The Benefits of a Bridal Suite: Feel at Home On Your Wedding Day

When it comes to your wedding day, there’s no place like home—or better yet, no place like our Farmhouse (You can leave the ruby slippers behind—your white dress is all the magic you’ll need.) From the first cup of coffee to the final swipe of lipstick before “I do,” every moment of your wedding day deserves to feel easy and comfortable.

Choosing a wedding venue with a bridal suite can make all the difference. It gives you a private, cozy space to relax, get ready, and soak in every second with your favorite people, while getting to enjoy your wedding venue for the entire day. Trust us—you don’t want to be juggling dresses, makeup bags, and breakfast orders in a random hotel room, then sprinting over to your ceremony site hoping your curls (and your sanity) survive the trip.

At The Farm on Main, our Farmhouse bridal suite was designed to make you feel completely at home—because once upon a time, it was a home. And now, it’s ready to be part of your love story too.

Why a Bridal Suite Matters More Than You Think

A Space to Relax, Recharge, and Savor the Morning

Your wedding morning should feel like a deep, happy breath—not a frantic scramble. That’s where the magic of a bridal suite comes in. It’s your private little bubble away from the buzz, a place to soak in the excitement, laugh with your favorite people, and just be for a while before the big walk down the aisle.

We’re talking satin robes and matching silk pajamas, coffee brewing in the kitchen, the pop of a champagne cork, a little orange juice on hand for mimosas, and your wedding dress waiting nearby for its grand debut. And the best part? You’re not trying to make this happen in a tiny, impersonal hotel room. You’re in a real home, your home for the morning with all the space and comfort you need to start your wedding day just right.

A Setting for Candid, Can’t Miss Moments

Some of the most unforgettable memories don’t happen at the altar—they happen before it. The quiet hug from your mom after she zips up your dress. The happy tears during a first look with your bridesmaids. The fight or flight moment when someone tries to pop the champagne and it goes flying. An on-site bridal suite gives those moments space to breathe. It’s where the nerves settle, the joy bubbles up, and the photos practically take themselves.

A Seamless Start to Your Wedding Day Timeline

Getting ready on-site means your morning gets to feel like a morning—not a military operation. No traffic stress, no “Did someone grab the bouquet?” panic, no hauling gowns across town. Everything—and everyone—is right where they need to be. With The Farmhouse just a golf cart ride from your ceremony, your morning unfolds at your pace. Calm, collected, and full of good vibes.

Welcome to The Farmhouse: A Local Landmark Reimagined

From "Little Blue House" to Bridal Suite

If you’re from around here, you probably remember it—that sweet little blue house just off Main Street. It wasn’t just any house. It was the house. The one locals passed on their way to the shore. The one that always seemed to belong to someone with a story to tell.

About ten years ago, Tom and Jessica Scangarello purchased that iconic property and made it their home—raising their family within its walls and renovating it themselves. And now, that same house—transformed with care and intention—is our Farmhouse bridal suite. A space that’s lived a full life, and is now ready to be part of yours.

Thoughtfully Renovated With Purpose

The blue became white, but the heart never left. The bones of the house—the ones that held a family, laughter, and years of memories—remained intact. Inside, Tom and Jessica kept everything that made it feel like home, layering in thoughtful comforts, vintage charm, and just the right touch of modern ease. It’s warm. It’s welcoming. And every inch of it was updated with love—and you can feel it the second you step inside.

Inside The Farmhouse

Two Full Baths, Two Bedrooms, and All the Essentials

The Farmhouse opens its doors at 8 AM—and from that moment until your First Look, it’s all yours. Inside, you’ll find two full bathrooms (no lines, no stress), two bedrooms, and a living area that feels more like home than any hotel suite ever could. The house is fully stocked and fully yours for the morning—yes, that includes the stove, fridge, dishwasher, and even a washer and dryer (we’ve never seen a bride do laundry on her wedding day... but hey, never say never!). It’s everything you need for a smooth, stress-free morning—with no detail left behind.

Glow Up in The Green Room

There’s a reason we call it the Green Room. In the theater world, it’s the space where dancers, actors, and performers get ready before stepping into the spotlight. And on your wedding day? That’s you.

This is where your glow-up begins—surrounded by soft natural light, a plush green couch, a floral rug underfoot, and mirrors everywhere you turn. There’s a full vanity for touch-ups, tall chairs for your glam squad, and just the right kind of calm to ease you into the day.

And if you’ve got a full bridal party in tow (bring on the bridesmaids!), hair and makeup may spill into the living room—and that’s perfectly okay. The whole house is yours to use and enjoy. There’s space for everyone to feel relaxed, pampered, and photo-ready.

Outside The Farmhouse

A Picture-Worthy Porch and Swing

That front porch swing? It’s more than just a pretty spot—it’s a moment waiting to happen. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or sharing a laugh with your bridesmaids, the porch has a way of turning the simplest scenes into unforgettable memories. It’s been the backdrop for countless bridesmaid portraits, teary-eyed parent first looks, and sweet pre-ceremony stillness. And when the sunlight hits just right? It feels like a scene out of a storybook.

Chickens, Greenery, and Pure Farm Magic

Yes, we’ve got chickens. (And yes, they’re fenced in!) Out back, you’ll find a peaceful pocket of farm life with their coop. It’s not unusual to hear a few happy clucks in the background as you pose for portraits or sneak outside for a deep breath of fresh air. And just inside the door? You’ll find a bowl of farm-fresh eggs, gathered from our very own hens. Feel free to take a few—our little way of saying welcome home.

Purposeful Privacy and Seclusion

Some moments are meant to be shared—and some are meant to be yours alone. That’s why we designed the layout of the property with purpose. The Farmhouse sits secluded from The Forsythe Barn, where the gentlemen get ready in The Loft upstairs, so you can relax on the porch without worrying about a surprise run-in. It’s just you, your favorite ladies, and the buildup to one of the biggest moments of your life.

Little Luxuries That Make a Big Difference

Early Access at 8AM to Settle In and Unwind

The last thing your wedding morning should feel like is a countdown. That’s why we open The Farmhouse’s doors bright and early at 8AM—giving you time to ease into the day, your way. Want to curl up on the couch with a coffee? Go for it. Set up a full breakfast spread in the kitchen? Absolutely. Pop that first bottle of bubbly with your girls before your turn with hair and makeup? We highly encourage it. Your timeline starts with comfort, not a stopwatch.

Morning Bites & Beverages Made Easy

We’ll have coffee and water ready when you arrive—because comfort starts with the little things. You’re more than welcome to bring in your own breakfast, lunch, snacks, and sips; but if you’d rather not think about it, Sunny Rae’s Kitchen has you covered.

Our in-house catering team offers chef-curated platters filled with fresh fruit, avocado toast, crudités, and sandwiches that keep everyone full and happy for breakfast or lunch. It’s one less thing to plan, one less thing to pack—and one more moment you get to actually enjoy.

See The Farmhouse for Yourself

If you can already picture yourself sipping coffee on the porch swing or slipping into your dress in the Green Room—why not come see it in person?

Schedule a tour and see firsthand why our Farmhouse doesn’t just look like home—it feels like it. And when your wedding morning finally arrives, you’ll know what we mean: there really is no place like it.
