    McGuire's Millrace Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team led by Natalie was incredibly easy to communicate with - they were direct in their responses and fast to address any questions or concerns we had. On the day of, Natalie ran a tight ship and the wedding moved along seamlessly. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly amazing - the venue looked stunning, the service was top-notch, and they took care of every little detail so we could just focus on enjoying our special day. You will not be disappointed booking McGuire's Millrace Farm for your wedding!
