Our enchanting Hemlock Grove Ceremony site is the perfect setting for your outdoor wedding. Mature magnolias and hemlocks allow just enough dappled sunlight for a natural filter for photographs and comfortable shade for your guests.

Have your wedding here!!

Hemlock Springs is such a beautiful venue to have your wedding and reception at! We opted for the all inclusive elopement package and it was perfect for the small wedding we envisioned! The ceremony site is tucked away within lots of beautiful trees, making the absolute best background for your special day. My husband and I are so glad we decided on Hemlock Springs. Everything went perfectly and the staff is so kind and welcoming. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would!

Stress-free vendor to make your day perfect

Are you stressed enough and looking for a stress-free environment to have your wedding? Well congratulations- you’ve found the perfect venue and owners! Are you looking for a secluded, unique, and stunning wedding venue? Elizabeth and her team work hard to ensure you have the BEST day possible. I chose a package where her team designed my wedding and handled day-of coordination - the BEST decision I’ve ever made. They have a storage area of gorgeous pieces to help decorate your wedding and bring your visions to life. It can be as elegant or as rustic as you want - or a blend of both! The men’s lounge area was perfect for the boys and my son to entertain them while they got ready. The bridal sweet has so much natural light and has everything you could need while getting ready. The venue staff worked HARD to make our dreams come true. The wooded area for the ceremony & the on-site reception area were STUNNING but my most favorite element were the vintage China guests we used. It seriously was like a fairy tale wedding. Also, the venue has a 3 bedroom house seconds from the venue that you can rent (perfect for bride and groom). I cannot speak highly enough of Elizabeth for her punctuality, kindness and her professionalism. She truly does everything she can to ensure you have the best, most stress-free day possible. If that sounds like something you’re looking for, then contact her right now.

Unmatched quality

I cannot say enough good things about Hemlock Springs! The venue itself is gorgeous and unique and the staff are phenomenal. We live about two hours away from the venue, so most of our planning was done remotely, and everything went beautifully thanks to Hemlock Spring’s communication. We got married here on 11/6/2021 and worked with Ann Marie throughout the year beforehand to plan everything. Ann Marie, Liz, and the rest of the staff at Hemlock are so kind and helpful and go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. On the day of our wedding everything was set up exactly how we had envisioned and we didn’t have to stress at all. They were there for everything we needed on the day of and throughout the whole planning process. If we could get married here all over again we would!

Outstanding

Liz & Skip have poured their heart and soul into creating this venue. it shows in every are of their property from the thoughtful handmade wooden decorative signs, to the perfect lighting found throughout every location, to the endless options Liz and Holly provide at making your day so uniquely yours. Nathan and I had the best experience and cannot reccomend them enough. They truly made our wedding the most unique and beautiful day. I have worked with venues in the past, as a wedding photographer myself, who have been picky and difficult to meeting the clients desires and not just their own desires as a venue. Liz & Skip & Holly work to guide you in the direction of the best decisions while also honoring your unique style and vision. We LOVE them!

Highly recommend

Absolutely breathtaking venue! With spectacular owners. Not only is it stunningly beautiful, full of hand crafted details, but Skip and Liz also go above and beyond to be accommodating and available for their brides. Their staff works hard and is so talented. I truly cannot say enough good things about Skip and Liz, or about Hemlock Springs.

Stunningly Beautiful Venue with the Most Helpful and Kind Team!

Hemlock Springs is a stunningly beautiful venue! It is magical!!! My husband and I had viewed photos of the space online for months and were already in love with it, but when we toured it in person for the first time, we were blown away by its beauty. We instantly knew it's where we would be married. It was exactly what we were looking for - an elegant space that enhances and celebrates its natural surroundings without sacrificing comfort. The ceremony space is tucked away in a forest grove. Walking down the aisle with the canopy of trees overhead and trees on all sides was dreamy. The reception space is equally amazing! The natural wood elements mixed with the beauty of the chandelier lighting and draping make for such an elegant space. And there's nothing quite like having the barn doors open, looking out over the mountainous vistas and night sky, and dancing the night away! Also, the large veranda was perfect for cocktail hour and a great space for our guests to mingle after the ceremony and before dinner. Hemlock Springs is beautiful, but what really makes it special is its amazing, dedicated team. The owners, Liz and Skip, are so kind and attentive, and we always felt like they were in tune with us. Even more so, we felt like they really, genuinely wanted us to have the most special and best wedding. And to that end, they (and their entire team) went above and beyond over and over again to ensure our wedding day was a success. We cannot thank them enough for all their kindness and hospitality!

Absolutely the MOST beautiful venue I have ever been to. The ceremony site in the middle of the trees/woods, the views overlooking the Red River Gorge ridge line, the amazing barn and reception areas... I can go on and on! The owners, Liz & Skip, are some of the nicest people we have ever met, who clearly have a passion and talent for what they do. They put so much thought into making our day as personalized as we are, and went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Their father even handmade all of the gorgeous wooden harvest tables that we had the pleasure of using for our reception! We could not have picked a more perfect venue to celebrate our wedding and are so grateful to have found this amazing place.

This place is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Located near Natural Bridge, this venue offers breathtaking views overlooking the nearby valleys. We knew we wanted to have our wedding here within the first few minutes of touring it. Even the backup ceremony site (in case of rain) looks amazing. Liz and Skip are some of the nicest people my fiancé and I have worked with and we can't recommend this place enough.
