What couples highlight
“Beautiful wedding venue, one of my closest friends got married here and I highly recommend this place.”
“The ceremony was right on the water, cocktail hour also boasted waterfront views, and then moving into the barn for the dinner/reception was a perfect way to end the celebration.”
From the reviews
Attended a wedding here. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Almost as beautiful as the bride. The only thing was the grounds are not the most disabled friendly. Lots of gravel walk ways.
One of my favorite places on Earth! In search of a waterfront inn for our wedding seven years ago, we came across Woodlawn Farm on a bed and breakfast website. We called Jim Grube, the owner and wedding coordinator, to schedule a meeting and the rest is history.
Visited for a friend's wedding. They have a beautiful view of the water where their ceremony took place. There is a big converted barn where the reception was held that was very well kept and modern. The wedding had games set up outside for guests to play.
Went for a longtime friends wedding and had a lot of fun. The scenery was immaculate, right on the water. The historic brick houses provided an authentic atmosphere which made the experience one to remember forever.
Getting married at Woodlawn Farm & Estate
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
