Rustic yet elegant, farm or barn weddings offer a laid-back and naturally beautiful atmosphere for your nuptials. Whether you have always envisioned a bucolic setting for your big day or you’re a minimalist who is drawn to neutral color palettes, New Jersey is home to many rustic venues that may suit your style.
One of those venues is the Farm on Main in West Creek, which opened in September 2023. Located 15 minutes from Long Beach Island, this restored farm sits on a nearly 20-acre property and boasts countryside features like horse stables.
