Spectacular staff and Elegant countryside venue.

My daughter and I came to this venue after visiting many but after talking to Ashley we knew we had found the perfect place. She was easy to talk to, was willing to make my daughter's wedding dreams come to life, and she was just as excited for the day as my daughter was (It is clear she loves what she does). Instantly felt like she was a friend of the family. The backdrop to this venue is stunning with rolling, well-manicured fields and a pond enhanced by sunrises and sunsets. Like a romance novel come to life. The barn is the perfect place to join families together, create memories, and find peace in a hectic day. Ashley gives her brides the opportunity to plan and practice with special "venue practice" days. So helpful and she has so many decor items for brides to use from their warehouse (which is included). But she allows brides to bring whatever is in their vision. The bridal suite is dreamy, roomy, and you can tell Ashley knows what the bride will need. The furniture and chandeliers are so elegant for pictures. The groom's suite was the perfect masculine vibe with a pool table and access to gaming fun... again so much attention to details. Even the restrooms are on trend and very clean.
Amazing venue, the sweetest staff that work hard from beginning to end, and Ashley was there to calm the nerves while attending to anything we needed. She is the absolute BEST! Go has given her a gift and it is seen in her mission at Emerald Hill. You should check this place out for your wedding or special event... it truly is a sight to experience. The price is affordable and fair for all that is included. I am so glad my daughter found and chose this place for her special day. Whether your wedding is inside or outside, The Emerald Hill venue, the staff and the owner, Ashley will not disappoint.

The Best Barn Wedding

Ashley and her team were awesome to work with and answered any and all questions I had about my big day. I love that they have decor and rentals available for use but that you can also opt out of it. I really liked that venue gave us the outline and allowed us to create our own dream day. Rain or Shine;)

Great all around venue

From the first time we visited The Emerald Hill for a wedding social, to the time we left our daughters wedding, I was impressed with Ashely and her team for their professionalism, attention to detail and their willingness to help out in whatever area needed. We met with Ashely twice, told her what our vision was, and she executed our ideas perfectly. If you are looking for high quality ata reasonable budget, I would highly recommend The Emerald Hill.

Wedding ceremony and reception.

The grounds at Emerald Hill are absolutely amazing! The buildings are done beautifully, especially the suites. All of the staff were very friendly, but they also did a great at "being invisible". They were able to have everything done beautifully and on time without being noticed.

Beautiful Venue with extras at a great value!

From the moment we stepped onto The Emerald Hill Property and the beautifully maintained grounds surrounding it, to the moment we signed our contract, they separated themselves from any other venue we looked at. Ashley has a passion that shines and is so helpful with all the planning and details! The Emerald Hill offering the mix-matched china, silverware, goblets and decor in the package saved us thousands of dollars and lots of headaches since we didn't have to deal with another vendor to get these items and then arrange to get them all back to the vendor. We were also able to hire extra staff that they recommended and arranged for us to help with serving the food. beverages, cutting the cake and gathering plates at the end of the night. The staff was wonderful and worth every penny to again make the day go smoothly and remove any stress! All of our guest went on and own about the venue and how beautiful it was and how much they enjoyed it! We are so thankful we trusted The Emerald Hill with our special day and we could not have asked for more!

My fiancee and I toured The Emerald Hill recently and I fell in love with the venue from the first look! The rolling hills behind the barn are amazing and the pond is a nice contrast. The inside is even better! The barn has a high ceiling and open floor plan with an awesome chandelier in the middle. And it doesn't feel closed in like some of the barns we've toured - they have three sets of French doors that open to the hills and pond. As if that wasn't enough, they have private suites for us to get ready in! Ashley was fantastic and took time to answer all of our questions and walk through some of our ideas with us. I can't wait to get married here!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
