Total Pros at a Beautiful Spot!

We had our reception at Clay Hill after our ceremony at another location. We had 25 people and used their Veranda room, deck, and lawn. The space was absolutely perfect - so cute and plenty of room for our guests.

Rachel and her team were SO accommodating and were able to set up anything I asked for (lawn games, guest book, signs, etc.) so it all looked perfect when we came in! She was also super communicative and made planning easy and low-stress.

The food was also fantastic! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful and true professionals

Clay Hill Farm were my off-site consultants for my October 5th wedding in York at the Dockside working as both my officiant and offering event advice. I hadn’t realized how much stress I’d been holding until I met with them and left our meeting with all of the tension zapped out of me. They answered questions I hadn’t even thought of and problem solved issues that had been nagging me for months in less than an hour. Jen was wonderful as my officiant, keeping my husband and I relaxed while we were out of our comfort zones and sharing in our joy for the day. I couldn’t recommend them more – they have a complete understanding of the business side as well as the emotional toll the planning takes on the bride/groom and surrounding family. Our day was made all the more special/stress free due to their involvement.

Our wedding was uniquely "us" and Clay Hill guided us every step of the way!

We are so grateful that we chose Clay Hill for our wedding! Rachel, Jen, and the entire staff are kind, professional, and quick on their feet. Clay Hill is beautiful and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. My husband and I are in our twenties and we were largely funding our wedding ourselves, so staying within budget was a concern of ours. That being said, we did not have to sacrifice anything about what we envisioned with Rachel at the helm! She is so knowledgable and quick on her feet. It is hard to put into words just how happy we are to have been married at Clay Hill Farm.

Best Wedding Rehearsal!

We had our Rehearsal Luncheon at Clay Hill Farm and everything was fantastic! Because we had a rehearsal lunch rather than a dinner, the restaurant opened early just for us, and even allowed us to customize our menu (all of our guests are still raving about the food!). The atmosphere was so relaxed and warm, the staff was SO attentive, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Clay Hill Farm is amazing for any event!!

Dream Team!

Rachel and the entire team helped to make our wedding planning experience easy and fun! We had a blast at our October 12th ceremony and reception and everything went smoothly. Working with a group of experienced vendors that take pride in their work made the package an easy decision.

You won’t find better

Incredible place! Food was excellent, venue was beautiful, everything about this place was perfect. We planned from out of the area, and I could not have been easier. We chose their package that uses their suggested cake and dj vendors which made things SO much easier and efficient, they were also both awesome. You will not find a better value anywhere close to this or as nice in the area, we did a lot of searching. Thank you for an incredible day we will never forget! Will be back to visit for dinner!

Best wedding venue

We had our wedding June 8th at Clay Hill Farm and it was the best day of our lives!! Rachel helped us with all the planning leading to the wedding, she answered all our questions made sure everything was all set. Best part is the packages include almost everything you would need even a guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour!!! All the vendors they provided were amazing, they arranged everything with them. They truly made the whole wedding planning process so smooth and stress free. The entire staff, from waiters to bartenders were amazing.
The day was better then we could imagine, we got so many complements about the food and the venue. Clay hill was accommodating to our every need even at last min. We can’t wait to go back to enjoy the restaurant!!

Winter Wedding

We had a small, 40 person ceremony and reception in the Fireside room in January- it was amazing! Rachel and Jen were so easy to work with and made the planning process a breeze. They coordinated a pianist for our reception and even set everything up for us day-of, which was a nice surprise. It was the perfect winter wedding location and we can't say enough great things about the venue, staff and the food. All our guests had a fantastic time and we received so many compliments about the venue and how pretty and cozy it was for our celebration. Thank you to everyone at Clay Hill for making our wedding day absolutely wonderful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
