How Can Couples Plan a Cocktail Hour and Reception Bar at Our Farm Wedding Venue in Glen G

When you are planning a farm wedding in Glen Gardner, we always suggest starting with the physical setup that is already included in your venue package. Here at Born to Run Farm, our wedding packages include specific features for cocktail hour and the reception, which gives you a practical starting point before we talk about additional rentals or service details. Looking at these inclusions first helps you separate what we already provide from the questions we still need to answer together.

Start With the Bar Features Already Included in Your Package


Our Daisy package includes a cocktail hour setup with a wine barrel bar and wine barrels, along with a reception bar. The Elouise and The Dorothy build on The Daisy, so if you choose either of those packages, you receive these same physical bar features. Knowing this early gives you a defined base to plan around. Instead of hunting down every physical bar element separately, you can start with the setup that already comes with your package and then decide whether you want to explore anything more.


Use the Cocktail Hour Setup Alongside Our Other Included Features


We don't think cocktail hour should be planned in isolation from the rest of the day. The Daisy also includes our ceremony site with an arbor, chairs, and benches, so you have defined features for the earlier part of your celebration before guests move into cocktail hour and the reception. That same package covers the tents, tables, seating, and dance floor for your reception. When you look at these pieces together, you get a much clearer picture of what we already have waiting for you on the property.

Review Our Select A La Carte Options Before Finalizing Your Setup


If you want to add something beyond your package, we offer select a la carte rentals. These include our Champagne Wall, Farm Tables, Bridal Suite, Outdoor Lounge Furniture, and Vintage Horse Trailer. Keep in mind that The Elouise already adds 20 farm tables and the vintage horse trailer bar to everything included in The Daisy. Since the vintage horse trailer and farm tables appear on our a la carte list as well, you have an easy point of comparison when you're deciding whether a package upgrade or an individual rental fits your plans better.


Keep the Wider Reception Setup in View


The Daisy includes our 40 by 100 foot tent with electric, Edison bulb lighting, carpet flooring, a chandelier, and side walls. It also provides a 20 by 40 foot tent, 20 round tables in 60 inch and 72 inch options, 240 white resin folding chairs, and a 28 by 18 foot dance floor. Every one of our wedding packages also includes six banquet tables, table numbers and umbrellas, staff support, golf cart services, a parking area, a fire pit, and a bathroom trailer. For weddings with more than 75 guests, the bathroom trailer is required, and the size varies according to your guest count. Keeping these practical inclusions in mind helps you understand our broader setup while you make decisions about cocktail hour and the reception.


Conclusion


Planning a cocktail hour and reception bar with us is easier when you begin with the verified physical features in your wedding package. From there, you can compare our select a la carte rentals and flag any beverage or service questions you'd like us to walk through with you.
