The only good thing about Lauxmont Farms is the amazing view.
Now for the downside. They are very disorganized. They forgot about numerous meetings we had scheduled with Lauxmont. You never talk to the same person more than once. They won't let you view the site even after you have booked the venue without an appointment and escort. They told us they would have brick flooring on the tent floor for the sunken gardens and they also told us they would have a second room completed in the farm house for the bride. Both were not completed by our wedding day which was 9 months after our first visit. Now for the wedding day. Thankfully our caterer took care of any hiccups at the start of our day. We rented chairs because Lauxmont has wooden chairs which are painted white but at the end of the wedding season they have numerous scratches and dings that show the brown wood. Due to lack of rain the land was very dry so I cannot fault Lauxmont for that. However the driveway to the site is dirt/stone. They could have at least sprayed the driveway with water before everyone arrived to keep the dust down. All of our guests and their vehicles were covered with dust the day of the wedding. The carriage ride is a joke. The individuals driving the cart were not friendly. The carriage took us to the end of the parking lot and back.
After all of this things went rather well. Until 8pm. There was no more water. That means there was no washing hands or flushing toilets. I'm assuming they operate off of a well which was probably dried up due to the drought. We attempted to contact Lauxmont staff numerous times but were unsuccessful each time. Keep this in mind if you schedule a wedding here in the summer. After reading multiple reviews it appears that water is always an issue. Something they should think about fixing ASAP.
Again, I gave them one star for the beautiful scenery. I would definitely have my wedding here again but I would never do it without a coordinator and outside services!!! Bring some extra water as well to flush the toilets when the water runs dry!
P.S. they delete their negative reviews from Google! I would know.
