Enclosed sides and gas heaters are available in case the weather proves unfavorable. The ample indoor grand hall can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests from November to April. Exposed beams, a generous fieldstone fireplace, and an impressive built-in oak bar will surely impress!

Best Choice We Made!

Choosing Fern Hill Barn as our venue was one of the best choices we made while wedding planning. The planning process went so smoothly and they were incredible professional. I loved the coordination team and they did so much on the day of to make it even more special. This venue and it's team really cares about the couple and make sure they have the best possible day. We cannot recommend them enough. We have received so many compliments on how 'fancy' everything was and how stunning the grounds were. We had absolutely no hiccups on our wedding day which was more than I could ever ask for from a venue.

Enchanting All Inclusive Experience

My husband and I got married here 7/26/25. I don’t even know where to begin. So many things to be said. I’ll start with that we have no regrets! We chose this venue based on its all inclusive customizable packages, indoor and outdoor options, and the fairytale vibes. It truly is an enchanting place! We chose the Elite Package, plus or minus a few things. My only complaint here is the flowers. Do NOT use their recommended vendor for anything else, Lady Bug florist was hard to work with and pretty stuck in her ways. She is very expensive and does not listen to what you want. She put mostly white in my bouquet and yellow, when I asked for peach, orange, and pink. I am mentioning her here because Fern Hill does lead you to believe you have any choices with your centerpieces through her and you do not. It is all cheap flowers like carnations...she also put red in these which, again was not my colors. In our package, the cold touch sparklers were taken from all packages for a good reason, a fire in California, and as we were very disappointed, we understood and were reimbursed and used that money towards late night snack instead. However, the white lawn chairs for our ceremony were included in our package and no one told us they got rid of them or reimbursed in anyway.

Now for the endless positives. First and foremost, Stacey! I cannot say enough about how amazing she was. Sad to never see her again haha. She is not only incredible at her job, but she is fun, understanding and proactive. I had a LOT of decor and a crazy book seating display and so much that could be overwhelming or done wrong and it was perfect!! She 100% was the best part of Fern Hill. I had an issue with my personal makeup artists arrival time last minute and was freaking out and she calmed me and made the impossible possible. Speaking of makeup…if you are hesitating on whether or not to use Kristen for hair and Taylor for makeup, just do it!!! They did amazing. So kind, talented, reasonable. Everyone loved their looks. Now to the food. The short rib and parmesan crusted chicken were SO GOOD! Everyone told us they loved the food. We had a crazy list of dietary restrictions. So many intolerances, allergies, vegans, vegetarians, you name it and everyone still loved their adjustments! The kitchen was flexible when someone informed us last minute of one.My husband and I do not like cake. We chose the white almond raspberry and people raved about it!! The bar staff was so nice and I love that they will make any custom drink if you bring the supplies. Jules, our captain, took such good care of us from start to finish. Making sure we always had food, drinks, felt comfortable with the timeline, everything. She was wonderful. The venue was great down to even packing it all up. Such a beautiful, happy place with top notch staff! Just want to note that this is my photographer and not the preferred vendor.

Absolutely Perfect from Start to Finish!

We could not have asked for a more magical wedding experience than what we had at Fern Hill Barn. From our very first visit, the customer service was truly outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely excited to make your day perfect.

One of the standout features is the wedding binder they provide—it was a total lifesaver throughout the planning process! It was full of helpful information and timelines that made everything feel organized and stress-free. They also checked in frequently in the months leading up to the big day, which made us feel supported and confident every step of the way.

On the day itself, they provided just the right amount of guidance to keep everything on track without it ever feeling rushed or rigid. They also checked in with us frequently but never intrusively, which made us feel cared for and allowed us to relax and be fully present in the moment.

The attention to detail was impeccable. From drinks waiting for us right after the ceremony (such a thoughtful touch!) to the special photo taken immediately after we said “I do” that was placed on our sweetheart table—it’s little moments like these that made the day feel so personal and unforgettable.

The venue itself is stunning, with a warm, rustic charm and gorgeous scenery that made for the perfect backdrop to our celebration. And the food? Absolutely amazing with tons of options for those with different dietary preferences—our guests are still raving about it!

If you’re looking for a venue that truly goes above and beyond, Fern Hill Barn is it. We are beyond grateful for the experience and memories they helped create. Highly, highly recommend!

