    A perfect farm wedding venue

    We recently had our wedding here - we did a multi-day event and everything turned out perfect!! The venue was gorgeous and Pete & Brenda were lovely to work with. I especially loved the bonfire.

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Your wedding was so much fun to host over the four days you all were here. The bonfire is a special touch that everyone loves. Thanks again for asking us to host your wedding!

    A Magical Weekend

    The grooms live in Washington DC, the respective families live in Norfolk VA and Omaha Nebraska, so the 1/2 way point for both families to get to by driving was Lexington KY. Collin and Nate visited Terrapin Hill Farm in the fall of 2022 to check it out as a wedding venue. They loved the feel and beauty of the farm and soon booked the venue for their June 2024 wedding. The owners, Brenda and Pete, were so welcoming to the boys & both families. The rehearsal dinner, as well as the wedding, was hosted at the farm and Brenda was so attentive to my many long distance emails & texts with a million questions and my quick visit to May to finalize rehearsal plans. She met the caterer and I at the farm to make sure the rehearsal celebration would be as comfortable and relaxed as the wedding. They were so helpful in setting up the tables around the farmhouse area and made sure the grounds were mowed and manicured, bonfires ready to light, for the wedding and rehearsal dinner events. This venue is a perfect venue for a rustic, outdoor event and Pete and Brenda truly love sharing their farm for events like ours. If you are looking for a unique and magical place for a joyful event, Terrapin Hill Farm is the place!

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    We love the word "magical" to describe our venue! We feel like our farm is magical, and you're right we absolutely sharing it with others and helping out with the plans. I'm so glad we were centrally located for your families, the wedding was wonderful and I'm so glad you were happy with what we offer.

    Lovely Rainy Sunday Wedding

    Pete and Brenda are wonderful people to work with, and they have created such a unique venue with Terrapin Hill Farm. They both were a pleasure to work with, and offered great suggestions of local vendors that frequented their venue in the past. The site itself had wonderful accommodations for changing rooms, bar area, and the reception area. Without question, we are very happy to have gotten the opportunity to have our wedding at Terrapin.

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Even rainy days can be beautiful wedding days, which yours certainly was. It was a pleasure working with you both, and we're so glad that you were happy with our venue!

    Dream Wedding

    Dreams Come True

    Working with Brenda and Pete for our wedding was the better than I could have ever hoped! They have a beautiful way of sharing their calm while you're in the chaos of day-of and last minute prep. The venue was absolutely stunning and I am so grateful we chose to celebrate our love at a place that emanates such a natural peace sense of wonder!

    Exceptional experience

    We went with the Elopement Package, and it was more than I could imagine. Aside from what is advertised, there were no limitations on our wedding, we were offered amazing assistance and still felt like a big event with our small five person party. An absolutely gorgeous venue with two wonderful owners who helped make our day extremely spacial.

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Big or small, every wedding is special and we're so glad we could help make yours what you wanted it to be!

    Gorgeous venue!

    We couldn’t have had a more perfect venue for our elopement ceremony and small reception. Pete and Brenda were so amazing through the planning process and executed my vision for our big day perfectly. Highly recommend, 10/10 and can’t say enough good things about this place and these people!

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Thank you Katie! I'm so glad we were able to create a package that worked just for your needs and your budget. It was a lovely wedding!

    Gorgeous, Relaxed, Rustic Venue with everything you'd want for a perfect Wedding!

    Where to begin? Our October wedding at Terrapin Hill Farm was PERFECT! It turned out better than I ever could have imagined. First of all, the landscape is gorgeous! It is rustic and serene. We chose the top of the hill as our ceremony sight and the breeze and sunshine, mixed with the view of the surrounding hills in the background, and the rustic wooden arch/teepee covered in flowers, made it all a dream to look at! Pete and Brenda are so relaxed and such lovely people who really strive to make sure you have an amazing day! Pete will even drive you (the bride) up to your ceremony in his old cadillac to make a grand entrance if you want. One of my favorite parts of the day was sitting in the cadillac with him on our way to the hill, and just talking about life and family. He was so kind and really helped calm my nerves! He also set up a bunch of lights and firewood and a mattress in the teepee on the property for our wedding night. They also have lots of decor that fits with the venue on hand that you can use that really looks good in that setting! We came up with most of our decor the morning of, using a lot of what they had, and everything turned out beautiful. We were able to have everything we wanted, from the huge bonfire and s’mores table, to a whole hog roast and mariachi band at the end of the night. Everything was perfect! I 100% recommend this venue to anyone who is a free spirit, who wants a relaxed place to celebrate with family and friends, while still having a gorgeous venue with everything you’d want!

    Thank you for your glowing review, Daniela! You and Michael had a gorgeous wedding and it was our pleasure to help make sure it all turned out the way you wanted to!

    Perfect in every way

    Pete and Brenda, the owners, are incredible. The venue is beautiful. If you want a chill wedding and a professional venue, this is the place. I could not be happier with our choice. Everyone loved it.

    We're always happy when our bride and groom are happy! But it's really great when we hear about how much their guests love our venue too!

    Absolutely the BEST wedding vendors around.

