best venue in the game

When planning our wedding, the venue was the most important vendor for me and my husband. We wanted a barn setting, an all-inclusive venue, and a venue that would be beautiful and practical for any season of the year. Wright’s Mill Farm exceeded all of our expectations and then some. We had a few venue tours booked at the beginning of our wedding planning and Wright’s was the first venue we toured. The second we saw the venue and met Bri and Curt, we knew this had to be our wedding venue. We booked our date that same day and cancelled all of our other tours. The venue and the grounds are obviously gorgeous and make for some beautiful photos. But the best part about Wright’s is their staff.

Bri, the wedding coordinator, made our wedding day run so flawlessly. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. She also has the most amazing and positive energy and attitude that just radiates through everyone around her. Planning a wedding and your wedding day can certainly be stressful, but Bri didn’t allow us to stress for even a minute. She was so responsive and answered every question/email (which was a lot) within a few hours, sometimes even within a few minutes.

Curt, the owner, was definitely a bit more behind the scenes but the venue wouldn’t be the same without him. He was usually out doing some landscaping and keeping the grounds pristine during our many meetings but he would never let an e-mail or phone call go unanswered if Bri was unavailable. He made a presence after dinner to ask us how everything was going and to see if we needed anything, which of course we didn’t because they had already thought of everything.

We had the most minuscule hiccup on our wedding day, which no one would have noticed (literally my groom didn’t even notice), but it was solved within 45 minutes of bringing it up to Curt and Bri. They both care so deeply about their couples and they want your day to go exactly as planned and they will bend over backwards to make sure you have your dream wedding. I can honestly say that our day would not have been the same nor would it have run so smoothly without Bri and Curt!

We didn’t get to meet a ton of the wait staff or bartenders but our guests raved about the wait staff. They were accommodating, friendly, professional, and helpful. Cheryl was AMAZING and truly the life of the party. Our glasses were never empty and our stomachs were always full because Cheryl was so attentive. You could just tell she loved her job and that she was happy to be there for the bride and groom.

They also have their own DJ company, Upbeat DJ, who I 100% recommend having at your wedding at WMF. We spoke with Mark a few days before the wedding but we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting him. Regardless, he was so helpful and he answered all of our DJ/music-related questions despite not even working our wedding. We had Pat that was outside for our ceremony and another Pat that was inside during the cocktail hour/reception. We didn’t get a chance to meet outdoor Pat as our ceremony was only about 4 minutes long and we snuck off before getting to meet him but the acoustics were perfect. Indoor Pat made our wedding a BLAST. We had a list of “must-plays” and an ever longer list of “do not plays”. He not only played all of our must plays but he filled the rest of the reception with similar songs that kept everyone on the dance floor and kept the music-snob bride and groom happy.

Now for the food. We were nervous about not having a tasting but all of our qualms went away the second we saw the food. I had some of their bridal suite snack while getting ready and they were DELICIOUS. The spreads were plentiful and we snacked on them all day. They even gave us fresh fruits, veggies, and cheeses to take back to our hotel for our after party. The hor doeuvres were SO yummy and all of our guests were able to try a little bit of everything. The salad, appetizer, and main entrees were honestly some of the best wedding foods I have ever eaten. They had SO many options to satisfy both the pickiest eaters and the snobbiest foodies. They even let us customize our menu a little bit!

There aren’t enough fantastic things to say about this venue and their staff. Our guests still rave about our wedding and usually the beauty of the venue and the staff are at the top of their compliments. Couldn’t recommend this venue more. If you make the best decision ever to to book here, highly recommend a post ceremony photo shoot in the bridle suite with you and your hubby. It makes for some killer pics.

Incredible staff and spectacular layout!

Bri and Curt were amazing and the venue was everything we could’ve asked for. From the very start of booking, they were quick to respond and transparent about pricing and packages. They were flexible in allowing us to change the package we decided on and were always helpful in recommending different options. The venue itself was quite literally the perfect layout. The bar was right near the dance floor which was amazing, the outside options were accessible and comfortable, and everything being in one room made for a great celebration. As soon as me and my husband walked in from the ceremony, Bri brought me to the bridal suite to bustle my dress (which was SO appreciated because I don’t know if I would’ve ever gotten around to it!) and Cheryl brought us drinks all night! Cheryl was the best, all night she made sure we had a drink in hand and checked in to see if we wanted another serving of any of the food. When we weren’t at the table she covered our dinner to keep it warm! Dinner service was so quick and belly’s were full! Mark at Upbeat DJ was an absolute hit playing all the songs we requested and was amazing at facilitating speeches and entrances. He kept the dance floor full all night and was so easy going to work with!!! The whole staff At wrights mill farm were helpful, nice, and fun! Cannot recommend this venue enough!

Simply amazing!

I simply don't even know if I have the words to describe how grateful I am for the Wrights Mill Farm family. Our day, and all of the planning leading up to it, we're nothing but amazing. If I could give you a million stars, I would. Everyone of the Wrights team was so kind and accommodating. My whole family and I want to thank you so much for everything you did. Our wedding is something that we will remember forever, and that is all because of you.

Brie, you are wonder women. You worked so hard to make everything absolutely perfection for our special day. Not only did I appreciate your attention to detail, but also the special individualized attention that you gave to my family and I made us feel like royalty. You made sure to frequently check in, and supported me through the whole process. From giving me pep talks, bustling my dress, joining in on the dance party and providing comic relief all day, I'M TRULY IN LOVE WITH YOU. I now consider Brie a friend and I look forward to many more memories that we can build together.
Curt, your food was CHEFS KISS! My husband comes from a large Italian family and food is so critical. We heard nothing but amazing things and we were blown away. Also, your hard work and detail that goes into the facility, does not go unnoticed. We were in awe with all parts of the venue the day we booked and all the way leading up to the day of the wedding.
Mark and Patrick from UpBeat, you are both PERFECT. You fully delivered. You played absolutely everything we asked and MORE. Your energy made the room so lively. You had us laughing ALL night.
Special shout out to server, Krissy who was literally my right hand gal all night. Reminding us to eat, having a drink in my hand before I was empty, dancing with me, organizing my stuff and giving my baby special attention. You are AMAZING. Thanks for being the worlds best bridesmaid LOL.
Also, we absolutely loved our cake, which was so delicious, and the magical horse and wagon. Two perfect elements of our perfect day.
Although this is their norm, they understood how special today was for my husband and I and treated us like it was their first and only as well.

Thank you Wrights Mill Farm family. We are so so happy that we created so many memories with you. We can't wait to come back and visit and share all of our special moments with baby Charlotte.

Same time next year?!

Wright's Mill, WMF, the unstoppable crew up in Canterbury....I could go on & on about how wonderful the owners & staff are. Whether they are the main family running the venue, or the rest of the group working for them, you'll never feel anything short of welcome there. They go above and beyond for their couples & the energy is contagious. I'm lucky to have become a part of their "farmily" and cannot recommend them enough.

Wright's Mill Farm is one of my favorite places to photograph weddings. The staff is professional, reliable and outstanding at making the day run smoothly. Wright's Mill has beautiful scenic backdrops including rustic barns and a covered bridge. I cannot speak highly enough of Wright's Mill and everyone there. Highly recommended!
