A dream Wedding with a view.

My son and daughter-in-law wedding at the barn in the hill, was nothing short of magical. The upscale barn created the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance, and the panoramic view surrounding the property took everyone’s breath away from golden hour to, every moment felt picture perfect. The staff was warm, professional and tentative making the entire day flow seamlessly we received several compliments from our guest about how beautiful and unique the space was. If you’re looking for a venue that feels intimate yet grand this is truly the dream location.

Outstanding venue, easy communication and process

I rented the venue for my daughters wedding on May 15, 2021. The process was very straightforward and the owner, Bill Luft, was exceptional to deal with. The location and views are spectacular, my daughter was very happy and the guests were impressed with the venue. Several of the guests requested information to rent the venue for upcoming weddings and events. Thanks to The Barn On The Hill for an amazing experience.

Perfect Weddng

Just had my daughters wedding there and it was absolutely perfect. Bill was very accommodating and had the grounds perfect for her day. It is the perfect place for a rustic wedding. Not a lot of pictures to post yet as the wedding was just 2 days ago.

Best Day of My Life!

Our wedding at Barn on a Hill was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful with a killer view. The barn itself is absolutely gorgeous and rustic. There’s an adorable getting ready area for the bride and a cute little shed for the groom! Bill (the owner) was an amazing host. He was so flexible and willing to work with us. He provided all the tables and chairs and allowed us to visit the barn multiple times and drop decor off. He was in contact when I needed him and really went the extra mile to make sure my wedding went smoothly! I was so happy with my wedding and we had the BEST time. I recommend Barn on a Hill to anyone who’s looking for a beautiful rustic wedding!

Wonderful!

The Barn on the Hill is the perfect location to have a wedding! It turned even better than I ever imagined it could. Bill was so easy to work with he got back to me in a timely matter about all my concerns and questions that I had, and I had a lot! I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married. The barn is so beautiful that it truly doesn't need much decorating! Overall 5 star doesn't do it justice, it deserves so much more!
