Thank you windy hill!

We are so happy we chose Windy Hill for host our wedding! The property is absolutely enchanting, we fell in love on our first visit. It was the first and only venue we toured and we knew right then and there it was the one.

Chiara took amazing care of us and we cannot thank her enough for her hospitality and kindness during the planning process.
We ended up having to postpone our wedding due to the COVID-19 surges last fall and windy hill was incredibly understanding and patient.
1 month before our original wedding date was going to pass, Chiara reached out to us and offered the farm to us and our immediate family to have a small ceremony on our original wedding date at no additional charge. We were stunned by this incredibly kind gesture and gladly accepted. Windy Hill allowed us to have two weddings for the price of one during one of the scariest and hardest times we have lived through together.

1 Year later, we finally were able to have our big ceremony! We had quite a few bumps in the road including my now husband breaking his leg 1 month before the wedding. Chiara made sure he was comfortable during the day by using the golf cart to help transport him where he needed to go and it all went wonderfully. We stayed in the honeymoon suite that night which was so charming and lovely. Chiara made us the most delicious breakfast that next morning and took great care of us. Frittata, bacon, sourdough, fruit, and coffee...yum. An excellent end to a beautiful weekend!

Chiara is truly one of the kindest souls we've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with and we HIGHLY recommend Windy Hill to any couples out there who want an outdoor wedding.

Thank you Chiara and the Windy Hill family!!!

Love Chiara & Windy Hill Farm

We are so thankful to have found Windy Hill Farm for our wedding ceremony & reception! Chiara made every venue visit and conversation so seamless for us. They were so accommodating with us wanting our husky part of our wedding day - it made our day even more special. The renovated bridal suite and grooms suite are so beautiful, y'all did an amazing job with creating those spaces! We loved everything about our wedding day at Windy Hill Farm!

Beautiful, Rustic Wedding Venue

Windy Hill Farm was such a lovely place to get married. The family who owns it is absolutely wonderful to work with -- they were really easy to communicate with, offered us extra opportunities to visit the site, and were constantly making upgrades to the space. Every touch is really thoughtful, and our guests really enjoyed themselves at the farm.

The event barn is somehow both spacious and intimate, and was the perfect size for our wedding (about 95 people) dinner and dancing. We loved being able to have the ceremony outside nestled between the farmhouse and a giant old tree. Everyone enjoyed visiting with the goats, and the view from the barn at sunset was gorgeous. We stayed the night in the honeymoon suite in the farmhouse, and were treated to a delicious breakfast the next day.

Perfect wedding reception venue!

Perfect place for a wedding reception! We held a casual, mid-day wedding celebration and everything about the venue was perfect. It's a beautiful location close to Hillsborough and the rest of the Triangle; easy for guests to find and get to! The farm is perfect and feels like a mini-retreat. The venue is beautiful and easy to decorate to your tastes - perfect for an outdoor event. Chiara and her family go out of their way to make sure the event is exactly what you want and goes flawlessly. She's a joy to work with! The many add-ons they offer are also great for tailoring the event to your needs - we purchased goat soaps for favors and everyone loved them. Would absolutely recommend Windy Hill for any event you're planning!

Windy Hill is heaven!

If you are looking for a farm wedding venue, don't pass up the chance to get married here. Windy Hill was everything we could have dreamed of. My husband and I were looking to have a fairly low-key outdoor ceremony and reception, and working with Windy Hill was amazing. The property is gorgeous with lots of open land and scenery, goats galore, plus a beautiful event barn with tables/seating and lighting, to decorate as much or as little as you wish. And even more remarkable are the Gledhills - such a wonderful family who really made our experience that much better. Chiara is an angel - absolutely any questions or requests that I had were met with an enthusiastic and encouraging reply. We really appreciated that the farm was dedicated to helping out with our goal of being eco-friendly, even composting our goods for us. Would also highly recommend the goat soap favors! Thank you Windy Hill!

Windy hill was perfect

This venue, the farmhouse, the owners, and even the animals were all such perfect players in the wedding of my dreams. I knew I wanted a farm wedding, and Windy Hill checked all of my boxes. Not only that, but their cozy style and beautiful home added just the right touches. Also, there was a hurricane the week of my wedding and nothing phased them. Everything was amazing and I could not have asked for a better venue.

The best team at the most heart-filled venue

Windy Hill Farm was the most special, perfect place to have our June 2022 wedding. rom the first moments we stepped foot at Windy Hill in 2020 we knew it would be such a special place to celebrate our love with our community, and with each visit, that feeling grew. That's not just because the farm is beautiful and welcoming (it is!) but also because of how kind and inviting Chiara and her team are. They were wonderful to work with, and their support and care made our day and the whole planning process easy, and smooth, and full of joy. We're so grateful to the kind folks at Windy Hill for cultivating such a warm and heart-filled space and sharing it with others -- can't recommend having your wedding here enough!

beautiful farm, perfect venue

We could not have asked for a better venue than Windy Hill Farm. From the old farmhouse to the fields of goats and cows, to the beautifully lit event barn, it was everything we could have asked for. The scenery was the perfect backdrop to our little celebration. The owners are just as beautiful as the farm, welcoming us to the property and helping make our day as easy as possible. Chiara was so helpful and did the best she could to accommodate our many requests. We are so grateful to have had our wedding here. It was absolutely the perfect place!

Absolute perfection!

Our wedding at Windy Hill couldn't have been more perfect! Chiara is the sweetest and from the very start was super informative and helpful to make sure that our wedding day we going to be perfect. The venue itself is just so beautiful--from the lovely fields and trees, to the awesome pavilion, the twinkling lights, the baby goats, and the cozy farmhouse (and breakfast!) for our wedding night/morning--we were so thrilled to have chosen Windy Hill. Thanks so much for everything! :)

Could not recommend more!

Windy Hill was everything and more we could have dreamed of for our wedding. The setting is of course beautiful, but that only scratches the surface: the flexibility and kindness and patience that Chiara and her family gave to you us bride and groom is second to none. We felt so at home and able to really make our dreams come to life! Could not recommend Windy Hill more!
