“The Farmstead surpassed our highest hopes for our wedding day. Francine and Jarred, our wonderful hosts, made the entire planning process an absolute pleasure. The property is breathtaking and maintained to perfection. Francine's quick and thorough responses were a delightful surprise and so appreciated. Our wedding day was seamless thanks to them, and we couldn't be more grateful. If we could relive this magical experience, we would in a heartbeat. The Farmstead is truly a dream venue! We couldn't have wished for anything more. Thank you!!”

“Having our wedding at the Farmstead was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous and the owners Francine and Jarred were so helpful. From the planning process Francine was so quick to respond to emails and was more than happy to accommodate requests. During setup, rehearsal, the day of the wedding and clean up Francine and Jarred were always a helping hand and they would always check in on us to ensure everything was running smoothly.”

“Getting married at the Farmstead was absolutely perfect, from the excellent service to the picture perfect views! The property is gorgeous and everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more! The owners Jarred and Francine were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire planning process, right up until the day after the wedding. Francine was always so quick to respond to emails and super helpful with the many questions we had. She also sent a list of some fantastic vendors in the area, which was extremely helpful! Rehearsal and set up went super smooth, thanks to Jarred and Francine, and coming back the following day to have everything packed up for us already was a huge bonus! These two, as well as their amazing bartenders were extremely friendly and attentive throughout the entire evening as well! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, thanks so much to The Farmstead!!🤍”

“My husband and I got married at the Farmstead in July 2024. To say, this venue is beautiful, is an understatement. The grounds are meticulously maintained, all of the gardens have beautiful flowers that make this venue stand out. There are many areas around the venue that provide a space for all your guests whether they choose to watch everyone dancing on the dance floor from Adirondack chairs at the fire or are over sitting by the sandbox. There are little corners with picture, perfect backgrounds for any kind of photo you can think of.

Working with Jarred and Francine to make our vision come to life was one of the easiest parts of the planning process. They insured that every idea we dreamt was put into place and even better than we could’ve imagined. Jarred and Francine go above and beyond. Every little detail has been thought of, and is incorporated to make sure that you have a perfect day. The set up and cleanup process was one of the easiest I have ever seen in all of the weddings I have been to, as Jarred and Francine take on a big load of this for you. We loved this, particularly as it took a large burden off of us and our family.

If you are looking for the perfect venue to get married in the area, I cannot suggest The Farmstead enough. We loved our wedding day here and hope we get the chance to come back for more weddings, one day.”

“We got married at The Farmstead in July, and it was the most perfect outdoor venue. The grounds are stunning and immaculately maintained. They have so many beautiful little corners for taking photos and spending time, it was so hard to choose!

Jarred and Francine were also amazing to work with. They were so accommodating from the moment I contacted them. They let us come for a few different site visits in the planning process and our questions were answered. They helped with everything preparing for the wedding and on the actual day, and made everything go so smoothly. It rained a little during our outside ceremony and they were prepared for that, handing out umbrellas and cleaning off seats. All their help made such a difference!

We would highly recommend The Farmstead, we had the most perfect day there!”

-Paige Mask

“I highly recommend the Farmstead. This was the most perfect venue for our wedding. Not only were the grounds absolutely stunning, but Francine and Jarred were the best hosts. Highly responsive and easy to get in touch with throughout the entire planning process, Francine and Jarred were consistently solution-oriented and did everything they could to make our day a dream come true. Even when plan A got derailed by the weather, Francine and Jarred worked with us to pull together a wonderful plan B at the very last minute. Finally, I was very impressed with Francine and Jarred's dedication to constantly improving their beautiful property, and their attention to the smallest details.”

-Kayla Quintal

“If I could give 10 stars I would! 🤩
The Farmstead was the most magical wedding venue we could have asked for. We had our wedding late September and everything went off without a single complication. Francine and Jarred are the most wonderful people to work with and have the most beautiful property that they maintain themselves (which is no easy feat!) Throughout the entire planning process, Francine was available to answer our questions, address concerns and even facilitated venue walk throughs to ensure our vision came to life. On our wedding day, The Farmstead Team went above and beyond our expectations to ensure everything was set up and coordinated without us having to worry and that all of the little details were taken care of. If you are looking to get married in the most beautiful, calming outdoor environment, this is your dream venue!”

