My husband and I had our wedding this past September at Born to Run Farm and we cannot recommend it enough! We were really hoping for a beautiful NJ sunset over the mountains but the weather had other plans and it rained all morning and into the reception. Joe and his team were incredible throughout the day making sure everything was taken care of from the vendors to us getting ready at the house with the rainy weather. They made the entire process of planning a wedding much smoother and were able to help where needed. Their services day of were spot on and all of our guests were raving about the location. It truly is a hidden gem that gives you a little bit of everything. I am so thankful that I was able to have my wedding at their location. Highly recommend Born to Run Farm and their amazing team!
