Hartley Farms was the perfect wedding venue for us! From the beginning, the team was very quick to respond to our questions and incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process. They offered so many great ideas and were so helpful with all the details, which really made our wedding day run smoothly. We loved how Barbara and her husband had all the little things covered, from creative decor suggestions to making sure our guests were well taken care of. People are still raving about how amazing our wedding was, and we couldn't agree more - Hartley Farms is a 100/100 in our book!
