    Overall experience

    Linda and Phil were an absolutely amazing couple to work with. They went above and beyond with there help throughout the whole wedding planning process and made the big day a breeze. We got married in October so the weather was a toss up but they ended up having a back up plan (indoor ceremony) option ready to go in case the weather turned bad. It did end up raining on our big day but it held off for our 30 minute ceremony but they were more than understanding and accommodating for what the bride and groom wanted and they had no complaints waiting up until the literal last minute for us to decide to keep our ceremony outside. There venue is absolutely stunning with all the chandeliers and willow tree making this a dream venue. Included in the package was also the Friday and Sunday before and after the wedding date making setup and tear down easier and more convenient along with having all of there decor available to use so we didn't have to bother buying and setting up our own decor. They were quick with there correspondence and helpful with there recommendations. I would highly encourage anyone and everyone to get married or host some form of party or shower at this amazing venue. You will not be disappointed.

    French Hen Farm is the PERFECT venue

    The space is so gorgeous and unique. The over 50 vintage chandeliers inside the barn make the whole space glitter and glow. The grounds are stunning and made the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and pictures. We were able to have lawn games and a fire outside for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and our guests loved it. They had so much fun!

    Linda and Phil are just the best. They are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and you can tell they love what they do - they put their heart and soul into French Hen Farm. They provide a huge array of decorations and more to rent on your wedding day free of charge, and I’ve never heard of another venue doing that! The prop collection is amazing, and it saved us so much time, stress, and money. Linda’s attention to detail and eye for design is unmatched. She created the PERFECT space for us.

    Our guests have not stopped raving about French Hen and said it’s a wedding they will never forget. Our day was perfect and magical, and I owe a huge part of that to Linda and Phil. Could not recommend this venue more!!

    The most AMAZING wedding venue!!!

    The minute we pulled in to French Hen Farm and saw it in person for the first time, we knew this was where we were meant to get married! Not only is the venue and property itself stunning, but Phil and Linda are the most kindhearted, helpful, wonderful people!!! I honestly cannot speak highly enough of them. They were so flexible with us as we live out of state and always accommodated our schedule for phone calls and visits when we were in town. They recommended vendors, gave us incredibly helpful advice and guidance, and honestly kept our spirits up when we were feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning! All our family, friends, and guests were blown away with French Hen Farm as well and we received endless compliments about how gorgeous our venue was. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough!!!

    Literally the best

    The experience we had with Phil and Linda at French hen farm was beyond what we could have ever imagined. From our first visit to the big day, I never doubted that they were in my corner when it came to wanting our day to be perfect. Being able to have the venue for 3 days to set up and do rehearsal on Friday, and come back on Sunday morning to get everything, was a true game changer. Linda’s eye for design is so inspiring and she truly made my vision come to life. I would recommend them time and time again for anyone who doesn’t know where to start with their wedding planning. Start at French hen

    Absolutely fabulous wedding venue

    My son and daughter-in-law did not need to make decorations, etc. The place was beautiful, and we could have gone in and immediately had the wedding. We had the use of the venue the entire weekend, and it made the wedding very stress free.

    Absolute Best Venue in Ohio

    If i could give French Hen Farm 100 stars I would. My daughter had her wedding this past weekend there. Phil and Linda were the absolute most wonderful people to work with. They were super responsive to any questions we had right up until and even after the wedding. The decor they provided was absolutely stunning. Linda even gave us a suggestion on how to elevate the look even more! They were there during the event to help in any way we needed. We had a threat of rain that morning, but Linda and Phil made us feel it was no issue, and they would make it beautiful even if we had to go indoors. When we were looking over pics afterwards, they even left us a sweet pic in our selfie gallery. Please do not look any farther if you still haven’t decided where to have your wedding! You will absolutely not be disappointed to have your event here.

    Best venue

    This is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen. My guests loved the multiple seating options. Phil and Linda go above and beyond to make their couples feel welcome. My vendors as well as my guests all loved the space. We loved being able to borrow decor and make the space our vision of our perfect day.

    Best. Venue. Ever.

    French Hen Farm is the only place I wanted to get married when I got engaged! From our first tour to our special day, Linda and Phil were there every step of the way with their expertise. The property is gorgeous and the decor provided to choose from made my vision come true. Using their decor, saved me so much money and time. Linda and Phil even secretly saved the day when I had forgot to plan for utensils for dessert. I didn’t even know it happened until the day was over! You couldn’t ask for better people. We love this venue so much, we even came back a year later to celebrate our baby girl with a baby shower at French Hen! You won’t be disappointed choosing French Hen Farms and Linda and Phil!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    1000% recommend!! And that’s not a typo — 1,000 percent!! We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else! Phil & Linda Shandle are a dream to work with — kind, thoughtful, extremely helpful, and all-around amazing hosts. The venue itself is stunning, well kept, and offers a large variety of decorations and beautiful flora. Absolutely amazing!

    Chose for the looks, stayed for the people

    Phil and Linda are absolutely amazing to work with. Not only do you get a beautiful venue but two of the most helpful and wonderful human beings I've ever met. They helped make our vision come to life and I cannot thank them more. From providing couples with 3 days of setup/wedding/teardown to a beautiful array of rentals, they helped us create a magical environment. If we had to do it all over again we would choose French Hen Farms 100 times over. Much love, The Spurlocks

    The French Hen Farm

    The owners, Linda and Phil, are so wonderful to work with and were very responsive to any type of question or concern I had from the time I booked with them until the day of my wedding. They are super helpful and for such a great cost you are able to have the venue Friday to Sunday which was such a relief knowing we had time to set-up and to clean up the next day. We used a lot of their rentals; all their pieces are so great and it makes it very easy, convenient, and inexpensive to have items that you can rent and then leave with them after the wedding. The entire process with them was just a great experience and they truly know what they are doing. I highly recommend The French Hen Farm to anyone!!

