Wedding Of Our Dreams!

Our wedding at Hopkins Heartland the “Honey Bee” venue was a dream come true! From the moment we completed our first tour we knew this was the place we wanted to get married at. From start to finish there was not a moment a staff member was not there to help, from the simplest questions that came up throughout our planning process as well as all throughout the wedding day! This venue offers so much, from the beautiful farmland views to the little peaceful areas to kind of tuck away for a few. I would recommend this venue to anyone couple who is interested in small town rustic vibes. We were able to create memories that will last FOREVER!!

Hopkins Heartland is absolutely incredible! From start to finish- it was the best weekend of my life. The venue is beautiful. The staff is exceptional! They made my husband and I and our wedding party feel right at home. They were helpful, kept everything running smoothly and calmed me down during every stressful moment. I cannot recommend this venue enough. I never wanted to leave! They made my day and weekend so special. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved this venue!

Great venue!!!

We had our wedding here in July and it was PERFECT!!!! The venue is the perfect mix of beauty and charm, and the staff is so professional and nice. They helped me organize our day in advance, down to every detail, and were amazing during the execution on the day of. Everyone RAVED about our venue!!! We highly recommend The Honey Bee Barn, and the staff of Hopkins Heartland for anyone looking for the perfect venue for their smaller wedding… if you’re having a larger wedding they have another venue down the street that is also beautiful and has the same staff.

Dream wedding!

My daughter’s wedding at Hopkins Heartland was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we walked in on Thursday to when we left on Sunday everything was perfect! Katie, the innkeeper, was a dream and couldn’t be more helpful. Corrine was amazing and helped us every step of the wedding planning with vendor recommendations as well as day of coordinating. The venue staff the day of the wedding was excellent and so attentive to anything we needed. The barn and milking room were beautiful as well as the patio for cocktail hour. We had the rehearsal dinner in the milking room the night before and it was absolutely gorgeous! We got so many compliments from our guests about Hopkins and how beautiful it was! It truly was an amazing weekend and everything my daughter and son in law dreamed about.

Best venue!

Hopkins Heartland was our dream venue, and lived up to every expectation we had. The team at Hopkins Heartland ensured everything ran smoothly and fit my husband and I’s vision. The three night stay in the beautiful farm houses served as a chance to connect and make memories with our bridal party before our big day. From the charming patio with a fire pit and lights, to the stunning covered bridge and huge reception barn, Hopkins Heartlands property is breathtaking, and something our guests talk about to this day. If you’re looking for a beautiful farm venue with an incredible and responsive team, Hopkins Heartland is the place for you! Thank you again for making our special day everything we dreamed of and more.

The Covered Bridge at Hopkins Heartland was the perfect wedding venue. Both our families fell in love with it the moment they saw it. Corrine, Ingrid, Katie and the entire staff were the best. They care so much about giving you the perfect wedding weekend and are so organized and accommodating.

The BEST wedding venue 🥰

Hopkins Heartland (Covered Bridge) was the PERFECT choice for our November wedding. Every staff member was amazing to work with (from coordinating and planning to day of service), and the venue was stunning. We rented for the whole wedding weekend which was extremely nice. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner on site the night before, had a space for our bridal party to spend the night afterwards with us the night before the wedding, and could wake up/roll out of bed to get ready all on site. It even made clean up on Sunday easier to know that we had no time constraints on when we had to exit the venue.

We would highly recommend selecting Hopkins Heartland for your wedding venue if you are looking for a wedding venue with staff that cares and a venue that is breathtaking regardless of what you add to it. 😊
