This venue is absolutely breathtaking. You will not find a better rustic/elegant venue then this one. Lynn and Randy are the sweetest and SO easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure everything we needed was taken care of. My wedding party and family absolutely loved the convenience of being able to have the rehearsal as well as rehearsal dinner at the venue. This venue was definitely everything I had dreamed about and more for my special day! -

Walnut Hill Farm made our dream wedding come true! It was nothing short of a fairytale! The owners and staff were SO kind and helpful. We cannot thank them enough! Hands down, the best venue around! 10/10 recommend them. The bridal suite was so nice for my bridesmaids and I to stay in the night before the wedding! -

Preparation Day (day before wedding) – Below are some details of our Walnut Hill Farms experience
• Green non-working algae pond with blue filter on a hand pole – I had to ask staff to clean the pond, add water, put shock in it and turn it on immediately so it would look nice for the wedding day (next day) for the photos — their response was the pond has a leak and they didn’t know we planned for pictures at the waterfall and pond even though I specifically said it to the host when viewing the facility. Also, who would not want to have pictures there? Per the agreement, the pond/waterfall is available for pictures.
• The fire pit at the waterfall was full of rain water. I had to ask for the water to poured out of the fire pit – their response was the fire pit pan is hot (due to the sun)
• There were multiple dead roaches or wood bugs on the reception hall floor that scared my granddaughter so I had to clean them up
• Cob webs in the facility corners, bathrooms and cabinets so the wedding planner asked staff to clean them – staff responded stating they didn’t know the cabinets would be used and had no explanation for the others.
• Dirty windows and mirrors – the wedding planner asked the staff to clean multiple times – staff expressed frustration but did clean them
• Linens were not on the tables during first 2.5 hours of setup so I began putting the linens on so we could proceed with the setup of tables – staff began to help after we asked multiple times
• No extra toilet paper in restrooms so my daughter had to ask for more to be put in the restroom – staff put additional paper in the restrooms
• During rehearsal— 4 venue family members sat on the front porch making us feel rushed. Rehearsal started at 6:00pm and they turned lights off in reception hall at 6:15pm stating they thought we were done in the reception hall. For the last hour they sat on the porch making us feel rushed and like we had to be done by 7. We had until 8:00pm per our agreement.
Wedding Day
• No WIFI and very poor cell phone service. No phone available for use. This not safe in case of an emergency. It took over 30 mins and lots of frustration to order pizzas due to the poor/no service.
• After the wedding and within the first 10 mins of taking photos, the staff asked if they could begin taking up the last 3 rows of chairs – the wedding planner agreed but the staff removed all but 4 chairs (we stopped them before they took them so the handicapped family members could use them to sit) which was distracting and resulted in not being able to take pictures some of the pictures that was on the photo list
• After the event was over at 8:15pm, the family cleaned up the facility. Per the agreement, we had until 11 pm to complete the cleanup. At 8:45pm, the staff seemed to pressure the family to finish up by stating we need to begin cleaning out the bridal suite when we were still cleaning the reception hall. We were done with reception hall by 9:00pm and bridal suite by 10:05 but had until 11:00.
• There were 20+ mph winds that broke branches out of live trees that almost hit guests and damaged a guest's truck. When looking at the sign with the onsite manager, she agreed the storm with high winds caused the sign damage – now, the owner is stating the onsite manager is not qualified to make that decision and charged $140 for an old sign that the wind gusts blew down and broke
• Bugs were bad outside so we had to purchase bug spray and make it available at the ceremony and cocktail hour.
• What is the definition of excessive cleaning? Mopping where a beer was spilled and wiping off a piece of furniture is considered excessive clean up and charged 2 hours at $100/hr which is inexcusable for a simple wipe with a wet cloth or mop
