NOTE: We rented the visitor's center for our wedding. This “barn” has been renovated to have air conditioning and hardwood floors. It is a modern building in every sense of the word. Frying Pan Farm Park has been hosting events for many years, and it shows in their coordination and planning. They have clearly laid out policies, checklists, and they are there to guide you through every step from booking a date to getting a liquor license. They have a plan in place, but are also flexible to their customer’s needs. For example, they were willing to let specific people (photographer, set-up team) onto the upper balcony, and they were able to accommodate cars in their parking lot overnight for guests who felt safer taking an uber. Their staff were knowledgeable about their sound equipment and were willing to tinker with it at length until I was satisfied with what we were getting. Through our planning process, they also made a few upgrades to the facility. The new sliding barn door in the Auditorium looks great! They also provided us with to-scale floor plans so we could design the layout of the tables for the reception. I really appreciate how the staff treated us and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to book there...

Exactly When that happened the staff came To us saying the wagon is ready( few mins before 3 pm ) . What do you expect us to do? We were forced to give up the wagon ride activity “apparently because they have to wrap Up the wagon stuff by 3 pm ? Seriously ??????? We were extremely disappointed and so were the kids !! The wagons should have been ready by the time we came Out the gardening guru program or at least within 10 -15 mins after that !!!! We felt totally let down and extremely...
