When it comes to outdoor events — whether it’s a wedding, family reunion, corporate retreat, or milestone celebration — the right venue makes all the difference. A beautiful backdrop may catch your eye, but a truly successful outdoor event depends on more than just scenic views. From flexible spaces to reliable amenities, your choice of venue can shape the entire experience.

At Farm 1750, we know that creating memorable moments begins with the perfect setting. Our countryside venue offers multiple spaces that cater to both intimate and grand gatherings, accommodating up to 500 guests. However, what truly sets us apart is our ability to combine charm, function, and flexibility — the essentials for a flawless outdoor celebration.

Space That Adapts to Your Guest List

An outdoor venue should be flexible enough to host both small and large gatherings. Farm 1750 offers versatile spaces that can comfortably accommodate 75 to 300 guests. Whether you’re hosting an intimate vow exchange or a grand reception, we have a space that fits your vision.

Our sprawling lawns and orchard areas give you the freedom to plan creative layouts, from elegant dining tables under a tent to open-air cocktail lounges surrounded by nature.

Ample Space for Tents and Outdoor Structures

Weather can be unpredictable, and that’s why having a venue that accommodates tents is essential. Tents don’t just provide shade and comfort — they also create an elegant atmosphere while keeping guests protected from the elements.

Farm 1750 offers generous open spaces that are perfect for tent installations. Whether you prefer a clear-top tent for stargazing, a structured tent for formal dining, or a cozy marquee for cocktail hour, there’s plenty of room to build your dream setup.

Our trusted partners at Signature Event Rentals can also provide all the necessary tenting, tables, chairs, linens, and décor — ensuring a cohesive and seamless planning experience from start to finish.

A Venue with Functional Amenities

Outdoor beauty means little without functional convenience. When visiting potential venues, consider the essentials: Are there accessible restrooms? Is there power for lighting and entertainment? Are there spaces for preparation and storage?

Farm 1750 goes beyond the basics. We offer 12-hour exclusive venue access, tables and chairs for up to 150 guests indoors, and spacious dressing suites for pre-event preparations. Our indoor space, Novacelli, features retractable walls and ceilings, providing a modern backup option in case of inclement weather.

Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to support both the practical and aesthetic needs of your event.

Scenic Backdrops for Every Moment

From the orchards and chestnut trees to the vineyards and open fields, every corner of Farm 1750 is naturally stunning. Couples and photographers love the variety of backdrops available for ceremonies and photoshoots.

Morning light, golden sunsets, and starry skies all play a part in creating the unforgettable atmosphere our venue is known for.

A Dedicated, Hands-On Team

Our owners, Tammy and Fernando, are deeply involved in every event. They take pride in ensuring the grounds are perfectly maintained, the spaces are spotless, and the experience is personal. At Farm 1750, you’re not just booking a venue — you’re partnering with a team that cares about making your event exceptional.