A perfect wedding venue

My husband and I recently got married at Fern Hill Barn on October 26, 2024, and we had an amazing experience. The venue's magnificent setting exceeded our expectations. It was the most beautiful fall day, and the foliage was breathtaking. When we toured the venue with Allison we fell in love with the beautiful landscaping and the tents dance floor. We knew right away that it was the perfect place for us to get married. We booked the bridal suite to get ready in. It was a huge hit. The girls got ready on one side and the guys had the other. Kristen and her crew from the venues bridal spa exceeded all expectations for hair and make-up. I cannot say enough about how much we appreciated JoAnn the banquet captain. She was amazing, always right by our side with a happy smile willing to help in any way. She was fast with absolutely everything, including a quick emergency bustle right before intros lol!! She and her staff were VERY attentive to every single detail- from the cocktail hour setup to the centerpiece’s setup and beyond. You can tell when someone loves what they do, JoAnn truly loves her job and is an amazing asset to Fern Hills team. The entire banquet crew was top-notch, they were friendly and attentive to my guests’ needs. The food was delicious, and the presentation was impressive. We received many compliments from our guests on the quality of the food, service and how there was never a long line at the bar. Overall, we highly recommend Fern Hill to future couples. The venue's pricing was reasonable, and the experience was well worth it.

Wonderful place and wonderful people

We scheduled a tour to visit Fern Hill Barn, and from the start to the end, we had a wonderful time. Hannah took us on our tour and she was so kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. From the first few minutes of our tour we knew this was the place for us, and the team for us. The grounds were beautiful, and had everything we wanted. While we worked with Hannah the most, we also met with Carly and Alyson, who were both amazing also! Knowing these three ladies would be there to take us through every step of our wedding planning process, put our minds at ease and sold us on the venue. Once we had booked, they put together a binder for us, which Carly met with us to review. It was so detailed and helpful.
We were recommended to the venue by a friend, Ayla, who works there. She said so many good things about it that we decided to check it out, and thank goodness we did. Without her I don’t think we would’ve found our dream venue.

The perfect venue!

I have no words to express how grateful I am for the Fern Hill Barn events team. I'm not even going to talk particularly about each one because they were all exceptional from the first moment until the end. I started planning my wedding at the end of January and got married at the end of April so I chose a venue that would help me plan everything and that had some things included. During this period of delay, the team did so many things for me that I was sometimes left doing nothing. Their dedication, joy and good humor is incredible. On my wedding day the officiant was late, I took what they offered out of the package because I wanted my ceremony in Portuguese. They were so nice to me planning everything, keeping me calm and informed. The team that served the food at the party were very happy, always smiling. The venue is simply beautiful! All my guests spoke very highly of the place and the food. Thank you so much Fern Hill Barn team, you made the most important day of my life even more important!

Amazing staff

We got to meet with Carly for our tour and she was an absolute ray of sunshine and really clicked with us. She was so ready to make several quotes for us to experiment with all of the options the venue had to offer. She also went out of her way to call us a week or two later to check in. At that point my fiancé and I had already decided on the venue but needed another couple weeks to make the down deposit and she was able to come up with a flexible plan for us to have exactly that time frame we needed financially but still lock in our date so it wouldn’t be taken from us. We couldn’t thank her enough for making that call to keep our date.

Later we had a meeting with Alyson for picking up our planning binder and she was very knowledgeable! She was patient with our questions, let us walk away and enjoy the venue for a moment as we thought of anymore questions and everything was able to be answered. She helped guide us through what to expect in terms of timeline and feel really confident.

Both of them have shown us nothing but warm welcomes and being in our corner throughout the whole process, and as a lesbian couple, we didn’t feel the same with a lot of the other venues we toured. They know what they’re doing, clearly passionate about the same little details we are and it makes the whole process feel like we’re a well oiled team. We couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to be able to stop by again soon for other appointments.

Perfect venue for us

We can't say enough about our incredible vendor team. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of our wedding. Our vendors were communicative, knowledgable, and highly reliable. Zukas was the perfect choice for us - you cannot beat the value this venue delivers. We worked with Alsyon on every detail and she made the wedding truly so easy for us. She truly met every single request and was highly communicative and flexible throughout the process. She even accommodated a few changes the week of. The food was amazing, the bar tenders were fantastic, and the setting was just gorgeous. We are so grateful we went with Zukas and don't have a single regret.

Beautiful all inclusive venue with wonderful service and fabulous spa!

We had a fantastic experience hosting our wedding reception at Zukas. Alyson and her team are unmatched in professionalism, kindness, and organization. The site visits and tasting event allowed us to experience all the options we had for food, alcohol, decor and linens. Allyson had many great recommendations for trusted vendors and hotels. After the day of, we had many compliments about the food, wait staff, bartenders, grounds, etc.
A special thanks to Kristin and her team at the Zukas spa. They were incredible! Everyone was so happy with their looks. Kristin took extra time at the end of her work day to accommodate my busy schedule for a hair and makeup trial. She was very receptive to my needs and wants, and I highly recommend the spa team for all of your day-of beauty needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
