A team retreat gives your group a chance to gather somewhere different from the usual workday setting. At Cecil Creek Farm, that means gathering on a working organic farm in Mickleton, NJ. We host private events year-round in either the Barn or Market, and we also host brunch and luncheon events at The Barn, Market, or Greenhouse. Here are the space, menu, timing, and policy details we'd want you to review as you plan.
Planning Your Retreat at a Corporate Event Venue in Mickleton, NJ
We'll walk through where your team fits, what we can put on the menu, and the guidelines worth knowing before you set a date.
Where Your Team Fits
We can seat up to 220 guests in our Renovated Barn, and that space includes room for dancing. The Market is also available as a venue option. We host events year-round in either the Barn or Market, with seasonal variations and both weekday and weekend availability. For brunch and luncheon events specifically, our rental options include The Barn, Market, or Greenhouse spaces.
What's on the Menu
We build retreat meals from our private events menu. Starters include crostini with spinach and ricotta and Maryland crab cakes, and mains range from organic pastured chicken breast and wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon to a vegetarian carrot osso bucco. Pasta and risotto dishes, including pesto pappardelle and risotto with cremini and oyster mushrooms, round out the options, and we close the day with a dessert assortment of cupcakes, cannolis, and brownies.
Farm Surroundings for Your Group
Our venue features include The Fields & Pond, along with goats, chickens, and horses as part of the farm setting backdrop. We also keep Event Parking on site, and all of our facilities are handicap accessible.
What to Confirm Before the Date Is Set
We require a minimum spend on food and rental fees for private events, so it's worth having a rough guest count early in your planning. We need your final guest count and payment 14 days out, and vendors must submit proof of liability insurance and a signed indemnification waiver at least 7 days before the retreat. Guests and vendors may arrive 1 hour before the event start time.
Property Guidelines to Know Before the Retreat
If you're bringing in decor or signage, we ask that it be inventoried with our staff and cleared out by the end of the day. Nothing gets pinned, nailed, taped, or fastened to the property without our approval first, and any candles need to stay inside glass globes or cylinders since open flames aren't allowed otherwise. We're also not liable for items that are lost, damaged, or stolen before, during, or after your event, so it's worth keeping valuables with someone on your team.
