Fairytale Wedding

There are no words to truly express how much we appreciate the owners Jessica and Rick Hayes, their family and staff at the Hitching Post at Covenant Farm. Our son Ethan and his bride Kaylee were married there in May and had the reception afterward. The owners and staff are wonderful people.
The bride and groom were engaged in December and wanted to get married in May on the 4 year anniversary of meeting. Planning a wedding in less than 6 months can be really challenging but everything was beautiful and Ethan and Kaylee are living their own "happily every after".
We looked at a few venues and when we walked into the Hitching Post Venue, they both knew it was where they wanted to "tie the knot".
Kaylee's favorite fairy tale is Rapunzel and so we even had Rapunzel and Flynn as the wedding cake topper. Jessica had a HUGE surprise for Kaylee and Ethan. They have a horse trainer who owns a white horse and his name is MAXIMUS. So the owner of the horse and their daughter bathed and groomed MAX so he could meet Kaylee.
Can you imagine her surprise to have a real Maximus at her wedding. They roped off an area behind the trees where Ethan and Kaylee got married and Max was in the background during the ceremony. They were able to get photos with Max too. This meant so much to me, that they would be so thoughtful and truly make this the fairytale wedding for my daughter-in-law who we love so much.
The other thing which I think is so important is that Jessica made sure to let the bride and groom make decisions about their wedding so it was "their wedding".
She also allowed us to use decorations they have at the venue which was a huge financial help. We had the rehearsal and dinner there too, the night before the wedding. Their photographer Tina (T&E Photography 21 LLC) met with Jessica to tour the venue in advance to discuss where the photos would be taken. One note: Make sure to tell guests to use the "Hitching Post at Covenant Farm" directions since there are other venues with the hitching post in the name.

Excellent!

We hosted our daughter and son-in- love’s wedding reception at the Hitching Post @ Covenant Farm in March 2025. We enjoyed a wonderful experience from our first visit there to our last moment on the property. EVERYTHING was beautiful and went well. The owners were very personable and caring to our wants and wishes. They went out of their way to make sure special touches were made available! Communication was very open and responsive in a timely manner. The outside was beautifully maintained, well lit, and provided plenty of parking area. The inside layout offered lots of open space to create the setting we wanted for dining and dancing. The kitchen and facilities were all very clean and accommodating to our needs. Our guests were in awe of this beautiful venue! The owners were truly thoughtful and helpful! Hitching Post @ Covenant Farm was the perfect venue for us!

They were always there when we needed them, and it felt like they truly cared about making our reception perfect.
