Tucked away between large trees and gorgeous foliage, the Manor House at Prophecy Creek sits on 80 acres of land. It is owned by Robert Fair, who created this venue in 2010 after having much success with his catering company. Robert Fair Caterers remains the in-house caterer for The Manor House at Prophecy Creek. 

The house itself is 260 years old, and has been incredibly maintained to keep the original charm of the property with some modern touches. The Manor House at Prophecy Creek can accommodate up to 280 guests! There are a variety of spaces both in the Manor and in the ballroom to host weddings of all sizes without feeling overwhelming. They have a large parking lot to hold all of your guests, and the venue is ADA accessible so all of your loved ones can celebrate with you without worry! Prophecy Creek has packages that include nearly everything (cake, linens, and even a day-of coordinator) so couples do not have to stress about smaller details.

The Tour:

Upon entering the Manor, we headed straight back to the tented ballroom and were completely blown away. The Ballroom layout is so unique and different from any other venue I have seen before. The top floor is used for dancing, the sweetheart table and overlooks the lower floor where the guest tables sit. Ovular tables are used to provide a more intimate dining experience versus the larger round tables that are traditionally used! The tent is climate controlled to accommodate weddings year-round.

The walls of the tent were rolled up to show the perfect view of the immaculately landscaped garden. Two ponds are divided by a winding pathway leading to a stone bridge that is perfect for pictures and a gazebo where many couples opt to do their first look. The area is surrounded by lush trees, including the 8th largest tree in the country, Big Bertha, which has a sweet little swing attached to one of its thick branches that couples can use for pictures!

Ceremony Spots

There are two different ceremony spaces set up outdoors depending on the desired backdrop and the size of your wedding. The larger space has a stone walkway leading up to a platform with a gorgeous view of the garden! An arch can be set up and decorated, but many couples opt for no arch as to not disrupt the view. The smaller space is near the barn on the property. The same stone path and platform is set up in this area, as well, with a lush greenery background to keep the focus on the couple.

Regardless of the space you choose for your ceremony, you are only steps away from cocktail hour in the garden! Guests are free to roam the garden during cocktail hour and take advantage of the various spaces for pretty photo ops. You are the only wedding booked on the property for the day so the entire space is for you and your guests!

The Manor

Our tour of the Manor began upstairs in the Groom’s suite! This space has plenty of seating, a TV, a speaker, and a full bathroom for his group to use while getting ready. Up another floor is the spacious Bridal Suite that contains everything a bride and her ladies could need to prepare. The suite is divided into two separate rooms connected by a small doorway. The first room has multiple vanities set up for the girls’ to have hair and makeup done and a bathroom, making it the perfect getting ready spot! The second room is spacious with seating, a mirror, and even a ceiling hook for the bride to hang her dress. Another large bathroom is right outside the door so all of your girls can get ready at once and stay on the timeline!

Back on the main level are a handful of charming rooms! The library is the cutest spot for guests to grab photos in front of perfectly posed library decor. This room is also where the cake and dessert stations are set up after dinner. If you walk through the doorway in the library, you are taken into the bright dining room that houses the coffee station! Down the hallway and behind some French doors is a room with an additional bar that you can add on to your package for faster beverage service.

The Ballroom

We ended our tour in a smaller indoor ballroom with doors that open right back out to the tented ballroom! This room has a large window that overlooks the gardens and provides plenty of natural light for indoor photos during the day. During the reception, this area is typically where the DJ is set up, and provides more space for dancing than just the upper level of the tented ballroom.

Every room in the Manor has its own charming qualities, making the Manor House at Prophecy Creek a perfect choice for your wedding day!

This charming, modernly rustic venue is tucked away on a quiet road surrounded by acres of picturesque landscape. The Farm is owned by Chris and Becca Lynde, who also got married and reside on the property. 

The Seed Barn was built in the 1820’s, and was rebuilt by an Amish Crew in 2016. It is 2000 square feet and can host up to 200 guests. That same year, they opened up The Farm Bakery and began selling delicious treats made with locally sourced ingredients! 

While weddings are a huge part of their business, The Farm also hosts rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, baby showers, concerts, workshops, and more. There is ample parking and the entire venue is handicap accessible. Not to mention, the owners and staff at The Farm Bakery & Events are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

The Tour:

Upon turning into the large parking lot, you are immediately greeted with the sweetest and most inviting details – the welcome sign, the outdoor seating areas, and The Flour Cart (that some couples choose to serve welcome drinks from). 

Harvest Barn

We began our tour in the Harvest Barn. This gorgeous, rustic chic space has a high ceiling with walls of French doors that overlook their pristinely landscaped fields. Natural light fills the room and makes this the perfect space for smaller events! The second floor of this space holds freshly upgraded guest bathrooms, and hidden around the corner is the bridal suite.

This space is immaculate and has everything a bride and her crew could ever need to get ready. A wall of mirrors and vanities (with plenty of outlets) for hair and make up, a large bathroom, hooks to hang dresses, multiple seating areas, and even a coffee bar! The room also has a row of large windows to provide natural light and gives the bride a sneak peek of her guests arriving.

Outdoor Ceremony Space

Outside of the French doors, you are led down a path toward the Seed Barn and the outdoor ceremony space. Following that, a wooden arch stands at the end of the aisle surrounded by trees with Edison string lights strewn above. This dreamy ceremony space can be decorated as desired, but remains perfect as is!

After the ceremony, guests are seamlessly transitioned over to cocktail hour underneath the deck of the Seed Barn! Finally, guests can relax in the shade or explore the offerings of the property without having to trek far at all.

The Groom’s Suite

In this area under the deck, you find an unsuspecting barn door, but what lies behind that door is the groom’s suite! This space has a spacious seating area, a bathroom, a pool table, a tv, bar seating, a mini fridge, and a Keurig to help keep all the anxious jitters away before the ceremony. This suite keeps all of your guys close by so that there is no scrambling to find everyone before showtime!

After we toured the groom’s suite, we were taken to the main event: The Seed Barn. We walked up the stone path toward the large barn doors, and once they slid open, we walked into the most intimate and cozy reception space! Straight ahead sat the sweetheart table and rows of long tables were set up on both sides, leaving the perfect space for dancing in the center of the barn. More Edison lights are draped across the rafters that work to enhance the romantic ambiance!

The Seed Barn at Farm Bakery

Behind the sweetheart table is another set of doors that lead out to the deck that overlooks the ceremony space, the optional fire pit (with s’mores!), and the rest of the idyllic property. Tents can be put on the deck to accommodate a higher guest count, or this space can be used for guests to relax by heaters in the Fall or cool off in the Summer! 

Wedding Customizations

One aspect of The Farm that couples will love is their ability to customize their event to their own tastes! You are free to decorate however you wish, choose vendors that best align with your vision, and even choose add ons from the Farm like the fire pit, s’mores bar, and tractor rides. The venue even provides tables, chairs, set-up and breakdown, and day of coordination as part of the package booking your wedding with them! All in all, The Farm will check all of the boxes.
