Bishop Farmstead
Southampton, New JerseyThe Big Red Barn
Constructed in 1932, this vintage barn oversees 12+ acres of native grasslands – a rich habitat for wildflowers, birds and butterflies – and a historic farmhouse built in the 1750s by a second-generation Quaker farmer. The property is also home to Pinelands Preservation Alliance, whose mission is to protect the natural resources, history and culture of this unique region.
In 2017, the Alliance transformed the barn into a great gathering place. The recently completed renovation brings contemporary comfort and energy efficiency to a setting that still retains its authentic character. For weddings and private celebrations, the “big red barn” opens onto beautiful outdoor spaces for garden ceremonies and cocktails, while the interior is scaled for dinner and dancing for as many as 175 guests.

Reviews
Bishop Farmstead was the first venue my fiancee and I visited -- and the last! We fell in love with the beautiful hayloft and meadow-like outdoor space and knew we need not look any further. Cake and catering is included, and though we were initially nervous about not having a choice over catering, Jeffrey A. Miller catering definitely pulled through. At the group tasting, the tomahawk steak and BBQ pulled pork in a jar were the night's favorites. And though I am not vegan, the vegan meal and cake options were unfairly delicious! Pick Bishop -- you're in good hands!
My fiance and I are getting married at Bishop Farmstead this October and we could not be more excited! The pictures of the venue blew us away and we were even more impressed when we toured it in person. The grounds are stunning and the barn is rustic and beautiful. The JAM team has been super helpful thus far and their wedding planning manual has been a life saver! We recently had our food tasting and loved all of the delicious, farm-to-table options. October can't come soon enough!
We are just thrilled that we chose this venue for our upcoming wedding! We were looking all over for a rustic barn setting, but none seemed to catch our eye until Bishop Farmstead. In person, this was the only venue we visited, and between what we saw, and the meeting with Danielle, our JAM event designer, we immediately pulled the trigger and booked our wedding here. Both the indoor and outdoor facilities are perfect for what we are looking for. The outdoor area is open and spacious; plenty of space to have lawn games or the like for our cocktail hour. The inside has two floors; the bottom floor can be used for additional cocktail hour space, but the upstairs Hayloft is the main focus: designated for the reception, which is beautiful. This venue can easily host our 120 guest wedding, and I cannot wait to see our vision come to life there!
