I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue, it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Brenda and Pete were so responsive, kind, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. They made everything feel easy and stress-free.
The venue itself exceeded every expectation we had. It was really important to me to have everyone together for the whole weekend, so I absoluetly loved all the different options for our guests to stay on site. I honestly could not have dreamed up a better place to celebrate our love. Everything was beautiful, seamless, and unforgettable. We are so grateful to Brenda and Pete for helping make our day perfect! -

Brenda and Pete were attentive, supportive, and made sure our day was perfect. Brenda served as our day of coordinator and Pete was our officiant. The property was beautiful and there were numerous locations to take our photos. All of our vendors raved about the property. Set up and tear down was a breeze thanks to Brenda’s guidance. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended and were in awe of the venue and how smoothly everything went. -

A Dreamy, Magical Venue
Terrapin Hill Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication with the owners was prompt, laid-back, and flexible - they were always available to answer our questions and accommodate our needs. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional. The space is absolutely perfect and full of options for whatever your needs may be. The owners were there to help with anything we needed on the day of the wedding - my mom and I even got to ride to the aisle in a vintage Cadillac! This venue was absolutely perfect for the wedding we wanted, as the ceremony spot was so beautiful on its own that no additional decoration was needed. Everyone onsite was kind and easygoing, which made for an stress-free wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. -

Paul Sent on 06/14/2025We loved Terrapin Hill Farm and you will too!
We had our wedding and reception at Terrapin Hill Farm and had a great and unforgettable experience there. We love nature and the outdoors and wanted to have an event that reflected those values – Terrapin Hill Farm was a great fit for us and Brenda and Pete made sure our event went smoothly from the planning stage through cleanup. The farm’s setting is rustic and serene while its handmade facilities, many from local wood, reveal skill and a unique personal touch.
The front house, a renovated and updated farm house, was a perfect get away space for the bride and groom and a number of close friends and family. It was within easy walking distance of the main event, but far enough way to serve as a private staging ground. The house has a back deck and views of horses in the field. It makes for an excellent small gathering space for family dinner the night before or just a place to sleep and/or relax.
The rain held off, so we had our ceremony outdoors at The Chapel stage, which is a large A-frame structure surrounded by trees on all sides. Pete drove us up to the end of the aisle in his old Cadillac, which made for quite an entrance! We planned in advance that if there was rain, we would hold the ceremony in the Pavilion.
The Pavilion has a concrete and tile floor with a closed roof. It also has plastic curtains if needed in case of rain. Our 120 guests, serving and event tables, and the stage for the band fit comfortably in this space. Brenda and Pete helped us plan our decorations and we chose tables covered in white cloth (although there are some nice tie-dyed tablecloths available as well!), serving tables, string lights, and a disco ball. It was a terrific setting after the ceremony. They have a collection of vases at the farm that made it easy for our florist to set up on site.
We used a nearby wooden cabin/shed for the bar. The event tent next to the bar provided space for snacks before the event and shade and cover from any rain. Brenda recommended a bar tender that our guests loved!
Our guests had plenty of space to wander and camp. The rustic cottages were popular with people who wanted to stay on site without lugging in camping gear. The ponds and trees were great backdrops for photos. Some of our guests enjoyed checking out the frogs, while others played frisbee or enjoyed Pete’s amazing bonfire. We talked with him about it, and he salvages unique large pieces of wood for impressive (but safe!) fires. S’mores are an option.
The facilities are lovely, but even more impressive was the assistance we got from Brenda and Pete, which was invaluable. They met us twice before the event, once for initial showing of the space and then again two weeks before the reception. They walked us through their amenities and answered all our questions (even ones we didn’t know to ask!), both in person and via email or text. Further, they were there for us during the event, bringing a sense of calm and professionalism. Their experience was evident – they were unflappable and easily solved our small issues on the day of the event. They made things really amazing for us.
It is hard to count all the good things we could say about Terrapin Hill Farm and Pete and Brenda. In sum, though, we loved our experience and think you will too.

