About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Cricket Chirp Farm is a family-owned-and-operated barn and farm wedding venue located in Mc Gaheysville, Virginia. This boutique setting has a rare combination of features. These are a century-old and intimate greenhouse as a ceremony site, a century-old farmhouse for get-ready rooms, and a Black Walnut forest as a reception site. All of these beautiful spots are tucked in between the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains. This is an exquisite setting for a truly unforgettable wedding day.

Facilities and Capacity

This 100-year-old Greenhouse can be booked as an intimate ceremony space for up to 100 guests or as the focal point for a larger group where some guests remain outdoors. The Victorian House and Venue was built in 1917. This historic property has a Bridal Suite, Groom's Suite, kitchen, and caterer prep rooms, as well as the reception area. A couple may hold their reception here beneath the towering branches of Black Walnut trees.

Services Offered

The Cricket Chirp Farm staff offers a tour of the property ahead of a wedding. This setting is also marvelous for photography sessions. A wedding site fee includes the use of get-ready rooms, parking, audio-visual equipment, tables, linens, and chairs.

Location

Cricket Chirp Farm is about a 20-minute drive from the middle of Harrisonburg and about a 40-minute drive from Staunton. There are several airports in the region which wedding attendees can make use of. These include Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport, Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, Richmond International Airport, Dulles International Airport, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Stunning Venue in the Shenandoah Valley!

Melanie and Steve at Cricket Chirp Farm truly made our wedding search remarkable. Their kindness and generosity shone through as they went above and beyond to ensure everything would run smoothly. The stunning property provided us with the flexibility we needed, allowing us to include our furry friends in the ceremony, work with our chosen caterers, and offered a truly unique experience.

The venue's pet-friendly policy was a big plus for us, as we would be able to have our beloved dogs be a part of our special day. Additionally, Melanie and Steve were not only accommodating but also very understanding of our needs, making the whole process stress-free.

One aspect that stood out to us was the level of flexibility Cricket Chirp Farm offered regarding catering options. Being able to bring in our preferred caterer really added a personal touch.

Overall, we would highly recommend Cricket Chirp Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with accommodating hosts who truly care about making your wedding day special. Thank you, Melanie and Steve!

Incredible venue!

Cricket Chirp Farm is an absolutely ideal setting to celebrate your wedding day. My niece was recently married there and everything (and I truly do mean EVERY thing!) was perfect. Do yourself a favor and visit their website and read not only the history of this century old venue - but the vision the Tomasi family has put into play to create your fairy tale beginning as husband and wife. Beautiful venues in the wedding-world are plentiful, but the love, care, and commitment provided by Melanie and Steve to each and every wedding is unparalleled as they work diligently to see YOUR wedding dreams come to fruition. Melanie has a professional background in event planning and her attention to detail is flawless. Steve is Melanie's right hand man - and is equally as involved in the day to day operations. More importantly, they understand that each wedding is unique to the taste and style of the bridal couple. Not only does this dynamic duo bring their expertise to the preplanning of your wedding day but they are also gracious in welcoming you and your guests with open arms, encouragement, and friendly smiles!

Cricket Chirp Farm has become a labor of love for the Tomasi`. The farmhouse, the greenhouse, new pavilion (complete with chandeliers!) are nestled in a beautiful grove of graceful old walnut trees. The accommodations are immaculate and the grounds are just perfect for your special day. Another unique feature of Cricket Chirp Farm is their extensive list of wedding items they offer to 'loan'. Former brides have made this feature possible by gifting gently used (and sometimes brand new) decorations to the Farm. Instead of capitalizing on these lovely treasures and renting them out - the Farm provides pictures (and quantities) of each item they have available. I was very fortunate to be the wedding coordinator for my niece's special day and this one feature alone offered great cost and time saving decorations that they are happy for you to use for your own wedding day.

I would like to add that this is not a faux 'paid' review. My sentiments are from the heart based on first-hand experience. It's not often that you can leave an event and still have this feel-good feeling weeks later. From the moment we first visited the farm for a tour we knew we had made the right choice in this venue. Weddings can be stressful - but at Cricket Chirp Farm your day can be stress-free. You may start out as strangers, but I promise you will end up as family with Steve and Melanie!

If you want beautiful memories and a loving environment as you begin your first hours as newlyweds, be sure to let YOUR 'happily ever after' begin at Cricket Chirp Farm!
