Will other people be on the farm during our wedding?
Most weddings take place after the farm has closed to the public, so you and your guests enjoy a private wedding experience. If your wedding is scheduled during daytime business hours (9:00 AM–3:00 PM), other visitors may be on the farm, but your reserved wedding venue and event space remain private and exclusively yours.