An incredible weekend at the most gorgeous venue!! The ceremony spot was beautiful, with panoramic views of the Kentucky landscape. The reception area in the pavilion was perfect and big enough for all the tables, dance floor, and stage for live entertainment! We absolutely LOVED being able to stay on site in the farm house and cottages the day before and night of- relieved so much stress of not having to drive around the day of.
Brenda and Pete were great hosts, and offered just about anything we could need! There’s so much more I could say. 1000/10 would recommend working with them, and having your special day at this special spot! -

Emily Sent on 10/28/2024Top-Notch 4-Day Wedding and Music Festival
Terrapin Hill Farm was an absolute delight to work with for our 4-day camping wedding and music festival. Their communication style was prompt and succinct, and the quality of their work was unsurpassed. The team was attentive to upkeep, and we never saw any trash on the property. They were also diligent about cleaning and making sure amenities remained stocked and trash receptacles not full. They were clearly proud of their magical property. Brenda, Pete, and Jonah were always in the right place at the right time, anticipating our needs and being helpful and courteous to all of our guests without being prompted or asked to.
In the planning process, the Terrapin Hill Farm team was solution-oriented, expert communicators, and proactive in calling attention to best practices from their prior experience. They were always willing to work with us, even on the crazy things we asked of them, and when something wasn't possible, they offered alternative suggestions.
Brenda and Pete (the owners) are the consummate of hosts. They seamlessly and gracefully allow all guests to feel welcome on their little slice of magic of land. They were professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Going above and beyond to be hospitable and showcase their beautiful property for others to enjoy.
I hope to be able to host more events there in the coming years. -

Daniela Sent on 01/14/2022Gorgeous, Relaxed, Rustic Venue with everything you'd want for a perfect Wedding!
Where to begin? Our October wedding at Terrapin Hill Farm was PERFECT! It turned out better than I ever could have imagined. First of all, the landscape is gorgeous! It is rustic and serene. We chose the top of the hill as our ceremony sight and the breeze and sunshine, mixed with the view of the surrounding hills in the background, and the rustic wooden arch/teepee covered in flowers, made it all a dream to look at! Pete and Brenda are so relaxed and such lovely people who really strive to make sure you have an amazing day! Pete will even drive you (the bride) up to your ceremony in his old cadillac to make a grand entrance if you want. One of my favorite parts of the day was sitting in the cadillac with him on our way to the hill, and just talking about life and family. He was so kind and really helped calm my nerves! He also set up a bunch of lights and firewood and a mattress in the teepee on the property for our wedding night. They also have lots of decor that fits with the venue on hand that you can use that really looks good in that setting! We came up with most of our decor the morning of, using a lot of what they had, and everything turned out beautiful. We were able to have everything we wanted, from the huge bonfire and s’mores table, to a whole hog roast and mariachi band at the end of the night. Everything was perfect! I 100% recommend this venue to anyone who is a free spirit, who wants a relaxed place to celebrate with family and friends, while still having a gorgeous venue with everything you’d want! -

Pete and Brenda were so amazing and helpful through the whole process, they are very patient and accommodating! They truly went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we dreamed about. We hired Brenda to be the coordinator as well and we are so glad we did because she was in regular contact with us through all the planning stages and helped make sure everything went smooth and on schedule the day of. Terrapin Hill Farm is such a beautiful venue, there are many great spots to take unique wedding photos. There is so much potential there to customize and create a unique wedding tailored to your style. I would highly recommend Terrapin Hill Farm! -

Bri B. Sent on 10/04/2021We highly recommend Terrapin Farm!
A priority for us was being able to focus less on the little details and more on the commitment we were making. That being said, we also tried to plan our 160+ person wedding within 2.5 months… Despite the short timeline, it went so well, and that was in large part thanks to Brenda and Pete. Brenda was extremely quick to respond to emails and had a wealth of knowledge about local vendors. She offered ideas and items they had on hand, saving us a lot of money and brain-space in the process. Pete helped us set up and went above and beyond on the day-of to keep things running smoothly, from topping up water jugs to creating an awesome bonfire. We highly recommend renting the farmhouse for the night before, which allowed the wedding party to bond and relax leading up to the wedding. The whole venue is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and even though we had our wedding in the muggy heat of August, a nice breeze blew through the reception area and made it a sweaty-but-totally-bearable event. Having our wedding at Terrapin was a smooth, surprisingly chill, gorgeous experience. I recommend it to everyone seeking an outdoor wedding facilitated by extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and laid-back venue owners. Pro tip: get Brenda as the day-of coordinator! She handled our planning chaos with grace and poise and helped lower our stress immensely! -

