Armstrong Farms

What Armstrong Farms does

Armstrong Farms is a family-owned wedding venue business operating two restored 19th-century barn properties in Western Pennsylvania: Fieldstone in Saxonburg and Westminster Preserve in Sarver, located approximately 30 minutes from Pittsburgh. The company sells a Weekend Wedding Package that grants full venue access from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning, on-site lodging for 13-20 guests across two private houses, a dedicated coordinator, ceremony and reception setup/breakdown, rehearsal dinner space, a post-reception bonfire, and access to a complimentary Prop Shop of decor items. Package pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a base guest count of 125 and an additional $15 per person beyond that threshold; lodging taxes apply. Fieldstone operates year-round with geothermal climate control and accommodates up to 180 guests (150 indoor plus wraparound deck), while Westminster Preserve is seasonal (May through mid-October) and accommodates up to 250 guests in a tent-and-barn configuration.

The business is built on a 200-year-old Pennsylvania Century Farm estate held by the founding family for seven generations, which originally operated as a purebred Black Angus cattle operation (continuing today as the subsidiary Armstrong Farms Beef). Weddings were first hosted in 2000 after restoration of a mid-1800s barn, making the company one of the first barn wedding venues in the region. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer: couples discover the venues through the Squarespace website, Instagram (@armstrongfarms), The Knot marketplace, and Google Reviews, then convert via scheduled private property tours. Bookings are made 12-18+ months in advance, and the service is delivered by a small core team — Owner/Director Andrew Allen, Venue Manager Krist English (~9 years tenure), Sales and Marketing Manager Kelsey Belin, and Wedding Coordinators Lori Brzoska and Anna Williams — supplemented by house cleaners, barn cleaners, and landscapers. Beyond weddings, the company maintains a conservation partnership with Ducks Unlimited tied to the Westminster Preserve wetlands and continues the legacy cattle business under the Armstrong Farms Beef brand.
