Gorgeous little venue in the Oswego Plainfield area. Beautiful tree lined road up to a cute farm building with prairie and horse runs. Big parking area and tent for the reception. The couple's wedding we attended had the ceremony outside by the opening to the barn. It was kind of cold so hopefully they have an indoor option if needed. I'm sure they do. Oh barn cats.... there are barn cats which stole the show... for me atleast! The barn was super cute. White and black with rustic chandeliers and lighting. Perfect for the best pics. Now I'm a city girl so I just want to end this with a tip for people like me. Sure the horses are cute and you want to pet them but be careful! The fence had an electrical strap that I had the pleasure of touching! It wasn't that bad but I learned my lesson! I attached the few pics I did take but others here had way better. read more

Northfork was the first venue we looked at one week after we were engaged and we fell in love instantly. We knew this was the place we were getting married! We booked the last wedding of their season on November 3rd and as the months started passing I got nervous about the weather. Each time I emailed Pete and Laurie, they would ease my mind. They were extremely responsive via email. We also went back to walk around the grounds with various venders before the wedding and Pete would always come out and make sure any questions were answered. I also rented their daughter Carly's new salon space and she was just as friendly and responsive too. My favorite part about this venue is that it is owned by a family and it really feels like weddings are their passion, not just a business they run. I felt they went above and beyond to make sure my day went smoothly. Peggy, their wedding planner, was also incredible. She met with me numerous times and also was happy to answer any questions along the way. She is a STEAL! Book her if you choose this venue! John, the bartender was also wonderful. I really can't say enough great things about this place! read more

My son got married here yesterday. Such a beautiful location if you are looking for a farm theme wedding. Views of the rolling hills, white picket fences and stable will adorn you days photos. There is an air conditioned suite for the bride and her posse to get ready. Peggy the planner was so detailed and stayed the entire day. I was overwhelmed by her dedication to making the our bride and groom have the most memorable day. There is a patio adjacent to the reception tent that you can have a roaring fire in the eventing which was the perfect location for the s'more bar. The day was perfect! Highly recommend taking a tour. read more

Beware of the owners and staff you're about to deal with if you're interested in using this facility for your wedding. They were NOT prepared by any means and will take ZERO ownership and accountability. Granted, the weather was not great this day, but the owners assured us their tents can withstand weather and that they had backup plans ready, which clearly was false. The tent had multiple windows break from the wind, leaving holes that needed to be repaired in the middle of the wedding day. They lost power and did not have a backup generator, delaying the effectiveness of the music and dj and microphone. They also only have a trailer available for bathrooms, and once they finally got a backup generator, it wasn't enough to provide power to the restrooms. This left the restrooms without light and without running water, which is frankly illegal. One of our guests even fell and cut her leg open because she couldn't see going up the trailer steps. Lastly, and maybe the biggest of all, is the wedding coordinator provided by Northfolk left the bride waiting in the freezing cold and high winds for 45 minutes on her own on the front porch. Her lack of organization had the ceremony delayed, and she "forgot" that she had the bride waiting on the porch, with no jacket freezing. This was 1 of many many times throughout the night that the coordinator was scrambling and just not organized. The bride and groom still managed to have a great time, creating a memory of a lifetime, but no thanks to Northfolk Farms. We have a great family and came together to ensure everyone still had a great time, and I'm so happy for the bride and groom. But you should think elsewhere on your venue. These owners should not be in business and should not be allowed to be responsible for other people. read more

Let me start by saying who leaves the Bride standing outside by herself, without a jacket, in the freezing cold for 45 minutes? The answer is Northfork! There were 70 mph winds and freezing temperatures. There was no communication. The ceremony was delayed and the wedding coordinator forgot the bride was waiting outside. The venue lost power a couple of hours before the ceremony and didn't have generators. How is this being prepared? They got one generator but that was not enough to get everything up and running. We offered to go to Home Depot to buy more generators and they said we couldn't. A lot of our decorations could not be displayed due to the lack of generators. So that was money lost for us. Our coffee station couldn't be set up for the same reason. Again our money lost. Our photo booth had to be set up outside by the barn, again because of them not having enough generators. The guests didn't want to go outside to use the photo booth so we lost money on this as well. The reception tent was damaged from the high winds. Northfork didn't have enough workers so some of the bridal party were doing repairs. There were not enough chairs set up for all of our guests for the ceremony so some of the guests had to stand. Before the ceremony started I mentioned to the owner about not having enough chairs set up, he rolled his eyes, said nothing and walked away. There was no power in the bridal suite. We could not freshen up, run water, or flush the toilet. The bathrooms for the guests were totally in the dark. No back up lights. 2 of our guests got injured walking up the steps to the bathroom. There weren't any first aid kits in sight. Thank goodness I came prepared with one. The bride and groom didn't even eat dinner together because they kept getting pulled away for every issue that arose. Where was the wedding coordinator that we paid for? She should have been the one called upon to fix each problem, as well as the owners. The parents of the bride and groom were also being called upon to fix issues. We all should have been left to enjoy the day. They took no accountability. They were not prepared for the horrible weather conditions, even though this weather was forecast beforehand. Not to mention as well that when we took a tour of the venue a year before the wedding, they assured us that they would be 100% prepared and ready to handle any weather conditions possible. The bottom line is that I would not recommend using this venue for anything, especially a wedding! Take my word for it! read more

We have had 3 special occasions here, a surprise Anniversary party, HS graduation and our daughter's Wedding. It is truly a special, beautiful and an amazing place to hold a venue that no doubt all will enjoy and remember. Thanks to Pete and Laurie for envisioning and creating this wonderful place for all to enjoy. This place will hold fond memories in our heart for a lifetime read more

My husband and I got married here in 2018 and it was a gorgeous setting. Everything was set up beautifully, the horses were in the pasture, and it was overall a perfect day. They do only allow you to use their preferred alcohol vender which was not a big deal to us, and they have a handful of preferred meal vendors that all seemed tasty. (We ended up choosing big fish and that was very good as well). If you're debating on getting married here or not, the answer is yes- do it! read more

I got married at Northfork Farm a few weeks ago. Our day was perfect! I would highly recommend getting married here. Northfork Farm is a beautiful venue (with an air conditioned tent for the reception!), they have organized staff, and fair pricing. Peggy, the event coordinator, does AMAZING work and will make your day effortless. She went above & beyond to make our day special. The owners, Pete & Laurie, are such wonderful people to work with and made the whole process easy. They are very down to earth people that are invested in making your event perfect. I also recommend booking their daughter, Carly, for wedding hair & makeup. Her salon is on site, which made the whole getting ready process so easy. She does amazing work & is very professional! If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, fun, unique, and will cater to your needs, this place is it! read more
