When you're planning your wedding day, there's something magical about celebrating under the open sky. At Born to Run Farm, we've watched countless couples exchange vows with nothing but blue skies above and rolling farmland stretching to the horizon. Our 129 Mountain Top Road location in Glen Gardner gives you that perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience that makes outdoor weddings truly special.

Creating Your Perfect Outdoor Wedding Experience

Every outdoor wedding has its own personality, and we've learned that the best celebrations happen when couples feel completely at ease in their surroundings. At Born to Run Farm, we've built our services around giving you that perfect foundation, so you can focus on what matters most: celebrating with the people you love. Let us walk you through how we make outdoor weddings work beautifully.

Your Ceremony and Reception Spaces

We designed our outdoor spaces with your comfort in mind. Our ceremony site comes complete with an arbor, chairs, and benches, so you and your guests can focus on the moment without worrying about the details. The real beauty happens when you move from your "I dos" to cocktail hour, where our wine barrel bar and wine barrels create that perfect farmhouse atmosphere.

For your reception, our main tent is a 40' x 100' space with Edison bulb lighting that creates the most beautiful warm glow as evening approaches. The carpet flooring means you and your guests stay comfortable, while the chandelier adds just the right touch of elegance. When the weather calls for it, we have side walls ready to keep everyone cozy.

Service That Takes Care of Everything

From the moment you book with us, our staff handles the heavy lifting. We provide golf cart services to help you and your wedding party move around the property easily, especially helpful when you're in wedding attire. Our team sets up your ceremony site, arranges your cocktail hour space, and transforms the reception area so you can spend your time with family and friends.

We include 20 round tables in both 60" and 72" sizes, along with 240 white resin folding chairs and table numbers. The 28' x 18' dance floor gives everyone plenty of room to celebrate, and we provide umbrellas for those sunny afternoon ceremonies.

What's Included With Your Booking

Every wedding package includes our core amenities. You get the ceremony setup, cocktail hour arrangement, and reception tent with lighting. We provide parking for your guests and have a fire pit area where people can gather and chat as the evening winds down.

For weddings over 75 guests, we bring in a bathroom trailer to ensure everyone stays comfortable throughout the celebration. Our pricing varies based on party size, so you're only paying for what you need.

Customizing Your Farm Wedding

Our three package levels let you build the perfect celebration. The Daisy package gives you everything you need for a beautiful farm wedding. Step up to The Elouise and you add 20 farm tables and our vintage horse trailer bar, which always gets guests talking. The Dorothy package includes our bridal suite that opens 5 hours before your wedding, outdoor lounge furniture for that relaxed farm feel, and engagement photos to capture your story right here on the property.

If you want to mix and match, we offer items individually too. Our champagne wall creates a stunning focal point, and you can add farm tables or lounge furniture to customize your space exactly how you envision it.

Conclusion

We guide you through every step of the planning process because we know how important this day is to you. Our family-owned approach means you're working directly with people who care about making your wedding special and unique to your story. We'll help you think through the flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to dancing, making sure everything feels natural and enjoyable for you and your guests.

Since we're an outdoor venue, we work with you on timing and backup plans to ensure your celebration goes smoothly, regardless of what the weather brings.
