The Old Elm Farm was a perfect venue for our daughter's wedding and Theresa helped make sure everything went smoothly with no effort on our part. The farm is gorgeous, and the views of the Flat Irons was breathtaking especially with the fall foliage and stunning sunset. The machine shop and fire pit area provided relaxing venues for the guests before we sat for dinner in the rusticly beautiful barn with even better views to the west! The kids then moved downstairs to dance while non-dancers could relax and talk upstairs or in the machine shop. Everything was clean and comfortable, providing a perfect venue for the wedding. But we are also considering renting the space for future family events and parties. Can't say enough about the space nor Theresa who was awesome to work with! THANKS!!!
