Since 2006, Friedman Farms has been the original barn wedding venue in Northeast Pennsylvania and has witnessed hundreds of “I Do’s.”
We are located approximately 15 minutes from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. We are centrally located 2 hours between Philadelphia and New York City. Our historic barn has been preserved to maintain its original rustic beauty, but updated with elegant crystal chandeliers, climate control, restrooms, bar and more. We can accommodate up to 200 guests.
Included in your barn wedding rental price, the barn is available to you Tuesday through Sunday. Feel free to embrace your DIY talents or let the natural beauty be your palette.
Our pet-friendly venue is 7600 square feet and situated on over 150 acres of rolling fields, horse pastures and romantic willow trees. Our large deck off of the cocktail hour and expansive dining room areas overlook a landscape lighted stream, stone bridge and flagstone fireplace.
Choose from three outdoor ceremony sites – secluded hilltop, flagstone fireplace or recently completed gazebo – or in case of inclement weather, our top loft inside.
Unlike other venues, when you book with us, you receive access to the barn to begin your decorating and on TUESDAY of that week! No rush to get all of your DIYs and details settled – allowing you to bring your ideas to life so you can enjoy your big day!
Things to note: If a Saturday wedding is booked , the bride and groom are offered the opportunity to accommodate or deny a Friday wedding if one is not already booked.
If you book a Sunday wedding and there is a wedding the previous day, you have a Sunday setup.

The wedding of my dreams!!!
Where do I start with the most perfect wedding venue? Our fall wedding was absolute perfection because of Friedman Farms. Even all our friends and family said so! The most beautiful barn, ceremony so location at the gazebo and the beautiful backdrop of fall foliage, nature, and horses! Breathtaking!
Everything went perfectly and I truly could not have asked for more. Nicole, our wedding coordinator was a dream leading up to the wedding but she really shined for us on our wedding day. The owner, Rob, was communicative and lovely and came to meet my husband and I on our wedding day. They welcomed our beloved dog with open arms and it made our special day even better with him there. Shawn, the operations manager was the nicest and accommodating person as well and he helped us greatly with set up. I wish I could have my wedding there all over again, Thank you all so much!!!!

We had a wonderful and magical day at Friedman Farms!
We loved having our wedding here. The barn is so beautiful! They allow you to add decor you like and remain flexible in requests. We loved our special day and we are so glad we went here! We drove three hours from home to have our wedding at Friedman Farms because we fell in love with the place and the staff. Definitely recommend! And if you can get Grico’s to cater, even better!

Wedding of our dreams
We had a flawless experience for our wedding on 10/5. Shawn was able to assist with anything we needed for set up week of the wedding, and Nicole was available day of for us. Linda was also so kind and helpful throughout the entire process after securing our date.

Wonderful Experience
Everyone at Friedman Farms was great to work with. They expertly minimized the stress of wedding planning and made it so we were worry-free the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend and thank them all enough. This space is rustic elegance and a beautiful spot to host any event, especially a wedding. My friends and family are still raving about it 5 months later.

Couldn’t have asked for better!
Most of my communication up until the month of was through Linda and she was amazing! Answered every question in a timely manner! The month of I dealt Pete and he was amazing! Pete answered every single question and was a blessing I didn’t know I needed! Our day was amazing and I cannot thank them enough! Decorating was simple! The barn is beautiful on its own, but I added little touches. We got married by the fire pit and though it rained and we couldn’t use it after the ceremony it was just beautiful! I highly recommend!

Perfect rustic barn wedding venue
Friedman Farms was the perfect barn wedding setting for us. With the expansive rolling fields in the back, and a rustic but polished interior, it had everything we were looking for in a wedding venue. We had to change our ceremony site at the last minute due to heavy rains, but were able to use the fire pit area which ended up perfect! The high ceilings and string lights are great, but this is definitely a venue best for those who prefer to DIY when it comes to table settings and decorations. Friedman Farms is the perfect canvas to be creative with. The value compared to other barns is unbeatable for the venue price. The size was perfect for our 130 person wedding, but we could have easily fit up to 160. Pete was amazingly helpful with barn setup and day-of coordination to ensure everything goes as planned. Highly recommended, but be sure to book far in advance!

