Great venue for a wedding. 1/2 before the ceremony, a microburst knocks down half the tent. The staff moved the ceremony and cocktail hour indoors seamlessly! Well done! – Donna via Google Reviews

They truly went above and beyond. Just 30 days before our Michigan wedding we had to change our plans due to COVID. We contacted Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm and within two days we toured and booked. The team was helpful, understanding, and made our day absolutely perfect. I am so thankful for finding them and such last minute! – Shawnee via Wedding Wire

The food is excellent, the service is great, and the ambiance is lovely. The outdoor seating is also wonderful in the summertime – the only downside being that in some conditions you can hear the traffic from the nearby highway. – Hallie via Google Reviews

Attended a wedding. Outdoor ceremony was nice, although you can hear the highway close by – mildly annoying.
Otherwise, the venue was nice with a good amount of space and easy flow for people to come and go.
Dinner was a little disappointing. Had the fish, but it was undercooked. Asked for another one and it was the same. My mistake I suppose – no one can really do a nice fish with so many guests. The filet mignon looked good though. – Won Han via Google Reviews

I had my wedding at the Farmhouse this past weekend and I could not say anything could have been more perfect. They worked with us through the pandemic helped manage vendors and timing. The food was phenomenal. The patio was gorgeous. I recommend this venue to everyone. – Elissa via Google Reviews

Their venue is so beautiful and our guests all had a great time. We are still on cloud 9 and can’t recommend Jack’s enough!! – Rachel Howlin via Google Reviews

We just had my daughter’s wedding there yesterday. It was beautiful. The food by Beanstalk catering was delicious. The staff was attentive and Demi was always available for the last weeks leading up to the event. No question was ignored. The experience was wonderful and A-rated by all the guests. – Bill Oertel via Google reviews.

June 13th we got married at Jacks Barn and it was everything I hoped for and more!!! The dream I had of my wedding day came to reality. Everything was beyond perfect. The food was from Bean Stock Catering and everyone loved it. All our guests had a smile on their faces. Demi and Darren were both amazing to work with!!! Demi was with us every step of the way.

We got married at Fernbrook in September 2021. Our ceremony was in the Sundial Garden, cocktail hour at the Summer House, and reception under the (amazing!) (clear top!) tent. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food is delicious and locally sourced (farm to table). We are still getting compliments from our guests saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Our entire day flowed so smoothly, thanks to Teri and Rob being on top of everything. They made this DIY bride’s life so much easier in so many ways. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. This is a venue where you can make your dream wedding vision come to life! – Nichole L. via WeddingWire.

There are not enough words to express how incredible the Inn at Fernbrook Farms was for our big day. From the start they made us feel loved and supported through the entire planning process. Teri, Rob, and Kristin helped us through each decision and kept me calm and grounded. They helped our vision for the day come to life. The venue was stunning and the vibe of every moment of our day was light, calm, and full of pure magic. I cannot recommend Fernbrook and their dedicated, loving team enough. They made all my dreams came true! – Taylor O. via WeddingWire.

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. The entire staff (Teri, Bonnie, Rob- really everyone!) ensured we were comfortable and made the day run smoothly. Every single guest raved about the beauty of the farm and the food. My goodness, dinner was delicious! The overnight stay was just the cherry on top. If you are considering Fernbrook, just do it, you won’t regret it. – S. Bass  via Wedding Wire

We got married in late June and it was pretty hot that day. I was concerned that the Conservatory wasn’t air-conditioned but the fans they have going and the trees that shade the building kept it quite comfortable! We did get a little sweaty in the Meeting Hall during the reception although it is air-conditioned. – Stella via Google Reviews

The grounds are well kept and there is a working farm which they use for all the event food. There are animals (sheep and chickens I believe). All of the buildings on the grounds have been restored and hold tons of history and stories. Such an amazing place we cannot wait to have our wedding! – Lauren M via Tripadvisor

The buildings and grounds are absolutely beautiful! The catering employees were very attentive and polite. The food, which was brunch food since the wedding was early in the day, was ok. I don’t eat meat, so there wasn’t much for me to eat. What I did eat was hit or miss. Alison Chaplin via Google Reviews

I attended a wedding here recently… The venue was absolutely gorgeous… the grounds are kept nice and tidy and are very scenic. The staff was friendly and courteous. Everything was spotless, all the bathrooms were kept tidy. This would be a five-star review if the food game was stepped up a bit. – John via Google Reviews

We went to a wedding here. The ceremony grounds are beautiful. They have the best cocktail hour with stations from all over the world. The main dinner was just OK. The banquet hall is beautiful. The acoustics are awful.
Stephen T. via Yelp

It’s ok. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service was great. Food was pretty good but parking was not an easy thing for us. – Joann via Google Reviews

From the set up & breakdown to following the bride and groom around with plates of food to make sure we were well fed, the team knows exactly what to do. They were able to get me a new cake in 3 hours and I never knew it was missing, they found our vow notes when we left them in the bridal suite and everything was flawless due to their professionalism. – Sarah L. via Wedding Wire

Love the multipurpose event room. Attended a wedding in the late afternoon then came back post-wedding to drink. It’s so nice and spacious. Wish the backyard was open behind the glass. – Shemeeka via Google Reviews

This venue has to be experienced to be appreciated! It is so beautiful. Many different areas to hold different parts of your event. And the food!…. From every appetizer to the many mini desserts and the meticulously prepared entrees. – Steve Domzalski via Google Reviews

The ceremony was held in this barn like structure they have beside their main building. You never felt cold with all the heaters and in addition, they provided blankets in case you wanted. There was also hot chocolate served outside the barn after the ceremony. –
