1885 Farms

"On 11/11/23, my husband and I got married at 1885 Farms. Not only was the day incredible and honestly a dream, but the entire process through them for outstanding! From the moment I first reached out, Audrey was beyond helpful! The experience that you get here, compared to any other venue that we looked at was unmatched! Audrey and her team work like a well oiled machine to make sure that your day is perfect! I absolutely recommend 10/10 to go with this venue, pay extra for the bridal suite to get ready in with your girls, and stay in the incredible barn estate for the weekend with your wedding party! It makes a weekend you truly will never forget!"

"If you’ve never been to 1885 Farms you need to just GO. The property feels like you are miles away from everything, even though you’re not. We were planning on having a destination wedding in Florida until we visited this location. As soon as we saw it we just knew and decided to make 1885 Farms our destination! We rented all of their accommodations for the weekend.. the main house, the farmhouse, the glamper and the honeymoon cottage and they were all fabulous! It was so wonderful having all our close friends and family right on property with us for both Friday and Saturday night. We also rented the bridal and cowboy suite to get ready in on wedding day. The bridal suite could not have been more perfect or comfortable for hair, makeup and hanging out and the only downside with the cowboy suite is that it was hard to get the guys to stop playing golf and get ready! Audrey has thought of absolutely everything and every room you walk into (even the bathrooms!) has such fun, beautiful touches that you feel like she decorated it just for you. Speaking of decorating… we paid extra to have Audrey and her staff do all of the decorating for us and let me tell you, it was worth EVERY PENNY. It made the day so much less stressful to not have to worry about setting up or staying afterwards to take everything down. Plus, we didn’t have to buy a bunch of decorations that we will never use again. They have so many decorations to choose from that I guarantee it will still feel every bit as unique and special as if you were doing it yourself…. only it will be even more awesome than you could have imagined. Trust me, Audrey has a GIFT. She also has such a calmness about her that she makes the whole process enjoyable and relaxing. She was always available to answer our questions and calm our fears and her concern for making our wedding THE BEST DAY EVER didn’t just seem genuine, it actually was. If you aren’t looking for a wedding venue but want to rent a big, beautiful house for a family vacation or a fun girls weekend, you should definitely check out the main house. We had Chef Max from Bites meal prep come to the house to cook dinner on Friday night and breakfast on Saturday morning and there was plenty of room for all 40 of us to hang out, eat and watch the Buckeyes game! The pool and patio area are beautiful as are the grounds. The drive to the property alone feels like you are heading somewhere magical. If you are looking for something fun and funky, try the glamper. It’s like it’s own little oasis! It even has an outdoor TV you can watch from your own hot tub. And you don’t have to be honeymooners to rent the honeymoon cottage! it is so incredibly luxurious and the one night we got to stay there was not nearly enough. I know this was a long review but this place (and Audrey) made our wedding so incredibly special and I just know she will do that for yours too. Give her a call and let her know her Norris family sent you."

"Absolutely amazing experience all the way around! Audrey and her crew are phenomenal! Every one of our guests said it was the most beautiful venue they have ever seen. Definitely couldn’t have imagined being married anywhere else. The house is beautiful with so much for the kids to do and enough room for all of our family to stay! I can’t thank Audrey and 1885 Farms enough!"

"If I could give 1885 farms 100 stars I would!! We had our wedding at the barn, stayed in the honeymoon suite, got ready in the bridal/cowboy suite, and spent the weekend with our wedding party who stayed in the airbnbs. I recommend everything!!! It was a wedding weekend straight out of a fairytale!!! Everything was perfect. I have family and friends tell me that they’ve been to a lot of weddings but they will always remember ours due to this venue!!! Audrey is so helpful and knowledgeable. We spent a couple hours with her one day picking our decorations, due to the wedding package we picked out, and she was ready for every idea I had!! I really can’t thank her enough for helping make my day perfect!!"

"My wedding at the 1885 Farm was straight out of a fairy tale! I could not recommend this venue more!!! It has so much to offer for a dream wedding: lodging Friday-Monday (for a Saturday wedding) with a pool, hot tub, and sleeping for 25+ friends/family members, dreamy getting ready suites for the women and men, a stunning honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding, 5+acres of flower fields to cut your own flowers, and all decor provided! The planning process with Audrey was so fun and thorough. She considered every detail and added so many wonderful personalized touches. Audrey is a truly talented designer and it shows in her work! Having all the decor items provided with the venue staff setting up and tearing down (and optional add-on) made our day stress free! We opted to pick our own flowers and make our own arrangements for every aspect of our wedding. I spent 3 hours the day before with some friends/family cutting flowers and WOW did our arrangements and bouquets turn out amazing! With a little research and beautiful flowers at our disposal, I’m so glad we chose this option. The Barn venue is a unique setting. Our ceremony under the oak trees provided a perfectly shaded spot. Dancing under the lit gazebo while other guests watched from the brand new patio and fire tables allowed everyone to enjoy the beautiful summer evening. Sunday we were able to relax at the house and pool with family and friends, making our special weekend last that much longer. Two small downfalls (although they should not deter you!): the barn does get quite warm despite the cooling fan system when it is full (we had ~155 guests). Additionally, the venue recommends preferred caterers that were out of our budget. We opted to go with a non-preferred caterer for a small fee to help us save. The entire property of the 1885 Farm provides activities for anyone and any age. We hope to return here on future anniversaries to relive the magic again and again!"
