Hemlock Farm is an incredible place, and the owner, Jennifer, is absolutely amazing to work with. Our experience with Hemlock Farm was everything we wanted for our wedding weekend - including that we could stay there if we wanted to both Friday and Saturday nights. She had suggestions for other wonderful vendors to work with, to simply being a beautiful location. The Bridal Suite in the air-conditioned Barn was such a highlight to have our hair and make up done Saturday am. A plus was being so close to all major shopping areas for any last minute items needed. So glad we found Hemlock Farm!

We had our wedding at the CherryHill Ballroom pavilion, and it was absolutely beautiful. The venue went above and beyond to make our outdoor ceremony space feel magical. They decorated everything with such care—from the stunning arch to the bows on the bridge—and perfectly incorporated our wedding colors: dusty blue, white, and gold. The attention to detail was incredible. The flowers, the sweetheart table, and the arch were all tastefully done and felt so personal to us. It made for the perfect backdrop to say “I do.” We’re so grateful for how smoothly everything went and how breathtaking everything looked. Thank you to Lina and her team at CherryHill for making our special day unforgettable!

We held our wedding at Mess Hall in October 2024 and couldn't be happier with how things went. From the very beginning, working with Al, the owner, was a dream. He's incredibly responsive and thoughtful and helped us think through a vision for the evening. He had great recommendations for food and drink that felt personal to our taste as a couple. His ability to think big-picture AND attend to the smallest details made for an incredibly smooth planning process and sensational wedding day. Our guests loved the industrial vibe of the garage bay and the farmhouse/tavern feel of the interior rooms - the best of both worlds! When speeches went long during dinner, Al worked with us in the moment to adjust our timeline so we could maximize time on the dance floor. Al doesn't miss a beat.

The Perfect Venue for Our Wedding We cannot recommend Guilford Hall enough as a wedding venue. From the moment we first toured the space, we knew it was the perfect fit for us. The combination of the industrial aesthetic with Art Deco details set the stage for an unforgettable celebration. We held our ceremony in the Beer Garden, hosted cocktail hour in the Beer Garden using the Cocktail Room and Cigar Lounge, and had our reception upstairs in the Crown Room. The flow of the event worked perfectly, and the pictures we captured in those spaces are absolutely incredible. The venue fit our style in every way. We chose a buffet for dinner, and it was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved the food—especially the crab cakes, chicken, and steak. Our signature drinks were made just how we wanted them, and the bar service was top-notch. A huge shoutout to Chef Mauricio and the entire kitchen staff for going above and beyond to help us curate the perfect menu and flawlessly serving 115 guests. The food was incredible and never stopped coming—our guests couldn’t stop raving. We also want to give special recognition to Dani, the Events Planner at Guilford Hall. Dani made us feel incredibly comfortable from start to finish. She went out of her way multiple times to make sure everything went smoothly and that we felt at ease throughout the process. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and without her, we would have been all over the place. She is absolutely incredible—if you have the chance to work with her, take it. She went above and beyond every step of the way to make our day perfect. Working with the entire Guilford Hall team was an absolute breeze. Every staff member was professional, accommodating, and dedicated to making our vision come to life. We couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did to help us host the wedding and reception of our dreams. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers unforgettable memories, exceptional service, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere—look no further than Guilford Hall.

The event spaces were a great canvas for us to customize our wedding decor. I even had a private bridal space to get ready in. The museum itself is unique and modern, with the historic charm of the old synagogue. It really was the perfect day, I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

If you value a clear plan, assurance of care, and a professional experience for your wedding (who doesn’t?!), trust me when I say you MUST have your wedding at Chase Court. Invaluable to an anxious bride and type-A personality, David’s expertise constantly put my mind at ease every step of the way. As soon as I arrived to the wedding, David had already handled placements of vendors and other miscellaneous details that he gathered over months of planning and listening to what we wanted for our day. The courtyard was so beautiful that my mind instantly melted into our ceremony and its magical setting. Our guests were so impressed and stunned at the gothic aesthetics of the ballroom as well. Looking back on photos, I know we couldn’t have picked a better place. To put it simply, this venue and David’s experience with wedding events of all types make it the ultimate package. A totally timeless, adaptable, romantic, and UNIQUE place to get married. We will forever remember how perfect our special day was, thanks to Chase Court!
