To Put It Into Words . . .

As a wedding photographer, I see it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Shooting a wedding at Wood Acres Farm this past Sunday, I was witness to some of the most impressive and professional venue management/day-of coordination I've seen in my 7 years in business. Long story short, the day of coordinator, Lisa, was on her third full wedding of the weekend and had not gotten much sleep three nights running. She had an early start that day to boot. And to top it off, rain was threatening to change the ceremony plans all day, but the final decision wasn't reached until literally 15 minutes before the ceremony was scheduled to start: the couple chose to move inside. I watched her handle the whole thing with grace, speed, and kindness. It is no small feat to move a ceremony from one location to another in such a short amount of time, but she managed so many moving parts and so many different people and she pulled it off with a smile on her face. It was a pleasure (actually, it was a joy) working with her. She made everyone there feel like a team, and she kept everyone informed the entire day. She even prioritized vendor meals, which is highly unusual in the best of times. I cannot wait to work there again and I'm so grateful for all of her hard work that day. It helped us all do our best work, which helps ensure the couple had the best experience possible.

We cannot say enough about Wood Acres Farm, they were absolutely amazing! Joyce and her team really make you feel like part of the family. Joyce and Lisa were there every step of the way on our big day making sure we were taken care of. Taylor was very quick with responding to all our emails and questions along the way. The venue is absolutely gorgeous all the way from the scenery to the antique decorations sprinkled around the venue. On our rehearsal night we got to experience seeing the Aurora Borealis perfectly by the camp fire! Wood Acres Farm was the first and only venue my now husband and I looked at and we were sold right then and there. We knew this was where we wanted to get married! It was an unforgettable night and we are so lucky to have been able to create these great memories on the farm!

Jack and I could not be happier that our wedding was at Wood Acres Farm! Joyce, Lisa, and Taylor go above and beyond to make your wedding day so special and every day leading up to it. Any questions I had along the way, they were there to answer every single one. Even with a little rain on our wedding day, the Wood Acres Team went above and beyond to make the day as special as it could be. It was the best day of our lives!

We had an amazing wedding! Joyce, Taylor, and Lisa literally treated us like royalty. They took care of everything from the smallest detail to the largest and everything in between. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you’re looking for a farmy, but elegant wedding, look no further than Wood Acres. I could not recommend them enough. You will have an unbelievable experience from the carriage ride to the scenery. It was PERFECT!

From the start we fell in love with the venue. Everything was gorgeous from the entrance to the cottage to the ceremony site on the deck to the indoor/outdoor reception. And we can’t say enough about the staff! Their professionalism and attention to detail was top notch. They treated us not like we were just another couple passing through but like we were family. We will forever treasure Wood Acres Farm and the staff!

Everything about our wedding at Wood Acres was perfect!! From our very first tour we knew immediately that this was the venue for us. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and you feel like a part of the family. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. I even worried early on that hiring outside caterers and bar tenders would be more annoying but their preferred vendor list is extensive and so fantastic, it was like they came with the venue! We heard all night from our guests that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to!!
PARENTS OF THE BRIDE
Our hearts are so happy right now after the glow of Friday’s celebration. From the initial planning 11 months ago and everything leading up to the rehearsal night and wedding party—you ladies made it fun, no-stress and like our extended family that was vested in making sure Sara and Dan were so happy … and you could tell from all the smiles and laughing they were in heaven! Thanks for your caring, expertise, organization, and recommendations for the A-team of contractors. Amazing. We are actually so sorry that we won’t have a reason to work with you in the near future! Thank you all so so much for making the best wedding event your farm has ever hosted! (Ok… maybe we’re biased… but hard to imagine anything more perfect).

I am beyond pleased with the venue!! Joyce gave us a beautiful first tour! We then had been emailing back and forth with Taylor, who was extremely prompt with responding and was super helpful. Lastly, my hostess Lisa! I am so thankful to have had her help me on my wedding day. She was always quick on her feet to adjust things! She was extremely attentive and pleasant. I am so grateful! My parents were very pleased with her as well, which just goes to how great she was! :) I would HIGHLY recommend choosing Wood Acres Farm for your event!!

We had the best wedding ever with Wood Acres Farm!!! The team they have is highly professional and will go out of their way to make sure your day is special. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The grounds are beautiful and they have multiple options for ceremony sites. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and all our guests talked about how much they enjoyed the venue and how beautiful everything was. Additionally, being taken to your wedding in a horse and carriage is one of the most magical experiences you could have as a bride. We loved everyone there and would highly recommend Wood Acres to anyone looking for a wedding venue. Thank you Ken, Taylor, and especially Joyce and Lisa for helping create the most magical day for me and my husband!!

It was as if Wood Acres Farm was a venue made for my husband and I. I've always dreamt of being pulled in a horse drawn carriage for my wedding and our venue made that dream come true. Our guests absolutely loved the setting, anywhere you go on the property is picture worthy. Joyce provides a list of TOP NOTCH preferred professionals which makes the planning process super easy and customizable. Lisa was our day of wedding coordinator and she was absolutely terrific, so sweet and helpful. We can't say enough good things about WAF, it made all our wedding dreams come true and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

This venue is a MUST! If you're looking for a unique venue, then look no further! First and foremost, Joyce and the rest of the staff at Wood Acres are beyond friendly, I felt like I was part of the family. They are super flexible and allow you to bring in your own vendors/set up how you would like. They provide day-of coordination which is extremely helpful and not to mention, a horse & carriage ride!! You can either have a grand entrance and/or grand exit. It was a great touch because my husband and I got to have a few minutes of alone time right after the ceremony. We have been getting non-stop compliments on this venue, it really is something special so don't pass it up!
