amazing venue!
From our first conversation with Peggy and Travis at Smith Farm Gardens, we knew we'd found the right venue. Their team stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning process, and while communication shifted as they reorganized behind the scenes, it never felt disruptive because they were always working to add more to what they could offer us. By the time our wedding day arrived, there were so many new features and partnerships available that weren't there when we booked, which shows how committed they are to improving the experience. The natural beauty of the grounds created the perfect backdrop for our celebration, and every detail felt warm and inspiring. Peggy, Travis, and their crew went above and beyond to help us shape our event into something truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with.

The easiest decision!
My husband and I only toured Smith, and as soon as we set foot there, we knew we had secured our venue. The property is deeply cared for and maintained by a hardworking staff, and the incredible family that runs it all. We will forever be grateful to the entire Smith team for making our wedding day so effortless. They provided just about everything we needed to celebrate and host. Their in house florist Tanya went above and beyond to make our pinterest board come to life. Staying over in the farmhouse and cottage alongside our family and friends was so special. Smith also has an amazing preferred vendors list, which is how we found our photographer, and catering team.

The most magical garden party wedding!
Smith Farm Gardens was nothing short of perfection for our wedding in May. From the breathtaking scenery to the exceptional staff, every detail exceeded our expectations and created the most beautiful backdrop for the best day of our lives. We received countless compliments from our guests, and we couldn't imagine celebrating such a special day anywhere else. We are forever grateful for the unforgettable memories made here and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly magical wedding experience.

Incredible Venue
The team at Smith Farm Gardens was incredibly communicative, flexible, and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - the beautiful farmhouse and meticulously maintained grounds provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. My bridesmaids and I stayed in the farmhouse the night before the wedding, and my husband and I rented the on-site cottage for our wedding night. Owners Travis and Peggy were incredible to work with and ensured our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of. We had the most beautiful wedding that I will remember forever.

Bride
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience working with Travis and his mother at Smith Farm Gardens, for our wedding venue Their communication was truly exceptional - they were always quick to respond to our questions, often within minutes, and took the time to clearly address any concerns we had. Travis and his mother were incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, making the entire process stress-free. The quality of their work was simply impeccable. Their attention to detail was amazing, the beauty of our wedding were beyond our expectations. The venue itself was already so beautiful that we hardly needed any additional decorations - everything just came together perfectly. Smith farm gardens was the dream wedding venue without a doubt! Between the stunning venue, the history, the kind and responsive owners, we could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this vendor to any couple planning their wedding.
