I own an Airstream photo booth company and I travel to Gilbertsville Farmhouse for weddings regularly. I LOVE the venue and the family/staff that own/run the property are the BEST!
Super easy to work with, responsive, tentative and caring. They are super dedicated to making both the vendor and client experience perfect.

Best weekend ever!


Choosing Gilbertsville farmhouse as the venue for our July 6, 2024 wedding was easily the best decision we could have possible made.


My husband attended a family friend’s wedding at GF back in 2018. They shared so many stories and memories about the weekend spent on the farm. After getting engaged in June of 2023 and beginning the search for venues, I ~*stubbornly*~ tried my hardest to find something “new” and different, but something kept bringing us back to GF and we ultimately ended up booking the venue without even seeing it in person (me at least).

From the moment we booked, Brandon took complete and total care of us. Having worked in event management for years I have always struggled with letting go of control, but Brandon made it simple. My husband and I trusted Brandon from the start as he immediately reminded us of one of our hometown friends. We genuinely looked forward to our zoom meetings with him, our in person food tasting, and all of the In between conversations that went into planning the best weekend of our lives.

Truthfully thats what our wedding weekend was to us, The best weekend ever. A few highlights that I need to note, because these type of things just don’t happen at other venues - 1) our food allergy friends had rave reviews about the attentive care that went in to providing them with food all weekend, 2) Brandon took the time to make my younger sister, who was terribly nervous about giving a speech, feel at ease, and comfortable 3) During photos all my husband and I were talking about was how excited we were for a cocktail -a tequila and lemonade- Katie drove the golf cart all the way down to the farmhouse to fix us up two tequila lemonades for us while we finished our photos.

I could go on and on but these were a few “wow” moments, that makes this venue elite. Above and beyond is an understatement, the staff at Gilbertsville is flawless and, Brandon Katie John Shelby and the ENTIRE team is legendary. Thank you Brandon and Gilbertsville for the best weekend of our lives!
