Our aim
is to provide as much of the planning and vendors as we can -
We want to make your day easy, stress free and memorable. We hope to be as much of a one stop shop as we can, and what we don’t provide - we’ll help you source! All of the vendors we recommend, we have personally worked with or vetted thoroughly - they’re bomb, and we know they will work as hard as they can to make sure your day is as flaaawless as you are! Please get in touch for a full list of inclusions and pricing.

Don’t know where to start? Don’t worry! Although we don’t include these vendors in our package, we can still recommend our favourites, to help narrow down your search.
Flowers AND DECOR
We work almost exclusively with Susan Findlay from Porcelain and Vine. Shes been in the industry for over 20 years and literally makes Farmhill look her prettiest, dreamiest self. We can’t hype up Susan enough! Porcelain and Vine has packages for florals, decor, table rentals and furniture/ decor rentals PLUS she will literally BE HERE AT THE CRACK OF DAWN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT to set up and tear down - like what a friggin’ kwweeeen. Moral of the story - hire her, you wont be sad.
ALSO because we love community, and are obsessed with the earth and creating less waste in the wedding industry - we’ve also teamed up with Telsi from Retrograde Gardens. Telsi is a farmer florist who began her flower farming dream in 2022 on our farm, Millen+Smith Acres. Eventually, as the garden grows our hope is that local florists decorate your wedding with some of the blooms grown right here!
Transportation
It’s no secret that people like to let LOOSE at weddings and we want you to have the coolest party, and the MOST fun. But we also want to ensure you have a safe ride home. So, because we’re hella thoughtful like that, we’ve partnered with a local bus company, Pascal bus co to drive you and your pals to and from!
Uber is cool and all but they ARE NOT COMING TO THE FARM ON A WEEKEND NIGHT and y’all - Jenn can’t be driving your drunk bums home at 2 am when your driver doesnt show ;) We HIGHLY recommend adding the bus to your day.
They also do amazing brew tours if you’re looking for some mid week fun!
Cocktail Hour - reinvented
Remember those alpacas we chatted about?! Well they’re jazzed about cocktail hour and want to show your guests a realllllll good time. If you’ve been to a wedding before, think about cocktail hour - its either super boring, or you and your pals get bombed waiting for the couple to come back from taking portraits. While we want you to indulge (responsibly) we also want to give your guests something to do (and *hopefully* something to talk about for years to come) and being that we’re a working farm, we thought “hellllllo, animal cocktail hour” Enjoy a bev in our paddocks hanging with lambs, horses, piggies or alpacas - give them a snuggle and take ALL the selfies you can. Our handlers will be there every step of the way ensuring a safe, informative and fun experience!
Bar Service
Im sure you’ve picked up on what we’ve been putting down in terms of our local lovin. So keeping with that theme we stock our bars with our favourite local beer, wine and spirits along with some lcbo goodies. We have 6 wine options and carry a variety bobcaygeon, camerons, old flame, dominion city and collective arts beers.
DOMESTIC BEERS: we don’t carry them. If you’re dead set on crushing a busch or whatever your beer of choice is, we’ll bring in ONE domestic option of your choosing. You pre pay for cases ($8/beer) and we’ll serve them till they’re gone and send you home with any extras.
OFF MENU WINE: We will bring in any wine you like, you let us know how many bottles, you’ll pre pay and we’ll send you home with any of the left overs - hello sunday funday sangria!
*** WE DO NOT PROVIDE GLASSWARE FOR THE TABLE - we ONLY provide bar glassware ***
