My only negative is that I wish there were more areas to sit down and take in the scenery.. I was happy to discover a shaded area with a table and some chairs near a chicken coop where I was able to enjoy Mother Nature. There also are stations to get food to feed the animals like the chicken, duck and fish. Also, when you enter the botanical garden, they give you a wristband that allows you to leave and re-enter for the day which is great especially because there are a couple of fun places with activities and restaurants right in the same area as the garden!!

I was told that it's also a place where local employees can work out of, as well as game watching events. Our particular trip was to watch the UFC Championship. A very bright and inviting space once you walk in. We were greeted well and directed to the game viewing area. They had a full wait staff that did a great job checking in with us throughout the night. I ordered a Malibu and pineapple, and shared a 14" meat lovers oven pizza and a buffalo chicken wrap. The wrap comes with grilled chicken but in seeing that they had other breaded chicken options on their menu, I asked if it could be switched. It seemed to have caused a little confusion but I think that was due to the high volume of noise in the room. However, the wrap game out with grilled chicken still. She apologized and had the kitchen make another. The dual projection monitors allowed great viewing of the game for a such a large room. This place is with checking out even if you're just grabbing drinks for Happy Hour. Despite the lengthy distance from me , it's unique and makes me want to see what else it has to offer.

The venue is absolutely breathtaking and so versatile you can literally make any wedding dream come true! The team is so professional, responsive and flexible that it made planning a breeze. I'm the first one to admit I'm a bit of a control freak with details and everything was perfect down to the last minute of the wedding. We hired our own vendors which was something we really wanted and it wasn't an issue at all. There is an on site bridal suite and a separate room downstairs for the groom and his men to get ready as well! Our day was magical and I wish we could relive it everyday! It couldn't have been so amazing without this amazing venue and their team! With that being said, STOP LOOKING AND BOOK WITH BTCG!

I was going to wait for my photos back from my wedding to write this review, but I can't take it…read moreanymore! I got married at Modern Farm in March, and it was an incredible experience. If you're considering getting married here, do it! You will not regret it. First, the venue is just beautiful. There's a big white barn with concrete floors (and air conditioning!), which is where we had our ceremony. Plenty of bathrooms, gorgeous bride and grooms quarters. The lawn is huge and green and lovely, and lined with mature trees. It was 90 degrees on my wedding day but it was perfectly comfortable on the property thanks to all the shade from the trees. Parking is limited on site, but there are side streets to park down. The DoubleTree nearby provides a free shuttle. We had 100 or so guests and didn't have any problems. We encouraged carpooling, provided parking maps with Sean's help, and told guests not to block driveways or park too close to stop signs. It's in a residential area, so be mindful of the neighbors. Ok, second, Sean was an incredible host. Having our wedding there felt like having it at a friend's house. Sean was so easy-going and opened the property to us so many times to let us scheme and meet with vendors (many of whom were recommendations from Sean and were outstanding!) On the morning of our wedding, we had a couple acrylic signs that we had made that weren't working with the easels that we brought. Sean said no problem, grabbed some wood, cut it, routed out the middle, and MADE US STANDS for the signs that were absolutely perfect. Can you believe? He's such a good guy, and it's things like that that really make you feel like you're in the right place. Thanks again, Sean and family!

So I emailed them from the "contact us" section on their website asking to view the property then received a response the next day and after a few emails back and forth we scheduled an appointment even though brief. I was told to text them a reminder. So after texting them a reminder on the day of, no response, then later I sent another text while on the way. They called me and told me they have no memory of scheduling my appointment but that they were up the street and would come meet me there. Then told me to just look around myself and call if I have questions. So my fiancé and I were just walking around the venue alone not knowing what's what. We felt like our wedding or business wasn't even important. We get they're probably busy and deal with a ton of people but just a big lack of respect. A wedding is a special time to a couple they want to feel like it's special and not a burden.

He took the time to keep me company while I sat there which not a lot of staff would do, especially with so many other things they could be tending to. I ordered the bar pretzels which were fantastic, tender warm bread and the cheese sauce was great. A little bit of a kick from the green chili. Upstairs the game show event was fantastic! So much fun. Staff did a great job of coordinating this so that everyone would feel included. Dinner came out a little too late but everyone enjoyed their entrees. The chicken platter looked especially good with the side it came with. I appreciated that we had the option of ordering off the menu. Tickets were a little pricey for something to return to often but a wonderful night out on occasion. Service all around was great.

I ordered the fried chicken bao buns, with slight reservations about getting something like this at an American food place. But they were great! The bao buns were perfectly soft and warm, and served with extra of the slaw which was really great to add in as you got to the narrower part. What a great spot! Will definitely be back.
