Fica Farm is an amazing venue, as long as you purchase their packages. Outside vendors are not treated with the appropriate respect and professionalism as expected. Last minuet requirements, last minuet contracts with many rules. When you rent this venue for a wedding to do on your own, meaning decorate, bring your own licensed and insured chef, bartender, DJ and wedding planner you'll get tables, chairs the setting once you provide them with a floor plan and timeline.
BUT get ready you need to purchase the ice machine, at a rather high price in order to be able to get ice, use the ice coolers, wine barrels etc, at the end of your event that must end and all guest have to exit by 11:00, pm YOU are responsible to REMOVE the GARBAGE so you have to hire a company or someone and pay a high price to make sure this is done, within 30 minutes. It was a 110 guest wedding.
Unfortunately they don't work well with outside vendors in a comfortable manner, the person in charge was monitoring the decoration team/wedding planner from the beginning to the end which was rather uncomfortable, the stress and pressure of her presence as well as the remarks of how to avoid extra work when doing it yourself was not kind or professional.
Honestly make sure you purchase their full packages, as they seem to prefer, so that you could fully enjoy this beautiful venue, the vendors bought on for our wedding promised that no matter how much money they could make they would never do an event there, beauty comes with comfort and joy.
My intention hopefully is a productive criticism to Fica Farms owner or staff in charge. read more
