“Our daughter was married at North Star Farm. We had another daughter married the year earlier at another venue and our experience with North Star Farm saved on the stress. North Star had met with us, our daughter and her fiancé the week before. We covered what the day would look like and went over every detail. Rebecca and Scott know their stuff and we felt good that things would be covered. We got to see where to drop things off that morning and were relieved that the Day of Coordination services did all the tear down and packing. The venue did all the cleaning. I actually felt like I could enjoy saying goodbye to guests not worrying about if things were be taken down and packed up. When our other daughter got married at another venue, we spent so much of the evening and after the wedding packing and cleaning. Thank goodness we did not have to do that at North Star. My daughter utilized some of North Star's decorations. We did bring a few things, but it was a breeze to round up our things. We also saved money on the bar as we could bring in our own pop, water, seltzers, and wine to be served. There are no minimums on food or liquor making things easier and fitted for us as our group was smaller. I actually enjoyed the entire day and things went so smooth. I did ask if there was anything I could do and Rebecca said no, we have it covered. Rebecca and Scott were great to work with. This was a great experience overall. We have recommended North Star to other friends and family. We hope to return again for another wedding here.”
