NEW BRANCH FARMS Reviews

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely stunning!! We had so many compliments and the owners were easy and great to work with!!

The owners of New Branch Farms will do everything in their power to make sure your day is as special as your dreamed. They have been family friends for years and when I heard they were building a venue I knew I wanted to get married there. When I booked the venue they had not even broken ground yet. A little under a year I was walking into the barn in my dress tears streaming down my face from pure bliss. They are truly an amazing couple to work with and will help in any way they can. The venue is beautiful for any type of event! Wendy thought of everything when doing the little touches, they even have TVs to play your engagement photos on!

If I could I would give them a million star review but this only lets me do 5 stars! If you are looking for an amazing venue, wonderful people to work with and a day you won't forget go with New Branch Farms.

Sam & Wendy really did put their heart and soul into New Branch Farms and it shows. They are genuinely just good people & great to work with. The venue is laid out beautifully & they continue to add to it and make it even more amazing. They are so organized and help you through the whole planning process. Even on our wedding day, they were there helping with everything from moving tables to laying out our silverware with our day of coordinator. We also stayed at the air b&b on site and that was a such a blessing because we had our adult children as our wedding party, we all went to the house at the end of the night, I didn’t have to worry about anyone being to tired or drinking too much to drive. I can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else, absolutely recommend New Branch!

Wow! Where do we even begin! This venue is absolutely AMAZING! This venue felt like a home away from home. Wendy & Sam did our engagement pictures, they turned out so beautiful! Took their time on everything! We had our wedding here Thursday October 5, 2023 and all of our guests loved it! Not just how beautiful the venue itself is, how nice the layout and entire build! But the love is here! This venue takes you in and makes you family forever! Everything we needed, little or small it was all taken care of. Wendy isn’t just a photographer, she’s family! She is peace and love! Sam helped so much and comforted me right before I walked down the aisle. This experience was so lovely and they did it with so much grace! Our entire family and vendors had SO MUCH great things to say about this place! Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day! If you’re searching for a wedding/event venue PLEASE check New Branch Farms out! We can not recommend them enough! We look forward to our future family events being here! Wendy & Sam, THANK YOU!

As many others have said before, Wendy and Sam are the most amazing people and I couldn't be happier that my husband and I chose to get married at New Branch Farms. When we toured, the facility was not yet complete but we could see the vision they had for the indoor and outdoor spaces. Furthermore, we also could see the passion Wendy and Sam have for New Branch Farms, and that ultimately is what made our decision so easy.
They were communicative throughout the entire process, never making me feel like a burden when I had silly little questions as I was planning. Every single detail of New Branch Farms is well-thought out and beautiful. Our wedding day was hands down the best day of my life, and I am endlessly grateful to Wendy and Sam for their pivotal role in making it great.
As an added bonus- it was so fun to have Wendy as our photographer. We were able to get to know her and spend time with her leading up to the wedding day. She made us feel at ease and actually helped my photo-hating husband enjoy the process!
Thank you so much to Wendy and Sam for creating the perfect wedding venue at New Branch Farms! I cannot recommend them enough!

New Branch Farms in Smithfield, Virginia, is absolutely where you want to have your wedding. From the very first time I met Wendy and Sam they were so kind and answered any of my questions with ease. They made me feel comfortable during this hard decision. Turns out it wasn't that hard of a decision after all! After meeting them and seeing the venue, I quickly knew this is where I wanted to get married. I truly can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area, stunning outside areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour and pictures, plenty of parking, beautiful view of the trees. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. Wendy and Sam were amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. They also work with a lot of great vendors that they recommend to you. Any time I texted Wendy with a question she was very quick to respond despite being so busy. She really made me feel important. I loved that we chose New Branch Farms, 100/10!

My husband and I visited New Branch Farms in the early stages of our planning while the space was still studs and beams. From the first moment we toured and met Sam & Wendy, we instantly knew this was it. They are the most genuine people and truly made our dreams come true. This past Saturday our vision came to life and we had the best day of our lives in the venue of our dreams. All of our guests complimented the natural lighting, the chandeliers, and just overall how beautiful it was there. We hosted our ceremony indoors while it rained outside and were still able to keep the garage doors open which added to the list of “wow” factors. After the ceremony, we did a brief room flip and had the perfect dance floor space for the reception. I would recommend New Branch a thousand times to anyone looking. Thank you Sam & Wendy!

Sam and Wendy are an amazing couple to work with!

Excellent support for all required needs. Beautiful venue with exterior wedding areas. Owners are very nice and supportive!

Best Venue Ever!!!!! Wendy and Sam (the owners) are some of the most kind-hearted people you will ever meet! They made this process so smooth. I honestly, not only loved getting married at the venue, but I loved having them as part of my big day! Honesty...I can't say enough about them! They are so friendly, flexible, sincere, responsive, and easy to work with. Not to mention...they built the most beautiful venue I've ever seen! They have plenty of natural lighting, natural wood elements, elegant and rustic features and sooooooo much space! The lighting was perfect, the space was perfect and just the natural beauty of the property was perfect! Sam and Wendy go above and beyond to make your wedding day go smooth! Just beautiful! If I could say anything more about them, I would. Words don't do this venue justice. I would 10 out of 10 recommend this place every time! Strongly recommend! Get married here. I promise you won't regret it!

I can truly say this is an amazing venue owned by amazing people! Wendy and Sam are extremely welcoming and accommodating. My big day was absolutely perfect. I have watched this venue be built from the ground up with so much care and thought put into it. It’s breath taking. If you’re questioning it, schedule a tour!! I promise it’s so worth it.
