Northbrook Farm Package Details
Here’s the scoop… you get full access to the beautiful grounds (minus the house interior) starting at 9 am on Friday before your wedding all the way through Saturday until midnight and Sunday until 11 am. That gives you and your crew plenty of time to set everything up and take it down afterward - no rush, just good vibes!
Pro tip: make a party out of the prep work on Friday. Treat your setup team to a fun BBQ right there at Northbrook. Or bring in some local pizza, I recommend Bozco’s Pizza from nearby Coldwater. You’re welcome.
And let me tell you, Laurie is the ultimate Garden Whisperer! The gardens and grounds at Northbrook are absolutely stunning, filled with all sorts of hostas, perennials, and majestic trees. Chris is the magic-man behind the scenes ensuring everything is in tip-top shape.
