My husband and I attended a wedding at Howland Farm. What a charming, memorable place to celebrate a special occasion! The grounds are lovely and well kept. This place doesn't have the cutesy or pretentious look of some wedding venues we've seen. The large "barn" must have just been renovated from being a real barn to being a place for parties and the guest facilities there are modern and very clean.
The outdoor ceremony we attended was in a scenic part of the property, then we easily walked to the barn for cocktails and appetizers. The wedding dinner was served in a huge rented tent right next to the barn. Our bride and groom had decorated with lovely bouquets of local flowers, twinkling lights, early photos of the couple and rustic, painted signs of congratulations for them. After dinner we moved back to the barn for the cake cutting and then music and dancing. There was even a place for a bonfire with rustic seating not far from the barn. The hardier guests stayed for s'mores, conversation and more music, while my husband and headed to the parking, which is conveniently close. This convenient venue and it's likable hosts are great! read more