“I got married here on 09.09.23 and I honestly don’t know where to begin with Francine and Jarred. These are two of the most thoughtful and caring people I have ever met. From multiple venue visits, to rehearsal, to answering my countless emails in seconds, to running around on my big day, they were around and supportive throughout every moment. They seriously go above and beyond!!

Francine and Jarred are so calming to be around and I know my day couldn’t have gone better thanks to them. They have maintained their property with such attention to detail and there is not a single waste of space. Every single guest of my 100+ wedding had such nice things to say - especially about the fancy bathrooms and how kind the hosts were! I also have to mention the beautiful keepsake reel they post! It was seriously such a joy to be able to relive my day again through another lense and it’s such a wonderful memory to have. This place will honestly exceed all your expectations without a doubt. I can’t recommend it enough!”

“What an amazing venue. Our daughter had her wedding day at the Farmstead and everything was perfect. Francine and Jarred went out of their way to make sure every little detail our daughter dreamed of was taken care of. This little gem is the perfect place and Francine and Jarred are the perfect couple to host a dream wedding.”

-Craig Plowman

“THE BEST VENUE! I cannot say enough good things about Francine and Jarred's amazing venue as well as their professionalism and attention to every detail at our wedding.

The venue is stunning and extremely well kept, they work tirelessly to keep it perfect for the entire day as well as being very quick to respond to questions during the planning process. They are both extremely kind and friendly people that have great, calming energy to be around.

They helped with everything from organizing to music for the ceremony and even put together a super sweet video of our day which made me cry with happiness the next day on just how perfect our day was.

If you are looking for a wedding venue, just stop looking and book the Farmstead, I promise you will be so glad you did!”

-Codie O’Grady

“Just WOW. My husband and I were blown away by Jarred and Francine's professionalism, attention to detail, and hospitality. We got married at the Farmstead in July 2023, and there are so many examples I could share about how these venue owners went above and beyond. From planning every aspect leading up to the wedding day (seating arrangement, ceremony location, music, vendor recommendations, etc.) to being extremely flexible the day of (helping us move quickly and seamlessly to a backup plan when it rained) - we were so impressed. They helped ensure the day was about bringing the bride and groom's vision to life, and not about doing what was 'easiest' or 'most convenient'. I believe this is what truly sets The Farmstead apart from all other competition in the area. Thank you both for an unforgettable experience!”

-Rebecca Vandersleen

Our wedding wouldn’t have turned out so perfect if it wasn’t for this venue and Francine & Jarred!

They made the entire experience SO easy and stress free - from planning and the moment we got there to set up and Sunday when we picked up our decor. They are the most welcoming and helpful couple. Every guest was in love with the venue and experience. Every corner of their home and property is picture perfect, we highly recommend this venue to everyone! We hope to return as guests one day for another!”

-Ashley Roesner

“Without a doubt, Farmstead Weddings & Events was the most exceptional wedding experience of my life.
There are two things that stand out at this venue.
1. The space is stunning. I don't typically enjoy taking pictures with my partner but it was hard not to appreciate the wild variety of scenic backgrounds for guests to take photos. Classic wood fences, rustic barnwood buildings, perfectly manicured lawns, tall lush fields, stones walls.. You name it. There is no where on this property that doesn't create a setting for the perfect memory.
2. Francine & Jarred. I can't say enough nice things about these two. Francine & Jarred are precise, experienced and enthusiastic when it comes to events on their property. They were wildly helpful leading up to and throughout the whole event. Their attention and care for the event guests is unmatched.
They're not just helpful and accomodating, they are so kind. The kind of folks you want to have a beer with.
The wedding I attended at Farmstead will forever be seared into the highlight reel of my life.
Thank you so much for having us!”

-Neil Hickey

“Francine & Jarred are consummate professionals with an incredible eye for detail. One look at this venue and you can be sure you are in good hands. We cannot say enough about The Farmstead; this will be (or already is) Pembroke’s premier event space, no question! Thanks for everything 😘”

-Andrew Postlethwaite

“We got married here in October 2022 and words cannot even describe how amazing this venue is or the owners/operators of the venue. The venue was gorgeous! It was everything and so much more then we expected. There are tons of different options for ceremony places as well as many options for setting up the dinner/dancing area. This place has so many inclusions as well. The owners were so responsive and helped with every little detail and request. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking. We could not have been more happy with our choice.”

