Reviews by Couples Married at Sweet Berry Farm
“The venue is spectacular … We are so happy to have had the facility of the barn structure, amazing photo opportunities on the farm and were lucky enough to have good weather too. Many guests dubbed this as ‘best wedding ever’ and I know the venue had a lot to do with it!” -Kate, via WeddingWire
“We ordered raspberry jams as our favors for our wedding...I added our own stickers to the top to add a personal touch. We worked directly with Steve who was helpful and kind. They were a big hit.” -Brianne, via WeddingWire
“We had a clambake by Compton Clambakes...It was a beautiful setting and a perfect night. Everyone played lawn games (supplied by Sweet Berry) and enjoyed the evening until it was time to go into the barn for dinner. It was the ideal place for a rehearsal dinner.” -Caroline, via TheKnot
“Sweet Berry Farm really was the perfect venue for our day. I wanted very specific vendors and Sweet Berry gave me pretty much full control over our vendors which was fantastic. Jessica, their day-of-coordinator, is outstanding.” -Diandra, via WeddingWire
