A Harvest Wedding

After 3 duds, Hallmark's Fall Harvest got one right.

The story was almost believable, except for the very end which was off-the-scale unbelievable, but funny and cute. Yes it was sappy, but the story managed to keep us interested with some drama and small surprises here and there.

Jill Wagner and Victor Webster, two veterans for Hallmark, were good together. Wagner did a nice job keeping Sarah fairly grounded despite many stressful situations both in her job and personal life. Wagner managed to stay the romantic focus of the movie despite two other gorgeous ladies in the story, the bride and her assistant.

I saw it on the exact day it premiered. That doesn't happen often, but I like when it does. And I'm also the first to submit a review, nice! Well, they say this takes place for the most part in Massachusettes, however, IMDb page says it was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Well, obviously there were some New York City shots as well. I think IMDb missed something in terms of where it was actually shot. I do believe most of it was probably in Canada. I haven't seen those colors anywhere last year or this year in Vermont and we are pretty close to Canada though. The fall colors definitely popped in this film and that was cool. But Williamstown, Massachusettes? Yes, there is such a place and it is located in the Northwest part of Mass, which is actually real close to the southwest portion of Vermont. So yes, possibly some harvesting areas are there. I was trying to picture it in my mind, but then I took the satellite view of Williamstown to see what kind of farming could be going on there, but it's inconclusive at best. Yes, filming location was suspect. Yes, they showed a street sign welcoming people to Williamstown, so maybe some of it was filmed there as well. Anyway, well worth at least one viewing. Solid 6 Stars from me!

Great concept A farm wedding But could she pull it of in just 2 short weeks. Well I recommend you watch it to see. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/2/2021

I'm a new Hallmark convert and am officially loving this Fall movie fest thing they do. But that being said, this IS... a Hallmark movie so cheesy and sweet are a given. This movie was simple and funny! It honestly made me feel the Fall season and excited. The setting is gorgeous, the actors aren't overly cheesy but great actors for this film. The chemistry was awesome and seemed easy. Not the overly forced, cheese that sometimes happens. I really liked this movie and it boosted my spirits for fall! I think Hallmark has finally nabbed me and I'm not sure what's happened? Highly recommend this movie for anyone.

7.2 stars.

"A Harvest Wedding" is lacking something, where is the oomph? A wedding planner named Sarah (Wagner) who currently lives in New City, is planning the wedding for the brother of an ex-boyfriend she hasn't seen in 15 years. David (Webster) the ex-boyfriend is a farmer and the wedding will take place on his farm in Pennsylvania. The weeks leading up to the wedding have run amok.

This movie has cookie cutter written all over it, however it was released in 2017, so maybe it wasn't so unoriginal back then. The most positive aspect is that the wedding ceremony is simple and elegant. Also favorable is the cinematography and music. I was impressed by the very end, make sure you see the last 30 seconds, it's quite amazing.

The chemistry was a bit off, and I am astounded at the audacity of it. Both of these actors rarely fail in the chemistry department, but for some strange reason they weren't on the same page. After all the similar Hallmark films I've watched, why did this one fall short? I was expecting at least average, but Miss Wagner is hit and miss and I perish the thought. It's probably not her fault.
