About this venue

There is a special sort of feeling that being here at the farm brings, a calm and peaceful energy about the property. Maybe it is the history, there is comfort in knowing the original farmhouse, which sits at the center of the property, has stood for over two centuries. Maybe its the rustic beauty of the big white barn, that was built by farmers as a dairy barn in 1920. This little slice of heaven has been a part of so many families who lived and worked this land over the past 250 years. Come and see for yourself.

Belle's Pleasure
From the moment we started planning, Emily and Adam at Belle's Pleasure made us feel heard and supported. They responded to our questions quickly and with genuine warmth, creating a space where we felt comfortable sharing our ideas without judgment. Emily was especially helpful during the design phase—she worked through frame layouts with us and offered honest feedback based on what has worked well for past couples. What really stood out was how they balanced our vision with their expertise, never making us feel like our questions were silly. The venue itself is stunning and well-kept, with an open layout that felt perfect for our celebration. We're so grateful to the Belle's Pleasure team for making the planning process enjoyable and helping us create a day that was truly ours.

Simply the Best!
What a magical spot for our special day! We chose Belles Pleasure for our wedding, and it exceeded every expectation. The venue’s rustic barn is absolutely adorable—think charming wooden beams, string lights, and that cozy, vintage vibe that made our reception feel intimate and timeless. The beautiful little pond added such a serene touch; our photos by the water were straight out of a fairytale, with the gentle reflections and surrounding greenery creating the perfect backdrop. Emily, the owner, was an absolute dream to work with. From our first tour to the big day, she was incredibly accommodating, helping us customize everything from seating arrangements to last-minute tweaks without any fuss. Her warm, flexible approach made the planning process stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you’re dreaming of a picturesque, heartfelt wedding venue that’s not over-the-top but full of character, Belles Pleasure is it. We couldn’t recommend it more highly—5 stars all the way!

Emily was kind, encouraging, and so easy to work with. Our ceremony through the arches and our pictures viewing the beautiful pond, absolutely stunning everything came together to create the most beautiful backdrop for our vows. The entire property is breathtaking, and it truly became the perfect setting for our dream wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Mother of the Bride
Belle's Pleasure was an ideal venue for my daughter's outdoor wedding! First of all, the cottage is so lovely and was a very comfortable place for the bride and her attendants to get ready for that most special day! The grounds are gorgeous and pristine in every direction, from the beautifully lit up barn to the pond and natural tree background. Guests thoroughly enjoyed lawn games on the expansive well manicured grass, and spending time at the pond and charming dock area. Emily, the owner, is very friendly, available, and could not have been more accommodating. We had an amazing, very memorable, beautiful wedding at Belle's Pleasure!
