    We used the General Potter Farm for our wedding May 4th, 2024 and it was amazing! They have a ton of outdoor ceremony options, but it rained on our wedding day but we were in luck as the GPF has an indoor option. They also have a large getting ready space for the bride and bridal party. I also recommend staying in the farmhouse (though it is an additional cost). It made things so much easier for us being on the property (also - rent the golfcart)! Keep in mind- they do not have tables or chairs so you will need to rent them elsewhere. We did not understand this when we first booked and got hit with a large rental fee a few months prior to the wedding. Yikes! Binky and Deb are so helpful and amazing to work with and are very easy going. I definitely recommend the GPF!
