    Well-oiled machine. Book them if you can!

    This venue is a well-oiled machine. They know exactly what they're doing, and the best thing you can do is just trust them! We had a 220-person wedding on the most popular wedding weekend of the year (October 8), Gibbet Hill had another wedding that same morning, and the night went SO smoothly and we felt special and taken care of. At the end of our ceremony, during our few moments alone, the staff had set out all of the appetizers for us in the wedding suite, and one of each signature cocktail. Bree Oates was our planner and coordinator, and we felt like family by the end. This venue and its professional staff KNOW how to host a wedding, and we're so glad we chose them. Guests are still talking about the event over a month later, reminiscing! Thank you, Gibbet Hill!

    A Perfect Summer Venue

    We got married almost three months ago on 7/15/22. We could not have asked for a more phenomenal experience with everyone at The Barn at Gibbet Hill. Dierdre was our coordinator and helped us plan throughout the year leading up to our event. We changed our details and numbers many times and things fluctuated, and she meticulously handled each change. She was a pleasure to work with. We had many strong opinions and Dierdre navigated helping us plan with grace and kept everyone calm right up until we walked down the aisle.

    Heather was our bridal party attendant and was phenomenal. Everyone kept telling us prior to the wedding that we wouldn't have time to eat during the wedding. Heather made sure that was not the case. Every time we turned around, there was a plate of appetizers or a fresh drink ready for us to taste. How many couples can say they were able to taste everything at their wedding?

    The week of our wedding, a number of family members got COVID and were not able to join us. The team helped us accommodate a last-minute videographer as as well as many last minute shuffles to the seating chart and layout. We never worried for a second that everything wasn't going to be handled.

    The food was delicious and the venue itself was stunning. We could not feel more grateful to have picked The Barn at Gibbet Hill.

    Wonderful experience!

    My now-husband had been to a wedding at the Barn at Gibbet Hill years before we met, and loved it so much that he told me early on that's where he wanted to get married. We frequented their restaurant, the Gibbet Hill Grill, for special occasions and the food and service there are both top notch, so it was an easy yes from me. We worked with Bree as our venue coordinator, and she made the process so easy and organized. The Barn provides tons of resources on recommended vendors as well as options for decor, and provides online tools for RSVP management and seating arrangements, which gave us an easy jumping off point for planning the rest of our wedding. For vendors we already had in mind we were free to hire who we wanted, but for other items it was great to have the Barn's resources and experience as a starting point so that we weren't blindly searching through an endless list of potential vendors. Bree met with us a few times during the planning process, and was easy to connect with by email or phone between meetings. When I wanted to do a last-minute signature drink swap, she made it happen quickly and easily. During the wedding, she was always around to keep things moving smoothly and check on us to make sure we had anything we needed. Bree and the other day-of staff always made sure we had a chance to have food and drinks, knew when and where we needed to be, and touched base with us throughout the night. Cocktail hour flew by while we were taking photos, so Bree made sure a plate of apps was brought down to the wedding suite so we could enjoy a few bites before the reception, and left a few snacks for us at our sweetheart table. Even our guests commented on how fun their waitstaff was and how great the service was during the party. The food was outstanding, and the venue itself is so beautiful it barely needed any decorating. We could absolutely not have been happier with how everything went.

Gibbet Hill is one of my favorite venues, offering lawn, deck, barn, and restaurant settings for any size wedding. There is power availability for each location (great for musicians/DJs), and the coordinators are great at keeping the day moving along smoothly. I also really enjoy the food! Really great scenery, convenient parking, and modern facilities.
