Gilbertsville Farmhouse provided the magical, glamorous, fantasy farm wedding of my dreams and so much more! My husband and I are veterinarians so we knew we wanted a farm wedding with as many animals as possible, including our own. GF looked perfect! I compared every other venue to it and no other venue seemed to offer what they could - a weekend-long wedding, a picturesque ceremony, a glamorous barn reception, cocktail hour in a milking barn, glamping for the wedding party, AND goat yoga! What more could you want? We visited during a snowstorm and Sharon and Aldo were so enthusiastic about their farm and you can tell that they put their whole hearts into it. We stood at the ceremony alter site together, knee deep in the snow, staring at the beautiful backdrop, and we both knew that this is where we had to get married. It was the first and last venue that we visited. While planning, Sharon was very helpful and responsive by email and phone. They provided lists of vendors, accomodations, and information. On Friday before the wedding, my family, pets, and wedding party all drove to the venue. We were blessed with perfect weather and everyone was stunned by the beauty of the farm. After cuddling with some puppies and goats, we unpacked in our perfectly set up glamping tents and farmhouse rooms. Having room for forty people to stay at the farm meant we could have everyone we loved most with us for the entire weekend. More family arrived for the rehearsal dinner that evening in the rustic-chic milking parlor. Later that evening we had a bonfire set at the glamping tents and the wedding crew partied into the late night while family settled in at the farmhouse. The next morning I had my ladies up early for a misty morning goat yoga session with surprise PUPPIES! It was such a fun way to start the exciting day and to ease my nerves. The women got ready in the farmhouse which has a large communal space, while the groomsmen got ready at the glamping tents. Our first look in the wooded area felt so intimate and personal. The ceremony was so breathtaking walking up the hill to the site. Everyone comfortably fit in the church pews and the whole set up was a truly a dream. Cocktail hour was in the milking parlor which was decorated perfectly with so many extra touches that I didn't need to add anything! After cocktail hour, we welcomed our guests into the main barn with a receiving line. The evening flowed flawlessly from there. The barn was glamorous and well decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, a large bar, wide open doors with flowing drapery, and a beautifully decorated fireplace. I added a lot of florals, but even with minimal décor and flowers, it would be spectacular. As day turned to night the dancing started, another bonfire was lit on the patio, and we had a fabulous sparkler exit. The after party was held in the smaller room off of the milking parlor with a rustic-chic nightclub vibe. It was the perfect end to the evening, I couldn't feel my feet from all the dancing, and my heart was so full! Everyone had such a great time and I wish I could do it all over again. I still get so many compliments from guests about how amazing, beautiful, and fun the venue was, how kind and hardworking the employees were, and what a lovely time they had. I also still get so many comments on my gorgeous wedding photos and video with people asking me where my venue is. Well, I'll tell you where it is. It's Gilbertsville Farmhouse and IT IS A DREAM!
