A perfect farm wedding venue

We recently had our wedding here - we did a multi-day event and everything turned out perfect!! The venue was gorgeous and Pete & Brenda were lovely to work with. I especially loved the bonfire.

A Magical Weekend

The grooms live in Washington DC, the respective families live in Norfolk VA and Omaha Nebraska, so the 1/2 way point for both families to get to by driving was Lexington KY. Collin and Nate visited Terrapin Hill Farm in the fall of 2022 to check it out as a wedding venue. They loved the feel and beauty of the farm and soon booked the venue for their June 2024 wedding. The owners, Brenda and Pete, were so welcoming to the boys & both families. The rehearsal dinner, as well as the wedding, was hosted at the farm and Brenda was so attentive to my many long distance emails & texts with a million questions and my quick visit to May to finalize rehearsal plans. She met the caterer and I at the farm to make sure the rehearsal celebration would be as comfortable and relaxed as the wedding. They were so helpful in setting up the tables around the farmhouse area and made sure the grounds were mowed and manicured, bonfires ready to light, for the wedding and rehearsal dinner events. This venue is a perfect venue for a rustic, outdoor event and Pete and Brenda truly love sharing their farm for events like ours. If you are looking for a unique and magical place for a joyful event, Terrapin Hill Farm is the place!

Lovely Rainy Sunday Wedding

Pete and Brenda are wonderful people to work with, and they have created such a unique venue with Terrapin Hill Farm. They both were a pleasure to work with, and offered great suggestions of local vendors that frequented their venue in the past. The site itself had wonderful accommodations for changing rooms, bar area, and the reception area. Without question, we are very happy to have gotten the opportunity to have our wedding at Terrapin.

Hi! I'm Brenda, co-owner of Terrapin Hill Farm. When you first contact us I'll be the one you'll be talking to. You'll get to meet me when you come visit and take a tour, and I'll answer all your questions throughout the planning process. I handle all the paperwork, emails, payments, etc. If you choose to, you can hire me to be your day-of wedding coordinator, in which case I'll help you plan out your day and make sure it all works out as planned.

I love hosting weddings at our farm because they are such happy occasions. It's an honor to help a couple bring their dreams into reality, and it's also an honor to share our beautiful farm with others.

I think one of our best attributes as a venue (besides being gorgeous) is our flexibility. We have very few rules and will do our best to help you make your wedding a reflection of who you are as a couple.

The most common reason people choose our venue? "We're outdoorsy-type people and we just want something simple, relaxed, and fun". We've got that covered!

The best compliment is when I hear a guest say "this is the best wedding I've ever been to". Our goal is to make everyone - the bride and groom and all their guests - feel comfortable so they can have a good time and enjoy the special day.

Hey there - I'm Pete, co-owner of Terrapin Hill Farm. My job is to keep the venue beautiful and build things. I built all the structures in the venue, including the pavilion, chapel stage, general store, the arches, and more. I also help out with set up and tear down, moving benches, chairs and tables, and building and lighting the bonfires. I'm an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church and can legally officiate any wedding.

My favorite part about hosting weddings is helping to make the couples happy and relaxed on their special day. Whether I'm behind the scenes or up front officiating, I'll do my best to make the day an easy, fun, low stress celebration.

One of the best parts of our venue is that it's easy to get to, but located far from the road so it's very private - once you're here you'll feel like the rest of the world is miles away. The handbuilt structures make our venue very unique, simple, and elegant.

Couples choose our venue because they feel comfortable and can be creative. You can choose your own caterer and whether or not you want a bar, and the option to stay overnight is a huge plus.

I appreciate it when people mention how beautiful the farm is. Even though the land itself is gorgeous, it does take effort to keep it all maintained. "Magical" is a word often used to describe Terrapin Hill Farm.
