What do clients have to say about you?

Not only were my mother and I so extremely taken back by how easygoing and seamless our planning was thanks to coordinators Dawn and Richard, but our guests were so impressed by the venue, food, decorations and service. And as were we!! So many guests coming up to me raving about how wonderful the space is, the food being so so good, and how great of a time they had feeling so welcomed, comfortable and intimate in the space of the venue. Such a classic vintage and classy, elegant vibe. My family, husband, and myself are still over the moon at how perfect our wedding went and I give all of the credit to Dawn, Richard, the bride’s incredible personal assistant of the day Laura, the waitstaff, and amazing personable bartenders who had everything including our signature drinks made-to-order. Was such a seamless, easy going event. Any request we had, big or small - Dawn and Richard accommodated. I expected something to go wrong, but nothing ever did. I fell in love with this beautiful, intimate venue and cannot wait to go back for dinner in their dining room open to the public!!

Where do we start? From day one of finding this location, we were utterly impressed. Their venue is stunning! From the outdoor spaces (amazing ceremony spaces and photo opps) to the beautiful ballroom and cocktail spaces, it was exactly what we wanted, comfortable and casual with just the right amount of elegance. And the food!! Oh my goodness, the food is outstanding!! What an incredible meal! We chose to do a duet plate of braised short ribs and chicken marsala and we heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests! They did not skimp either! The portions were definitely filling! But above all of that, the best part was the staff! From the wonderful interactions with the directors Dawn and Richard to every single server, we felt like we were totally in the best hands possible. They made us feel like family and were 100% invested in what we wanted for our special day. Dawn went above and beyond to make sure we needed from day one to the day of the actual event. She was very responsive to our communications and made working with them a dream! It was the wedding of our dreams and The Farmhouse at People's Light made them come true! I would highly suggest putting them at the top of your list if searching for a venue that will give you peace of mind, value, outstanding cuisine, top notch service, and a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere.

This venue is stunning. The Farmhouse itself is such a special unique space loaded with character. The gardens are amazingly beautiful. It feels as if you are at a mini Longwood Gardens. The venue itself has plenty of space, but with the sliding glass doors, even smaller events would be appropriate. There are loads of artistic touches everywhere: the glasswork, artsy metal lights in the ceiling, string metal cans outside, beautifully designed fire pit, it is truly magical. The staff is truly fabulous. They answered every question and attended to every detail without fail. Totally felt every detail was addressed. Please go visit this venue because you will fall in love!!
