Reviews for The Farmhouse in Hampton, NJ
This is a great venue location. Nice decor, spacious rooms/halls.
Just exquisite. Came for a wedding and everything was perfect.! Beautiful setting, great service and good food!
My daughter‘s wedding was held there in September,150 guests. Beautiful place , fantastic drinks and food. Kudos to the chefs... and bartenders! The cocktail hour was fantastic., bar excellent, Main event… POOR. A half hour prior to cocktail hour, thetoilet system septic‘s backed up and flooded the bathrooms! A FIASCO. The staff was totally unprepared for such amishap. Guests had to use the restrooms on the restaurant side of the building. Walking through the parking lot even in thedark. Main bathrooms were out of service for 4 hours. A few people were directed to the bridal suite bathroom, which wasprivate. Guests were coming to US, asking for bathrooms and questioning the service. Many guests complained that food wastaken way too quickly! Although the food was excellent! They did not have time to enjoy the dinner, dishes were taken awayquickly while people were dancing and or walking 10 minutes across the parking lot to the restaurant side of the building to usethe restrooms ! They should've asked guests if they are finished prior to taking away the plates! It was rushed and ratherdisorganized. Champagne was taken away in full glasses prior to the toast. No butter was served at most tables. No WATER wasserved, empty water glasses at most tables. Icing on the cake? They MISPLACED a full sheet cake. It was not served ! we weretold they could not find it or perhaps it was not delivered. It WAS delivered, they served a tiny sliver of cake. Theiradditional desserts were delicious. The cake was found in a walk in refrigerator! 4 DAYS later! Furthermore , they serveddesserts with no coffee or tea offered; when asked for a coffee , some of the staff servers were irritated.? Even though therewas a wedding coordinator on site, she did NOT oversee the service as promised. Corporate was contacted with a satisfactoryoutcome. However, it does not make up for a once in a lifetime wedding celebration. The wedding moments were beautiful, as wecontinued to c Read more
Beautiful location, food was good, but the staff was horrendous. They told us that a previous staff member, who had left had... promised my sister (the bride) the “moon and stars” but that they absolutely could not do that for us. (Seriously this womansaid that to me!). Also, they started construction on the property just before the wedding date, and never told us! So thebridal suite area we were supposed to use was completely off limits and broken down. Something we didn’t find out about untilthe day before the wedding. They also allowed two random people to tour the space as we were getting ready for the event -allowing them to walk through everything, including our “private” bridal suite. For the groomsmen, you had to walk all theway around the building, through a room full of garbage and old boxes, and up some stairs to get to the groomsmen suite. Duringthe event, They rushed us out of everything. Took peoples plates away before they even had a chance to eat anything, even thebride and groom, made several mistakes regarding table layout and overall were not kind. Their staff chef even left just beforethe event date so a new one had to be hired. We have many allergies in our family and it was supposed to be an allergen freewedding - something every staff member applicable had been briefed on. However the new chef and staff were not, and my cousinended up having an allergic reaction to the food so bad we had to use an epi pen and bring him to the emergency room. Not onlythat, but the staff tried to lie about what the milkshakes were made of, claiming they were coconut milk, even after havingasked for clarification several times, when in fact, the ice cream used was made of cashews - a major allergen for several of myfamily members. We are lucky that it was only one of my family members who got sick. If it was not for the external weddingplanner and photographer we hired, the day would not have been as nice as it was. Again, beautiful place, terrible ser Read more
We absolutely loved our wedding at The Farmhouse! We had a hard time finding an venue that was rustic (but not too rustic) and... elegant (but not stuffy or ridiculously expensive). Then we found the Farmhouse! :) We got married on July 29 and the outdoorceremony space was absolutely stunning. The ballroom was just as gorgeous with its beautiful fireplace and romantic chandeliers.It was truly a fairy tale. Debbie and the whole team are absolute experts and the entire wedding ran like a well-oiled machine.We got SO many compliments on the food, especially at the cocktail hour. When guests talk to us about our wedding now, theyusually bring up the food at cocktail hour :P We cannot recommend The Farmhouse enough. We had our dream wedding at this venue. Read more
We had our wedding here in early August. The grounds were beautiful, food delicious, and the wait staff and attendant were very... attentive. This venue is very interesting and has some cool spaces for pictures like the Kissing Tree, Schoolhouse, and mypersonal favorite, the speakeasy-esque bar located off of the reception room. Read more
My daughter’s baby shower was held here and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service and attention we received during... the event. The food was delicious and the presentation of it was excellent. It was a beautiful sunny day so we were able toenjoy the outdoor and indoor event areas. We would strongly recommend using The Farmhouse to anyone looking for a location tohave a baby shower, birthday or wedding event. Read more
Here are the things you need to know -There will be tours given throughout the time you are getting ready for your wedding- your... coordinator will definitely give more attention to these ten couples then she will to you all day. -the light breakfast is acouple of cold miniscule quiches, fruit and a couple of danishes. -mimosa bar has the champagne but only 2 flukes, no orangejuice. -bridal suite is small, so you will get ready in the cocktail hour space- and the staff won't clean that up until guestsarrive -all problems will be blamed on the fact that there was a wedding with an afterparty the night before that ended at 2am. -the day of coordinator is not around, nor will she ever be around. -bridal suite attendant will introduce themselves anddisappear never to be seen again. -coordinator will state "this is the first time I am looking at the ceremony plan" 45 minutesbefore the wedding is to start. -"practice" will consist of your frustration due to the coordinator not having the most updatedlist- that was most definitely emailed to her in the correspondences your shared. -staff wont set up your decor for you toapprove before your ceremony, so your bridesmaids have to do it while you get ready alone. -Staff will set your tables behindwhite pipe and drape during your ceremony, drop plates, glasses and silverware the whole time while talking andlaughing. -Coordinator won't show up for ceremony so your bridesmaids have to get it started. -cocktail hour will have 2 serverswho never make it past the the first bar. -salad will be served almost right away for the reception, but dinner will be servedalmost two hours later and cold. -dessert is missed by most of the guests as they want to dance for the last 30 minutes of yourwedding because that's all they are going to get since dinner was so late. -your dream sparkler exit has to again be organizedby your bridesmaids because yet again, surprise surprise coordinator is no where to be found.
