Comus Farm is dotted with picturesque spots that are ideal for both ceremonies and receptions of all kinds. Many couples choose to exchange vows at the Gazebo or the Pond. In the following hour, guests mingle in the Rose Garden for a cocktail reception. Receptions can then be held in the newly constructed outdoor pavilion or the grand indoor barn, both of which are available for rental. For the duration of the weekend, you can stay in the farmhouse itself which has seven bedrooms and three and a half baths. Make contact with us if you want to make your wedding weekend or special event one to remember!
