Gorgeous venue!

We wanted to get married within six months and had to make a lot of decisions quickly. We toured other similar venues but Almquist Farm stood out. The landscape was just breathtaking and there was flexibility since they have a beautiful reception hall where weddings can take place indoors year round. Paul and Kari were friendly, informative, and responsive. The granary is a separate building where were were able to get ready with plenty of space and was decorated in a welcoming way. The rolling hills of the landscape made our photos beautiful even in the late fall. The reception hall has tons of windows with lots of natural light and a stunning fireplace where we exchanged our vows. Our guests enjoyed the venue including the goats and kittens that were fenced just outside of the venue. Absolutely wonderful venue that I highly recommend!
