Nicole & the entire team at Sawyer Family Farmstead are absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Nicole & the entire team at Sawyer Family Farmstead are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I seriously can not recommend them highly enough. I planned my wedding from across the country (which I assumed would be really stressful) and Nicole made it a piece of cake. We had regularly scheduled calls throughout the entire process, and she was always able to answer my questions right away which put me at ease. We ended up loving every local vendor that she recommended we use, and she was always professional and efficient when working with them. Nicole took the time to meet with us for multiple site walks whenever we were in town visiting, and always listened to any feedback I had. The day of the wedding could not have gone more perfect and that was all thanks to Nicole's planning skills! All of the staff at Sawyer Family Farmstead are so accommodating and friendly & it was such a wonderful experience working with them!!

Most Beautiful Venue

Chimney Pond Farms was the most amazing venue for our June wedding. It is absolutely beautiful and we were told by our guests that it was hands down the prettiest venue they have been to. Raquel- our coordinator was beyond amazing. She was so helpful through everything and very organized. Our day was perfect and went so smoothly because of Raquel. Please please book this venue!! You will not regret it.

I can not express how wonderful this location is

This location was absolutely amazing and a gift to find. The views were stunning and I can’t wait to get our photos back to see it all again. We also stayed on the property which made it so nice to have the whole wedding party just relax there and not rush to get there for the ceremony. Nicole worked with us every step of the way. I never knew if any issues arose on the day. She was a gem! She provided us some options for vendors that we weren’t required to use. Every vendor we picked from her list were amazing. All our guests were raving about the food, photographers, cake, most of all the view and the location itself. I’m pretty sure my cousin announced if she was getting married she was coming here bc it was so fun.

I can’t speak highly enough about Sawyer Family Farm and Nicole. They made our wedding beyond anything I could ever imagine. You won’t go wrong if you pick this place
