The best venue, the best team, and the most perfect day!

If you want to have the best wedding day ever, book Gold Hill Gardens! It was the very first venue we toured, and it was the venue we kept coming back to. Outside of being a gorgeous venue with endless options to give you the most beautiful and personalized day, Katie was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient, answering all of my questions and even talking me off the ledge a few times when the stress of planning got to me! Katie was flexible and accommodating, adjusting to our needs and making sure everything was just right.
On the day of the wedding, Katie and her team were nothing short of amazing. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to just enjoy the day without any worries. The entire experience felt effortless, thanks to their hard work and attention to detail.

We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and we’re so glad we chose Gold Hill Gardens for our big day. It truly was perfect. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service. Thank you, Katie and team, for making our wedding day perfect!

Wedding Weekend

We were so excited when we found a Gold Hill Gardens in my hometown of Newcastle. It was the first venue we looked at and after meeting with Katie we knew that this was the one. Katie was super easy to work with and had such a nice fun but professional attitude. We stayed three nights at the B&B for the wedding which was such a fun experience. We had our rehearsal there and did fun things like have a permanent bracelet lady come by. They are very flexible and help set up tables and chairs for any little things that you have at the venue before your wedding. Having their decor closet to choose from saved us hundreds. It was great getting ready at the venue as well in their bridal suite. It is huge and has a beautiful outdoor terrace as well, we easily fit 10 people in there and had a great time and it was also nice being right next door to my room. The boys had the whole property but also got ready in the groom's den and took photos in there as well. It's a super cute wooden den by the pool. We did our cocktail hour on the new deck by the pool which was a hit with our guests, and had an amazing reception under their tent. We got married by the big oak tree which was nice because we didn't have to use a lot of flowers. Overall we had the best experience and our guests keep raving about the venue and everyone that worked there. Thank you so much Gold Hill Gardens for welcoming us and making our wedding week something that we will remember forever.

Amazing!!!

My husband and I got married here in the fall of 2022 and fell in love right away. We didn’t even need to tour another place we knew this was the one. The fall colors are absolutely stunning! A year later we were able to throw our baby shower here which was so special for us to celebrate our anniversary and our growing family at such a beautiful venue. Everything about this venue is above and beyond especially Katie who responds super fast and is so sweet! Gold Hill Gardens will always have a special place in our hearts.

Gorgeous place for a Wedding!!

We chose this venue because it is right across the road from our house, but it is so much more. Beautiful grounds, great parking, perfect set up for the ceremony and reception as well as great spaces for the bridal party to get ready before the wedding. They have golf carts for transporting any of the guests, but its especially helpful for those with mobility challnges. Would most definately recommend Gold HIll to anyone planning any kind of event, not just weddings.

Most beautiful venue ever!

Gold Hill Gardens was the perfect spot for our daughter’s wedding two weeks ago! A hidden gem, so beautiful it takes your breath away! You can choose from several spots for your ceremony. The trees, the flowers, the heart shaped rocks, only accent the beauty of this venue. Our guests absolutely loved it. The owners, Mike and Cindy are the best!! Mike would always answer my questions in a timely manner and when the day finally arrived, he was hands on in every detail to make it the wedding of our dreams! Our two families also rented the beautiful inn for the entire weekend, which just added to our wonderful memories and special moments together! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drop dead gorgeous venue! You will not be disappointed!!

This is an amazing venue - hands down the best bang for your buck. You will not find a kinder couple than Mike & Cindy. They are thoughtful and courteous, but most importantly they will treat every person that walks onto their property with the respect that they deserve. They take the time to talk with you and are so quick to respond to phone calls and emails. They really want your day to be special and they make that clear from the moment they greet you. Their home is going through the most amazing renovation with a bridal suite that will dazzle any bride to be. The views around the property are gorgeous - this will have your guest talking for years to come! There is plenty of room for large gatherings; everyone is bound to have fun at this venue. And did I mention the price.... WOW, just WOW! They offer so much for such a reasonable price. I know my finance and I made the best decision booking this place for our wedding ceremony and reception. We have zero regrets and we cannot wait to start our lives at Gold Hills Gardens.

We had the most wonderful experience. Through the whole process leading up to the wedding Mike and Cindy were fantastic. The venue is so beautiful and the bed and breakfast was perfect. All the vendors loved working with them. Mike and Cindy helped our special day go off without a hitch. Thank you!

Great Venue- not pleased with their Vender list

The venue was beautiful and the staff did pretty well on making our da. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with their recommended wedding day coordinator, Ramona from Simple Country Weddings. Ramona is very passive aggressive and was awful at coordinating on our big day. There was minimal organization effort from her on our wedding day which required family and friends to help out a lot. Truly she was such a bummer!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
