Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of Farm are we?
We are Bee farmers and small crop farmers, including apples. We have 50 hives at this time throughout Northwestern Ohio and sell our honey, bee pollen, and beeswax products at twelve retail and seasonal locations throughout the same area. We provide some delicious honey for your events when renting for an all-day event. Also, our honey is available to purchase by the ounce for events that are not held at our property.
How many guests will the barn hold?

We are an outdoor/indoor facility. That is why our normal season is from March thru November. We have a wall on the barn that fully opens to the outside, and your tables can be blanketed throughout the inside to the outside to gaze under the stars or under a client-provided tent. With this option, we suggest limiting your guest list to 400.

In the summer we will have sunflowers , wildflowers, crops and blooming apple trees at different times and will try to let the brides know thru our facebook page when things are starting to bloom so you can set up your photo shoot. In the winter, there are a few really wonderful places like in the middle of the pine tree clearing to snap your save the date pics.

Are children allowed on the premises?

We welcome children, but all children under the age of 16 should be supervised at all times by an adult due to the nature of the property and because it is a working farm.

Is the barn air-conditioned or heated?

Our historic barn was built in the early 1900’s – We have 3 types of heating that can be used. We are installing a whole barn fan on the 2nd floor of the barn that will work to pull all the heat out of the barn for your event. We also have a portable air conditioner in the kitchen/bar area and one in the brides room. You are welcome to bring in fans if you wish.

Can we add additional decorations to the barn?

Yes, we love to see how each couple transforms the barn to fit their own unique style. In an effort to keep a natural rustic atmosphere the following items cannot be thrown, released or scattered outside or in the barn: balloons, fireworks, party poppers, potpourri, silly string, sequins, glitter, artificial flower petals or artificial leaves. Options to consider for outside would be bird seed, real flower petals, sparklers, eco friendly wedding confetti, bubbles or dried lavender or other type of dried flowers,

No, but keep in mind that we do not have any cooking equipment on site. We do allow warming equipment such as roasters, crockpots and sterno under chafing dishes. Outside food trucks can be used as well as outside smokers, or open pit grilled chicken. Brookview Farms does grill chicken on site if the order is large enough. We also do have a plug in for a food truck so that they don’t have to use their generator.

Yes. Please see the information above about cooking equipment.
