About

Out in Bloomington, Indiana, Whippoorwill Hill is an event venue that’s set on a 130-acre secluded farm that boasts historic architecture. This rustic, vintage venue is busiest from April through November, and plays host to receptions, ceremonies, bridal showers, and engagement parties. On the day of your event, Whippoorwill Hill will have a rep on-site should you need anything.

Facilities and Capacity
The two-story wedding barn (also known as Russell Barn) was originally built in 1892. More recently it was renovated and may accommodate up to 300 people. Overall, your setting options at the working farm are indoor, uncovered outdoor, and covered outdoor spots; the wedding and reception sites are completely secluded. Whippoorwill Hill is not a facility with climate-control options; it’s recommended that couples rent portable temporary heaters in cooler months and opening the larger sliding doors during warmer times.

Services Offered
Among the offerings covered in your wedding package are the solid wood Chiavari chairs that complement the barn’s interior; you’ll get 220 standard American-made chairs come with ivory cushions and then 20 that are bar height for the pub tables. Tables and luxury restrooms are included in the price; these are just two items offered to couples, to hopefully make the event elegant and comfortable while also budget-friendly. Event rentals, liability insurance, lighting, sound and setup are among the event services. Other services include:

  • Aisle markers
  • Centerpieces
  • Chairs
  • Dance floor
  • Furniture
  • Lighting
  • Tables
  • Decor
  • Chair covers
  • Altar/arches


Location
With Whippoorwill Hill, you’ll have the best of both worlds: You’ll be on a secluded plot of land that’s also just six miles from the heart of downtown Bloomington, Indiana. You and your loved ones may also appreciate the close proximity to Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina at Lake Monroe. On-site, there’s parking, including ADA-compliant parking spots; it’s also a wheelchair-accessible location. The location, set away from the hubbub of city center, makes for a great backdrop for your photos; imagine standing with your sweetie and stealing a kiss just before sunset as your photographer snaps away.

    100% recommend!

    Wow, Whippoorwill Hill was fantastic! I absolutely loved working with Anne and her family! They are good people and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients! They do the "little things" that go a long way! They made the wedding planning process much better and I would 100% recommend working with them! Annnnd they have a beautiful venue that can accommodate indoor or outdoor settings! Plus, it was SO nice that they provide chairs, tables, and have a décor inventory that can be used! Thank you Whippoorwill Hill for being a part of my wedding day!

    Whippoorwill Hill's reply:

    Best wedding venue!

    I could go on and on about Whippoorwill Hill! From the minute we booked our wedding, Anne was such great help to us with anything we needed or any questions we had. The staff the day of the wedding helped saved the day due to the weather throwing our original ceremony plans off! Everything turned out perfectly because of all of their help and I’m forever grateful. The venue itself has so much charm, character, and is absolutely stunning. We got so many compliments from our guest! I would 100/100 recommend Whippoorwill Hill to anyone and so grateful we chose them for our big day ❤️

    Whippoorwill Hill's reply:

    Thank you so much for this super kind review, Cassie! We 100/100 enjoyed being a part of your day 😉 We remain honored that you chose us to be the background for your and Cody's wedding!