    Book this place now!

    We were fortunate enough to have the inaugural winter Holiday wedding ceremony at French Hen Farm, COVID 2020. I just can’t say enough about the beautiful venue and the expert customer service by the owners, Linda and Phil. Awesome! Even during a pandemic we were delivered a safe and incredible wedding experience. Phil officiated for Madelyn and Garrett’s ceremony and made it very special with heartfelt sentiments we all will remember for a lifetime. We heard about French Hen Farm from a friend who happen to drive by. My family now has unforgettable memories tucked away in that beautifully decorated barn.

    Professional, responsive, helpful and so kind!

    The barn is stunning. We had originally wanted to get married outside but the weather unfortunately didn’t work out that way. However Phil and Linda made sure everything was perfect for us inside the barn. The price of the barn is incredible and being able to rent items instead of buying was so convenient. We had the most incredible day with our friends and family. We will always recommend this venue to anyone.

    Excellent Venue

    We loved French Hen Farm. The venue was beautiful. Phil and Linda were so accommodating and helpful during the whole process and helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. Phil even officiated our wedding and did a beautiful job. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Very affordable priced compared to a lot of venues in the area and surrounding areas, and their wedding decor rental options were very helpful in keeping wedding costs down. Overall was a very great experience and the owners were very nice people as well! 100% recommend.

    Like a Fairytale!

    This venue was everything and more for our wedding day! They were easy to work with, accomodating in every way, and had everything we needed to make the day go off without a hitch. They were around all weekend when we needed them helping my day of coordinator keep things running smoothly. I don't typically write reviews for things or places but it is the least I can do so that others can have the same amazing experience we did.

    Amazing venue!

    They are the sweetest couple with the most beautiful property! Constantly updating the property. Have tons of options to help get your big day accomplished and accomplished seamlessly. Very helpful with everything from the set up to the year down. And amazing with emotional support! I have a grandfather whose health isn’t well and couldn’t make it and a grandmother who passed in the last few years and was a little upset they wouldn’t be there. Both Phil and Linda took time to talk to me and help me through things! Highly recommend!

    My fairytale wedding

    My wedding day was absolutely amazing! Phil and Linda are wonderful! I didn’t have to worry about a thing that day and they made sure that all my questions were answered. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! I could not have asked for a better place to have the best day of my life take place. So many details put into place that just made the day so memorable! If I could do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing!

    Dream venue!

    I knew I wanted to get married at French Hen Farm before I was even engaged. The gorgeous barn and grounds and fair prices drew me in, but the owners Phil & Linda made me so certain that this was the perfect venue! When an unexpected storm showed up right as guests arrived, Phil and Linda made sure that everything worked out to still be a beautiful day! They quickly became like family and were there to provide advice, helping hands and lots of love on our wedding day. We are so grateful that we chose French Hen Farm for our wedding venue—it was truly the best decision we made in the entire wedding process! Phil and Linda, thank you for treating us like family and for making our day one we will never forget!

    Our Dream Wedding

    Phil and Linda were absolutely amazing! The biggest reason we chose French Hen Farm was because of the two of them, they are the sweetest and truly want to make your day special. The venue itself is stunning and has that rustic yet elegant feel, which is exactly what we wanted. Phil and Linda were quick to help from decorating to answering any questions we had. They went above and beyond to make it a dream!! The whole process was smooth and enjoyable, even while planning our wedding during a pandemic. We definitely will book this venue in the future if we have another event to plan.

    Absolutely incredible

    Absolutely AMAZING!! Phil and Linda were great to work with before and even during the wedding. They made sure every detail was perfect. The barn is BEAUTIFUL!! All of the updates done to the barn did not go unnoticed by anyone. The chandeliers are the reason why I chose to get married there and at night when they were all on, it was a dream come true. My guests are still talking about how perfect everything was. You are having a small to medium size wedding, look no further and go with the French Hen!!

    Linda and Phil were simply amazing to work with! You won’t regret picking French Hen Farm for your wedding venue.

    My husband and I were scheduled to get married in May 2020, near the beginning of Covid. I started to hear horror stories of venues not being flexible with couples but that was far from our experience with French Hen Farm. They showed us that they cared and this wasn’t just a transaction for them. They did all they could to extend their wedding season, allowing us to have our special day in November 2020. The venue itself doesn’t need much as it’s already so beautiful, but the items available for rent only make it more beautiful. Linda helped us set up and decorate and was so helpful. I cannot express how appreciative we are for both of them. Because of them and their beautiful venue, we had such a special day that we won’t forget!

    French Hen Farm's reply:

    Kayla,
    Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to write a review! We hope you are enjoying married life! We were so thankful you stayed with us through the craziness last year! And your wedding was soooooo beautiful! Wishing you both much love, luck & happiness always!!!!

    Make you feel like family

    I can’t say enough about Phil & Linda. In the season of COVID, they took on the challenges we all faced with ease, making sure our day was still completely perfect. Phil & Linda make sure you have everything you could ever want or need. We did a Google Meet for my grandparents to watch our ceremony, and Phil & Linda made sure no one in my family had to step away to open the doors so that everyone could watch. It’s just the simple things that made a huge difference. They’re some of the best people you will work with. If you’re looking to have the most enjoyable, relaxing day (which it should be!!), please check out French Hen Farm. I cannot recommend them enough!
