Let us make your day stress free. We can assist you to make your vision a reality that is as unique as your individual personality.
Our pavilion is a new addition to Cricket Chirp Farm. Nestled under towering walnut trees, the reception pavilion welcomes you to an enchanted moment as you are announced for the first time as husband and wife and greet your guests in secluded elegance.

Our Reception Pavilion
Tour Our Victorian House and Venue
Our Victorian farm house was build in 1917. Its century old charm welcomes you in to enjoy every moment of your special day. When you visit for a tour, you may spot our family cats, all 8 of them, and 2 dogs, Bella who believes she is the bell of the ball and enjoys wearing her very own wedding gown as seen in some of our pictures and Duke who is the perfect gentlemen decked out in his tuxedo. During your tour, you will see the entire venue including the Bridal Suite and the Groom’s Suite (press the venue tab below for pictures of the suites), the kitchen and prep rooms for the caterers, the greenhouse and the reception area.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The Greenhouse has beautiful 100 year old oak floors and windows that open to an endless view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The reception area is nestled within towering walnut trees with old-world charm and a unique stone floor with a pavilion that towers 22 feet in the air with 10 foot sides perfect for your enchanted wedding day. The Groom’s suite is on the opposite side of the farm house and on a separate floor from the Bridal suite, so the Bride and Groom are always discreetly private from each other. We’ve been told the quiet, serene ambiance of Cricket Chirp Farm starts your beginning of forever in peace and harmony. Contact us today for your tour.
