Does the venue fit the look and style I am going for?
Many couples think that they don’t need to decide on a wedding style early on, but I disagree. If you want to have a fairytale ballroom wedding, there is no use in looking at elegant barn venues. If you are looking for a more casual setting with outdoor mountaintop ceremony spaces, then cross off the fancy hotel venues. Choosing a wedding venue that fits the style you are looking for will also help you save on decorations and decor because the look you are going for is already there and you aren’t trying to ‘transform’ a space to be something it isn’t.
Is the venue full service, DIY, or somewhere in between?
Looking for a wedding venue that offers a perfect balance between full service and DIY? Look no further than Hidden Pastures Farm. Nestled in the serene countryside, our venue provides the ideal space for you to create the wedding of your dreams. From picturesque ceremony spaces to rustic reception areas, we offer a range of amenities including tables, chairs, and decor items. While you have the freedom to choose your own vendors for catering and flowers, we also have a list of trusted professionals who have worked with our venue before. With Hidden Pastures Farm, you can have the best of both worlds – the convenience of a full-service venue with the personal touch of creating your own unique wedding.

What does the venue look like during the season I want to get married?
Couples probably have a good idea of what season they want to tie the knot, which will help to shape the wedding venue search. But don’t forget: many venues might showcase images from a beautiful season like summer on their websites, so make sure you ask to see pictures from the season you intend to get married. If the venue holds weddings in all seasons, make sure you ask questions such as, “Is there heat and air conditioning? Is there a ‘backup’ space if all of a sudden it starts to rain? If there is good lighting so that our guests will be able to see as the evening goes on?” While getting married might be one of the most exciting times in a person’s life, you also need to take into account any special accommodations your guests might need when selecting a venue. While any established wedding venue will have proper accessibility for people with disabilities, a venue that is not typically rented out as a business might not have full wheelchair access or adequate rest room facilities.
What hours will you have access to the venue?
What is the payment structure and required deposit amount?
Here are a few important questions to ask about the financial requirements of a venue. Number one, what is the rental fee? What is included in that price? What is the refund policy? You can also inquire about a discount for a day or season that is not as popular. Second, how much is the deposit? When is it due? And third, do they offer a payment plan? You should get ALL of this in writing so there are no misunderstandings! Also, be aware that many venues do not lock in your date until they have a signed contract and your initial payment.
Do I have to use a list of required vendors?
Are there overnight accomodations nearby?
Is there plenty of parking for my guests?
At Hidden Pastures Farm, we understand that planning your dream wedding involves countless decisions. That’s why we take pride in providing ample parking for your guests, conveniently located within walking distance of our Event Barn.
