Why Planning Support Matters
A smaller celebration does not always mean fewer details. You may still need to coordinate ceremony flow, reception plans, personal decor, floor plans, and vendor communication.
Every wedding here includes wedding management as the date approaches. If you want more hands on guidance, you can also explore Partial Planning, Signature Planning, or Full Service Planning through Lovely Weddings and Events and Briggs & Co.
What Is Included With Every Wedding
About two weeks after booking, you receive access to the planning portal, a custom checklist, and organizational tools for timelines, vendor information, reminders, and other important details. Three months before the event, a dedicated Wedding Manager begins helping finalize the timeline, communicate with vendors, organize logistics, and prepare key details.
Wedding management also includes floor plan assistance, setup coordination, ceremony coordination, reception management, weather backup planning assistance, and vendor load in and delivery management. On the day itself, eight hours of onsite coordination are included. Our team manages the flow behind the scenes so you can focus on celebrating.
A Peaceful Setting Near Scranton
Our property sits at the base of a mountain in Waymart, Pennsylvania, within easy reach of the Scranton area. The 33 scenic acres create a relaxed countryside atmosphere with natural photo opportunities. The 5,400 square foot barn provides a welcoming setting for celebrations, while mountain views and open pastures give the farm its distinctive character.
If you are considering a smaller guest list, you can schedule a tour to see how the available spaces fit your plans and vision. For guests traveling from New York or the Hudson Valley, the location offers a peaceful Pennsylvania setting.
Personal Details That Add Character
One feature that makes New Leaf Farm feel especially personal is the Legacy Loft. It began when a couple left a few decor pieces behind for another wedding to enjoy. Over time, that gesture grew into a shared collection.
The Legacy Loft includes lanterns, signs, candles, and vases. You can use pieces from the collection at no additional charge. Personal items can also be dropped off before the celebration, and our venue team handles setup.
A Family Run Venue With Planning Experience
New Leaf Farm is operated by Jeff and Amanda Briggs alongside Marie and Dave Kovaleski. Our approach centers on personal attention, responsive support, and helping you feel cared for throughout the process.
Amanda, our Co Owner and Creative Director, brings more than a decade of experience in wedding planning, event design, logistics, and hospitality. That background adds professional insight to the way celebrations are organized and supported.
When Full Service Planning May Be Right for You
The wedding management included with the venue supports you as the celebration approaches. Some people, however, want additional help during the broader planning process. Partial Planning, Signature Planning, and Full Service Planning are available through Lovely Weddings and Events and Briggs & Co. These options let you choose more hands on support when you need it.
If you are planning an intimate Poconos wedding from outside the area, added guidance may also make it easier to stay organized while making decisions from a distance.
Conclusion
An intimate celebration can still involve plenty of moving parts, but the experience should not feel like a second job. With thoughtful support, a clear process, and a personal setting, you can spend more time enjoying the people and moments that matter.
New Leaf Farm combines a family run atmosphere with professional coordination, scenic surroundings, and optional planning upgrades. If you are considering an intimate Poconos wedding, a tour is a practical way to explore the property, understand the available support, and decide whether the setting fits your celebration.