Friedman Farms was the most amazing venue I could have asked for! I wanted a beautiful barn wedding, but was on a pretty strict budget. Friedman Farms was not only beautiful (I’ve been receiving compliments even months after the wedding) but it was incredibly affordable.
The farm is gorgeously decorated with lights and really, doesn’t need a whole lot of extra decoration. However, you are given the option of bringing in anything that you want AND using a ton of stuff that the farm has to offer too! This barn is a DIY dream and at the same time, can be used for someone who really doesn’t want to do much decorating at all! It really is a beautiful location!
On top of all that, the staff was amazing! Pete allowed me to come visit the farm multiple times before the wedding to plan out my ideas and take measurements. Any and all my question were quickly answered and the whole staff was helpful with making any accommodations I asked for. Linda was amazing beyond words. Throughout our whole wedding day, she was doing everything she could to make the day run smoothly – and she did an amazing job! From dealing with our family to making sure we had everything we needed, she was sweet and professional the entire day! I couldn’t have been happier with where my wedding reception was held – it was perfect!

Friedman Farms was the most beautiful venue. We were able to decorate it to make it our own vision (and the barn is already beautiful without decorations!!). We had our ceremony outside under the gazebo. We also used their sister companies and rented trolley and had our rehearsal dinner at the Beaumont Inn. Everything from Friedman Farms exceeded our expectations. Everyone made sure everything went smoothly! I highly recommend this place! Thanks for the perfect venue Friedman Farms!

This was such a beautiful location for our wedding reception! Everyone was really easy to work with during the planning process, and the night went off without a hitch! Our pictures are amazing. Highly recommended!

My husband & I searched endlessly for our perfect barn venue. Everywhere we looked, barn venues were basically gutted and transformed to look like a banquet facility. We stumbled upon Friedman Farms in our search and immediately fell in love. It is a true working farm, the barn has all the original detail, plus elegant chandeliers, beautiful grounds, massive drapery.. It is absolutely PERFECT! They even keep their beautiful horses out for you! I can’t describe in words how beautiful this location is.
Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. Rob, the owner, is an awesome guy– very laid back and offers a lot of flexibility to transform the barn into anything you can envision.
We had a Sunday wedding, so while the Saturday weddings have access to the barn the entire week prior, we only had access to the barn for decorating & setting up the morning of the wedding. This was part of the reason why we decided to hire a wedding coordinator (see below).
While the venue does provide wedding coordinators, we decided to hire a separate coordinator, Danielle Pasternak, after reading some reviews about the coordinators provided by Friedman. Danielle and her team helped transform the barn into everything we envisioned & more in less than half of a day!
We received rave reviews about the barn and how beautiful and unique it was. Our guests calls in the Wedding of the Year! 😉
I would definitely recommend checking out this venue if you are looking for a rustic venue with all the original detail!!

Friedman Farms was a where we had our Wedding. We fell in love with this place the instant we saw it. We booked it immediately and anxiously awaited our Wedding date a year and a half later – it required a ton of planning and organizing but was worth every bit! Our guests raved that ours was the best wedding they’ve ever been to – the beauty of this venue is unmatched. From the vaulted ceilings, chandeliers, space, sprawling grounds.. Friedman Farms is perfection. The owner, Robert Friedman, is very cool to work with – very laid back and very pleasant to deal with when you’re on the verge of becoming bridezilla. We were given a coordinator that orchestrated the entire day and help put our mind at ease. The entire day was absolute perfection. I want this place to remain a hidden treasure, but I fear word will be spreading like wildfire as it is a creative bride’s dream 🙂

I knew that Friedman Farms was going to be my venue from the moment I walked through those barn doors. The barn, the greens, everything was absolute perfection! Thank you to Rob, Linda, and everyone on the Friedman Farms staff who helped make our day so wonderful 🙂
