About

Updike Farmstead, a beautifully restored late 18th/early 19th century farmhouse & barn set on six acres in Princeton, NJ, is now available for weddings, May through October. The barn is ideal for parties of 125 or fewer, but with additional tenting, we can accommodate up to 200 guests.

The expansive back porch overlooks the bucolic landscape of preserved farmland and an open yard. There are multiple locations on the property for a ceremony as well. We have put together an excellent team of four exclusive caterers and a equipment rental company to help you plan your special day.

Spectacular Venue!

We had an incredible wedding at Updike Farmstead, there are so many lovely elements of this venue. The facilities are excellent, the venue coordinators are helpful and organized and the venue itself is beautiful and intimate yet spacious due to the grounds.

Perfect Barn Wedding Venue

Updike Farmstead provided a spectacular setting for our daughter's rustic wedding just minutes from Princeton. The event coordinator was accommodating and provided recommendations for vendors to create who helped us create our dream wedding. All our guests raved about the barn and the outdoor space. Cocktails outside amid the outbuildings and windmill, dinner in the beautifully transformed barn and dancing under a tent out the back doors - perfect!!

Great experience, beautiful place

It was a true pleasure working with Leanne to plan our wedding at Updike Farmstead. She is professional, responsive, reasonable, and forthcoming. While we ended up having to change wedding plans due to the current health climate, we would recommend Updike Farmstead to anyone looking for a beautiful space to host their wedding or celebration.
