Black Walnut Farm

ght. The whole team at Black Walnut was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the planning process. We used Events Unlimited for rentals super close by for a tented dinner set up. Getting ready in the sunroom of the house, with gorgeous landscapes for family photos, ceremony in the woods, cocktails on the lawn, tented dinner, dancing in the barn under the 4 ft disco ball, ending with a massive bonfire … it was such an incredible experience !!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you to Black Walnut!! 

t married. From the start, Sara, Jim, and their team cared for us with such warmth and attention. Their online planning portal made everything simple, but what we loved most was how personally they got to know us. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt truly meaningful. Throughout the weekend, every detail was handled with so much thought. Our guests felt welcomed, we felt supported, and even when the weather forced last-minute changes, the team stayed calm and kept everything running beautifully. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. Black Walnut Farm isn’t just a stunning venue, it’s a place filled with people who genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. We couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

outdoor spaces, and variety for guests to explore during our event. When touring venues, we were nervous about finding a place that would be able to accommodate and achieve our desire to have a wedding blending western and Indian elements. We were so lucky to have found Black Walnut, and the entire team made sure we could have our dream wedding. The flexibility to bring in outside caterers combined with the simplicity of having built-in bar services and flower arranging allowed us to have the wedding we wanted with the least amount of vendor-hunting. We highly recommend the pick your own flowers option, was such a unique and unexpectedly fun activity the day before our wedding. We also could not have had our special day without the help of the planning services of Lindsey and all the behind the scenes work that the farm does to prepare. We highly recommend Lindsey as an exceptional planner, we simply could not have had a wedding without her. The ability to stay at the farm for the whole weekend in the wonderful historic house was such an unforgettable experience, and something we couldn’t get anywhere else. Despite the stress of a wedding weekend, staying at the farmhouse felt like a mini-vacation. The provided wine, snacks, and other treats went to very good use. We got never-ending compliments from our guests about the venue, with so many sharing how magical it felt and that they felt like they were in a fairytale. We truly could not have asked for a better experience at Black Walnut and will forever recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue.

kend surrounded by our favorite people, celebrating a love I had hoped for my entire life. Black Walnut Farm made that dream a reality in the most magical way. My fiancé and I got engaged in June 2024 and waited until August to begin planning so we could savor being engaged. Black Walnut Farm was our first venue visit. During their open house, we explored the property while enjoying signature cocktails and bites, and we immediately felt at home meeting Jim. His warmth, charisma, and genuine spirit set the tone for everything that followed. The estate is breathtaking—acres of beauty, an enchanting forest, whimsical gardens, and a farmhouse filled with stunning, eclectic antiques. Within minutes, we knew our search was over. As we left, Jim smiled, saying he could tell we had found “the one.” The planning process was seamless and stress-free. As someone who goes with the flow, I was amazed by how organized and supportive the team was. Timelines, documents, and communication were clear and thoughtful. Sarah, co-owner and Jim’s partner, made the experience effortless. While the venue is largely a la carte, Sarah provides a curated list of trusted vendors so you never feel lost. Together, Sarah and Jim are an unmatched team. We chose the weekend package, allowing us and six guests to stay in the farmhouse from Thursday through Monday. Walking in felt like stepping into a dream. We were greeted with a handwritten card, a charcuterie board, and champagne. Fresh banana bread, muffins, and cookies were displayed, the refrigerator stocked with snacks, drinks, and s’mores essentials, and a bar cart held homemade old fashioneds. Every room included robes and fresh water by the bedside, and fireplaces were ready with stacked firewood. Our honeymoon suite was spacious and cozy, with its own fireplace, sitting area, and clawfoot tub. Black Walnut Farm even created a custom flag with our names and named a tree in our honor—a meaningful and unforgettable touch. On Friday evening, we hosted our rehearsal dinner for fifty-five guests in the barn, which perfectly blends rustic elegance with antique details and warmth. The staff’s pride and attention to detail were evident, and Jim, Sarah, or Lindsey were always nearby to ensure everything ran smoothly. After dinner, my bridesmaids and I returned to the farmhouse for a cozy night by the fire watching Father of the Bride. Our wedding day was pure magic. We got ready together in a sun-filled room, sharing laughter and happy tears. We exchanged vows in the forest, a fairytale setting. The celebration continued in the barn with cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, and dessert. Guests loved the barn loft, complete with a photo booth and a phone for leaving messages. Although the weather prevented our planned bonfire hour, Sarah and Jim graciously extended our time in the barn, ensuring the night remained just as special. This weekend was the best experience of our lives. Our friends and family still talk about how incredible it was. We are endlessly grateful to Sarah, Jim, Miss Lily, and the entire Black Walnut Farm team for creating a wedding weekend we will cherish forever.
