Our wedding at The Meadow was such a special experience - I will never forget what an amazing day we had there!! This was first and only venue we looked at, actually. We just knew it was the perfect rustic setting for us, and so close to home! We also had the freedom to choose our vendors and décor, which was very appealing to us.
The Meadow is located on Red Ridge Farm, a family-owned cattle farm. The farm owners, Stacie and Mark, were so kind, helpful, and easy to work with. And The Meadow is so beautiful and peaceful, a little slice of heaven. The ceremony space is located on grassy lawn overlooking a scenic cow grazing field. We had them call the cows over to feed on hay behind us during the ceremony and it was the cutest thing! The reception was under the tent and we rented the 2nd smaller tent as a space for our buffet setup. Our 130 guests took up most of the room under the main tent. The dance floor was just the right size for our crew and there are 3 well-maintained restrooms adjacent to the reception area. It was all so perfect!!
Our guests had such a wonderful time exploring the grounds, watching the cows, dancing, hanging by the campfire, and taking photos in the woods. We did have a contingency plan in case of rain, but we totally lucked out with perfect weather. I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough! It is truly a hidden gem in Salisbury and I would be delighted for the opportunity to come back as a wedding...
Read moreThis venue is fantastic! All outdoors, with a big tent, hardwood floor under the tent, lighting strung up throughout the tent and around the tent. There is a fireplace and guests LOVED it! Also a couple wooden 2 person swings which was a hit with my guests as well. The ceremony area has wooden logs as seating which is pretty nice and you won’t get splinters, promise! You have the choice for the cattle to be fed around ceremony time which was a nice backdrop and entertainment for the guests! Most importantly: bathrooms with running water! There are 3 bathrooms which were decent in size and real toilets and sinks, no porta potties!
We booked our venue with Stacie back in 2019. We were looking for a vendor that allowed a food truck and allowed our own dessert catering. Throughout the years (and a Pandemic), Stacie has been nothing but helpful! We went by the venue multiple times over the years to get an idea of decorations and Stacie was easy going, easy to contact, and always willing and open to us dropping by. She made this experience so painless and easy! They provided the tables, chairs, a couple big long tables and a couple wooden spools of varying sizes for drinks/whatever you wish to decorate on them. We used the big wooden spool for our s’mores table! 10/10...
Read moreThis could be a nice place. Nice country side, active farm with cows. A tent on nice green grass. Turkeys were walking in the woods as we ate dinner.
The road coming in is a bit bumpy, and the parking was on grass. All adding to the rustic feeling. There was sufficient parking for guests. A tent with tables was where the food was being served. The floor was wood.
The ceremony was held on the edge of the cow field, and a farmer came and fed cows right as the ceremony started. We sat on log benches. While the bride and groom stood under a wooden structure.
The huge downside is that they allow smoking next to the eating area. I thought smoking at establishments was outlawed in MA, so I did not expect huge waves of smoke to descend on the eating area. This is not good for someone with asthma that is induced by smoke. This situation was extremely unpleasant. We had to leave the wedding early so I could breathe. I would suggest this place put the smoking area farther away from guests.
The food was decent it was from an outside catering company. There was plenty to eat.
There are bathrooms on site that were adequate, and they were dimly lit, giving a camp like vibe.
I have never been to a farm wedding before. If that is what you are looking for, check...
