Hope Springs Farm was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. They were very easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process, always responding promptly to any questions we had. The venue itself was amazing - it had such a cozy, yet roomy feel that was perfect for our celebration. On the day of the wedding, the staff came and showed me around the space to make sure I knew where everything was, and I was able to call them if I had any other questions that came up. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile really made our special day run so smoothly. We're so grateful to the team at Hope Springs Farm for helping to make our wedding day perfect.

The venue has a beautiful courtyard and the hardwood floors are great. The staff is very helpful for answering questions and just helping in any way they can. However, if you plan on having small children there, I would warn parents to keep them on a tight leash. I heard a couple comments about less-than-friendly warnings from the staff about children’s behavior (like standing on a chair)

Awarded Best of Zola
Communication with Juniper Gardens was excellent! We received fast and thorough responses from the team. We got married at their Hillside location and it was the most beautiful venue - new, modern, spacious, and earthy. Mandi and her team were amazing during the prep beforehand and on the wedding day. The wedding day was so smooth, and I can't even imagine all the things they worked out behind the scenes without us knowing or stressing about it. Not only is Mandi's newest venue a dynamic and breathtaking space, but the atmosphere and team really make it stand out. We loved every moment of our day and know we couldn't have done it without Mandi's help.
