Every celebration tells a different story. At Born to Run Farm, we've learned that a corporate retreat needs something entirely different from a wedding, just like a milestone birthday calls for its own special touches. What stays the same? Our commitment is to making each event feel personal and perfectly suited to you.

Creating the Right Atmosphere for Every Occasion

The key is understanding what each celebration needs. A wedding requires a ceremony flow and romantic touches. Corporate events need professional setups that encourage networking. Birthday parties want flexibility for all ages to enjoy themselves. We've designed our packages and services to adapt to these different priorities while maintaining the same quality and attention to detail.

Flexible Spaces That Work for Any Guest Count

Our main venue centers around a 40' x 100' tent with electric, Edison bulb lighting, carpet flooring, a chandelier, and side walls. We can accommodate intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, with different setups depending on your needs. The 20' x 40' additional tent gives us flexibility when we need extra space for activities or dining.

For weddings, we include a ceremony site with an arbor, chairs, and benches. Corporate groups often appreciate the open layout for presentations or team-building activities. Birthday celebrations can spread out across both tented areas, giving guests room to mingle and move around comfortably.

Service That Matches Your Event Style

We provide golf cart services and dedicated staff for every event. Our team understands that a wedding reception flows differently from a corporate dinner, and we adjust our service approach accordingly. The fire pit becomes a natural gathering spot for any celebration, whether guests are sharing stories after a company meeting or enjoying late-night conversations at a family reunion.

All events over 75 guests require our bathroom trailer, and we handle the logistics based on your party size so you don't have to worry about those details.

Food and Beverage Setups for Different Celebrations

Wedding receptions get our wine barrel bar setup during cocktail hour, then transition to our main reception bar. Corporate events might skip the ceremony elements, but still enjoy the same quality bar service. Birthday parties can use either setup depending on the formality you're after.

Our farm tables work beautifully for family-style birthday dinners or corporate lunches where conversation flows easily. Round tables suit wedding receptions or more formal corporate events where guests prefer individual seating.

What's Included and What You Can Customize

Every package includes 6 banquet tables, table numbers, umbrellas, staff, golf cart services, parking, and our fire pit. We provide 20 round tables in both 60" and 72" sizes, plus 240 white resin folding chairs. The 28' x 18' dance floor works for wedding receptions, but corporate groups often use that same space for presentations or activities.

Our three main packages, The Daisy, The Elouise, and The Dorothy, offer different combinations of amenities. The Dorothy includes engagement photos and a bridal suite that opens 5 hours before your wedding, perfect for getting ready on site. Corporate events and birthday parties typically choose The Daisy or The Elouise, depending on whether they want our vintage horse trailer bar and farm tables.

Planning Your Event Flow

Wedding days often start with ceremony setup using our arbor and seating, move to cocktail hour around the wine barrel bar, then transition to reception dining and dancing. Corporate events might begin with arrival coffee around the fire pit, move to presentations in the main tent, and then finish with networking over dinner.

Birthday celebrations have the most flexibility. Some families prefer ceremony-style seating for speeches and toasts, while others want cocktail-style mingling from start to finish.