-Aspen McLeod

“My husband and I were married here Oct 1, 2022 and had a wedding with approximately 80 guests, and thanks to Francine and Jarred had the most wonderful wedding day we could have imagined! When choosing a venue for our wedding, their property had everything we wanted and was kept so beautifully, but what makes this venue what I believe is the best in Pembroke, is the heart that Francine and Jarred put into making each wedding special. Every question and special request was not only managed with patience and kindness, but so quickly that all of the extra anxiety and helped with set up and pull down, managed to keep things organized throughout our hectic evening, and made us feel like family. They truly go over and above and if we could do the entire thing all over again just to work with them, we would! Thank you, Francine and Jarred, for being so caring and providing Pembroke with such a beautiful wedding destination!”

- Meaghan White

“I have decorated at a lot of venues over the years. This year was my first time here. The young couple and their beautiful family that own it have done everything right! It shows everywhere that they have put their heart and soul into their business. And to make it better they were a pleasure to deal with! For sure contender if you want a beautiful natural setting!”

-Tracey, Florist

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this venue! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My husband and I got married there on October 29th, 2022 and had the most amazing day! Francine and Jarred were so calm, helpful, and communicative throughout the entire process of planning our wedding and the weekend of. Very responsive and will be there to answer any questions you might have.

They were there to help us set up all our decor, coordinated our music for walking down the aisle, helped tremendously throughout the evening and were so helpful during clean up the next morning. The entire venue was clean and well kept. If you are looking for a venue in Pembroke, definitely reach out to The Farmstead! Amazing experience!”

“Wow! I can't say enough about Francine and Jarred, owner/operators of The Farmstead! The property is beautiful! The buildings are full of charm! It was the perfect place for my son's wedding. Francine and Jarred, I can't say enough to explain how wonderful they are. They are not just business owners. They become part of your crew! The helped with setup and tear down. Accommodated everything we asked for and had all the last minutes detail items we forgot! They became part of the family for the weekend! They were actively helping throughout the entire event! Ceremony to closing. This is the most perfect place, with absolutely the BEST hosts, for your wedding or special occasion. I can't thank this dynamic duo enough!

“I don’t even know where to start. If we could do our wedding all over again yesterday at the Farmstead we wouldn’t give it a second thought. Francine and Jared are phenomenal. They are so kind. They were helpful since Day 1, however they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only did they help us with any questions or concerns we had along the way, but they were a huge part of making sure that we had the most amazing day and that’s exactly what yesterday was. Thank you doesn’t feel like enough but we will say it over and over! THANK YOU!”

“We just recently had our wedding here and couldn’t ask for a better venue! The property is beautiful along with the barns and their beautiful harvest tables and chairs and everything else provided.

We can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us to make our day so special!”

They are amazing people and I highly recommend them and their venue. All of our guests loved the scenery and the kids loved running around free!”

-Francesca Rosebush

“My husband and I got married at The Farmstead Weddings and Events which was the most beautiful place we could have hoped for. The property is lovely and it is well equipped to make planning your wedding super easy.

The owners, Jarred and Francine, are the most helpful people that really go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect for your special day. One of our family members had arrived early and spent part of Friday at the venue painting a picture of the property as a wedding gift for us and Francine and Jarred were very welcoming, offering her something to drink and making sure she was okay while spending the day there.

For what one couple's opinion is worth, we think this was the most wonderful place that anyone could get married. We have so many good memories from our time there and our friends and family couldn't stop complimenting what a good choice this location was.

Thank you Jarred and Francine :).”

“We attended the wedding of our son and daughter-in-law at this beautiful venue. The grounds are immaculate with plenty of locations for beautiful picture, such as the stone house, barn, fields and beautiful flower gardens. The local caterer's were amazing and provided a delicious meal. Another local was the DJ, who provide wonderful dancing music throughout the evening. It was truly a magical day/evening. Jared and Francine Durocher were the perfect host. I would recommend this venue for your special day.”

-Mary Chamberlain

“The Farmstead provided us with the most beautiful, serene, romantic location for our wedding day. To be able to have our ceremony, pictures, and reception all in one location was so convenient, let alone how gorgeous the backdrop for every part of the day was. Francine and Jarred are both so helpful, accommodating and flexible. The whole weekend ran smoothly from setup to take down. They put so much work into having the grounds and the barn absolutely pristine, and they made sure our vendors had everything they needed. There were also so many unique and beautiful areas around the property for us to get pictures taken - our photographer was in love! Even the kids were entertained, exploring and playing around the vast grounds, and visiting the chickens. We highly recommend taking a visit to The Farmstead if you are looking for a venue for your dream wedding or any event!”
