I enjoyed our wedding at The Farmhouse greatly. There were a lot of wonderful parts about our day,…read morebut there were a few things I would be aware of in advance to anyone considering this venue. Firstly, reading through some of the reviews, I think many guests have bad experiences not because of the venue, but because of the vendors that the couples select. This is one thing about the venue that you should be aware of in advance: they provide you a venue with facilities for the full day including ample getting ready spaces, and full access to the property. You as a coupe hire your vendors separately. The Farmhouse provides you with a preferred vendor list and the platinum package list. We selected their platinum package vendors because 1) I didn't want to vet any vendors and 2) we got a discount with those vendors AND the venue if we did. As far as the vendors are concerned, I will leave more detailed reviews on their own pages, but for the purposes of anyone considering the platinum package at The Farmhouse, I would say it was generally a good experience. Here is a quick breakdown: -Eight Hands Photography - Great vendor with lovely photos. Our head photographer did not seem well prepared and didn't provide us with a huge variety of group photo ideas. You'll want to have ideas in mind otherwise they will go basic. -DJ JPW - fantastic DJ. 100/10. Absolute best wedding DJ I could have hoped for. -Goddess Effect Beauty - I was not pleased with her system of payments nor the clarity of communication. I'm not sure if the communication is purposefully unclear or if she is not a clear person, but she messaged me the morning of the wedding that I owed $1500 when I really owed $500. It made the entire morning incredibly awkward and I cannot say I enjoyed the experience once that happened. -Stems and Petals - Great flowers for very reasonable! Flowers themselves looked a bit damaged (bruised roses), but they truly were a steal compared to other florists! She was also VERY pleasant to work with! Great experience -SIP Bar Service and Prestige Liquor - Excellent, top notch bar tenders. Great service and they packed everything away. Marissa at SIP was fantastic with our planning. For Prestige, check your quote and ensure it's accurate because he did mistakenly add 20 bottles of champagne but Gary fixed that issue quickly and professionally! -Noteable Catering - People loved the food. I thought they were good people to work with and generally okay. Nothing super out of the park. I did hate that we did the buffet stations and guests had to walk through the kitchens. That was weird, but not really their fault. We also knew that going in! The layout and space- This venue was BEAUTIFUL. I was so thrilled with all of the flowers, landscape details, and fire pits. One thing we wanted in a venue was outdoor spaces for people that don't dance. We had board games and cards set outside for our guests to enjoy if they didn't enjoy music and it felt so lovely to give ALL guests a place to enjoy. One thing that was frustrating was that announcements couldn't be heard outside. They need an outdoor PA system so that guests can hear when the late night snack is up! That would be so helpful and make the guest experience better. Finally, I really loved the getting ready spaces. It was so nice to be able to relax with everyone in the spaces. My flower girl needed a nap earlier in the day so having a place where she could go with her parents and relax was instrumental to having her happy and smiling! Day of Coordinator - This was a great decision for us to do, and I'm happy we did it. I will say that Hailey was incredibly helpful and ensured things ran smoothly. Honestly, huge shout out to her for getting us drinks right after the ceremony for us to immediately celebrate! She was kind, thoughtful, and calm! Our stuff was set up beautifully, but I did have to make some adjustments (that's because I'm a perfectionist not because they did anything wrong). I wish that they acted a bit more type A to be honest. You want a person in that position to be an absolute perfectionist: asking clarifying questions during planning meetings, taking ownership, thinking ahead with potential issues. Seemed like they were very passive. Not a bad thing especially when balancing nervous brides, but I would have loved more energy and enthusiasm during planning. It almost seemed like I had to lead the meetings and all the prep. Our stuff was packed up poorly after the wedding: puzzle pieces dumped in a box, broken glass, etc. The owner gave a weird impression to my parents (I never met him) but it seemed that he wasn't a very nice person and was bad mouthing Hailey to my parents. I think that's unprofessional since she did a great job. Overall experience - I would say I absolutely had the best time of my life, but I would recommend doing research before selecting the venue. If you don't want to pick out your vendors, find an all inclusive!

There was a tent with security but no one stopped us or checked our tickets or anything. Once we made it to the VIP area, everything was easy to navigate and the sound from the stage was awesome. The concert itself was great. A few of the booths closed earlier than expected, which was a bit of a bummer, but overall, as a concert venue, it was a pretty solid experience. Was cool that they showed the tourney on the stage screen before the music act went live.

They work really well with all the different non-profits as well as the Chamber. The Nest is a great restaurant located downstairs and the event space is located upstairs, accessible through the other side of the golf course. The food is delicious considering it's banquet food and I feel like I always end up getting something different even though I've attended so many events and functions here. I appreciate the chefs constantly making sure that the menu is refreshed and it's not redundant. The staff here is great and the venue is clean. I am grateful to have the Golf club in town!

The live music provided a great atmosphere and the BYOB was also a bonus. The location is easy to find and the owner was there the entire time with us. We had someone replenishing paint and bringing us napkins as needed and they had cupcakes from a nearby bakery for sale which where some of the best I have had. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Just a few things that kept me from giving it five stars. The painting area was a little too cramped. I was elbow to elbow with the people on either side of me, which made it a little hard to move around and paint. The actual brushes we used seemed to be a little worn, so they didn't paint as well. Maybe omitting one or two chairs from the tables to provide extra painting room would make it a little more comfortable? Just a suggestion, otherwise I would definitely recommend attending one of their painting socials.

Service (A+) The service was excellent, the waitress was…read morevery kind and helpful. She promptly seated me, provided recommendations, made sure I could use my $10 off voucher, made sure the food came out in a timely manner, made the appropriate amount of conversation and promptly provided my bill. The interior of the lounge is amazing and I would like to have a wedding reception or graduation party or some special occasion. Food (B) I got the lamb kofta. Great idea but the lamb was a bit dry and the "heat" was a bit too much and didn't integrate into the dish. The portion size was a bit small also. (It was a small plate). But the presentation was excellent. I feel like this dish is a work in progress and could be better with some tweaks. Value (E) It's super expensive here and for that reason I will not be going back. I did use a $10 voucher and my total bill was $14 including tip and tax. Which I felt was a fair price, but no way would I pay $20-$24 for that item. The other menu items are also super expensive. My perspective is that it was super expensive to build out and the management team is using a cost plus model for pricing vs what the market can bear. Also the website has a few menus so it is confusing to know which one you will get. I let things play out with the staff but I wanted the burger that was on the online menu but I was presented the more expensive and different menu. It's confusing Overall (C) This was a tough review for me to write since this place has so much potential but they are not executing properly and the owners love for his daughter is resonating. Unfortunately i think that Megs lounge is going to fail. The prices are way too expensive, like by a factor of 2X or 3x, it is confusing to find, not enough marketing or promotions to get people in the door, etc My recommendation for management is to 1. Dramatically lower prices, 2. Create some type of consistent identity to the menu, 3. Do a much better job marketing by creating a strong social media strategy and better promotions. This place has potential but feels like an owners first attempt and pet project.

It has Italian fennel sausage, mozzarella, broccoli rabe, pecorino, and basil. -prosciutto & fig 5 - this was a good combination with prosciutto, fig confit, and shaved parm.
