Cedarlea Farms is owned and operated by Val & Craig and their family. Having moved here with their young family a couple years ago, they are working hard to update this farm into a dreamy homestead. They are eager to share with their community by taking the historical elegance of the handmade cottage and barn, and adding new and exciting things to come that will hopefully allow larger events in the future.
This elopement package is offered by Alanna & Val working together .
Our elopement packages are starting off small and suitable for fun loving, go with the flow couples who will help us showcase the potential of this amazing farm, but will also help us iron out the little things as we host our first small gatherings this year.
IE, it’s our first season so it may not be perfect, but it will be fun
and you’ll have beautiful photos.
By receiving this largely discounted package option, we hope that you will enjoy the most amazing and memorable celebration together.
We gratefully ask that you allow us to share a little of your love story to help invite more couples to join us in their plans in the next year.
