Bishop Farmstead 

5.0

  • Up to 175 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $14,500

Constructed in 1932, this vintage barn oversees 12+ acres of native grasslands – a rich habitat for wildflowers, birds and butterflies – and a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer. The property is also home to Pinelands Preservation Alliance, whose mission is to protect the natural resources, history and culture of this unique region. In 2017, the Alliance transformed the barn into a great gathering place. The recently completed renovation brings contemporary comfort and energy efficiency to a setting that still retains its authentic character. For weddings and private celebrations, the “big red barn” opens onto beautiful outdoor spaces for garden ceremonies and cocktails, while the interior is scaled for dinner and dancing for as many as 175 guests.

Bishop Farmstead is THE perfect venue for any couple who is looking for a cozy and rustic feel for their celebration! This was our first and only venue that my fiancé and I toured and we instantly fell in love with the beautiful and well-kept grounds and barn; we knew that there was no other place that could compare. Bishop Farmstead perfectly fit our vision for a rustic, yet still elegant and classy wedding reception space. Compared to many other NJ venues, especially for the September-October months, the venue was very reasonably priced. The decor/style that the venue provides is naturally gorgeous, especially the candle package. Definitely recommend Bishop Farmstead if you are looking for a laid-back and timeless wedding/reception.

I cannot recommend Terrain enough as a wedding venue. We had such a fantastic, time. I do not have words to explain how amazing everything was. Every guest came up and told us it was one of the most gorgeous and classy weddings they had every been to. Everyone RAVED about the food. We had a friend say “this is the first wedding I became food drunk before actual drunk.” (Positive!!) The coordinators anticipated our every need and had them taken care of before we could even say anything. They were exceptional!