Getting married at Terrapin Hill was the BEST decision we made in the wedding-planning process!! Brenda and Pete are wonderful people, who made it impossible to stress during the weekend. By Friday night, they felt like family! We were able to stay on site with our family for the whole weekend, and it was amazing to have no cut-off time to leave the bonfire. Brenda answered all my questions with kindness, and made me feel comfortable asking for what I needed. If you want to get married outside in a beautiful location, THIS. IS. IT!! -

Magical perfection!
Literally perfection. We booked Terrapin for our wedding weekend. My husband’s groomsmen spent the night out there before the wedding, and everyone (including many of our out of town guests) camped, brought RVs/campers, and/or slept in the farmhouse and bunk cabins after the wedding. The chapel stage was absolutely perfect for our ceremony, and we held our reception at the pavilion. Everyone raved about the bonfire, and our friends Restless Leg String Band played the reception. We danced ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Being able to bring in our own catering (with no limitations) and our own alcohol really helped our budget...and our guests benefitted from the open bar. Pete and Brenda were the most fabulous hosts, and were extremely accommodating and helpful every step of the way. If you are looking for a private, picturesque place to hold your wedding...please look no further. -

The Perfect Wedding
My daughter found Terrapin Hill Farm and loved it. I was a bit concerned. It seemed a bit more rustic than I wanted. Man, was I wrong. It was absolutely perfect! The wedding site was absolutely beautiful. My daughter walking out of the woods to come down the aisle is a picture I’ll never get out of my head. You won’t get prettier pictures anywhere! The reception area, we had it under the pavilion, was perfect! We didn’t even have to go the next day to clean up. The staff was so helpful and made everything run smoothly! It was just the absolute best day! -

Very Accommodating
Pete and Brenda are amazing, we had our venue booked with them for a year before our actual wedding date, Brenda was always available to answer any questions and accommodated every request me or vendors had to come view the property. Pete was a lifesaver with setup/take-down and helped with everything we needed and also things we did not know was needed. They both we very familiar with “the process” of weddings and are very good at handling the setup. The venue is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We opted for the 2 night package and it was worth every penny. So much less stressful and great to have everyone there. :) very affordable, beautiful, & the best owners who are laid back and understand that it is YOUR day 😊 -

Sabrina Sent on 01/20/2019Our Wedding at Terrapin Hill Farm
We knew we wanted to host our ceremony somewhere unique, somewhere that spoke to our values. After months of searching, we stumbled upon a photo of the farm's chapel stage on Instagram and instantly knew that was where we wanted to say our vows. Terrapin Hill Farm allowed us to get the most for our money and alleviate the stress of having so many different vendors - providing tables, chairs, linens, dishes, assistance with setting up and breaking down, and wedding packages that include an overnight stay. Brenda and Pete are delightful and helpful. Brenda offers assistance in wedding planning and Pete is able to officiate weddings on the farm - a service we utilized. Booking our wedding with Terrapin Hill Farms allowed us to spend the day focusing on what our wedding meant to us and spend the night celebrating in a way we'll never forget. We're forever thankful for our opportunity to have been married at Terrapin Hill Farm, and we're confident that you'll love this venue too. -

