    Absolutely perfect

    New Beginnings was the absolute perfect wedding venue. From start to finish, our experience was so positive and we're so grateful for John and Sheri, and everything they did for us! It was the best weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    We found the perfect place!

    Since we were looking for a laid-back, casual venue for our outdoor celebration, many did not fit the criteria. We fell in love with this location and the owners made us feel welcome and that they would make our special day perfect!

    There are not enough great words to say about this place. It is absolutely beautiful, our wedding was perfect! From the history of the house, property layout, and their beautiful animals we couldn't of asked for anything more. It's so relaxing and full of love. The owners Sheri and John are absolutely amazing! Sheri was always there if you needed her and worked with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. She is the absolute sweetest person I have ever met. Our experience was wonderful! You will definitely love your wedding if you have it at New Beginnings Historic Farm.

    New Beginnings exceeded our expectations. We chose the location due to its beauty, location, and historic context. The natural feel, caring owners, and beautiful mountain setting made it the perfect memory.

    Sheri and John were amazing to us and our family! We had such a blast at their farm and would not have changed a thing. Sheri always got right back to me and was super helpful. They always made time for us and accommodated our requests.

    Sheri and John at New Beginnings Historic Farm were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a more accommodating, flexible, unique venue! My fiancé and I found them with just two and a half months until our wedding, and they were more than willing to work with us in terms of scheduling, payment plans, etc. The farm is beautiful, and creates the perfect setting for an outdoor, rustic-themed wedding. Their covered pavilion made for a perfect reception area, with a large dance floor and accommodations for a DJ/sound system, and a screen projector. I could not thank Sheri and John enough for all of their hard work in preparing for our big day! They are truly great people and I'm so glad we found them! I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for an outdoor ceremony and reception, laid-back, rustic feel, and family atmosphere! The only suggestion I would have for prospective brides is to keep in mind the weather. We had not expected such high temperatures in June, and it was a scorching 95 degrees and sunny on the day of our wedding. The Venue, however, did a great job of making sure our guests were as comfortable as possible, and ensured an absolutely beautiful wedding!

    I spoke to Sheri at a wedding fair a few months ago and she and her husband were incredibly accommodating. So kind and interested in the details of my wedding. They seemed like they really cared about my husband and I's plans and were willing to work with us on every detail. I was able to go see the venue and it's absolutely beautiful for a rustic wedding. Would definitely recommend working with this wonderful couple!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about New Beginnings and their staff! They worked with us to ensure our wedding day was perfect (and it was!). The property is gorgeous and the staff is incredible. You have to check it out! We had both our ceremony and reception at the farm (with approximately 160 guests). There are multiple sites for the ceremony on the property. Due to bad weather, we ultimately- and last minute- chose to hold our entire event under the pavilion (yes, they have a covered pavilion so you don't have to rent a tent, a HUGE plus!). They also have a built in bar (again, so you don't have to rent one) which we were so excited to use, but due to weather we decided to set up a few tables under the pavilion for our bar. Even with down pour for days before and on our wedding day, our wedding was PERFECT. The staff is dedicated to helping make your day special, I wouldn't change one single thing about it, and I credit New Beginnings for a big portion of that!

    New Beginnings was the perfect place for our wedding! We had the option of having our wedding indoors or out. Both options provided the beauty and the space we needed for guests. We chose outdoor which turned out beautiful! I was very pleased with the bridal suite. It was relaxing and gave me and my bridesmaids enough room to get ready for the wedding. The farm has amazing scenery which was great for pictures! Sheri and John are wonderful to work with. Thanks to New Beginnings Historic Farm our wedding was everything we had dreamed!

    So fantastic

    Our day at New Beginnings was the best day ever! Sheri worked with us to make sure that our day was exactly what I wanted. There was room for all of our family and friends to enjoy our special day! I am so glad we chose New Beginnings!

    The most wonderful family & venue!

    NB Historic Farm was an absolute dream come true!!! We fell in love with this venue in 2019 and knew it was the one as soon as we pulled up. The homey feel, welcoming vibes and the historic charm drew us in, but what really made this venue so special was how amazing they handled the pandemic. They worked so well with us on postponing our date (even if it was a whole year). When we finally got to have our big day this past April Sheri, her husband, and Dina made it the most special day of our lives!!! We seriously can't thank them enough for everything they did!

    Another wonderful thing about this venue was all the beautiful decorations that they have available to use. It made the day so much easier as far as set up / break down!

    This is the best out door mountain venue around!!! 🥰🙌

    Sheri and her husband are fantastic! They are willing to help with anything you need and are always professional and responsive to your needs. Our wedding was beautiful, personalized, and perfect; I was able to enjoy my special day without stressing out about anything! I do, however, suggest that you find your own officiant rather than having them officiate for you. I wrote my own ceremony, and on the day of my wedding it seemed clear that he did not read it until he was on stage with us, and there were many mistakes as a result ( I didn't even get to say "I do" because he forgot to ask me). With that said, I would still highly recommend them for your wedding, thats how great everything else was; I didn't even care!

    My daughter was married Saturday at New Beginnings Historic Farm. I know several people that are engaged and looking for a venue. Please share this even if you're not looking for a venue. I know word of mouth is the best way to get information, and here is our story. The reviews they have on their website are all positive, this is bc their website somehow doesn't allow you to leave a bad review. My daughter and son-in-law paid $3200.00, which was one of the highest packages offered, thinking they would have a stress free day. Everyone we talked to feels they were ripped off. They claim to have had a staff of 9 on duty for the wedding; however the staff consisted of mostly teenagers. Apparently, these teenagers felt compelled to take things from the kids table that we had set up for the children attending the wedding. They also continuously put their hands in our h'our-derve trays every time they walked past them. The smart/rude mouths of these teens telling our guests to move their things because they were trying to clean. Cleaning should be done before and after the wedding. We were not quite sure why they would be needing to clean in the middle of the reception. Granted, the bar area in which the h'our derve trays were sitting on wasn't the cleanest, considering they had left an antique cash register sitting in the middle of where our food was suppose to be placed. The package purchased specifically states that we would have the use of the downstairs along with the kitchen area for prepping. However, when asked to use the stove, we were told no since we were not licensed caters. Then is was changed that we could use the oven but not the stove top. This restriction was not stated in the contract. Some guests were told they couldn't be in the front room downstairs, they needed to go back in the bridal room. This front room is part of the downstairs as well as where the restroom is. The soap dispenser did not work in the bathroom. The bridal room was not ideal

    New Beginnings Historic Farm's reply:

    Thank you for reading through this review. I hope that you have taken the time to read through the other great reviews on our listing. It was unfortunate that the client felt this way after we went above and beyond to accommodate their unfortunate financial situation. We strive to ensure that every couple's wedding day is special and I look forward to you giving us the chance to do the same for you!