    Pete and Brenda were so amazing and helpful through the whole process, they are very patient and accommodating! They truly went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we dreamed about. We hired Brenda to be the coordinator as well and we are so glad we did because she was in regular contact with us through all the planning stages and helped make sure everything went smooth and on schedule the day of. Terrapin Hill Farm is such a beautiful venue, there are many great spots to take unique wedding photos. There is so much potential there to customize and create a unique wedding tailored to your style. I would highly recommend Terrapin Hill Farm!

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Thank you Eryn! It was such a pleasure working with you to make your dream wedding come true. I'm so glad you took advantage of the many places around the farm to get photos - the ones I've seen so far are wonderful!

    The Cashels were absolutely amazing. My husband and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone, and we did so very often throughout the planning process!

    We highly recommend Terrapin Farm!

    A priority for us was being able to focus less on the little details and more on the commitment we were making. That being said, we also tried to plan our 160+ person wedding within 2.5 months… Despite the short timeline, it went so well, and that was in large part thanks to Brenda and Pete. Brenda was extremely quick to respond to emails and had a wealth of knowledge about local vendors. She offered ideas and items they had on hand, saving us a lot of money and brain-space in the process. Pete helped us set up and went above and beyond on the day-of to keep things running smoothly, from topping up water jugs to creating an awesome bonfire. We highly recommend renting the farmhouse for the night before, which allowed the wedding party to bond and relax leading up to the wedding. The whole venue is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and even though we had our wedding in the muggy heat of August, a nice breeze blew through the reception area and made it a sweaty-but-totally-bearable event. Having our wedding at Terrapin was a smooth, surprisingly chill, gorgeous experience. I recommend it to everyone seeking an outdoor wedding facilitated by extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and laid-back venue owners. Pro tip: get Brenda as the day-of coordinator! She handled our planning chaos with grace and poise and helped lower our stress immensely!

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Thanks for your wonderful review, Bri! It truly was a pleasure working with you and Peter. I'm glad you decided to plan your wedding even though you had a short time to do it, and that we could help make it all happen just the way you wanted it.

    Would get married there again

    Gorgeous location, friendly hosts, I'm not saying I plan to get married again, because I think once oughta be enough, but the folks at Terrapin Hill made it as painless as possible. They sent us a checklist of things in advance to make sure we had everything covered, which saved us from forgetting stuff, too. Highly recommend.

    Thanks for your kind review, it was such a pleasure to host your wedding! We have over 15 years of experience, so we love to give tips to help out couples doing this for the first time!

    Absolutely Fantastic

    Getting married at Terrapin Hill was the BEST decision we made in the wedding-planning process!! Brenda and Pete are wonderful people, who made it impossible to stress during the weekend. By Friday night, they felt like family! We were able to stay on site with our family for the whole weekend, and it was amazing to have no cut-off time to leave the bonfire. Brenda answered all my questions with kindness, and made me feel comfortable asking for what I needed. If you want to get married outside in a beautiful location, THIS. IS. IT!!

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Awww, thanks for your sweet review! We definitely do our best to keep stress completely out of the wedding plans. We're so glad you enjoyed our venue, it was a pleasure hosting your wedding!

    Magical perfection!

    Literally perfection. We booked Terrapin for our wedding weekend. My husband’s groomsmen spent the night out there before the wedding, and everyone (including many of our out of town guests) camped, brought RVs/campers, and/or slept in the farmhouse and bunk cabins after the wedding. The chapel stage was absolutely perfect for our ceremony, and we held our reception at the pavilion. Everyone raved about the bonfire, and our friends Restless Leg String Band played the reception. We danced ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Being able to bring in our own catering (with no limitations) and our own alcohol really helped our budget...and our guests benefitted from the open bar. Pete and Brenda were the most fabulous hosts, and were extremely accommodating and helpful every step of the way. If you are looking for a private, picturesque place to hold your wedding...please look no further.

    Terrapin Hill Farm's reply:

    Thank you, Katelyn, we enjoyed hosting your beautiful wedding! And I'm glad the weekend package worked out so well for you and your guests.

    Perfect Wedding Experience

    I loved our wedding at Terrapin Hill Farm! Pete and Brenda were the best hosts. Brenda is always quick to respond and was so helpful from the get go with planning and details. They really take the time to make your wedding day just how you picture it. They were both available to help with last minute details. They also have a ton of items on hand that you can use! The farm house was great! We had plenty of room and natural light for getting ready. Having access to refrigerators and ice during the reception was also a perk. The farm is absolutely beautiful. Pete & Brenda are some of the best people around and it was a pleasure to have them be a part of our special day! I definitely recommend this venue for any size wedding!!

    The Perfect Wedding

    My daughter found Terrapin Hill Farm and loved it. I was a bit concerned. It seemed a bit more rustic than I wanted. Man, was I wrong. It was absolutely perfect! The wedding site was absolutely beautiful. My daughter walking out of the woods to come down the aisle is a picture I’ll never get out of my head. You won’t get prettier pictures anywhere! The reception area, we had it under the pavilion, was perfect! We didn’t even have to go the next day to clean up. The staff was so helpful and made everything run smoothly! It was just the absolute best day!