Haley Sent on 11/01/2018Terrapin Hill was our perfect venue
My now-spouse and I only looked at one venue in person while we were wedding planning, and we immediately knew that Terrapin Hill was the right place for us to say our vows after 5 years together. We live in Louisville, but both come from rural areas and wanted a venue outside of the city that reflected Kentucky’s natural beauty. We also wanted a venue that was inclusive, as we are both proudly queer, and my husband is transgender; we felt safe looking at THF due to their reputation and their inclusivity statement on their website.
Since we’re pretty young and had a limited budget, we were also completely sold on TH’s pricing. Ultimately, we had the farm for two full days, accommodations for several dozen people, help from TH owners and staff, bartenders, and a nightlong bonfire for less money than we would have paid in Louisville for a venue for a few hours. We also were not required to use any particular vendors, which helped us save significant money on food and an open bar. THF could absolutely be one of the many wedding vendors that unnecessarily jacks up their prices, but we felt that Brenda and Paul genuinely just enjoy hosting important and special events like weddings at their farm.
When Nic and I arrived to tour THF, Brenda showed us around on their golf cart, accompanied by an adorable older basset hound named Chester. We were so impressed by the beauty of the farm itself, with its rolling hills (with gorgeous views), many animal friends, and the structures that the Cashels have built or improved on the property. There was one moment in particular that I knew this was going to be our place: we drove up to the Chapel Stage, and Brenda explained that they had built this gorgeous structure (with a background of the woods) themselves, with lumber from the property. I saw something white hanging above the stage, and asked Brenda what it was. Her exact words were: “That’s a crystal. It was given to us on our wedding day 21 years ago, and we put it up there because it has 21 years of good marriage juju.” I knew *immediately* that these were our people.
Over the next year of wedding planning, Brenda was always prompt to respond to our questions via email, and always had suggestions when we asked for them. They even left the gate open to the farm one day so that my mother could come look at the venue, and they were fine with my parents arriving early the Friday before the wedding to set up a family dinner. At every point, the Cashels were helpful, responsive, and professional without sacrificing any warmth.
Our wedding day went absolutely perfectly, and I am sure that we have no idea just how much the Cashels and the THF staff did to help that happen. The THF staff helped direct people, moved chairs, set up our self-catered/potluck meal, bartended, tended the bonfire, and probably a dozen other things that we were too busy to notice. They also were kind enough to allow 50+ people to camp the night of the wedding, which was so much fun!
So many people told us that our wedding was the most beautiful and fun one that they’d ever been to, and we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish any of our ideas without the help of Terrapin Hill and the Cashels. We are not very traditional people, and we wanted to make our wedding our own: very queer and proud, community-centered, with a self-catered/potluck reception and a safe and fun option for overnight accommodations. We were able to have all of those things at Terrapin Hill.
A final note on this very long review: neither my husband nor I are very spiritual people, and most of our friends aren’t, either. However, we (and many of our people) felt a special something at Terrapin Hill that we’ve experienced only a handful of other times in our lives. There is a real sense of community and love at TH, and that was evident to absolutely everyone there. Less than three weeks after our wedding, we are already dreaming of renting out THF again for a big camping gathering in a few years! We cannot say enough good things about our wedding or Terrapin Hill. It’s a magical place! -

Allison Sent on 11/10/2017Terrapin Hill Farm was the PERFECT venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Pete and Brenda were such wonderful hosts, helping me prepare for possibly a 300 person wedding. The property was absolutely gorgeous and I don't think a single thing could have been any better! The girls got ready upstairs in the farmhouse, the guys got ready downstairs. Our caterer used the kitchen to prep our food. We took our first look photos up on the hill (SO beautiful!) and ceremony was by the A frame pavilion, reception in the covered pavilion. We used a couple extra pop up tents for more seating and had both a large and smaller fire going to cook smores over for dessert. This venue is incredible for the price and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a beautiful outdoor wedding!! -

Nicole Sent on 10/24/2017Brenda and Pete the owners of Terrapin Hill Farm are incredibly wonderful and helpful people to work with while planning and hosting a wedding. I had millions of unorganized, detail-oriented questions, and they answered each and everyone, promptly and efficiently. We originally chose the farm because it is absolutely beautiful, and then we were really sold when we found out all of the rentals that were included in the cost. They provided tables, chairs, linens, vases, directional signs, lights, and a teepee arch! We were able to have our rehearsal dinner at the farm house, we rented all weekend. They set up all the tables, chairs, arch, that we needed early in the day Friday in order for us to decorate for the ceremony/reception, before having our rehearsal dinner. Everything was so organized and just as I would ask if something could be done, it was already in the process of being done. My "expectations" were really blown out of the park with the way they showed up and made the entire weekend, start to finish, absolutely perfect. My husband and I even stayed later Sunday morning to talk to them about the wedding. They just make you feel like family and want to make sure you are at easy and not worrying about anything at all. I will forever remember this day and how perfect everything was, thanks to how wonderful they were to work with. -

We had a wonderful experience getting married at this venue. The farmhouse is gorgeous and the multiple ceremony sites provided flexibility in planning. The pavilion was a perfect reception area. My guests raved about how beautiful the grounds were. It was easy to decorate and many on hand items was a huge plus! We saved a lot of money not having to rent chairs, tables, or linens. Also for the ceremony, they have a rustic archway of sorts and optional attaching doors. The owners were onsite and very helpful the entire weekend answering our questions. In the central Kentucky area, you can not beat the value of booking the 3 day weekend at Terrapin Hill for your wedding!
The Farmhouse is old but the AC works wonderfully. At no point over the august weekend were we uncomfortable in the house. They did not skimp on toilet paper! There was plenty on hand and it was good quality! My brother-in-law insisted I include that in my review...
There was a spot for a small camp fire beside the farmhouse deck. We roasted marshmallows after the rehearsal dinner and enjoyed the night sky. Being out in the country side a little bit allowed us to enjoy the full experience of viewing the night sky stars without any light pollution. It was absolutely stunning.
I really have nothing bad to say about this venue. From arrival Friday morning to our departure Sunday evening, everything was wonderful. -

