History

The old farmhouse was originally built in 1750 and has been in the Alphin family for over ten generations. Their family-run business evolved as an ingenious way to continue the farming tradition. By turning their functioning cattle farm into a wedding venue, they are able to keep working the land while sharing its rural beauty with others.

Wedding of our dreams here!

My husband and I had the wedding weekend of our dreams here! Ian & his family were incredibly easy to work with and so flexible/ willing to accommodate our ideas. The property and guest house are beyond stunning. Couldn't recommend Rillhurst enough!

Absolutely magical venue and experience!

We loved working with Rillhurst Farms and would recommend them to everyone! What you’re getting is a venue you hardly need to dress up at all. It IS the aesthetic in its natural state, and if you get a package where you can stay the night before, the rehearsal dinner can also be hosted there, so the entire weekend is in one place.

After our initial tour, we both felt like we’d stumbled upon a hidden gem. Ian was so accommodating with our various requests, tours, and problem solving to help us figure out exactly what we were looking for. We loved the relaxed energy of everyone we worked with. The actual wedding weekend was absolutely beautiful, and everyone we talked to commented on how magical and fairy-tale like the location was. We stayed overnight the night before the wedding with the whole bridal party and had the rehearsal dinner on the deck. They even offered a parking attendant to help facilitate the wedding day.

You get access to the entire venue, so we had a lakeside ceremony, cocktail hour in the yard, and the reception in the barn, and took family photos across the lake. Everything went absolutely smoothly.

We seriously could not recommend this higher! You will not regret it.

Wonderful!

We are so incredibly grateful and happy that we chose Rillhurst Farm as our venue. Our wedding day felt perfect to us. Lanie and Ian were our main contacts and they were just amazing. They were helpful, welcoming, and accommodating every step of the way. Ian gave us a great tour of the farm and very thorough walk through two weeks before with our vendors. We really appreciated that we never felt rushed or pushed at any step of the way. He was also just a text away the entire weekend and helped us with any issues we had, like figuring out where the trash goes or having a gate opened. And every time I emailed Lanie (and I did so many times with random questions) she answered back so quickly and helped me with whatever I needed. I really appreciated that I could count on them. My family rented the manor house for the wedding weekend and our stay was so comfortable and luxurious. The house has historic charm but also the modern fittings of a fancy hotel. Every window has a picturesque view. If you have your wedding at Rillhurst, please do yourself a favor and stay at the house. Our actual wedding day felt like a dream. The chairs and tables were set up perfectly for our florist and event planner. Our ceremony was during golden hour by the lake with a background chorus of frogs and birds singing, which we loved. The reception was in the barn and it looked so pretty with the hanging lights they have set up in the rafters. We rented a bathroom trailer which was very useful because it was close to the barn. It does get very dark at night so we loved that our guests didn't have to walk far to use it. Overall we had an amazing experience at Rillhurst and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have an intimate, scenic wedding. Thank you to the amazing team at Rillhurst!
