Whatever it takes

We planned our wedding with rural hill over the course of 9 months. They were so friendly and wanted to know everything we had in mind for our wedding. They are so kind and did everything they could to make our day special. We had to change our ceremony site at the last minute and the staff were very accommodating. The property is so beautiful. We had a simple and intimate ceremony and used the venue on the property for a dinner. Everything provided directly by the venue was amazing and we really feel like we got fantastic service and it fit our budget well.

Beautiful Place and great people

I absolutely loved working with the staff at Rural Hill for our wedding. It was such a beautiful place to have our wedding. We chose Rural Hill because of how beautiful it is and it’s somewhere we have been going for many years in the fall for the Amazing Maze Maze. We worked with two amazing people at Rural Hill to plan our wedding and they were both so absolutely sweet and wanted to do everything they could to make our dream a reality. Towards the end of planning we were only working with Nicole and she helped make sure our wedding day ran well. I absolutely enjoyed planning my wedding with Rural Hill and if you are thinking about hosting your wedding at Rural Hill you will not be disappointed and Nicole will be great to work with!

The management team at Historic Rural Hills is top notch. Lauren is very easy to work with, is patient and is sincerely kind. It is wonderful to work in a venue that is very well taken care of and they show a genuine concern for their clients special event. I love the kitchen area at Rural Hills. For me it met our needs as a caterer coming in to hold and serve our clients ,menu selections for their event. I have worked in many Venues and knowing I would go back to Rural Hills eases my mind. It is a gorgeous place and I myself would love to hold a private event there one day. It is so important that vendors work well together in a venue. At Rural Hills they are just as professional and kind to us as they were to their clients and I thank them for that! Especially Lauren! I look forward to working with you all again soon! Keep doing what you are doing! All my best, Chef Tara