The farmhouse was such a cozy and homey stay, the pavilion was very clean and beautiful, and the ceremony site was exactly how I dreamed and envisioned our wedding to be! -
Rachelle Sent on 10/26/2017We celebrated our wedding on October 2nd. Brenda and Pete were very helpful. They allowed us to come view the property when it was available to plan. There is multiple places for the ceremony and a pavilion that can be used as back-up. We opted for the overnight package. Worth the money especially if you plan on having alcohol at your wedding. They have a farm house with a full kitchen and plenty of couches and a full size fridge. There is indoor accommodations for roughly ten or so as well as 3 cabins that have twin bunks. There is also camping allowed on site for those who wish to do so. There is also a full size bed in a separate room for the happy couple. It also includes a bonfire that Pete keeps up with for you. I made small changed up until the day before my wedding and they accommodated. They do not have a certain vendor you have to use and they also offer farm to table catering. Although we didn't use that they brought their grill from Lexington for us so we could grill out. Pete had a golf cart that is available for use for anyone that cant make it up the hill. Our day was perfect and we are so glad we chose terrapin.

Abi G. Sent on 12/07/2019The good, the bad, the ugly.
The good: Great flexibility. We had a very custom wedding that required a lot of setup, especially at the venue site. The venue has a lot of variety and you can take your pick of stages, ceremony spots, etc. We asked (and paid extra for) an extra day on the property and a stage extension because our band was quite large for the stage in the area we wanted. They invited us to stay an extra day since our equipment tear-down was so extensive. Communication with Brenda was good throughout the process.
The bad: The farmhouse (where we slept the night before the wedding) wasn't property cleaned. For one, there was a dead mouse in the trashcan in the kitchen. Which explained the weird smell.. and the mounting population of flies we couldn't seem to get rid of. Also, the downstairs bathroom was not clean. There was pee residue on the floor. It smelled like it, too. The carpet hasn't been cleaned in a long time and the place was just dusty/grimy. Not the sexiest place to spend your wedding night.
The pavilion where we had our wedding was relatively clean, but the rain curtains were moldy. The tablecloths (included in the cost) were covered in greasy spots.
My fiance and I did not have reception, which proved to be difficult when communicating with vendors and our wedding party.
The ugly: This venue is also used as a music festival site, known locally for being a place to party.... hard. That doesn't bother me so much, but contributed to a somewhat traumatic experience for us the day prior to our wedding. We stayed on the property for a couple of days to set up before the wedding. There are NO KEYS to the farmhouse where we stayed- it stays unlocked. They have a farm gate, which they left open the majority of our stay.
The day before our wedding, a very disturbed man who was either schizophrenic or on a boatload of acid came to the property and, after trying to WALK INTO THE FARMHOUSE WE COULDN'T LOCK, gave us a long rambling speech that made no sense and handed us a hand-written note about how sometimes he THINKS ABOUT SHOOTING THE PLACE UP. At this moment, I could have really used some cellphone reception.
The day before the wedding, I spent half a day in the sheriff's office crying hysterically and wondering if this man was going to literally murder everyone in my life that I love at my wedding.
When the police came by to speak with the venue owners that day, they didn't answer calls and wouldn't open the door to their house to the police (hmmmm).
To remedy the situation, they had a friend sit in their car by the gate to make sure this guy didn't come back. They also locked the farm gate so only the wedding party could get through prior to the actual wedding. We appreciated that.
I imagine most people will not have this issue at this venue. But it's worth noting that when you have a venue that's also used as a music festival venue where people do lots of drugs, you might have some weirdos or disturbed individuals who waltz right onto the property. And you might not have reception to call the police when they do.
TL:DR: This wedding venue is good for low-key, flexible, creative, low-budget brides. It has a ways to go in terms of security, cell reception, and cleanliness.
Of all my vendors, this is the only one I would not choose if I did this all over again. Thankfully, I don't have to!
