your day goes exactly how you expect. My wedding was absolutely perfect and I can not thank them enough. My husband and I appreciate all of Terri and Mark's help to make our wedding more than we could have ever dreamed of. We both highly recommend this gorgeous venue and its coordinators.

Abigail Wurzbach(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2022 I coordinated my first wedding at Yorktowne Farms, and was not disappointed at ALL! Terri and Mr. Mark are two of the kindest people you will ever meet. They made the wedding prep and day go so smoothly and were willing to help beyond expectations. The venue and facilities were wonderful. Could not recommend more. Reviewed on 20-08-2022
Valerie Amsler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 My now-husband and I cannot recommend Yorktowne Farms enough to everyone getting married. It has everything you would want for a classy and slightly rustic feel of a wedding. The site has a beautiful willow tree, lovely stream, gorgeous barn, and home, which is perfect for pictures. The owners also keep a stunning, planted area if you want to get married in front of flowers. Across the way, you have a beautiful horse farm with fawn and mamma horses. The owners are some of the most caring, fun, kind, and loveable people you will ever meet. They make sure that the property looks perfect for your special day. They have the option for you to have tables and chairs in the barn and a second set of chairs for the ceremony. Allowing us to manipulate venue space as needed to accommodate our guests. For anyone doing wedding research, tables and chairs are rarely included with the venue, and if they are, you can never change the setup. This made it great for us to rearrange the space to include a photo booth. They also have plenty of parking behind the barn and out of sight for the event. Again, wonderful place with amazing owners whom we cannot thank enough for letting us have our dream wedding at their venue. Reviewed on 22-06-2022
We have been helping couples make their wedding dreams come true for 10 years. The first event was a 50th wedding anniversary party for Mark's parents. The caterer told Mark \"this would be a great wedding venue!\" Things just took off from there. We wanted to make Yorktowne Farms a place where couples don 't have to rush. We want it to be a time filled making wonderful memories because this is one of the most important days in a couples lives. So, we offer couple's five days to prepare, Thursday thru Monday. We love seeing the final result set against the beauty of Yorktowne Farms.
