A beautiful venue with the most kind owners

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 :)

Gorgeous location, amazing hosts!!

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!

The perfect venue with amazing hosts!

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 Jared 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!

The perfect venue

We had an intimate 40 guest wedding here. The venue is perfect. Every little detail is beautiful. The owners are relaxed, helpful, quick to respond to emails and made the whole process easy. 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!

🌿 Meet the Hearts Behind The Farmstead: Francine & Jarred 💑

We're Jarred and Francine, the proud owners of The Farmstead, and we're so excited to kick off our ✨third wedding season✨with all of you!


OUR STORY:🏡 Our journey with this beautiful adventure started back in 2017 when we took ownership of our dream property. For the initial five years, the idea of a wedding venue lingered in our minds as mere whispers, accompanied by the challenges of bringing the property and buildings up to the necessary standards. It demanded overcoming various necessary and important requirements such as re-zoning and building codes and permits (which as inexperienced we were with that, it was an unfamiliar and, at times, challenging experience.) Yet, with determination and passion, and the help from an architectural designer, we succeeded and opened our doors in 2022 welcoming our first full season of weddings!


🌟 Over the past two seasons, we've been privileged to host 30 incredible weddings on our property. Each celebration has taught us something new, helping us refine and enhance The Farmstead experience. We believe in the magic of love, and our aim is to make your wedding day as enchanting and stress-free as possible.


🎓 After our 2022 season, Francine completed the Wedding Planner and Coordinator course through the Wedding Planning Institute of Canada, adding an extra layer of expertise to ensure your special day goes off without a hitch.


💕 So here's to ✨Spectacular Views✨Elevated Experiences✨Amazing Memories✨


We and our growing team can't wait to share this upcoming season with you and continue writing The Farmstead's story together.

Cheers to love, laughter, and forever memories! 🥂
